Cute guy's competition dave the barbarian

So my fellow readers (if you exist somewhere on this over crowded planet).. I would like to add an entry of 'THE JACOB' of mandy's story...we all know that if there was no jacob, stefanie meyers story would have pretty much ended on twilight, so even though twilight sucks (or so i think)that sums up the importance of Jacob. However, i am proud to say that our CG (yes, we have suspected of him being Edward) has a competition. But all of you who know CG will also know what he probably thinks of us. i mean with all the 'GLOVE forgetting' *cough* and 'name asking as a part of a dare' *double cough*, you seriously can't blame the guy. So anyway for the curtain opening of our Jacob, lets call him Dave (no, he is not a part time wolf). there was this cartoon that used to come up on Disney channel called "Dave the barbarian" which i used to watch when i was young "ahem" and the guy's name was Dave and, oh sorry back to the story. so Dave is a so called friend of Mandy's.. well as Mandy says.. but what would you make of a guy who asks a girl to show him uxbridge (the most boring place in London probably).. they once got called 'the lovely couple' at nandos.. now we all know how that would sound..
Only recently I have uncovered that Mandy attended Dave's birthday which included only close friends well, only Mandy and some other girl. (may be Dave doesn't have any friends)..Mandy actually timed how long it takes Dave to eat, any normal person would find that creepy and would avoid Mandy at all costs.. but Dave dear found it rather cute..
what more proof do you need apart from endless texting.. and meetings and god knows what else.. But Amanda still denies any such news.. the heart wants what the heart wants.. in this case Edwardo.( this is a typo but sounds so much better) CG.. who don't even know how madly in love.. ahem enough said.. One can only hope...
I leave you to decide what lies beneath but until then, to that black magic called love,

' If you have love in your life, it can make up for great many things that you lack. If you don't have it then no matter what else there is, its never enough'

You call it madness but I call it love

The exceptionally worst days..

I GUESS NO ONE IS AN EXCEPTION TO A BAD DAY... not even the chirpy lakes.. well atleast one of them.. the nicer one, now that's weird. I guess its the time of the year when God decides to give a hard time to the good people (well that's all that he mostly does, but still)
Well this time its me, emily. I do not understand what I did to make HIM mad this time (excuse my language but i have ran out of my 'niceness' quota for today).. so here is why today was a bad bad day..

It started as a normal day, woke up 10 minutes late after my alarm went off.. had breakfast ..you know the drill.. anyway.. first I forgot my purse home so I had to come back from half way to the station to get it. Took the central line.. and then struck tragedy.. it stopped one stop before my intended station (Liverpool street).. guess what.. the age old problem.. yep you guessed right.. there was a person under a train.. wow.. that's something new ( its sarcasm of course but you cant see me to understand that) well... they cut off the power supply and close as much of the central line as possible.. i was then advised to take the bus, geez thanks for that... !!! felt like the whole London was on the bus stop. I missed 3 buses and finally got on to the 4th one!
now the bus was a place of mixed emotions.. mostly different shades of anger.. the bus driver fed up of people trying to get in the bus and the passengers .. well can you blame them.. ??? I gave up my seat for this really old man ( i hadn't ran out of my 'niceness' quota by then).. he started adoring me to the point where he offered me to sit on his lap... I couldn't bring my self to be blamed if any of his bones were to break, so i politely said no.. but he wasn't going to give up.. talked to me as long as he didn't get off....
I finally got off.. lost somewhere.. I don't even remember how I got to the station..and after much walking in circles finally got to the tube..
Got to university.. and then boom....!!!!!!! my coursework wouldn't open... i did everything but cry.. and for that i give myself a pat on the back.. no need to go in details.. it was urmm.. a lot of.. hopelessness... breath holding by the lakes.. running aimlessly and well.. you know the drill...!!
After having our much deserved Starbucks.. the lakes left for their homes.. and guess what ladies and gentlemen... delays on metropolitan line because of a person under the train...
and it was deja vu all over again...
we had some interesting bits as well.. but it wouldn't fit into this tragedous essay of events... so i will leave it until next time...
But lalita and I learnt an important lesson about life from a platform today.. you see light at the end of the platform.. now the superficial meaning of this is that, this 'shiny' end is not covered by a roof so there is light there.. but a more deeper meaning is that there is always a day after a dreary night. we walked to that 'lighted' end but it wasn't as bright as we expected ... and that means my fellow dreamers that everything is not going to be how you expected it...
So don't moan when you have an average day... because you know it can be worse, and it will be for some of us.. hey, some light is better than nothing...

This is my innocent depiction of the horrors of my day. I hope you get the gist of it. its horrible, I know

My true love....

