Hello there Mrs. S

Isn’t it strange? The way things can change
The life that you lead, turned on its head
 
It’s hard, adjusting. There are moments you want to hide in the bathroom and cry for your mommy but then someone knocks and asks you if everything’s ok. You say “yeah, out in a minute” and wish you were back [...]

0. Lift off

Didn’t expect me to be online today, didja?
That’s a hundred bucks (read dollars) for me, courtesy Absar. Yeay, shopping!
So November 6th is actually here. And I STILL can’t type at all. Mehndi and these extremely annoying nails make typing harder than clipping grass with tweezers on a football green.
I’ve realized long hair and nails are [...]

Hmm.
Where do I begin?
Bilal
This is Bilal.

This is how he looks like all the time. His expression never changes. It’s freaky.
Bilal’s my cousin. I’ve spent 23 years of my life being either annoyed, ignored, or verbally assaulted by him. I’m pretty sure he has a crush on me.
Bilal’s also  scary lazy. His idea of a good [...]

24- Dear God, the freaking out has started!

Let me tell you how I feel.
I haven’t written any stream of consciousness post for a long time. I think I’ll give it a try right now. I’m in that place in time where all I want to do is get it all out. Take emotional laxatives… just release. I wonder why potty is such [...]

My mother and I are- different.
She’s a social phenomenon. I’m a bit verbal-accident prone.
She drives like a maniac- Nascar should be glad to have her. I drive. And that’s a big deal. Really.
She spends her days in a whirlwind of energy doing good deeds and completing the leftover tasks of others. I spend my days [...]

November 6th 2005 I fell in love. Truly, madly, deeply for the first time. It was new, and it was secret…or so I thought. Before a month was over though, he, and all his friends knew about it.
On October 5th 2007, I lost my mind. And my self respect. Luckily nobody read my blog then.
On [...]

I crave hot tea.
Life’s gotten to the point that I make myself a perfect cup of steaming tea, sit down to drink it, then remember I have fifteen odd things to do, the tension of which is causing this deep craving for a beverage I know I don’t have time to drink. Logic would dictate [...]

Bitch-ari

I feel gossipy.
A ‘friend’ just got married recently and I felt that, for old time’s sake, and to make sure she’s successfully out of our lives, I should attend. Also it provided me a chance to meet up with a few people I actually did care about, and not have to pay extravagantly for the [...]

Leechy Me

I am wasting away.
If there was any way I could get a job without having to give a single job interview, I’d go for it; even if it involved hanging a whiteboard around my neck with the words “hire me!” I hate job interviews. I suck at them. There’s a thin line between being confident [...]

To tell or not to tell Triple S

I have been eating insanely since this morning. There is now no longer a Dunkin Donuts box filled with Boston Cremes on my dining table, and little trace remains of the chocolate mousse cake my mother in law brought with her when she delivered the jora. I am fast becoming a hog- bichara Triple S [...]
