*is ded*

Urgh. I'm pretty sure my internal organs want to kill me. Also, I keep hitting Ctrl instead of shift and it is making typing very annoying.

URRRGH. I actually wanted to write about far more interesting things, like being back in Oxford and seeing Brokeback Mountain and hanging out with all the cool people once more, or even the French Fourth Republic (as I now know what it is), but sadly my mind is too fixated on the fact my body wants it to die. I love India as a country, I really do, but all native bacteria should be lined up and terminated with extreme prejudice.

So, um, meme. From [livejournal.com profile] chicklet73: The problem with LJ: We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Go on, it'll be fun. Also, I wanted to do the "10 things I assume you know about me" meme from a while back, but I think India intervened.

Now please excuse me while I drown in paracetamol and other assorted over-the-counter analgaesia. (God bless India, where there is no such thing as a counter.)

Okay, no, no, my previous question was idiotic. Honestly.

How do you treat LiveJournal? If something amusing happened, would it be filed away in your brain as something to be LJ'd, or just a memory to treasure?

I don't know whether this "should be obvious", but I've often wondered it -

How often did you go to India when you were growing up? I think you've been a couple of times a year since I started reading your LJ - was that normal when you were younger, or is that partly the result of you being older and more travellable? And did you usually visit your father's family, your mother's family, or both equally?

Um... I know you said quite a bit about how you feel at christmas, but do you feel set apart in any way because you celebrate things like diwali&go to India&still have quite strong links with there?
It just intrigues me. When I was growing up we'd all celebrate diwali as well as christmas (the area I went to school in has a lot of differing religions all packed into a pretty small space) and I don't think I ever felt left out by it, because they read us stories about it and I thought it was a fantastic idea for a festival (And we always got to do fun things for diwali), but the rest of the small proportion of my class that was christian, I don't know how they felt about it.
I'm rambling. Did I actually ask a coherant question? Ah well, back to my cuppa *sips tea*

Hm... Have you always lived in England? Or have you been to other countries and come back? Sorry, this feels a little random and lame, but I've got the feeling from some of your entries that you've moved around a lot, and was just wondering where/when-ish?

DEATH TO THE BACTERIA!!! Hope you feel better soon. *hugs*
