Wasabi

* Here's the deal, I'm still playing around with the template and I'm still not satisfied.
All I know is that I want somethin green!


* The other day my little sister told me that she ordered some take out from Sakura, one of our domestic helpers had a spoonful of WASABI thinking it was AVOCADO. She really had nothin else to say, that was our conversation.


* In two days I'll be eating my BBQ'd truffles. (My attempt to make fagi3 mashwy sound oh-luxurious). I honestly don't care for those who diss my fagi3 so - sharap!


* I don't really know when the season for 'crabs' is. All I know is a platter of crab for lunch would be fantabulous. I only eat male crabs tho, the females come with extra baggage.


* Whenever I'm in a potential car flipping scenario I always take note of the song thats on. That way I know what soundtrack will be played in the afterlife. I shouldn't have said that- but guess what I just did.


* Why do Egyptians say "Happy Birrzzzdddaay!" No DisrespeK but its Birthday please get it right.


* I admit this is a hideous post. The real reason I'm writing anythin is because I wana figure out how to change the font and color of unedited text from the template.


* What song starts with " From Jamaicaa to the world!" First person to answer correctly will get to choose the post they wanna bring back.


* Again confession: Since I'm obsessed with colors -all my posts are edited with bright colors and it just so happens that none of them are legible on the new template. So this way I get to a competitive thing goin on and I satisfy all the whiners who complained about me "hiding" the older posts. And most importantly I'll feel obliged to re-edit the colors of one post. Does this even make sense? Well it does to me- so figure it out.




*Thats all folks!

Kissy Kissy!




8 years old
I enjoyed family gatherings. I just found the first 5-10 minutes slightly uncomfortable. I'd go round and round do the whole kissy kissy scene, get my cheeks pinched, a spontaneous squeeze on my tummy and and sometimes a pat on the back.

I started disliking the beginnings, cuz now you have your distant cousins doing the whole 3 kissy thing when you only expect two But no no no they have to drag you back for a third
*mwah* on cheek number 2.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT TO ME!

It got more complicated. Why? Because amongst conservative relatives they actually take great interest in how you handle yourself. Meaning, do you know which men you're not supposed to
*mwah* *mwah*?? Correct Answer: NO! So what I used to do is go around and *mwah* *mwah* just about everyone there. Moments later I get a 20 minute lecture on how I lack decent etiquette and an evil look is shot to my mother by the lady with the pointing finger.

Lebanon
Over there you're supposed to
*mwah* *mwah* everyone- only now its *mwah* *mwah* *mwah*!. Mind you this is different from the ever so annoying double *mwah* on the same cheek. In this one its: right cheek, left cheek back to right cheek.

----------------

Today

I have learned my lesson and now find the beginnings amusing. Technique: I extend my hand and try to keep a straight face. If you lean in I'll *mwah* you right back. If not you're missing out on some cheek action with the jan6a . If you happen to be a triple *mwah* kinda chick I expect you to give me a heads up, maybe a nudge?


Note: its *mwah* cuz there's no actual kisisng going on, its just cheek to cheek action avec sound effects.


*Snogadelic!

Normal

Apparently I've been tagged by Laialy, I basically have to list my 'weird' habits. First of allI I'm not sure how many were asked for so I'm just gonna type away. Second of all, there is no second of all.


* I have 4 different clocks in my living room all set to different time zones- makes my life easier. My biological clock would perfectly match a middle schooler in Chicago.


* If i'm stuck with only one pillow in a hotel I'd place it on top of my head. As a child my mother always thought that one day I'd suffocate myself to death.


* Cartoons on T.V irritate me. As a kid I used to watch one Disney movie per year. Lately this hasn't been the case, after my sisters pleas to watch The Incredibles and Madagascar I bought the dvds and after 10 minutes in I couldn't take it anymore. Messed up my mood for the next hour or so.


* After getting out of the shower I wear my socks first then work my way up. Make sense?


* I politely spit out anythin I can't chew properly. I don't spit it out thluurp I tactifully pretend I'm wiping my nose and spit it out in the napkin. Once while I was planning the napkin trick my father nudged my sister to see me planning my next move. They found it hilarious, I never did it again in their presnce.


* When eating afandi (tangerines) I peel of the outer skin, then separate the indivual pieces, trim the top part with my teeth and flap the skin which I call wings. So basically I just eat the insides. You'd be glad to hear that I only eat tangerines at home.


* When drinking Diet Pepsi I empty the can into an empty water bottle of Sohat. It tastes better.


* When it comes to numbers I am a stress induced dyslexic. Basically if you tell me to save your number and it was 99685327 I'd save it 99863572.


* I also see numbers as colors. A friend once pointed out that this was a rare condition, it had a name- forgot it now so boohoo. I was relieved that other people shared this 'gift' ?


* When I go to the toilet to do my business or even shower I leave the door wide open, I honestly don't care who might see me as long as I don't feel suffocated.


* When I'm stuck in traffic I find the sum of the plate numbers around me. The sum of the number is what I refer to the car and driver: "Raqam 17 shfeek mashy 3ala baith- 7arik baba 7arik!"


* Upon passing a yellow light I quickly kiss my hand and touch the roof top. Upon passing a red light I let out an evil laugh. 5 minutes later I feel guilty for the mukhalafa my father will deal with.


* After a BIG meal loud music makes me nauseous. Blukh.


* I have a lead dot on my right palm, when I was about 7 I accidently poked my self with a pencil (the ridiculous ones where you could simply change the top by placing it on the top and a new head would push itself out). The dot is still there, my siblings used to think that I apply the dot with a pen every morning- their proof: 'it was on the other hand last time!'. Dumbasses what can I say.


* Whenever I watch aerobics or any strenuous exercise on TV I feel that by watchin I'm working out as well. Not only that, after watchin I feel that I deserve a good meal.


* I'm scared shitless of cats and lizards, even the tiny ones. Cockroaches although spelled funny don't intimidate me one bit- I'm everyones big hero/murderer when the roaches are in the neighbourhood. So who you gonna call? - Cock-Busters!
Sorry I couldn't resist.



* I hate hot baths and steam rooms, I end up fainting from all steam. Out door jacuzzis on the other hand I like, but won't get in with anyone I don't like. I think people I don't like have more germs and therefore will only end up contaminating the water I'm in.



I think I did this tag all wrong, but oh well. I'm tagging myself because this isn't the end of the list. Current time in Chicago: 10:32pm = Bedtime.



*Liga7!
