I am off to London for 16 days. Therefore, I may be silent over here. I somehow have been for a while now. I went from posting every 2 days for over 2 months back to posting once every week now. It's like I drained myself out over here for the previous months and all of a sudden, allow me to borrow this statement, I have nothing to say.
For those of you who are patriotic and loyal to Lebanon, I apologize in advance. This post is in no means intended to directly hurt you or undermine your faith in Lebanon. It's just me being the insane confused angry woman I am venting my feelings on my own blog. I'll probably regret this some day... and this day could be near.
----------------------------------------------
You're exempt from this if:
a- you're not Lebanese, or
b- you're a Lebanese who
i- tries not to be racist,
ii- tries to be civilized,
iii- tries to respect certain laws (i.e.traffic)
iv- tries to revolt against the status quo of matters in this country,
v- tries not to cheer for any of the political clowns out there, and
5 days ago...
him: hey you
me: hi dear [sigh of exhaustion]
him: how're you feeling today?
me: oh the stomach ache is gone but... argh, too busy, too much work... you?
him: oh same thing.
me: but I've still been going to the gym almost daily. It's been like this since early June :) [I'm proud]
him: wow very good girl. I called to wish you a happy birthday by the way.
me: hahahaha...
him: what's so funny?
me: oh you're sweet. Thanks but you know today isn't my birthday, right? It was yesterday.
him: oh!
me: but no it doesn't matter; thanks a lot.
him: well, then happy bela...
me: my friend's cousin died yesterday.
him: oh...
me: yeah... brain cancer and she was 26.
LOL. If John McCain, being the Republicans' presidential nominee, is the creme de la creme of the Republican Party, then I wonder about the rest of the Republicans.
On a similar note, I have something to let off my angry chest:
to hell with you and your conservative anti-gay anti-abortion anti-evolution (makes more sense to me than the adam&eve story) bible-thumping(ever had a Korean American evangelist for a flatmate?) republican party. The same goes to your equivalents in the Middle East and everywhere else in the world.
October 25, 2007.
A year back I was at the pub down the road from my house in London. I was sitting by the window drawing invisible letters and watching cars drive by. And outside the pub to the left was a couple arguing. I wondered what little petty topic would have them stop in the middle of some street on a biting cold October night just to argue. Couldn't it wait? And I became jealous. I wanted passion that wouldn't wait... on anything.