Now as mentioned previously by Emily, I (Amanda) am in love with this so called "CG" and know everything about him... well i just wanted to clear the air with this matter .. and as you will soon find.. I am not the obsessed lover after all!

Now.. first a bit of background on this guy:

CG is a very good looking guy and studies psychology with us .. hence the name CG is an abbreviation for "cute guy" ... But he has a problem.. he is always late to every lecture or workshop and this is how we started to notice him (I mean if a guy repetitively comes in late to every lecture you have over and over again for 6 months you would have to be pretty blind not to notice that) .. Anyway the first day he came in I thought "wow! okay he's cute" and I started talking about this with Poppy .. the second time we had the same workshop... we both came in late and he held the door open for me .. which was very sweet. Thats it! He's a good looking guy in our Psychology class and thats as far its ever gotten or is going to go

You may now be wondering why Emily said I know everything about CG.. well .. this is how that story unfolds:

Emily was sitting by herself in a lecture... and CG happened to walk in and sit next to her. Lalita and I were in the Library trying to cope with our deadline... as mentioned in the profile.. we are lastminute.com ... anyway Emily decided to text me and give me the good news.. as a joke - Lalita and I told her to ask his name.. the crazy emily did do this! freaked him out because he thought emily was trying to flirt with him! haha!

So yes - I know his name thanks to Emily

I also know he has long nails? (I just think he forgot to cut them like any normal person) but Emms told me this too!

I now know his last name - thanks to kathleen and the evil one actually copying it down on a paper in secret during their seminar and giving it to me

I know which country he belongs too - this Poppy told me as she was in the same group as him for an experiment and asked.

I now know he is not doing a placement (part of our degree program) because he didnt show up to the placement meeting. Or maybe he was late? :P

Ah and he likes wearing hats and looks nice with medium -short hair .. this was through my observations! :D

I also know what road this guy lives on and also that he is not registered with the doctor at university - how? through a lecturer.. during a psychological study .. which he also took part in .. we went out for a brain scan (lol - okay that sounds like we are crazy.. it was a study to do with emotion.. we are mentally fine :P ) and at the end the lecturer wanted to ask about our medical doctor and wala! this information came out

So as you can see.. any imformation i hold of him.. is due to the other Lake members or randomly.. so my question: Who is really obsessed? The answer: L, K and E ! i didnt ask for any of this!

So I admit this guy is very good looking .. Lalita agrees too! and I have a little girly crush - but he is good looking.. im sure most of the girl readers of this blog (and some guys) will agree! but by no means do I play a role of a stalker

Ah! yes .. the Lake's called me a stalker because i once went to get my GLOVES! as i thought i left them in the lecture room and i happened to walk our with CG.... but they still dont believe me. You believe me right?

So this my friends.. is the story of CG .. As you can see the Lke's have a unhealthy obsession with him and not I

And then some more :P

Its only fair if you know everything.. and everthing there is to know.. see this is not the first attempt to share the madness with the world. We did try writing first.. but that was too much of a hassle ( you should know by now that we believe in doing as little as possible).. and so all the 'events' were being passed without being entered in the book.
The lakes also believe in always doing something, so even in the most boring lectures we try to do something (if not listening). we pass notes, discuss people and ofcourse we try to make sense of the lecture ( we aren't that bad). so below is a text from one of the memorable efforts to make sense of a lecture
Bonferroni, a stats term, a test.. too difficult for our kathleen to remember. so thats her way of making sense of it
Bonferroni: it sounds like a cross between a bonfire and pepperoni !

another lecturer of ours, lets call her win lilliam :) once said ' remember you work by giving them headings.' so our kathleen started giving headings to the topics like, red jeans, blue jeans and ..(some pg18 stuff). and then she asked a very intriguing question, by which i was amazed because it actually required some thinking. 'what if we remember the headings but not what comes under it, would she give us an A for describing jeans???? !!! '

p.s .. the evil one's status says : 'i have evil plans' what do you say to that !! its so tempting

Until next time ... :)
keep smiling because it gives hope for a better tommorow.. ok thats too deep!!

The last few days.

Hello fellow bloggers!

This is Amanda speaking and I would like to tell you whats been happening over the past few days.

I and the other Lake's apologise now if any of this startles, scares or creeps any of you but I promise to keep this as sane as I possible can.

