Doom & Gloom & the Neurologist

Seems to me that my last post sounded a bit doom & gloom. Well, to explain:
I was completely bored off my rockers, thought about calling up random friends and asking what they were up to, and whether they'd like to go... anywhere, actually. As in- OUT. Not at home. Infact, out of my suburb would have been best. I called up Lily, we went places... not too far away, unfortunately- my dad had a tracker, of sorts, attatched to me (called parental instincts). Blast it!

Now, here is a theory that I've formed about myself: I must have yet another Flynnic disease/condition. I can't seem to stay at home for over 24hrs at a time. I get all claustrophobic, kind of funny in the head(ok- funnier in the head)... I drift off into some lala land (I've even been caught staring out my window for hours on end... not blinking... completely lost and absorbed in some world or another). It's a Flynn thing... no explanations for it. Anyone else have that...problem? (Although it's not really a problem for me).

Apparently my doctor was soo, so terribly concerned about the well-being of my brain that she's recommended a visit to a neurologist. So that's my destination come Tuesday.
Let me tell you how it all came about (the fact that my doctor imagines something is so terribly wrong with my brain :S) ...

Mum, before heading off to BD, thought she'd do right by her daughter and ensure that all's well & good with my health before flying off.
There I was, at the doctors... not comfortable at all...insisting that nothing was the matter with me. And since nothing is wrong with me, the doctor- logically- sucks blodd out of me in order to do a blood test. Got the results back, only to be proven correct- there's nothing wrong with my blood. And again- logically- if there's nothing wrong with my blood, then it must be that something is wrong with my brain or my CNS, which is more or less the same thing.
(*You lot had better note the heavy sarcasm*)

So yes, I'm looking forward to discovering the enigma that is Flynn's brain. I wonder if I'll get to keep an image of my brain? That would be waaay awesome! I'd hang it up on my wall- and scare all the annoying brats who dare walk into my den.
:D

One last thing: Check Snowy's blog... you lot MUST!! She's updated- wrote pathetically little, but it's an update- so check & leave comments :D She's having a ball (can't believe it).

'tis thursday... Flynn is a bit downcast & ermmm... well- VERY lost. In my own little world, where it's all very nice and quiet & simple.

Don't feel like updating. Don't know what I'm typing... errrrrrr... I think that's all I have to say.
Except- I have one last question:
If I call one (or more) of you up...one day, randomly- and ask if you're free to umm... do something. Do you think you'd be able to come?

I need a good book- haven't read a good book since the beginning of Uni (end of HSC)... any suggestions??

Maybe Thursday??

I will update... I will, iA.

...But maybe on Thursday- I hope.... I think.

Sad News in Happy Times... Oh the Conflict!!

And yet again, Flynn shall write about a dear, dear friend of hers. And yes- this is yet another friend, not the ones I've written about so far.

So- Party... yes, I'm very excited about that, but something has come up that has led to Flynnic confusion.

And this is part of the message that has Flynn all in a tangle:

"shon amar pokkhe party-ta attend korte possible hobena……ami-je kibhabe sorry bolbo bujhte partisina……shudhu ektai karon..." [And said friend gave a very understandable & valid reason]. But it continues...

"...and we only got da news last nite……so ei obostai amar party korata thik hobena……I hope u understand….!!!but I hope u guyz just enjoy……..im sure u willll!!!!!!arekta kotha, ami shopping-e giye maltesers kinsilam yesterday…..oigula ami kuno rokomei howk ishider bashai pouchiye debo….so she can take it 2 da party 2mrw…….thik ase??ar shon, since ami party attend korte partisina, amar behalf-e tui [...] msg diye dish…"

There's more:

"...TC, ami khub really verry sorrryyy ami ashte parbona bole….nahoito ami party miss debo, eita to jiboneo hoinai ar hoitona…..kintu situation-ta dekhe ami na kore dichchi…..achcha taile, shobaike onek onek gudluk….ar hav fun!!!! tc and bhalo thakish……..amar nira apu-ke dekhar otirikto ichcha chilo, but I guess ar holona…..inshaAllah..... ar kobe je dekha hobe ke jane…."

Ah yes, and she left a final request for Flynn to do on her behalf, which I shall... if I can:

"...i know tui aga matha kichui bujhbina, but here it is…." :D

Lol- gee thanks... oh well- even though I won't understand head or tails of what she wanted me to do, I'm glad she trusts me enough to do it for her.

