The Almost-Slumber Party was yesterday, and to say it was big hit, would not be an exaggeration.
When the girls were leaving, I was really happy that everything had gone so well and how they had enjoyed so much.
Did I enjoy? Not really- I mean, it was nice- in a way, but I felt like the mother hen.
I was in charge of the whole music/movie/microphone. All the teachers sat on their fat asses and looked on, while I handled the whole thing.
Frankly, I dont think any one else could have done the job. They're too stupid for that.
The day before the party, I asked an 18 year old girl to give me suggestions as to what type of music they would like to listen to.
This is the list she promptly texted me:
1.* Starstruckk
2.* Bonanza-belly dancer_ akon
3.The best damn thing_avril
4.* barbie girl_aqua
5.* Good girls gone bad_cobra starship
6.* Stereo love_edward maya
7.* Ring my bells_enrique
8.** Tick tock_kesha
9.**kiss where the sun dont shine
10.***Me and you
this was just the first ten ENGLISH songs... the list also includes popular songs like Vanilla Twilight, Girlfriend, 'Waka Waka', Baby-by Beiber.. the super hit- Hips dont lie.. Taylor Swift.. and other lovely tween tunes.
For dancing to.
There was a little note too:
Yar jin pe stars hain wo ZAROOR lana!!
I kid you not.
At the party, I didnt seem to have enough dance tracks- they kept coming to me and at least a dozen of them were put off when I told them no, I didnt have any punjabi remixes.
They had to settle for Lover Mera Hit Hit.
Poor girls.
At one point, while we were all being served dinner, Aja Nachle started playing (the iPod was on shuffle-mode).
As soon as the girls realized which song it was- this is what I could make out from the joyful screams that ensued :
Girl1- AB GANA START HUA HAI!!!!!!!!11
Girl2- ASLI GANA TO AB SHURU HUA HAI!!!!!!!!1
Girl3- OMG YEH FIT GANA HAI BARA!!!
Girl4- PARTY TO AB START HUEE HAI!!!!!!!111
My aunt and I exchanged looks of the what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-them variety, but that wasn't anything new since we generally kept exchanging such looks throughout the evening.
Especially when they 'voted' that they didnt want to watch a movie (Knight and Day) cause from 'SHUGAL KARNA HAI, YAH MOVIE?' Shugal won.
Obviously.
What was this shugal? I hear you ask.
Shugal.
[Shoo- gal]
Definition: An Urdu word meaning 'fun'.
Actual definition: Dancing like your butt is on fire to indian songs, hooting at the start of each song, exclaiming with joy how this so is your 'best favorite song ever!!!1!1!', doing the 'snake dance', the 'couple dance' and then taking pictures where you're half smiling/pouting and showing off your zehreeli sultry look.
Over Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.
After an hour of a lot of torturous shugal and other paindoo shit, it was time for a 'Dance/Singing Competition'! Yay! It was like, the biggest shugal of all. This O level girl danced like a complete crazy, so hard, that her pants actually slipped off her butt- SEVERAL TIMES [her shirt was too long to actually show off any flesh though], but the clingy tee obviously outlined her butt crack extremely well, so brownie points for trying!
Whatever.
I dont feel like writing an more about it- but the gist is, after several other random activities- freeze tag etc. It was finally over.
A lot of them came up to me, saying goodbye, a few even hugged and thanked me for whatever I'd done that day. After they'd gone, I picked up the mic and I sang.
I was too hoarse from all that shouting and running around (freeze tag) to be up to my full potential, but I wasn't all that bad. [Random thought-I wish I could get singing lessons.]
Anyway, so later on, after I went home, so fucking tired, after being on my feet for five hours straight and shit, what I was NOT expecting from my so-called friends was this:
I checked a ''friend's'' facebook profile to see if she had upped the pictures yet and this is the facebook status that simply, made my day:
MTK-enjoyed da slumber party!!!!!special thanks 2 YAXLY,AMANDA,NOREEN,ZEPHER,SWEETOO,AFIA,AROOJ,FOXY!!!!!I LUV U AWL!!!!bohat maza karwaya tum logoun nai!!!i want have a slumber party once again!!1!1!!!!*
*Names have been changed.
This made me so mad and very sad.
I MEAN WTF OK.
