Meet me !


You are The High Priestess


Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.


The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

The original meme I read said to go to the address bar at the top of your internet browser, type a letter of the alphabet, and write down what website comes up. I usually delete my history often so I don't know what I'll come up with. I'll try avoiding the boring mail ones, so here it goes :)

Where's the Funk in Funky Town?

SO, it's been three weeks since I landed my cute tushy to Funky Town. All goes well, little drama, little pampering, little everything. But last night, I finally went out at night with my girlies.

We went to this lounge and then to this club, I say club, people call it a club, but it has to be the tiniest club in the world. It's all a bit icky. Anyhow, this place is called Shisha. A few of ya'll would know about it. It's the most overpriced place in Funky Town and filled with the biggest bunch of losers.

So, I was one of the losers there last night. We went in about eleven o'clock. *OMG! Who goes to a club that early?* Well, I do. I don't really see the time, if I want to have a good time at four a clock in the afternoon, I'd go out and do it. Besides we were in Shisha for what I thought would be just one drink.

We entered and this place was deader than a cemetery full of dead people! I didn't care much, I don't need a crowd as such to entertain myself, I can just have a great time with my girlies. Dum dee dum, three of us decided to have Kamakazee shots before we head off. The DJ when we entered was playing LOVE SONGS! You know those really cheesy 80s music, excatly that. No wonder the place was dead. My friend went and told the DJ something.



Like I said, I wasn't bothered. But after the shots, my friend really pestered me to go to the DJ and ask him to play one decent song AT THE LEAST! Grudgingly, I went up, asked Mr Oh I'm So Hot but in reality so Ugly DJ *can you see I'm vain?* if he had Whiley. He said WHAAAAT ! Rudeness ! You say pardon and not WHAAAAT ! I repeated. And he said no. I mean really he hadn't heard the awesome "Usually drink, usually dance, usually bubble" Whiley! Everyone loves Whiley. How can you not know who Whiley is?! Anyhow, I asked him politely if he had any other number besides Love Songs. He said he doesn't have any songs.

I was flabbergasted ! I mean sure I wouldn't go to LDN and start talking to a DJ, and even when I have, they have been the most polite and genuinely nice people! And I'm not talking about Student Bar Djs here. I had a good mind to tell him to fuck off, but then I didn't. I have to go back to crappy Shisha again on Friday. I shouldv'e asked him why is he a DJ if doesn't have any songs?

Oh Mr. Schitt! Maybe I shouldv'e gone with you, you make me look so much more cooler and I don't get rudeness slapped on my face! Mr. Schitt make me coooooool ;)

YouTube me !

I wanted to, I needed to, I desired to put videos on my bloggie, but the thing is I'm a bit technically challenged.

I love this video, it's BBC's The Wall video, and it cracks me up. Thanks to Harsh for helping me figure this shit out. Now you all can enjoy my stupiness!

Big Bad Blogger Challenge

I love reading blogs. Most of them are the best short stories you'll ever read. Ch'know? is a blog I read daily. Alicia, the blogger, writes upto 2-3 posts everyday, and it's always fun to go to her page and read a new post every single time.
She put up this blogpost recently, called the Big Bad Blogger Challenge earlier in the week and I've been meaning to work on it, but I'm, well, a lazy sod.
So today,I've decided to take up the challenge and answer all the questions, just because, I'm pretty damn bored ! I usually blog about my RL, so here goes nothing.




Q.1)Do you have places in your dreams that you frequent, but yet they do not exist anywhere in the world?

A. I'm a dreamer, I dream of places which I have never visited before and it just so ends up, after my dream I end up in the said dream place. For example, a couple of weeks or months ago, I dreamt of standing near a counter and talking to someone. I saw a suitcase, and I was having a very important decision. Fast forward to now, I was standing in Mumbai International Airport, and there I was standing near the very same counter, with the same suitcase and having a very important discussion. Spooky eh? Well, that's just the beginning of me ;)

Q.2)If you could snap your fingers and get rid of one thing in your life, not body related, what would it be and why? And I say not body related just because I think we tend to be hard on ourselves sometimes, and we need a body rest. :)

A.I would get rid of me carrying around bad weather everywhere. I swear it's a curse! When I'm London it rains, when I'm India it pours. Hell, last year when I went to Barcelona for a holiday, it poured all the four days we were there, and the jolly ol' locals informed us that it never rains in Barcelona *not this much* I went to Porto and Madrid this year it rained. It's a curse, how do I get rid of it?? :(

Q.3) Besides your car or house, what's the most expensive luxury item that you have? Did you buy it just to have it, or do you actually use it?

