30.5.10

public letters

Been avoiding personal posts. . . 


Beach, and parks, and BBQ's and patios, are in my friends' vocabularies and strictly (painfully) erased from mine. The reason being that I'm taking my last three undergraduate courses and it 'aint easy.
I also deleted my facebook, and deleted friends and more-than-friends who were counter-productive or just mean(-ingless), from my life. My mom called it a detox. She's right, I hadn't even noticed the pattern until now.
I feel weird when I go on personal tangents online. The overuse of "I" and the seemingly trivial disclosure of my personal habits or observations in a very internal context and through this medium, is some what strange. But I feel both embarrassingly exposed and comfortably naked . . .



Oh, here's a secret: I always hated the letter T, which is a problem when your name starts with it. I just didn't like the shape. Both in Farsi (and in English, it seemed like a lonely, unstable, disjointed letter...not as sexy as an S, and not as convincing as a K. 
Recently however, I realized that it's a more than fine letter if on its own: you can't call your friend A (ai), or R (aarh), or M (emm). It just doesn't sound right. But you can call me T (tee). You see? it's perfect.
