Discombobulation

I'm fat on the inside...

About Me


Discombobulation --
[noun]:
A deadly strain of projectile vomit
We rolled into 2007 with about 15,000 others in L.A.... quality.
I'm Farida. Nice to meet you.
I may look grumpy but really it's just my "normal face".
I'm not really grumpy.
On most days.
..
(from the day at my 7th birthday party when a girl called Calypso blew out my cake candles, the "moody, sullen expression", the one we all know and have learnt to love, was adopted, right up to this very day)
I'm half Pakistani.
I'm also a quarter Thai.
And a quarter Chinese.
That doesn't make me complicated... Or does it?
I have a cat called Ginko, who dribbles when he's being extensively stroked.
He has no balls... is there some freakish weird connection??
Hopefully, doubtful.
Dorothy.
My Car.
She allows my laziness to flourish...
I have amazing friends.
They put up with my constant moaning.
Which is why I love them so much.
I have a short attention span.
Potential ADD I reckon.
Or maybe that's just a lame excuse?
I tend to pull faces to replace words.
Some are uglier than others.
A lot of the times I don't even realise I'm doing it.
I've now finished my Art and Design Foundation at Chelsea.
It's been like a love/hate experience.
I do kinda miss it...
I'm going travelling in June to India/Nepal/Vietnam/Cambodia/Thailand.
For about 12 weeks.
It's definitely going to be a major life-changing experience and I CANNOT WAIT!!
In September, I embark on an adventure at The Glasgow School of Art.
By that, I mean a 7 year long degree in Architecture.
Pure unadultered commitment!
I love music.
A lot.
If only I could dance to it.
I love to eat. Lots.
Really, I'm fat on the inside.
Japanese food is GENIOUS.
Summertime is the best time of the year.
It's warm and I don't have to wear millions of layers and get wet.
Summer '06 has been the best summer. Period.
I like to drink coffee.
But I also love my tea.
Darjeeling please. 1 and 1/2 sugars. And just a smidgen of non-fat milk.
I love to shop, a lot.
I have a tendancy to "need" expensive, overpriced things.
I often buy things that I wouldn't really wear but think I would at the time.
I like things that sparkle.
And expensive things.
And shoes.
Tokyo is incredible.
It must be one of the most amazing places I've been to.
I WILL go to Peru one day and find Paddington Bear and his family.
Arrogant people annoy me.
So do "scene" kids and extroverted chavs.
And perverts.
I'm definitely too trusting.
Maybe even slightly naive.
But that's probably because I believe in giving people more than one chance.
Milk is a bit gross.
Except small amounts in cereal.
And tea/coffee.
I hate people telling me what to do.
The likeliness I'll do something, if forced, is slim to none.
I work best when on my own accord.
I prefer people to message me first rather than randomly adding me to boost their "friends" list.
Unless I know them.
Or have met them.