A. The most expensive thing that I have bought, which I use super carefully, is my Fendi bag. I love it to pieces, but I can't use it when it rains *I don't want to spoil it* and knowing my luck with the weather, it means I hardly ever get to use it. Shruti pats her adorable silver Fendi bag and whispers to it, "I'll take care of you my baby." ;)

Q.4) Would you start a relationship with someone you met online?

A. Hmmm, seeing that Mr. Schitt was transferred to me through the damn 'ternet, I'd say, if this was back in the day, yes. Now, maybe not so much, because you can't really line out the creeps from the naturally freaky! This is not to say I'd befriend every freak who sends me a Facebook message, "I saw your profile, your smile is like Holyfield's knockout punch, coffee at Costa?" I don't think so! But Laddoo, one of my closest friends is my 'ternet friend too. "Hey laddoo, we should meet up!!" ;)

Q.5) Have you ever been in a harsh weather situation, like a hurricane? How did you deal with it?

A. Call me the "Weather lady", not because I can forecast the weather, but because, I'm the queen of bad weather. Ya'll know that I carry rain, but a few know that back in 2005, I was stuck in Mumbai, because of the damn floods. It rained cats and dogs the day I got my tattoo and was supposed to fly back home. I dragged my suitcase when I found out my flight has been cancelled because of the rains. I sighed, I wanted home, my own bed. I thought it'll subside, but neeeeeoooo, it rained so much, I was stuck in Mumbai for two nights. The drama queen in me was very pissed off. I couldn't go out, and there was no electricity in the house. It was pathetic! After two days, when it was safe for air traffic, I took the first flight out. The good news, I got a great front page story for the newspaper I was working with that time.

That's all for now folks. I'll update when the Thursday topic is put up. Woot !

I'm tired

**warning- super depressing**

Of late, it feels like I'm zoning out of my own existence. I don't know why it's happening. But I'm gradually fading away.
I turn 23 in two days. Usually, the hyper bunny in me would be jumping up and down. I somehow have always loved birthdays, be it mine or loved ones. I would plan out my birthday in my head, a party, a dress.
More than that I would imagine what gifts I would get. It's silly and childish, but I love receiving presents. More so, because I love giving them to.
When you are young, everyone plans something special around your birthday, because they know it would make your tiny heart scream with joy. Are birthdays only for kids?
I know, I should be old enough to understand that birthdays are no big deal. But I just can't act like it is any other day. Can I? When it's my friend's birthdays, I try to organize a surprise for them, or book them for an amazing meal. Why wouldn't anyone do it for me?

Reality keeps ruining my life^

It's usually very easy for me to get addicted to things. Be it chocolate, Facebook or a silly computer game. I usually don't come across as the person who would be glued to the laptop hours at end playing computer games. Well, you can imagine me as the person glued to Facebook or MSN, but computer games would probably never cross your mind.
Anyhow, I've been playing this game for the past year. I started it when I was writing my dissertation, mainly because life was a bore. A year on and I'm still hooked. I think Second Life™ does that to many people.
I always found a reason to log on, curiosity, fashion, OooOo Virtual friends, or just plain old exploring ! It's a really cool game, if like me you have no life !
Recently, London School of Journalism announced that it would be opening it's doors in the Metaverse. LSJ would be offering lectures on various topics, and it's courses are NUJ (National Union of Jounalists) certified! And I went on to have a look.
The place was dead. Unless it's a club or a sex dungeon (gasps!!), most places in SL™ tend to be empty, it's only full till the eyeballs in case of an event.
So I left and came back to the sim a couple of days later, to find some dude who explained to me about LSJ. I can't say the conversation was interesting, but I asked him when the next lecture was *yes! I am a nerd!* and he said that the lectures are held with gaps of 21 days in between and the last one was the weekend gone by. Disappointed I agreed to keep track of the events. A month and still waiting ! Several writer and poetry ones have occurred, but none relating to journalism so far. BooHoo !

