This is the secret girl my relatives sent my way, even though my mom has apparently found my soulmate already. I looked at her Friendster/Facebook profiles, and she seems all right. She has pretty mainstream tastes, but you never know whether that's because that's just what she likes or whether she hasn't been off the mainstream enough to find the good stuff. I'm trying to train my brain to just think of it as "meeting a new person, and a new Indian person at that." Otherwise I just won't be able to function properly and I'll be stupid and awkward.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Wait so your realtives went behind your mom's back to find you a girl?

No, they know this girl's parents, and they were looking for an "educated" boy for their daughter, so my name came up, and since she's local, it'd be easy for me to actually get to know her. They know how drama-tastic my family is, though, so they let me decide whether I wanted to meet her rather than passing her name along to them.

I hope she's cool.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I kinda like this as a strategy. Go, Sunil's extended family. Also, Go, Sunil's open attitude.

I hope she turns out to be a girl you enjoy being with, at least, Sunil.
The backstory, Laga, is that P-C's Indian family is determined to arrange a wife for him from women meeting specific requirements. PC, with more American sensibilities, is looking for a woman who loves Veronica Mars. P-C is also a nice guy who doesn't want to disappoint his mother. It's a monumental culture clash.
(I'm just trying to sum up the situation. I don't take it lightly.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
good luck P-C
this is the 4th day of a revolving door headache. I think it is getting better, but by such tiny degrees I can't tell.

Yeah, at the very least, I can steal all her Indian friends and please my dad.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Put this way, it sounds almost Jane Austen-ish (but with Veronica Mars). Good luck, hon!
