~*~ In loving memory of Meesh. yes I'm hob-coverless ~*~ I can't remember what book I read where someone had asked a Saudi woman how she felt about women in her country being unable to drive, and she said "We don't want to drive.. in Saudi, every woman is treated like a princess and has a driver." How's that for positive thinking ..
Well as I shoveled snow off of and around my damn car at a cold 8 am, I thought GODMANIT I don't waaant to drive.. I want my driver and I want to be treated like a faint-of-heart-useless-can't-possibly-be-trusted-to-take-on-a-wheel princess... Then I slipped and fell and that sealed the deal. I wonder where maktab al isti8dam is around here..
~*~ As students flocked to the library the weekend before finals, they were greated by a scrawny guy promoting Jesus, and then a group of masseuses ready to massage their stress away courtesy of our ever caring university. After a wonderful massage from a nice and not too bad on the eye fellow and all that dala3 I figured I might as well study afterall heh..
~*~ 2 hours into my cram shift, this girl just raaandomly plopped down in front of me. I smiled and chucked it to pre-final oddity... next thing I know she passes out on her book and I'm beyond amused.
Odd thing is the next day she sat with me again despite the abundance of empty tables.. when did this grow into a relationship is what I want to know.. can a girl get a dinner and a movie at least!
~*~ Then there's the fashion sense.. forget that it's below freezing, girls will risk hypothermia to sport the latest in boot and miniskirt ware.. that my friends is bravey and sacrifice for a decent cause.. here here!
~*~ Happy hour is all the rage during these times .. as I'm stressing over 100 pages of notes, an acquaintance yells "HEYYYY LETS GOOOO HAPPPPYYY HOUR!". Mind you it must have been about 5 in the afternoon. They don't call it "happy" for nothing..
~*~ Lunch hour rolls around, and I decided to take the back stairs to get some blood flowing, as I head to grab a nutritious purchase from the vending machine. Halfway down, my poor virginal ears were accosted by unholy sounds, I leaned over the bannister and sure enough.. two blondies were going at it full throttle. Upon closer inspection (damn curiosity) I found it was non other than the Jesus boy previously encountered. Now, is that what Jesus would've done?
~*~ Finally after over 12 hours of studying at the library, I'm dragging my scorched brain towards the parking lot when a Mercedes screeches in front of me with abominable music blaring and boys yelling my name.. Confused, I squint and find the boys from the homeland.. "AHLAAAAAAIN!! WAIN IL NAAAAS".
