“To whoever cast Kristen Stewart in Twilight…. couldn’t you have found someone...”
– Le Moi M.L.S (via mylife-reblogged)
I Seriously had attempted to give her the benefit of the doubt you know? Watch other stuff for her, just in case she wasn’t really that bad in real life, and it was all about twilight. However, I had seen her in ‘The Messengers’, ‘In the...

Bizarre things in Egypt 5
The other day, as any day I go to university in really, I got on the bus and contemplated what I could do to make this upcoming hour pass quickly. I sat down - a window seat since I can’t miss the view of the Nile on my way - and checked if there was something to read in my bag. As I couldn’t find anything, I decided blasting music into my ears and looking out the window was my best...

Series Frenzy
So, I started my holiday almost two weeks ago, and well pretty much love it so far! I mean sure, my methods of celebrating it might seem rather peculiar than the norm, but they’re my methods. Egypt is undertaking a lot of issues these days, so I’d rather stay home and be safe than leave the house not sure what will be happening next.
Many have inquired on why the heck I am not going...

Bizarre things in Egypt 4
I’ve wanted to update this for quite some time, but sadly I couldn’t get photos and I wanted photos to prove it! Finally, as I was returning home from an exam I managed to take a photo, but the windows were unclear so these are the best shots I could take, anyhow what it’s actually about:
So, there’s this restaurant I always cross on my way home from university that ALWAYS...

2011, with my hat I salute thee...
…. that is a hat filled with gunshot holes.
Thanks for being the longest year of my life, though technically years can’t be longer than one another - unless there’s a leap year in there or whatnot. But I mean, it went on soooo slowly, and so much has happened in it that I can barely keep track!
1- It started off with an explosion, which I am not speaking figuratively about, the...

Sure, let's serve the stereotypes!
Sadly, I’ve been out of TV Shows to watch, so for some reason I found out about ‘Community’ and decided why the hell not? Thing is I’ve been so sick of the drama, like the extra kind of drama, the one where you just want to kill yourself to get the show with, that kind of drama. So I gave up on both 90210 and Gossip Girl. If I am to watch something with drama, it might as...

Hey!
It’s been a while, I know that! I’d even intended to update more often, start writing more and all. Sadly, things have gone a bit awry in Cairo. If you read the news you’d know that things have reached some sort of deja vu level right now with the mess in Tahrir Square.
I haven’t been to university for a week due to those developments. My parents are in Kuwait so they keep...

Day 8 - Favorite Internet Friend
Dear Aliaa,
Well I must say you are my best friend on the internet. I Love talking to you.
Your creative and interesting and I Love how your open and opinionated :) I’m normally
very afraid of talking to people on the internet but you were different. You are
one of those people who I feel I can just talk to, it doesn’t matter about what, or...

What I dislike about myself....
…is my inability to focus! As I mentioned before surely, I have the attention span of a gold fish! I can sometimes lose track of what I am saying in a sentence and more often than not end up opening more than one topic without completing one. It’s actually an adventure talking to me, I realized most people don’t complain about it - for some unapparent reason - maybe they enjoy my...

Wisdom with a cup of tea.
I have this notebook where I basically wrote anything I thought entailed wisdom or inspiration or great advice for the future. I got stuff for it from e-mails I received or things I read online. I also found poems and humorous quotes and such, so I wrote them in there too.
I had forgotten all about it really. I mean, it’s not like it was stashed away somewhere, it was in the bookshelf next...

Somebody kill the birds...
…outside my window!
Seriously, it’s 3 am and I can’t go back to sleep because they’re all chirpy for God knows what reason. I mean, what the hell can they be chirpy about at this time of the morning? I am not the least bit chirpy!
Oh, do you guys know when singers hold a syllable in a word to go with a tune or something? Or basically just hold it to see how far they can...

Wow An update!
I know it’s been a while since I actually had anything written here, quite sad really. I did have at least three ‘Bizarre Things in Egypt’ articles in mind, I can’t remember right now though! Hopefully I’ll write them as soon as I can. If I remember them.
So, I spent all morning listening to different Italian Radio stations - yes, I thought it was about time for me...

