Hiya!

Honestly, I'm not a good blogger, I don't have a problem shirking even real blogging jobs so the idea of making my own personal blog is a bit dodgy, because I can take my own time writing here. But as I learned from fellow blogger Perx, this blog is for yourself, not for other people, so here goes.

I think I'm going to maintain my slight anonymity on the internet, lol, but even I can track myself from my other blog to eventual real forms of identification so if someone wanted to, they could totally track me down. A scary thought really. Anyways, I thought I would introduce myself with one of those email quizzes that one of my friends sent me, changing answers where they're too personal.

Hey, so now my turn learning lots about you....
hey tia is a cool name, i bet ur name is tania or something like tahira, ain't it?
lol, thank god its been a week since u've cried, normally, all the girls that i have known tend to be fountains...
u have a diary, that is gr8... it so fun reading other's diaries, especially when u read 'em without the owner's knowledge ;)
waise, i even tried to write a diary once, and after 1 page, it went into the bin.
hey, hi5... froot loops are my fav. too!
hey, u still wear salwar kameez living in SA? u surprise me....

Tia143 said...

Thanks...are you psychic Perx? There is no way you could come out with 'Tahira' from Tia. Lol, aw man, did you track me down in cyberspace?

I don't cry until things get really horrible, lol, and thank God, things are usually quite good in my life.

Be careful when you're snoop around other people's diaries, lol. Why didn't you keep your diary? Because it didn't talk back to you? Lol.

And yup, I do wear shalwaar kameez sometimes...anyways, it was almost midnight when I wrote that and shalwaar kameez are good PJ substitutes.

@tigger
no, i am not a psychic(god, i wish i was) and, i didn't track u down in cyberspace, just searched a couple of muslim names sites for names starting with "t", first i had tried tabassum....lol
good yaar, at least koi ladki mili who doesn't cry very much, i must say, it seems like an infection, at least here in india.
careful? I told my sister after I had read her diary and even teased her... it was soooo fun. yeah, i guess thats exactly why i didn't keep my diary. I even deleted my 1st blog when i got no visitors and no comments... until ish convinced me to start another one. I like getting feedback on my feelings and experiences... wierd, huh?
Yeah well i guess they are, cuz bahar koi na koi to point out kar hi deta hoga, ki what r u wearing?

Tia143 said...

Lol, well, I have to say, you do your research well.

Aw man, shame, some girls seem to like being emotional messes. While there are advantages to be the victim, lol, crying plays havocs with your looks. Puffy eyes, messed up hair, big red nose...

I'm assuming you're younger than your sister? Lol, reading diaries and teasing your sis about it seems like a very little-bro thing to do.

Nahee yaar, idhar koi kuch nahee kehta. SA is a multicultural society, you can walk around with a little mini-skirt or be in full purdah, no one cares, lol. I have worn shalwar kameez when I go out sometimes, people just tell you how great you look :-D

jas said...

Yep, crying does take its toll on you.
and yes, i am younger than my sister, big brothers are more protective, while we smaller ones have all the fun teasing her.

Tia143 said...

Lol, try dealing with a brother who's almost your age. Likes to tease and he'll be protective at the same time.