The Lake's have exams and a bunch of deadlines coming up.. we have a lab report due in on Friday and then about a week later we have Exams. (Oh and if it has not already been mentioned.. The Lake's are Psychology undergraduate students.. so I guess that explains part of our insanity, I'd like to blame genes for the rest) As you can imagin .. being the oh so motivated people we are we have spent most of our time in the library (whether we actually did some work or not .. well.. we didnt so .. thats that) Whilst studying with Kathleen we had a very .. interesting conversation which involved us shouting words as "gay moment" "chicken" "cats" and "ahhh" outloud... It didn't go down so well with the other students

Lalita also had a very interesting moment where her phone (blackberry) tried to run away from her. After leaving the library after a very hard day of work.. Lalita had left her phone on the table.. She got on he bus and headed home.. Thankfully a very nice person phoned Kathleen and explained that theres a blackberry on the table... Lalita realised this about 30 minutes later and obviously had a heart attack.. but she realised we had it and calmed down!

I will leave you with this:
Walk into a library and see no book, what do you make of that?

A strange hello

"normal" work day at library
Hi, I would just like to say that this is a totally new experience for all of us (writing a blog) and can tell you that we are all extremely excited. (I would also like to add a quick appology now for any spelling errors that are in my texts as i cannot spell to save my life! I have to ask my younger sister if i get into a bit of a mess..oh the shame!) Anyway, from what my fellow LAKE's have already writtten you may think that I (apparently the crazziest one?? - Kathleen) may be a bit on the loopy side, but i can tell you now that that is not (strictly) true. Ok i admit that i may have my 'moment's' and that i can on some occasions be classed as a bit scatty and strange but what my fellow LAKES do not tell you is that they are equally insane :D I may start a strange topic but they more often than not, continue the conversation into more extreme and disturbing matters. I could make a terribly long list of all the disturbing and totally random conversations we have had, but that may could take a while, as they have been a surprisingly large number of them!! However, me and the rest of the LAKE team shall do our best to write down as many as we can remember and all future ones (this is an absolute certainty...our minds work in mysterious ways, not to mention alarming :D ).
I will go and make notes with my 3 other chummies and try to make a list of all our wacky convos.

I will leave you with this thought...'the universe' forever expanding (into nothingness?) with an infinite number of parallell universes....

The birth of the Lake

Fellow readers, I (Amanda) am really sorry but you must forgive us.. there are four of us after all and it becomes difficult to restrain our excitement .. sadly..
As you have already been introduced to the Lake's .. i thought this would be a good post to tell you how the Lake's met and become friends.
It all started on the 21st of September 2009, enrolment day! this was the first (and not forgettable) day at University where young adults are set free to venture into the word alone and discover their path in life .. (okay this is sounding like something you hear in the movies... cutting to the chase..) The Lake's however were not this adventurous, brave, daring or bold and therefore we decided to stay put! A sweet place we call home..
Lalita and Kathleen were the first two to meet and become friends! Apparently.. legend has it ... both the girls came in early and were clueless about where to go and what to do.. they saw each other and thought "why not" .. and have stuck by each others side since
My first encounter was with Kathleen and Lalita and this no doubt was an awkward one. I met them for a very brief period of time (5 minutes? Maximum :P) and none of us spoke to each other. Our meeting was initiated by another very good friend .. I'm not sure if she'd like us to mention her name on the internet for thousands of people to read.. but lets call her... Poppy!
I didnt see Poppy much after the first day ... It wasnt till about two or three days later when Poppy invited me to go have lunch with her.. that i grew very found of them... Kathleen didnt come so it was Poppy, Lalita and I and the beautiful ball of friendship started rolling... during the two hours I was with them I descovered some very interesting facts about them and they did too about me (I hope.. haha :D )
The following day I tagged along with Poppy and Lalita.. but it wasnt till the end of the day... after dropping Lalita off to her bus stop and Poppy getting a lift home that Kathleen and I became friends.. after realising just how crazy both of us could get :D
Emily joined our group about a month after and she was introduced by a friend... lets name her Cim! This was when we did a project on occupational psychology... believe me - its more boring that it sounds! My first impression of emily was a rather good one! haha.. i thought she was a rather sane and nice girl.. but oh boy was i going to stand corrected! shes equally crazy as us! but during the long month of our project ... We all became the Lake's!
And hopefully will remain the Lake's for a long and insanely peaceful life!

The Evil One...


Another post in the same day, but you must forgive us dear readers (if we ever get any). You see, we are four very unique individuals, each with our own thoughts and feelings on topics ranging from coffee to people to movies, and we all want our say. Also, having a blog is just kind of exciting, so now it’s my turn to dish the dirt. I am the L in Lake, the beginning of it all- Lalita. Hello everybody!

As Emily was so kind to introduce us all with that wonderful post, I feel it only fair to extend her the same courtesy; after all, we are in this together (never leave a LAKE behind), and she shares my thoughts about the ‘Evil One’ (who will be discussed in more detail later). For now though, it’s all about Emily. Where to begin?