For some reason, this particular friend of mine never fails to leave an indelible impression on me... She is one very unforgettable character!! :D


Addendum: Does anyone else feel slightly nauseated?? And short of breath?? And about as prepared as that uncooked chicken lying in my fridge?? Or is it only Flynn???
God help me- the thing's all WRONG!!

days & nights

Argh!
Frustrated, kinda confused, lost...

So what's new??

I've gotta get outta here!! Soooo much to do, dammit!

Don't Tell Me these things on MSN!! I nearly DIED!!

Holy mother of pearl!!!!!!

Can you believe it??!
Who on earth would drop such a HUGE burden on Flynn... and on MSN, no less??????
Well, this friend of mine told me that there's a wedding being planned for, sometime next year... I nearly keeled over!!! Sheesh!!

I CANNOT belive it!!!!! And neither could this friend of mine, but hey, if Allah has planned it thus, then so be it. But Golly!! I'm sooooo EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!


Ok- Flynn is happy, but has been on this computer for too long. HP- please check your gmail... and everyone else, salaams, until I see you all at the Party!!

Can't wait 'til Friday arrives! And Ash- you ARE soooooo nosey, so NOT A WORD!

Temporary goodbyes

Going to the airport in about 30/40 mins, although I wasn't meant to go, but... party-crasher Flynn is going anyway.
I'll be saying temporary goodbyes to Lamzity, Snowy & me Mum. And then, a month or so later, it'll be au revoir to Ash from me :D

And of course, the Party of the year will be temporary goodbyes to the others... PS- it's an exclusive, invited guests only party :P
No- seriously, we want to keep it small and meaningful, not just a day to eat... and well, party.

Speaking of the party... I have sooo much to do! (Food, pressies, memorabilia, etc, etc, et...). At first, I thought I'd be tied up with things, but it looks as though I've managed to squeeze in some extra time... YAY! So more time for Flynn to plan and prepare...

PS Ishi- bring ur digital camera, as ours will be with Snowy & in another country. & remember to bring the "Glitz & Glamour" DVD you made.

Time to get flying! Off to the airport for me :D

New Beginnings

Party YAY!!

Ok- I'll just reveal the Theme: "NEW BEGINNINGS"
That's the official theme!

And another thing, Flynn has not only been invited, but she has been dubbed Party Planner (but only because I finished my exams before you lot :P)... oh well, I don't look a gift horse in the mouth (and I don't actually understand what that proverb means... but I know I'm using it in the right context...lol).

I think I've lost the plot & gone insane... but I'm sooooo happy to have finished. Can't believe I've finished first yr @ Uni already! I'm getting oooold! :S

Ok- peoples, keep thinking about the party, but ONLY as a motivating factor to do better, DO NOT let it become a distraction.

PS- HEEELP!! How does one go about planning an unforgettable party (for those who are moving on or just plain moving away)?!!??

Double Strikethrough

Tuesday: Psychology (If I don't even get a Credit in Psych., then what am I doing at Uni??)

Wednesday: Differential Equations (the only exam I've EVER nearly had a panic attack at the end of... yep- it was THAT bad... no WORSE!)

Thursday: Chemistry (I just want to Pass...pleeeease, oooh, pleeeaaase!)

Friday: Statistics (If any of you read this before 12PM [my time] tomorrow, then please, please, please make some intense du'a for me. I don't know what I'm doing on blogger... I think I've pretty much given up hope...)

CONGRATS ASH!!

OH MY GOD!!

ASH GOT INTO MED!!!

CONGRATS, MAD SCIENTIST!

C'mon, you lot, congratulate her, already!

Alhamdulillah!!