"Solipsism" (short story) - Part 4
It’s been almost five months since she last came here and agreed to be dismissed out of hand by one of her dad’s personal assistants; five very long months where she fought and clawed her way into her dad’s life. She was impressed by the amount of determination her brother Ron himself showed in this. Before he would have minded his dad’s dismissal, felt hurt, and never came back. But now, no...

Je suis en retrard...
Yes, I know it’s taking me FOREVER to write the last part of my story but I will honestly do that as soon as is possible!
I had to travel back to Cairo, I have a lot of unpacking to do, postcards and letters to mail, and well an actual book to write that I am too busy for.
Of course it’s not helping that my knee has been acting up because of the plane and stairs I had to take, and...

If my love life was from songs...
[I had this posted on facebook like two years ago as a note. I had heard ‘Lucy’ on the bus and thought: hey, this could have easily been me you know? Then I was thinking, why not think of all the songs that way? For all the songs mentioned are ones I completely love no matter what!]
I would like my love life to go on as ‘I swear- John Montgomery’, by a guy that makes me feel like...

"Solipsism" (short story) - Part 3
“What do you think he has doc?” Riley asked; the first to break the silence.
Simon hadn’t even noticed Henry sitting there. He’d talked only when a question was directed at him. Otherwise he seemed a bit detached, that is, after shocking everyone with his announcement. There was something very wrong, nothing made sense. they’d known their dad was depressed and had become a recluse. That’s...

"Solipsism" (short story) - Part 2
“This is absolutely ridiculous – not to mention useless,” Ron said as he stood uncomfortably in front of his childhood home.
“Ron, we have to know what he has, to be able to help him. And since I am one hundred percent sure he will never agree to go to a psychiatrist, we brought Doctor Henry along. You’ll try to figure it out won’t you doctor?” Riley looked at Henry hopefully.
“I will try my best,...

"Solipsism" (short story) - Part 1
Riley took a seat at the kitchen table with a groan as her housekeeper – more of her dad’s housekeeper – handed her a drink.
“So what’s the verdict?” Marianne, the housekeeper, asked as she sat down next to Riley.
“Indisposed,” Riley replied taking a sip from her coffee.
Marianne chuckled at that and drank from her cup.
“I kind of like this one, he has a more enhanced vocabulary than the others,”...

KNEE
I have absolutely no clue what the heck is wrong with me BUT COME ON! It’s been over a MONTH and yet my knee still hurts!
For all of you fellows unfamiliar with the -sordid- story, I tripped, like over a month ago, and my knee hit this rock, but it wasn’t anything serious, and so I kept walking and went to a meeting, the stairs were a bit tricky but come on, I was also fasting for it...

Get them writing wheels spinning...
Me being well… me, decided I needed a new challenge. I mean COME ON , how else would it be me if I did not require a new challenge? Challenging oneself is an annoying habit of mines…
Anyway, I haven’t written anything in a while, neither here nor in my stories, so I decided I really need to get back in the game, this wasn’t working for me. It’s not that I am lacking...

Because Jim's logic is inarguable.
Jim: Cheryl, what are you doing here? I thought you were coming home tomorrow night.
Cheryl: Yeah, I called Kyle to see how things were going. He lied for about 30 seconds, then he cracked like an egg.
Jim: 30 seconds? You are not my son!
Kyle: I know, you just sold me to uncle Andy
Cheryl: What? You sold our son?
Jim: Oh, come on, it’s not as bad as it sounds. Really, I mean, Andy...

A ride to politics...
I could lie and say that I HAD to wake up early today for a meeting, but the truth is, sadly, I am one of those rare people who have decided to wake up at 7 am and sleep around 2 am everyday, which is super early for someone on holiday in Ramadan.
So the meeting was around 10:30, sadly traffic made me late for that, it wasn’t my fault honestly! I was all dressed and on my way since 10 and...

Bizarre things in Egypt 3
There are lots of thieves in Cairo, but come on, there are thieves EVERYWHERE especially in big cities. There are thugs, there are pickpockets and well muggers. I’ve heard my share of stories in all sorts of ways friends of mine or relatives were robbed, one including someone actually breaking into the house…
However, we have to hand it to Egyptian muggers, who are by far the most...
