Forever Confused

WHY DID THE LATEST GLEE MAKE ME CRY?
Actually thats easy- CAUSE IT WAS BEAUTIFUL BICHEZZZZ.
If you have not, then you MUST watch it.
I'm going to do the exact aisle dance at my wedding.

I am so confused.
Yes SAT? No SAT?
What about early decision? What about COLLEGES?
How do you chose the best, where do you START?
Is A levels even important?
What if my GPA doesnt step up?
Am I going to be stuck here forever?
Will I get a chance to escape?

Always You.

Okay, I dont want to be all 'OMGAWD I HAVE AN AWESOME VOICE I ROK'.
Because I dont.
But whatever.

Always You.

Its always you
whenever I'm blue

whenever I'm sad
When I feel bad

Its always you
whenever I'm blue

you turn that frown
upside down

you twirl me around
its like you've found

what I'm all about

its always you
whenever I'm blue

Its always you baby. ;)

My Teenage Dream

The latest episode was so adorable with the whole Kurt thing!
And I used to HATE Teenage Dream because of the stupid lyrics and racy music video... but Glee has converted me once again.



So school is off for 9 whole days on account of Eid.
I'm happy about that, except the girls who I was supposed to have a mega sleepover plan with ditched at the last second, which isnt they're fault. But still.
> SAD FACE. <

Its not that bad though, I do have a buncha books and movies to lick anyways.
I miss my best friends. NONE of them is in the same city as me.
And that bites.
They're in Houston, Canada and Karachi, and I'm in Lahore.

In other news, I saw Get Him to The Greek, and to say FUNNIEST MOVIE EVAAAAA BICHEZZZZZZ,
wont be an exaggeration.

There is an African child inside me, after all.