Click to see the larger version of me in the virtual LSJ campus


I do think it's a great idea for LSJ to open it's doors in SL™, I wish they had this during my university days, hell I wish my university did it. By the way, the university I attended was the top journalism university when I started, by the time I left it went down in the charts. What a bummer !
SL™ also has other businesses online, Seat just sent me a notecard about it's new sim, I haven't checked it out and I doubt I will! But the Doctor Who write, Terrance Dicks, was online recently for a little talk his book and Giorgio Armani had an interview in SL™ last year. So it's all very cool. Not just for little nerds like me :)
I just thought I should write something positive about the virtual world, since most national media seems to diss it, hey ! it's not all about sex and hawala *money laundering for the blissfully ignorant*.

Dear Pervert

I see you have been checking me out ever since I got on the train. I do realize that my skirt is short, but in case you haven't noticed it's finally summers!

Your leering at me just angers me and had you not been drunk and with a burly friend I would've kicked you in the balls so hard that next time you even think about looking at a girl, you hurt!
I know you are a low lying scum who hasn't got laid for the longest time and your idea of a perfect date is beer and a few burps before getting down to business. Mind you, your ugly bald head and disgusting clothes don't make it easy for you to get that many dates in the first place!
I would like to point out that just because you have your pathetic eyes on me, doesn't bother me. Maybe seeing me is the highlight of your day or maybe even month of your sorry excuse for a life!

So carry on your misreable existence while I pop out of the train not bothered about you! Next time before you leer at someone, I do hope you remember she won't give a flying fuck about you, because my dear, you are nothing but a pathetic pervert. Here's tip for you: Why don't you choke on your beer and die?

Muchos hatred

You got me tripping for you !

This is my favourite poem of all times, it makes me smile, it gets the teeny romantic out in me *yeah the only time i know of my romantic side's existence!*

I wanted to share it with the whoever reads this blog...it's the most beautiful poem I've read.



I carry your heart

I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it(anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)
I want no world( for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)

- E E Cummings

I've just returned from a week long holiday in the sun. Spain and Portugal are two countries I love. There is something so romantic about these countries, or maybe because the men in this country are super hot and their accents are to die for.
For someone who hates travelling, I have travelled to quite a few places and I blame (or thank) my parents for that. They love travelling.
This whole travelling business got me thinking, I don't hate travelling as much as I hate the journey. Once I'm at the destination I look doing silly touristy stuff, I love seeing how the locals live, and I speak the local language albeit very miserably!
It's the damn journey that turns me off from travelling every time. Right from check in through baggage claim, I hate the whole process!
Check in is the worst. When I travel from India, I always have excess baggage. Let me rephrase this, wherever I travel from I always have excess baggage. I had excess baggage when I came back from Spain this time! What can I say I don't believe in travelling light! I blame it on my girliness ! After the "Please, but it's only 2 more kilos extra, and I don't even have a handbag" drama, I always ALWAYS point out to the check in lady that I want an aisle seat. As soon as the word aisle has flowed out of my mouth, I get a look from the check in lady. She looks me up and down, and then shrugs, I bet she's wondering what a shortie like me needs an aisle seat for. Girls go for windows...don't they?
Those cramped up economy class seats, where the fatty or the pervy next to you is spilling all over you, or omg that annoying kid in the seat behind you who won't shut up! Oh my god I hate planes!
Even the toilets on planes are freakishly tiny! God forbid I put on a lil' weight, I won't be able to go pee ! Once in the toilet locks are either broken or work very very very badly ! It takes me an hour to lock myself in, and I've had times, when people have barged into OTHER people while they were doing their toilet thing! Tsk tsk at Air India passengers !
Have you ever noticed in the toilets the No Smoking sign? And write below it the ASHTRAY sign! I don't get that ! What are the trying to say...you're not allowed to smoke, but if you do smoke remove all evidence by using the ashtray !
It baffles me ! Oh, I so wish there was a teleport system, in which I shut my eyes choose my destination and within seconds I arrive there without the hassles of airports and aeroplanes ! *Sigh*
I can only wish...

