<p>Quasi, you would. Way to flaunt your future-ness status. Seriously.</p>
<p>Happy Holidays, everyone! =]</p>
<p>DC: :p</p>
<p>Soooooooo, everybody. What’s your favorite color/movie/book/food, and what’s it like where you live?</p>
<p>^Lame, but for some reason I’m going to oblige.</p>
<p>Color: Purple (not just saying that)
Movie: Avatar (still fresh from the woah-ness) & Brokeback Mountain (yes, it does appeal to straight guys too)
Book: Can’t really identify one but I guess stuff by Jhumpa Lahiri and Jonathan Safran Foer would come out tops.
Food: Okay, I believe this post has a character limit so I’ll avoid this question. :P</p>
<p>Heyyyy how is it lame? I’m just initiating conversation. I don’t want this thread to die! Thanks a lot for ‘obliging’. </p>
<p>I’d love to see Avatar sometime soon. And I approve of your last answer.</p>
<p>^Avatar was amazing. And this is coming from someone who usually hates science fiction.</p>
<p>Color: Blue… I could totally get used to the purple though (ironically, a lot of schools I’m applying to this year are purple)
Movie: haven’t been to see anything lately except New Moon… which was a less than pleasant experience. I’ve always loved Metropolis though.
Book: @srrinath: OMG, I just finished reading The Namesake… I can safely say that Jhumpa Lhahiri is amongst my favorite authors as well. Any other suggestions?
Food: don’t have one? Surprising since I’m actually pretty hungry right now.</p>
<p>Have you read the rest of Jhumpa Lahiri’s books? I liked Unaccustomed Earth.</p>
<p>Hahaha New Moon. The only part worth watching is the part where Jacob turns into a wolf.</p>
<p>Yay, done with my essay =) For all the days agonizing over a topic, it only took like 30 mins to write lol.
I did the literature prompt but I kinda took it in the opposite direction…hope it works :3</p>
<p>@QuasiProfound: OMG, I love Unaccustomed Earth! The narratives were so subtle, so rich with detail (as Lahiri always is). As an immigrant Indian myself, I can relate especially well to Lahiri’s pieces. </p>
<p>@lyc0r1s: Have you read Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist?</p>
<p>FINALLY finished this essay. Went 150ish words over, but really I’m in no mood to cut that down. I’ve finally gotten it to a form that I’m proud of after a week of battling this thing. Besides, they’re not going to disqualify me over a fourth of a page.</p>
<p>I believe I exceeded the limit too. Anyway, would you even want to attend a school that would disqualify you over a petty half page?</p>
<p>That’s a good point. If they are that petty, I guess we’ll both find out.</p>
<p>Hey all! I just realized a week ago that Amherst is my #1 and should have gone with ED. =/ sigh.</p>
<p>@Kiterunner18: I still wish I applied ED. But alas, certainly not the case. :(</p>
<p>srrinath: I LOVE Jonathan Safran Foer!!</p>
<p>Color: Purple [Can certainly get used to seeing this color for the next four years ;)]
Movie: Too many to list. Anything with guns, cars, fight scenes, horror…I’m all over the place. Of recent flicks, the only one I can think of would have to be the Hangover. I really wanna see Avatar though. 
Book: To Kill a Mockingbird, anything by Tom Robbins and Jonathan Safran Foer…Kite Runner was pretty snazzy too.
Food: I like ethnic foods…Well, anything yummy would pretty much do the trick.</p>
<p>@ miss_mud3r - don’t you wish you could go back in time? :(</p>
<p>Guess I’ll join in on the fun. . .
Color - Blue/Purple
Movie - 21

<p>I am not at all a fan of 21 kiterunner18 haha.</p>
<p>Color - Blue
Movie - Fight Club
Book - The Great Book of Amber/The Great Gatsby
Food- Pizza sounds pretty good right about now</p>
<p>Haha yeah, Kiterunner…very much so. But then I guess I’ll leave it up to fate to decide. I mean, if Amherst doesn’t work out…I’ll cry (haha) but then I’ll get over it because I mean, it just means it wasn’t meant to happen. But the color purple is niceee. 
Haha</p>
<p>Yeahhh!! The Great Gatsby was a great book!</p>
<p>Color: green
Movie: Pirates of the Caribbean :3
Book: ugh hard ._. three way tie between People of the Book, The Book Thief and Alias Grace

<p>I’m surprised no one mentioned Dan Brown. I have tons of friends who are crazy about his stuff.</p>
<p>Color: Green
Movie: So so many. I’ll say Gladiator.
Book: hard to say as well. I’d be lying if I didn’t say Harry Potter, but besides that I’ve always loved 1984 and Lord of the Flies.
Food: Depends what I’m in the mood for. Safe to say I love all types of pasta though.</p>