I'd been the one going bonkers over this stupid party.
Trying to arrange everything- from the stupid prizes for the party games, the whole music thing, the whole movie thing etc etc.
I made sure that we did everything perfectly, no school-screwups- to make the party a blast for the kids, so that they'd love their school- instead of hate it all the time, recognize how awesome/cool/nice I was therefore leading to me being better friends with everyone and finally feeling like I belonged, instead of like an outsider and this is what they conclude from my efforts.
I'd worked hard on finding the perfect prizes, the best movies and convincing my aunt to make various allowances- Et cetera, Et cetera and Et cetera .
But you know.
YAXLY,AMANDA,NOREEN,ZEPHER,SWEETOO,AFIA,AROOJ,FOXY ne actually bhot maza karwaya hai.
Well, its their loss.
I'm done being nice to them, and trying to be friendly with their loser-ness.
While I was in my corner, handling the music and shit, not one of them bothered to just come up and chat- they were too involved in their own friends.
Who cares about the new girl? The one whos helped make all this possible?
Lets all have fun with YAXLY,AMANDA,NOREEN,ZEPHER,SWEETOO,AFIA,AROOJ,FOXY and other random losers, thank them and love them, shall we?
The school still sucks, and what? CLG who?
I understand them now.
In the past month, not one of them has made an effort to get to know me one bit- yeah, they're friendly, they've invited me out whenever they 'hang' and shit, but none of them, none, not a single person talks about ANYTHING that even remotely matters. I doubt any of them even knows what words like 'sarcasm', 'feminism' and 'book' even mean.
All they talk about is either their boyfriends, or how chawal everyone else is.
Well.
I'm done.
And frankly I'm better off on my own.
None of the fucking losers even wore PAJAMAS to the Goddamn PAJAMA/slumber party!
Ugh.
In other stupid shit-
Lahore is seriously intellectually pathetic, or so it seems.
The fucking city doesn't even have an A level literature teacher, who isn't teaching in LGS!
And apparently, the LGS teachers dont offer private tutions.
I'm still looking though.. but so far the only option is:
Drop literature- the only subject I was good at.
Lets add to that how I still dont get anything in Chemistry AND Physics, how I'm a huge blog-fail, how I wont have any nice/normal friends here ever and so folks, we have:
x
CLG.
I can't wait to meet them
ReplyDeleteHaha,you're loosing it CLG! I feel your pain! :D Read a good book to cleanse your mind.
ReplyDelete"To walk with kings, nor loose the common touch" They don't say that for nothing :)
No idea what that means.. But thanks anyway Saj. I know.. a few more days with the above mentioned crazies and I WILL lose it.
ReplyDeletelol@ zehreeli sultry look, it annoys the crap out of me!
ReplyDeletei took English Literature as one of my O level subjects too : )
Come back to Karachi.
ReplyDeleteThere's no other PROPER solution except that you convert your self to the environment,in short start been a true paindo.:)
Falaxy.. thats so cool, except Im talking about A Levels here.
ReplyDeleteZehra.. LOL, I hope not.
Oh god. I've seen this sort of attitude in people often. x__x
ReplyDelete" not a single person talks about ANYTHING that even remotely matters."
^So true omg, there are so many people who do that.
I think you should read. Books are awesome, plus reading will probably neutralize the effect of all those crazy people you mention : )
Hope things get better.
I DO READ.
ReplyDeleteIts not enough.
LOL. Loved the drawing. =D
ReplyDeleteAnd koi nai, just smack them real hard the next time you see them in school.
I don't know why i'm telling everyone such violent tareeqay. But whatever, it should help you loosen up a bit. It helps me, know? =D
Haha, I feel like it sometimes.
ReplyDeleteBut I'd probably get expelled.
I TOLDJA SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
ReplyDeleteAnd you defended Lahore over and over again. i told you it would be like this didn't I!!
But GOOD WORK ON THE PARTY CLG! I saw the pictures and you did a phenomenal job.. i know its hard to organize such an event all on your own. I am proud of you!
P.S Go back to the inbox i wrote about my English teacher, refer to the last few lines i wrote to make you feel better. :D!!
p.s i know it doesn't matter anymore because *refer to your blog entry before this, on rules of attraction* :)
ahahahahaha