CONVERSATIONS

I got stuck with someone on the elevator today, someone higher up, but I didn't have a word to say. I work with her in close proximity and yet I just stared down at my shoes.

I swear I never ever have an idea how to start conversations in weird places. Come to think of it, I don't know how to start conversations in most places !

I know the usual, if you meet a new person, introduction is the norm, but I can't even handle that! If someone comes up to me in a pub, and says, Hey I'm BOB...i'll be like OKAY and that's it, I've just killed the conversation.



The other day I was at the pub with work peeps and I was getting bored, my friend had left and I didn't wanna get drunk as I was supposed to go and attend another party after this. So there I was standing with my glass of Jack & Coke when I turned around to face my colleague who was having a super conversation with someone I had never seen in my life. I poked my nose in, stood around basically till we were introduced, she made some comment about cold hands, I smiled sheepishly. That's it I killed the conversation again!

I have a feeling that I am the official Conversation Killer! Or Non Starter, either way, I suck at making conversations!

I find this absolutely absurd. I tried reasoning with myself that maybe I end up going quiet because I'm outside my comfort zone only to rebuff myself that PUBS are my comfort zone.

Couple of months down the line I was supposed to go for dinner with Mr. Schitt, who suggested we meet at the pub near his work place. Dum dee dum, I went and there with Mr. Schitt were all his work people.

Knowing me from the above comments you'd think I must've blown it. But no no no, let me correct you my precious readers (if there are any!!) I had the most amazing time, which resulted in me not going for dinner in the end, making amazing friends who I've kept in touch and just the other week they came over to my house and we all had a splendid time, well atleast I did.

So I'm really peeved off about not knowing how to talk to the important people. Ever stuck alone in an elevator with the guy/girl you always wanted to talk to, or went to the pub with your boss and could muster only a few nods and "ummms"? Well if not, I salute you lucky sod, because not knowing the right thing to say at the right time, is the bloody story of my life. And I call myself a journalist. Meh

Love Bites!

Love's been doing the rounds in my head for the past couple of weeks.

The word LOVE is used so loosely, and I find it disturbing. Rewind a couple of years when I was a teenager, love was something you gushed about. Now that I'm older I often get confused with the way people use love.

I used to know this girl in school who would go up to the randomest girl in class and say OH I LOVE YOU. Initially, I thought 'How sweet!' until I realised after uttering the I LOVE YOUs the girl would bitch about the same person.

Okay...maybe the cynic in me refuses to accept unconditional love, maybe I haven't been swept into the "wonderful" world of unconditional love. But the fact remains that in todays world you can never be too sure.

Love is a very sensitive word for me. When I do say I love someone, I mean it. I would never use it loosely. If I don't love someone, why the fuck would I say it?



I have had people come up to me and say that they love me and I just stare blankly wondering 'Do you even know me to love me?'

For me, the person who criticizes me is my best friend, the person who compliments me is my enemy.

You don't fall in love overnight, be it a friend or a lover. You need to know the person over time. It can be the most magical feeling if put in the right context. I wish everyone would just sit back and think for once before using it so loosely.

Ummmm I don't have anything to say but I wanna say it nonetheless! It's getting warmer in London and I'm loving it! I hate the cold weather, so I'm glad springs here!
I've not been doing much with myself lately and it kinda gets boring! I'm loving freelancing with Cosmopolitan.co.uk right now, but it's the rest of the boring bit I'm getting terribly sick of.
I kinda regret going home coz I'm sick of staring at the ceiling, staring at the walls.
mygodihopeigetsomefunintomylife! baaaaaaaaaaaaaahh ! I'm happy I need to dance! I need someone to dance with! I need someone to listen to my rants! I need hugs! I need friendly hugs! I miss that !
I need to smoke a ciggie, why? Coz I miss it!
I love being a bad ass! I need to do something wild! I'm trapped........END OFxxxxxxxxxx

I really hate human beings!

I am so fucking pissed off right now, if I owned a motherfucking gun I swear I would've shot around like a mad woman (not at people though!!!)

