So, school's out, and all of the sudden we're halfway done with college. o_O
But, the good news is that summer is here! =D As a result, there may or may not be more updates to this page. And when I say more updates, I mean everything but the Random Aim Quotes, since those are updated quite often, whether I add something to the main page or not. =P
For now, check out the people page. Due to popular request, I have added more, well, people. Enjoy. =P
Supa 19! - Raman 4.17.02 11:00PM
About a year ago today (which is actually not too far down this same page =P) I made a huge dedication to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, which was just my way of saying thank you.
Again, they went all out for me (it's a different set of people than before, but all my friends are gold, I'm tellin' ya!), and this time I'm going to entertain you with a variety of birthday quotes that made my day brighter than ever:

Simran (on phone) - "Happy Birthday! Didn't think I'd forget did you? Smile and be happy!"
[OK so I was on AIM with an away message, my cell was off and not getting reception anyway, and Simran calls me to tell me both. Then she tells me Happy Birthday on the phone and checks up on me for a couple of minutes (I mean, it WAS long distance from Missouri(!)). The AIM message she left says "turn your phone on," and when I check my voicemail later there she is again, with more happy thoughts for me. Love ya Sim! =)]

Tony + Random people (in person) - "Happy Birthday!"
[So Tony TsickytsickyTSAO, being the pimpsta he is, is sitting at Terrace with 3 girls and 2 guys that I have never met and probably never will again, but within five minutes we're like buddies. Thanks TSAO, you better come out with us this weekend instead of studying! =P
Jon, Anthony, Amar, Vishal, Dhara - Sang(!) Happy Birthday at Wheeler
[So we're waiting in line to see the Murd3r 8y Numb3r8s (which was way crappy so don't waste your time) screener, and the guys (plus Dhara) decide to sing happy birthday in the hallway. Jon even attempted to get some apathetic people in line to sing with them, but they were probably suffering from pre-bad-movie depression or something. Anyways, it was really cool you guys, thanks for making up for that HORRIBLE movie. =P]
Evening Excitement
Simran's Mom (on phone) - "Happy Birthday beta!"
[Got this one on the voicemail too (damn Cingular). Thanks Auntie!]
Cara & Mahesh (again) (In person) - "Happy Birthday!"
[So Mahesh drove all the way over to our place in his way cool Laser (see, I said it's cool! =P). It was great cause they finally got to visit, and also cause they got to stay for the ensuing craziness (see below). Thanks guys!]
THE PARTY CREW
Asha, Nisha, Amy, Chinmayi - The friendly distraction
Yaamini, Neela, Sachan - Bringin' in the cake =)
[OK this needs some explanation. So I'm chillin' with Cara and Mahesh, enjoying the fact that a couple friends came by to say wassup, when Asha, Nisha, Amy, and Chinmayi waltz in, saying Happy Birthday and under the pretense that they were being Soda Warriors yet again. As we chatted and whatnot, Vishal goes outside, but I don't pay it much attention. I see people out there, so I was thinking "oh he's just talking to whoever." Then I see some light, and I'm like "hey, are those candles? Must be someone else's birthday too!" And Asha of course backs me up, saying "yea they can't be for you." All of the sudden, Yaamini, Neela, Sachan, and Vishal come bustin' in singing, and everyone else around them joins in, and there's this incredibly choclate-y looking cake with all these candles on it. I was like WOW. =) For real tho. So we chilled and had cake and took pictures, and they even brought me stuff to make "special" drinks with, minus the "special," and a Harry Potter wand with lightning shaped candy inside! (Haha Kosha =P) All in all it was VERY dope and put the cap on a great day. Thanks so much guys, I'll never forget the good times we've had (and are yet to have)! =)]