The ‘E’ of Lake, she completes us all, and occasionally helps me to complete my work by the deadline too. Emily is the organised one out of the four Lakes; if there is a deadline, she usually has the work finished a week in advance, while the rest of us rush in early to try and pull something together. But as many times as this has happened (and believe me, it’s been many, many times!) she never gets angry or loses patience with us, so thank you! She loves Glee (why????) but also shares my love of Harry Potter, so she can sort of be forgiven for the former transgression. She carries about a million bags with her everyday- she says it’s for books and umbrellas, I say it’s to hide all the goodies she finds in Superdrug (her obsession).

LOVES (with all her heart): Superdrug, Boots and anywhere else that sells toiletries and cosmetics
HATES (I, too, had to mention it): The Evil One

Most importantly, Emily and I are united by our...dislike, shall we say, for the person we have now dubbed the ‘Evil One’. Over the top perhaps, but 'The moany and slightly annoying one' just doesn't have the same ring to it. With this blog, and with our general madness on a day to day basis, we are hoping to create a legacy; but every legend must have an arch nemesis and the Evil One is ours. For some very obvious reasons we can’t tell you the Evil One's name, but I think the Evil One should suffice for our purposes. The E.O. is truly the Lex Luthor to our Superman (although far less powerful and infinitely whinier) or the Wilhemina to our Betty; think irritating x 10 and you've probably got the idea. As the blog grows I'm sure you will be hearing more about the E.O., but for now I'll leave it at that.

I think that’s all I have to say for now, I hope I’ve fulfilled my duty to Emily’s (wonderful) standards, so until next time


Lalita xxx

P.S. here is a picture of the evil one that I drew, there are alot of similarities, I might have made her nicer actually

The extremely summarised introduction :)

So this is it every one, here we go on this insane journey of our less-than-perfect lives, but trust me less than perfect completely works for us.. by the way, by me i mean THE 'E' OF THE LAKE, the one that completes every one, THE 'EMILY', ofcourse the secret identity has been disguised because here we will be discussing quite dangerous things (ofcourse no threat to national security, so please refrain from calling the authorities, government or medical).. us the lakes each specialise in a different feild of ...urmm... er.. lifee.. you could say..

The 'L' of LAKE, Lalita, she is equally important as she 'starts' us.. an optimist.. for us.. for herself an extreme passimist. Both end extreme and annoying but we love her. The one who gets her adrenaline boost from submitting work 5 seconds before deadline. Hates the reality of her age (so please never ask that question) even though she is not that much older than us .. but still.. loves shopping, hate work.. who doesnt. Oh yeah, and the most important thing about her is that she shares the same comments on the evil 1 as i do, but she is the nicer one (in this case ofcourse)
LOVES: Shopping

The 'A' of Lake, Amanda or as i call her Mandy. She'll do anything for a fellow lake. She is the computer genius or so they say! she is also my fellow Gleek.. (by that i mean she watches glee), only one she has got a bigger crush on than edward cullen is CG (we call it more like love..) now CG stands for a cute guy that shall remain unnamed in our stories (even though i have asked his name).. she will tell you every thing you need to know, want to know or wished never knew about our CG.
Loves: COFFEE

The 'K' of Lake, Kathleen. the weirdest one of all.. but also my sister more like soul sister since we look nothing alike. even though i am the most sane one , I too cannot hold on to sanity when around her. She has genres of stories no one would have heard before and I come second to her with illegible hand writing.
Loves: not having to walk
Hates (i had to mention): anything with milk, yes including milk shake

And finally me, well it would not be fair to write about my self so i will let one of my fellow lakes to discuss me when they enlighten you with their texts... well one thing i can say because i will not deny is that i always threaten to kill when I am angry..(ofcourse i will never do it because i am the nice one) and i am always ready to kill the evil one.

EDIT :Now lets talk about Emms ... and like she's already said, she is the "E" in Lake.. the one that completes us (oh and this is Mandy) Emms is a goody goody but also the brave one in the group who is slowly and "innocently" influencing us to be more like her .. note the quotes on innocent :P She and Lalita have an unhealthy obsession with the evil one and yes as you have already guessed.. they named her that :P Emms also likes strange and gory things... just imagine you are going for an eye operation, what will be going through your mind "eww, crap my eye.. omg" something along the lines of that.. Emms thinking is "omg do you think they will let me see it while the operation is in progress?!" So that my friends.. is Emms
Loves: Anything scary and gory

now i feel that you should know who the evil one actually is, so i'll ask 'L' to tell you all about it..
until then .. takecaree.. and embrace lifee... we obviously are trying

From the one who completes them
Em xx