I am sick of everything ! Yes fine fucking hell I am back to my old depressing self again! I am so angry! Yes, I am a cynic, why because if I don't be one you gonna trample over my dreams and wishes like a fucking elephant would trample a small mouse!

I just hate everything! I don't want to answer to people. I don't wanna live up to other people's expectations of me! I don't need constant nagging and I don't wanna do what I don't wanna do!

If I don't wanna ever work it's my fucking business none of yours. I don't wanna work coz you think I should coz trust me even without work I would do just damn fine!

I don't wanna wait up for people to show up just so that they can leave again! I don't want fake smiles nd fake happiness. I don't need them coz they lead to tears and I goddamn hate tears.

I'm so tired of crying so that you can hear me. But you are so fucking deaf when it comes to me! You all are !

I wanna run away! I don't need responsibility. Let me learn to be responsible for myself then tell me to be responsible for others.


I am so fucking trappped. So claustrophobic in this fucking big world. So lonely in this noisy over populated world.

Just let be me, please !

Commuting by public transport in London can be quite a sport. No, no, not the adventorous kind, but the "watching a boxing match on TV" kind of sport!
When commuting an excruciating long journey to and fro work, Londoners can only do the following few things.
A) Pretend to be utterly engrossed in your book/ newspaper
B) Listen to your iPod etc and have a complete blank look on your face
c) Sleep

I on the other hand am the rude commuter who stares at people nearby, making up stories about their lives. Being observant is one of the things that make me a journalist! And hey, it's a good way to pass time.

On my way to work today I saw a BLINGTARD. (definition: Blingtard- someone who goes OTT with BLING BLING!) I was amazed to see this botoxed woman and being me I started bitching about her clothes in my head. She had so much of bling on, I needed sunglasses to sheild my poor eyes! Gold chains, diamond rings on all fingers, bracelets, studded blingy bag, fur coat, and those darn Faith black boots with studs and diamonds and every shite thing possible!

I'm not bitch and I'm totally into each to their own. Everyone has a right to wear what they want. But never in my life had I thought I would ever see a Real Life BLINGTARD. I wish I had a camera, it was indeed a Kodak moment!

I looked at her, then I looked at me. She stared me down. My badly straightened hair, my chipped red nail varnish, my face looking like someone's punched me. Oh god ! I looked like a complete TART !

Sheesh...what's better a TART or a BLINGTARD? To justify myself, I can only say that it was wahaaayyy too early in the morning for me and I just recently recovered from fever! Meh, even with all that I didn't look like a Blingtard....nyah nyah nyaaa

Also, it looked like Blingtard had colour her blonde hair with a very mean shade of pink, the work of a crack addict I must say.

Eh, maybe she just wanted to be a strawberry blonde. ;)

Happiness for sale!

I have made a decision today. The decision, the oh very important decision is to write HAPPY blogs. Why? Well because I have been told the following in regards to my bloggie:

a) I can't read your blogs because they are too depressing
b) Write a happy blog, depressing blogs don't suit you

Now, let me clear this first and foremost. Although through my bloggie I come across as the depressed emo kid who listens to sad sad sad music all alone in her room, away from the world and who likes to cut her wrist for fun, I am far from that!

Yes, I have the occassional bouts of depression and yes, I do love my company A LOT. But I think cutting wrists is where I draw the line! I don't think that would be a good look for me. ;)




I don't really care to dwell on the fact who I am, but these comments made me feel bad about the emo in me. It also made me dwell on the fact that, I do write happy blogs (see Wanted! Girl!, I like semi Naked Spartans, Daniel Craig, and the general oh I'm happy today posts!!!!). Now that it has been established that I'm not an emo, I'm going to write CHEEK STRETCHING SMILEY, JAW ACHINGLY HAPPY BLOG POSTS!

I don't know how I'm going to go about it but I shall do it just for YOU, so that YOU, Mr. Schitt can read my bloggie :)

Oh cmon who am I kidding? I'm never going to document happy moments coz I'd be out celebrating them silly ! But I'll try none the less ;)

*sigh*

I'm terribly depressed today. It's of those days where everything seems like a cold shade of blue and grey!

