In the morning, baby in the afternoon :)
Funny how my favorite shirt
Smells more like you than me
Bitter traces left behind
Stains no one can see
It's from Norah Jones' "In the morning".. Norah Jones & Souad Massi are a common luv for Karembu and I..
Anyway, so i really like these lines, they really ring true.. you would think no one would use such an example, even tho we all relate to it (or not neccessarily really ;) but you know what i mean).. Funny thing is, i found a comment online about the song whose writer said she thought the song was about smoking... And when i read the lyrics again with that image in mind, it actually made perfect sense!!!
What else? hmmmm.... Good mood.. and am determined to keep it at least for a while.. we'll see how it goes....
more updates later through the day :)

First of all, at laaaaaast i have a sound card in my machine :)) probably someone here had pity on me carrying my MP3/CD player around all the time...

and now the day's events took a turn for the worse...
i dont feel like talking now.... maybe later...
and i dont even know why am posting this.

It's a full moon, make a wish..
... and Karim would say "It's not a full moon.. and it already has a wish" (meaning here a "face")
i stopped making wishes on full moons when i found out that, more often than not, they come true.. and that -again more often than not- i hate them coming true...
Karembu in his blog says all sorts of weird stuff about me... he also claims he included me in his "Favorite Girls" photo album before that album got busted and stopped working... i didnt know he had a set of favorite girls.....
Actually.. hmmmm... let's see... if Karim had a set of fave girls, the list would include:

- Kate Beckinsale (The Aviator, Pearl Harbor, Van Helsing... but hey, I would luv her too!)
- Famke Janssen (GoldenEye, Don't Say a Word, X-men, Hide and Seek)
and ME :)

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.
I think am getting to be:
a) addicted to blogging (even tho i never was a diary girl)
b) hopelessly romantic!!!!!! (in other words "mesa7lela")
Yesterday i had to go to uni to sit with a couple of girls solve some questions.. anyway, on my way back i go to Korba, go to Cilantro.. initial plan was "get a hot chocolate with whipped cream" and leave... Then as i order the mocha tart and am about to ask for the hot chocolate, the song i started my blog with starts to play.. i get the feeling that it's raining outside.. (i know it's not.. but the way the song goes keda....) So i decide, no hot chocolate... it will only put me more in the "mood"..... the "mood" in question is the "You've Got Mail" mood, when you feel you're so awfully hmmmm longing for something/someone, not a _certain_ someone, but the 'dream' of someone.. It's like you're already in luv, but with a phantom.. (Karim, you'd probably know what am talking about...)
It's not like i have such high standards... but i dont know... it's just like that.....
I want to cut it short here...
Am not in a bad mood... just a nostalgia for a past i didnt have and all.... and the memory of the "glow" you get when you think of someone..
ouch! i _am_ mesa7lela!!

Stardust
Many changes taking place on the personal level... i think i'm growing up at last (yes, so it's whenever am depressed i just say am growing up :))
One thing i really hate, when i'm talking to someone about what i feel and why i feel it, and he/she says "i understand" (it's usually a he actually!).. no you dont understand so dont pretend to.. let me speak it out even if you understand.. it's like you're telling a story and someone keeps trying to guess the ending.. you feel like "will you let me finish the damn thing?" :))
hmmm.. enough about that... sometimes ba2a when am real low and in the "can only go up from here" mood, i sms this friend of mine (name withheld for political reasons).. just like on Valentine's when i remembered certain promises... it's weird how sometimes you just can talk to someone without them needing to know anything about you before.. so i tell him about my Valentine depressions, about a person who said i imagined stuff :) and he promises me to kick his ass :) and it's cool.... next day i get a very nice belated birthday gift.. a mini-basket, a bracelet, and a wheat thingie (i forgot its name, but i remember it related to corn not wheat weirdly enough).. i cherish gifts like that.. the wheat thingie was chipped from the bottom (and was chipped again while i took it) and its imperfection made me cherish it even more... of course, this is all in a "sisterly" fashion (we made this word up!)
hmmmm.... Maybe we _really_ were siblings before!
w eih kaman.... hmmmm i think i have a committment phobia... but i think the reason it doesn't show is that i never get to the point where it should show.. it always ends before that with me holding on to it.. this is a long issue, and it's not for public access anyway :)
One day you’ll meet a stranger
And all the noise is silenced in the room
You’ll feel that you're close to some mystery
In the moonlight and everything shatters
You feel as if you’ve known her all your life
The world’s oldest lesson in history
Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing do I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing’s end

p.s. yes yes nothing is related to each other here, but it's cool.

Karim (my one and only fan) he wants an update... what can i give him???
hmmmmm...
Let's start by last Wednesday, i went to Osiris Choir concert in AUC.. I went with Samurai, Karim's friend... cool guy, except that he was endlessly jealous at the kind of relation i seem to share with Yum (Yum is YumYum is Karim is Karembu is Bu, altho sometimes BuBu refers to me).. Many people fail actually to understand this relation.. As a matter of fact, am not even sure we understand it :) Anyway so Samer was shocked because Karim sent him an sms before we met and he found out that i already told Karim we're meeting.. And he's like "on average, how many times do you guys sms?!" Then when we were taking the programs, i took one extra "for Karim".. the thing is, he thought i was joking :)))
After the concert i had a good walk/talk with a friend of mine who had sort of upset me earlier thru the day with a comment about my mood.. i dont wanna talk more about this....
Thursday, i went to a meeting in Zamalek wiz my boss.. i actually had no idea what kind of talk we'd maintain on the way.. felt to me like one loooooong meeting.. fortunately, we talked about anything but work.. After the meeting, he dropped in Diwan. I ran into some girl i havent seen for quite sometime and i realized i actually missed her so we arranged to work out somsin soon...
Afterwards (i hope by now ur bored to Death ya Karim, and YES i do capitalize Death ;)), so afterwards i go to Johnny Carinos Nile City for a late lunch with a friend (and in case you're wondering its the same friend i had the walk/talk with the day before). I have a swell time and we play a lot and talk a lot and all goes well.. i go home and have a quiet evening..
Friday, nothing.
Saturday, i went to a "Cairo Walk" with PTP (ptp is the thing i told many ppl abt.. its the thing that makes these book discussions and art presentations and what have you).. we visit many mosques in Islamic Cairo.. its a group of 35-40... one single person annoyed me but she did so for very personal reasons :)) After the walk, the guys decide to go to 7ussein but Nevine and i go to Chilis for lunch.... we dont even finish off half our plates! but it was a nice chance to sit and talk uninterrupted for a while.. hmmmm... what else... afterwards i go do a quick errand and then i meet up with Du & a work friend of hers in Cilantro... cool guy, we hit it off real quick sharing views about Du :) which teased her and initiated the "collect yourself" routine ;)
Nothing much later... Yesterday (Sunday) I managed to talk to Karim... he works on the same project that Yaser (a friend of us here) works on, so they almost _daily_ have conference calls!! yesterday i just knew they were on the phone, so i went up and stood like a stranded cat in the rain with this "miaow" look i have, until Yaser gave me the phone...
Anyway, i need to go work now... one last note, in Karembu's latest blog, i discovered that he is a sadistic character.. he is "the man who watched the bump" (like the man who sold the world keda but much cooler :))
Cheers!
