saturday night, the stars were shining bright...

i'm copy/pasting an email i sent to one of my angel's, s.g. this morning. i'm sorry, but i dont have the time to type a proper blog entry just now:

today was one of those mornings when one feels too comfortable to get out of bed. the pillow was super soft, the comforter was comfy and i felt beautiful. :)
last night came home around 2.45am.

but wait, let me start from the begining:

had an english paper. took it. finished it before time. went downstairs and got chai from the karachi university cafetaria. was drinking chai when three guys walk towards me laughing and pointing their finger towards me. i look up and i see its three of my old school mates that i hadn't met up with in almost 2 years! we had a great time talking and catching up and making fun of each other. i forgot how comforting it is to be around people who've known u since... pre-puberty. theres a home-ly feeling to it :)

came home. got dressed. was supposed to meet up with distant family/rocker/biker/vJ/ friend at another friend's centre (where gumby will be starting his drum lessons again soon). went and since i hadn't met with any of the people at the centre for like umm 6 months or so, everyone got a half hug (the takaluf waali) but the rocker friend got a big, full one (i was meeting him after a whole year, and technically,he's family so he qualifies for a complete hug). the ARY van was coming to pick him up for an eid concert recording. on my way out, i bumped into gumby (who i'm also properly interacting with after a year, saw him last at the noorie launch six months ago)... and i kinda missed him a lot. so in 5 minutes (faraz, the rocker friend) was pulling me towards the van coz he wanted me to come along, i said hi, half-hugged and told him not to disappear again. everytime, i meet people after a long time, i forget all the bad things that ever happened and am just, so glad at meeting them.

met a new vj/model from the music (please watch out for her, her name is rabia) who was also going towards the production site. amazingly nice and really funny. picked up natasha (another vj), saw her last 6 months ago. met up with omar amanullah (met him last 6 months ago). was backstage most of the time taking care of bags, shawls and purses. lots of performers came but i didn't really talk to them or go upto them coz i didn't know some of them. the ones i did know, i talked my ass off. got amazing career advise from aaroh's bass-ist (who i have met several times, but never had a porper conversation with) and i was happy to know he's a college graduate and is currently brand manager for bmw. i'm proud of people like those. out of the people i didnt know, surprisingly, haroon was very polite and gentlemanly. did nothing. was just very courteous. he goes down in my list of favorite celebs. the ones jiss kay liye meray dil say dua nikalti hai :)
i had a great time talking to the new female vj, faraz would come back now and than and we'd catch up, natasha took dancing lessons from the backstage dancers (they were so organised and hardworking it wasn't even funny, and i loved the respect they showed her). in a long time, i felt completely at ease and was glad to be around... real people. i dont know why i went through that anti social phase. but i came home, relaxed. more relaxed than i've been in a long time :)

dad texted at 12 saying cinderalla's time was up and she should come home.
he texted again saying my max time was 1.15am or i shouldnt come home. ever.
i texted him saying i'll try but i doubted everything would finish by than, and that he should remember i am his daughter and i love him.
he texted saying "no blackmailing".
i texted mum and said i was worried.
mum replied saying the big bad wolf (daddy) has gone to bed and she's sleeping in the living room and that i should call her when i come home coz "he" sleeps with his eyes and ears open. and that i should relax and have a good time.

i love mum.
*sniff*
i love both my parents. at moments like these, they're soo cute.
and i love mum coz she understands.
i love dad coz i know if i make him understand, he will.
so it was good.

now i have to go help clean the house.
its a sunday and i'm the bari ladki!
