Long picture post

My friend called me before my evening class and told me to go home and get ready so that she could pick me up right after class and take me somewhere special. I did as I was told. I put on my party face and went to class. At 5 pm I headed to the parking lot and got into her car, we drove for 10 minutes to a Krogers parking lot and we parked there. We got out and started walking and walking and walking and walking.

We walked until we saw this

And we had arrived. At first we saw CNN and a bunch of other TV anchors, i mean I knew that I looked good but come on gentlemen give a girl some space!

We then proceeded to see the line of people that just kept getting longer and longer and longer by the minute. The people in the long line were the people who had tickets to the event. We were in the rejects line of people who were hoping to catch a glimpse of anything worth catching a glimpse of.

So we sat on the curb and just waited. We waited for 4 fucking hours. We were told to get on our feet at 9pm because they were going to escort us into a room where we would be able to see everything on a projector screen. Now I’m thinking, i didn’t wait in line for 4 fucking hours to see this event on TV, i could have done so from my couch but they took us in groups of 5 into this special room for rejects. We were in this guys group.

We waited for an hour looking at the damned screen and I pretending to be all sophisticated reading my book and playing with my pen.

An hour and a half later they FINALLY said that they were going to let some of us in to see the main event! wo0t! Since we were in the first couple of rows of the reject hall, we were guaranteed in and so we went in and things haven’t started yet and we happened to get good standing spots on the floor too! I wanna escalate the story further with more pictures of things before the main event but sadly the posters will give it away so I’m doing it in reverse. Obama baybee.

The speech was inspirational. The crowd was phenomenal. But we are Kuwaiti’s and we don’t vote in the US so at some point we got side-tracked (not during Obama’s speech though) and started taking pictures of things that were of interest to two young women:celebrity look-a-likes and annoying children.

We were trying to take a picture of the camera-men behind this bastard but he just wouldn’t stop looking. Isn’t it common courtesy not to look into other peoples cameras?

This is my friend with her AWESOME shirt. Then the annoying kid who was annoying the fuck out of us.

All in all, I’m going to have to say that I had a fantabulous time. We left there around 1 am and we walked all the way back to where our car was parked and then got burger king and called it a night.

We took a gajillion other photos but I don’t want to bore you to death with repetitive pictures. Sadly i did not get to touch him or steal his bottle of water even though I wanted to. Blonde bastard who did it before me. I didn’t even get a picture with him, I was practically trampled on by this crowd! I want him to be president now so that I can tell people that I met this guy before he was even president!

In other news, no news from the school I applied to yet. Yarabi ga3da 3ala a7ar min il jammer!

I don’t do drinks

My friend and I decided to drive to a town that’s 2 hours away for the weekend because we were completely bored. We danced, we ate, we met new people and we had an interesting time overall. When we were about to leave, and I wasn’t the one driving, my friend turned onto a one way street going the opposite direction and then she asked me if this was a one-way street and when I told her it was she just turned into a parking lot to reverse. She put her car on reverse and at that exact moment a cop pulled up behind us! So he came and asked her for a license, and THANK GOD we had the GPS already on because we completely overplayed the “I’m an international student who has no idea where I’m going and I have boobies” role! It all worked out in the end and so he just told us to get on our way back home and left us at that. When he pulled back I wanted to take off my heels and wear my flats so I can get comfy in the seat. I got out of the car and opened the backseat to take out my flats when I heard someone yelling. I turned around not-so-frantically and saw someone’s man head out of the window of the building that belonged to the parking lot that we were in.

Head: Hey! Did you guys get busted on selling coke?

Me: Unfortunately.

Head: Why’d you bring the cops to us?

Me: I’m soooorry but (and I proceeded to tell him what happened)

Head: Yeah it’s a one-way street

Me: I’m aware of that now but at least we got out of it without a ticket

Head: Did you flash him?

Me: Course we did! Wouldn’t you?

Head: I usually do but they complain about the hairy chest.