Things

Random things I’d tell you all if I saw you all more often:

Around midnight (note the time, it’s significant), Ash was sifting through her lecture notes, and I was peering over her shoulder for no particular reason. I read in one of them something about the “Blood Brain Barrier”. Now, I know what this is because I studied it in Neuropsych. So I got all excited, and said: “Oh, oh, oh! I know what it is! The Blood Brain Barrier- it’s… in the brain…”
Thus followed a 2 second silence before Nemo collapsed on her bed in an uncontrollable fit of laughter, followed by Snowman & Ash. This was the second “Cher/Clueless-space-cadet” thing I’d said in one night (the other being that 7X4=14). BUT, they hadn’t let me finish my sentence! I was going to continue and say “… it prevents certain drugs/ hormones from affecting parts of the brain, but it doesn’t stop anti-histamines from making you drowsy…” So I’m not stupid… really, I’m NOT!! :P

Speaking of stupid… did anyone know that Aus has it’s own MENSA soc.? I had no idea… just found out when I read about it in the Sun Herald. Oh, and speaking of the Sun Herald… Ishi, who delivers your SMH (Sydney Morning Herald)??
See, every Saturday & Sunday, the poor Newsagent man (whom I used to buy from- gum & lollies & junk in general- back in my school days) delivers it to my place at friggin 5:30 AM!! Is he NUTS?? I don’t read the paper that early! I wouldn’t mind if he delivered it at 5:30 PM… for goodness sake… 5:30 AM is the when I’m going back to sleep, having prayed Fajr. Poor guy, I feel so bad now (for subscribing to SMH for the next, whole, entire year!) So now, every Weekend, at 5:30-ish, as soon as I hear a thud coming from my veranda, I’ll have to try to run outside if I want to thank him.

This is getting too long & none of you will have read up to here, but other events in the life of Flynn:

Aunty & Uncle S. have gone for a temporary visit out of state (with Fuzzy & Squishy), leaving Lombu & Big Man in (our) care.

Tuesday- Psyc; Wednesday- Math; Thursday- Chem.; & FINALLY! Friday- Stat.

Guests were still coming in their flocks on Saturday! The final lot (hopefully) left around 11PM Saturday night. Me poor Mum’s deader than Elvis Presley & I think I’ve grown an aversive, conditioned response to the kitchen & phone (but not my mobile- that I can’t live without!).

Ash is hyped (I suppose Snowy is as well, but she doesn’t show it), as she expects multiple wedding parties to be held during her stay in BD. I refuse to give exact numbers, but suffice to say that she’s going to need a LOT more clothes & gifts (for the newly-weds) if she wants to attend ALL those parties. Strange, but even so, I have no wish- none at all- to go to BD. Hmm…

Lastly: things are happening… ermm- specific things… I’m just wondering how to word them.

Facts of Life

Assalaamu Alaikum... the latest facts of (my) life...

Fact: I hate the kitchen!!
Reason: I spent a good 12+ hours there (and on Eid day, no less). Don't try to dispute that fact of life, Ash... you know it's true. And ther's also the fact that I spent 2/3 hrs the night before (having come back from Uni at 7:10 PM)... in the kitchen!

Fact: I'm going to be killed!
Reason: I spent (wasted) my credit in all of three days... down to $5 now :S

Fact: My eyes are bloodshot.
Reason:Haven't slep more than 8hrs in 2+ days.

Fact: Australia sucks!
Reason: It was waaaay too hot (30+ degree C, and humid beyond belief) on Eid Day, of all days!

Fact: I'm DOOMED!!
Reason: My exams start Tuesday (4 days from now :S)... and I have not done a thing! Lordy, I don't know how I plan on passing my exams... don't ask me what I'm doing on blogger.

Fact: Eid-ul Adha will only be half the fun of Eid-ul Fitr.
Reason: If Ash goes to BD, then there's 3 of them gone (Ash, Mum & Snowman)... and only 3 of us left in Aus. (Nemo, Dad & myself)... and hence, we'll be celebrating half an Eid :( Oh well, it's better than having a lamenting Ash around the house while Mum & Snowy are there having all the fun.

Fact: HP left her handbag at our place last night.
Reason: They (HP & family) were in a rush to get home last night... any ideas how I give it back to you??

Fact: My Mum's heading in my general direction.
Reason: She's checking to see if I'm studying :S

Fact: I've gotta buzz off now... (Wassalaamu alaikum me mateys!)
Reason: I want to live to see another day!

Cheap Way Out

For all those who've sent me Greeting cards or just greetings in general, and for all those who are out of my reach (ie- a whole country/ ocean or two away), I'm really, really sorry, but I'm afraid I have to take the cheap/ easy way out... and wish you all a generic EID MUBARAK on blogger!

So here it is: HAPPY...



Ok- I loved the pic, so I just HAD to include it :D
