TGIT

So it's Thank God It's Thursday where I am from! It's the weekend and I couldn't have felt better about it. Today and yesterday were rather hectic at work and I definitely need the time to relax a bit. Am I much of a weird person for my lack of World Cup excitement? I mean, I am happy I am on the same continent and everything, I don't hate the Shakira song, and all that, but I am just not...excited per se.

Anyway, so back to it being the weekend - I feel lonely sometimes, and it hit me hard yesterday, it hit me so hard and I cried in the shower, I don't know how hard I cried, but it felt bad. I realized that there is no special person to listen to all sorts of nonsense I have to say (which is most of the time) or tolerate my constant nagging and complaining when I am having a bad day. And then came my good friend (who I was complaining to, as usual) and told me that he listens. He made me smile. Thank you for always being there.

It was my cousin's birthday on Tuesday (the one who called to tell me he loves me). He turned 22 and will be as old as I am until I turn 23 in August. Turning 23, in itself, is a bit freaky...since it brings back Jim Carrey's the number 23.

Being my random self, I have to mention one last thing: I took a nap today when I came home, and woke up in the worst mood ever! Belonging to a noisy house didn't help much, so I had to get out of there. So I passed by my other cousin's house, and we go grap coffee and park the car and read GMH stories in the car. End result: two girls with smiles on their faces!

Things I am thankful for today: Great friends, my cousins and my blackberry, oh and my dad and I arguing about subsidies and macroeconomics AS USUAL! (my dad is an anaesthetist)

On having a good day

Today my cousin called me to tell me that he loves me. He made my day honestly.

I am surrounded by beautiful peopl- at work, my family and my friends (blogger friends included!). I am thankful and grateful!

Yesterday, my best friend and I had those heart-shaped shades on, she had a pink pair on, and I had a purple pair- that made me giggle. And it was fun!

I think it's our refusal to grow up that keeps us fun? I mean, the capability and ability to have fun tends to diminish as you grow older, or so I thought...and maybe still think.

I took a nap wishing so hard for something to happen, and guess what? I woke up to it happening!
That, too, made my day!

I don't know why but blogger wouldn't let me add any more photos to this post, and I am a bit sleepy to be persistant..Do you have any questions for me? And have you checked my tumblr?

I feel like I need inspiration this week, and so, I have decided not to go to work tomorrow and actually enjoy the day, and be out in the sun. And have coffee while not being in a rush. And actually have a proper breakfast!

Wessam

This handsome boy here is my really good friend Wessam. Wessam left to London and I wasn't able to see him before he left...

I miss you Wessam!

I hope you are doing okay and that London is not too gloomy. I don't know if you're homesick, but I (and everyone, I guess) here am/is Wessam sick :)

Send Wessam some love and better yet, contact him if you're in London. Oh and dear Miss Walrus, call me! (I changed my number)

On Loneliness

I am entirely dedicated to the long road today, since my boss is not here! It's the weekend! I can't be any happier- in fact, I have to thank this week for passing by so quickly.

So the bb service is being naughty...I hate it, since it's the only way I can keep myself busy. And because I am at that point when I really need attention. I honestly and entirely need uhmm..male attention. Nothing in specific, just a random how are you, or how have you been. Just the "are you okay?" in passing...And no, I am not one who would misinterpret that kind of thing...

I just want to know that people out there in the world still care.
That friends are still friends as I know them.

True and honest and caring.

I just need to know that the world still is a great place, with butterflies and sunshine and the random cotton candy cloud..

I am not desperate for attention, I just need a hug. A friendly, warm, caring hug!

"And the warmth inside their eyes would synchronize into a love you've never known" - Regina, I love you!

Lonliness, much?

...

Sometimes I feel like a nerd. Or a geek. Or something of that sort.
When I want to go to Paris for Shakespeare and Co. and to Purtugal for the Royal Purtugese Reading Room...what does that make me?

Anyway, I have been away and I owe you an explanation- I guess...or maybe I just want to vent. I need to.
Something and someone and a cornerstone of my life...a huge someone/something is no longer there....for the past three years...gone. Poof!

I did it and for that, I am the one who has to deal with it- I am keeping to myself, I guess you can guess what happened but oh well!

On a much brighter note, I am very excited for my cousin who is getting married on the 22nd, my boss who is getting married in two days!! And that the summer is here- despite the sandstorm outside...and regardless of the political instability that's taking the world by a storm...(I also have a cold!)

It's not really my week this week...and I feel like it's me against the world type of thing. And it's sad.