Me: He did that with me too! what are the odds?

Head2 (out of other apartment): Hey who is this?

Head: this is Head, is that Head2?

Head2: Yeah duuuude bla bla (I phased out at this point and said my goodbyes to the heads and got in the car)

Seal (my friend): What the hell?

Me: I need to take a good picture for my blog but your windshield is dirty!

Seal: Umm..actually it’s because you’re not supposed to use the flash

Me (completely dumbfounded): Oh. kay lemme try again

Me: ooooooh sparkley. I want one with a flash so I’m gonna open the window

Me: That didn’t work too well. I’m gonna shut up now.

We and the City

Me: May7iboon banat amreeka
X-Sub1: I heard
Me: They think i7na fissa3
X-Sub1: I heard

Me: Isma Allo
X-Sub1: Aloo?
Me: Allo, a lebanese Aloo
X-Sub1: Allo? Allo Mr. Allo
Me: EE na3am Allo!

X-Sub1: I’m ovulating
Me: ……..

Nutini knew what he was saying

I finished my finals today!

This post is a tribute to two pairs of shoes.

OCD

I know I promised before/after pictures like a month ago but it’s been SO damn hectic. I officially hate my school and this damn town! It’s one big cornfield! So anyway, these are pictures of the apartment I stayed in for the past month BUT I’m moving this week so there’ll be another batch of furniture that I actually bought with my stuff and not this nasty sperm-infected bullshit.

Before:

After:

The final touch:

What do you think? I fixed the entire apartment in less than 2 hours. I applaud myself. Also, next post is about my weekend in Chicago! oi vay that place is sexy!

Happy New Years!

My birthday just ended which is always sad. :-(

How I spent my new years:

Just kidding.. I spent it watching TV all by myself.

Peripheral vision

I’m alone. Abroad. The day before New Years. With absolutely no supervision. In a cool hotel. Downtown. What am I doing?

 

I made phonecalls

I ordered pizza

I ate candy that I snuck in from Kuwait

I unpacked

* Things I didn’t appreciate until today:

1) Peripheral vision

2) The fact that I didn’t carry any of the 3 oversized bags I had with me. God bless gentlemen.

3) OMI. (and the nanny)

I heart Kuwait.

 Update: It isn’t the 31st here yet but the date on this post is the 31st so Happy Birthday to me! BTW, B I love the gift! Very SATC. :-( I miss you guys.

Girls Gone Wild!

Just kidding. Thats P and S after an incredible day. I’ll post about it later though but this is just a teaser. (they didn’t really kiss, don’t get any ideas)

Damien said it best

“We might make out
When nobody’s there
It’s not that we’re scared
It’s just that it’s delicate

We might make love
In some sacred place
The look on your face
Is delicate“

In other news, yet another example of wise parenting in Kuwait:

Yes that’s a girl lying in the back of a car where tissue boxes are supposed to be and the only way you are able to see the car behind you through your rear-view mirror. Yup.

A picture day in my life:

The first thing I saw when I woke up was the ceiling

After I washed up, I checked to see if I had any e-mails

I got dressed

I got in my car and drove to my grandma’s house

The weather was beautiful

This always makes me laugh when I park. It’s right next door

After my grandma’s house, I decide to go out since it was thursday and all. I turn on my iPod and I’m driving all happy and non chalant

Suddenly, I got a flat tire! A typical day in my life. This was my car at the nearest gas station with no tire :-(

It was a VERY long day. No one could figure out how to fix it and the dealership told me that they could pick it up and then fix it on Saturday which is just way too long a wait. Eventually, I called some random person to fit the spare tire in and I got a ‘real’ tire around 9am today. Hopefully by now the driver has fixed my car and it’ll be ready for me by tonight!

(I had more pictures to complete my day, including the pizza I had for dinner, but blogger won’t let me add any more pictures?)

Word of the day: Trencherman. I displayed a trencherman’s appetite last night.