Nothing can cheer me up. Unless it's a nice tapenyaki meal at Pan Asian, but I don't think that is going to happen.

I know why I'm so sad. I'm going back to London next week and one part of me is breaking into the tiniest and painful pieces. This is not to say that I don't consider London as my home. London is a place where I'm truly me, the fun, wacko, weird, often childish but overtly aware me. But here, in India, is where I am happy.

I've had a gazillion happy memories in London and I love my independence there, yet I feel so empty and clueless without the noisy Indian lifestyle of mine.

I miss the overcrowded streets, I miss the unbearable heat, I miss the language, I miss the comforts, I miss the chattery friends, I miss the gossip, I miss being lazy, I miss food, I miss the pollution, I miss the few greenery, I miss fighting with cab drivers and bargaining in shops. I miss how if you call a policeman or a ticket collector in my home town, "Bhaiya, paise nahin hain, jaane do na" and you smile sweetly they'll let you off the hook. I miss the ungodly breakfast times, I miss hugs, I miss lying on my mom's lap and forgetting all the worlds worries. I miss how someone is always there for you. I miss family the most. I miss watching stupid Hindi TV with family. I miss the goddamned Bollywood songs that the radios won't stop playing. I miss the witty adverts. I miss a made bed every night. I miss being pampered. I miss that even a small bruise can be a matter of much concern. I miss that plans are made at a whim. I miss unneccesary small talks. I miss the heated debates on politics, I miss people's views on India's future. I miss HOME ! a LOT ! and I will probably never accept this when I'm back in London, but I miss everything about my city, my country. The passionate people, the rowdy people, the know-it-all people, the lazy people, the proud people, the traditional people.

Every single thing about me is from my country. I am proud to be who I am today, if nothing else, I am proud to be Indian. Everytime someone mentions my country, I swell with pride. When the sub-editor at Metro kept telling me about Yuraj Singh's sixers in the match against South Africa, I wanted to stop working and watch the match with my friends and family. When Vijay Mallaya decided to name his new F1 team Force India, I was gloating. Heck, when someone even talks about going to an Indian restaurant I am the expertise choosing the right meal. I argue fiercely about Indian women's sexiness. I quote examples of Indians who've made it big.

I love my country, I love my home.

So, if my life would be a film, it would the depressing/EMO kind with occassional flashes of happiness.

TAAA-DAAAAAA: Kurt Cobain will do his thing for the opening credit, though I wish the song was either Depressed or Lithium. Anyhow this gives a glimpse of how grungy the film would be !
I get up waking up hating women and believe that school is so dreadful I'll probably die there *what a coincidence but so true!* I will fall in love but of course because I got high and then once I get sober I will break up, because "SHE" hates me...wait a min...am I a lesbian in my film who turns straight later, since I'll be singing Baby BOY! OMG!
I would be as witty as my darling Alex Turner which is all good :) my life does sum that up...bwahaahaha *evil laughter!*
As usual when I am driving I would've extra loud music, trying to fit in the suburban lifestyle.
When I look back at my life I will be singing about the woes of a lover! "and I know I should let go...but I can't"
I love the fact that I will be getting married in the Same Jeans,and my kid will be called Delilah. And when I do decide to throw in the towel I will still be swearing like a mad woman !
I'll probably die on the pavement after chasing cars!


LOL, I love this ! And it is so accurate, I didn't change a thing! SO there now, you know me ;)

WANTED: A GIRL !

Smooth king of the world looking for a nice girl who likes Iron Maiden and can roll a good joint. Must be into the 70s music scene ! And should be able to talk rubbish for hours at end. A good sense of humor is neccesary. Should be able to tolerate Bengalis, "aktu mishti bangla bolte pari." The girl should also be able to jive and be passionate about food and be madly in love with whiskey. A British accent is a must!

If you are into cheesy pop, please look away NOW! Should be able to watch sensible movies, no ROM COM shit!




Shameek Chakraboty (pictured above) is an IIM A grad, which means he is a nerd, but a loveable nerd none the less. Will entertain you for hours and hopefully cook good food for you. Will woo you by his guitar skills! First date would probably be in Toto's.

Smokers and dopers please apply.

With kindest wishes for the soon to be happy couple.

Me <3
