I have updated my site and fixed some CSS issues today. I have been doing some house cleaning and checking out other successful bloggers and how they keep their blog alive. So I added an interesting FAQ page with many crazy questions and answers, updated my About Me page, and I got everything lovely and tidy!

I decided I will not be changing my template this Christmas break because I am going to be super busy with another project I want to launch by the new year. I will still keep my blog extra active and will try to come up with different approaches to writings especially when it comes to cultural issues.

The problem with cultural issues that someone out there will decide I have written something offensive and will start attacking me and then calling me closed minded for not agreeing with them. Typical visitor reaction. The problem with the blogsphere that people don’t realize that my site has 100’s of reader a day. I have the common 10 - 15 commenters a day that participate, but my reader base is huge. I am trying to figure out the number of RSS readers compared to actual visitors.

I am trying my best to be more broad in my articles and not try to be very biased or have one view of one particular subject matter. I don’t really want to focus about the fact I am an Arab. There are a lot more important things to discuss and I want to do that and it will cause a lot less controversy and problems because I hate fighting and wasting my time responding to closed minded arguments.

You visitors. Yes you, the person who is reading this! Let me ask you this questions. Why should I agree with you all time? You don’t agree with me so I simply will not agree with you. Is there another compromise?

I got to work this morning with a sticky note on my laptop saying, “Enjoy.” I opened my laptop lid up and I saw a mass of sticky notes! FUNNY! Really funny! Did you do it so I can dedicate my love and this post to you, you little geeks!

The reason this was done because I did the same yesterday on my co-worker’s monitors. However, I only did it on the edges of the monitor. Not on the screen it self so it won’t be STICKY. And I used flower shaped sticky notes and I wrote “You Suck!!!” Hehehe.. I love my job because I work with crazy people!

I am not that active of a member of twitter.com, but I try my best to update my status. I like it because it is simple, very powerful, and can update all your social networking statuses and blog on the fly. And you don’t have to be using a computer, SMS works amazingly with it! I support twitter because it is a fun way to interact with people and see what they are up to. It’s one of those clever mediums of social interactions on the internet. I wish I can force my self to be more active than I am, but I thought, what the heck, let me advertise it and let my readers join in the fun. I find it very intriguing.

Twitter is funny, and the more people you network with, the funnier the status messages get. I love reading about some anonymous person who lives thousands of miles from me writing a simple line of what they are doing. They also advertise awesome sites and on the flash live events of things they experience and see in their life. Personal perception of things is a lot more truthful and insightful than biased media. Support twitter, and if you are bored and want some amusement then check out twittervision.com and see how the use of Google world map really comes in handy. Pure genius and funny really. So if you have twitter, add me so we can form a clique. I think it is fun being part of this one liner community!

I am insane. Ok.. this is what I did today.. hmm.. My sister and I wanted to go to the gym, but she is always complaining about how her shoes hurt her. So I got tired of her whining and I went to my dad and said, “Dad, give me your bank card, I need to buy shoes for Maria.”

My dad said, “take it and buy your self shoes too… buy anything you want. The card is yours.”

(yes.. I don’t have a normal family.. they know I work and still want me to spend their money because I am a child to them..  )

Ok whatever. So I got her one nice pair of running shoes and another normal walking shoes for 50% off. So I used my dad’s card for that. Then my sister dragged me to the electronic game store and said, “I want to play PS3 please!” I said, “fine whatever..”

The PS3 was taken by other kids and I was checking out PC game prices such as the new UT3 which is almost 50 bucks and other new releases. Then I kept eying the Nintendo DS. I always wanted one. I went to the sales girl and said, “how much is it?” She said, “$139 brand new.” I said, “hmm, and used?” She said, “we got two used ones in the store for 109 dollars.” I said, “great.. and I want Zelda, Phanton Hourglass, you got a used one too? I got the discount card on used games.” She said, “yes, we got one.” I said, “cool.. give me both!!!!!!”

Muwauauahahhaa.. I am insanoooooooo.. I got Nintendo DS and a game.. now I got something to play with before going to bed and on the bus..

I am such a geek and I really know how to spend money spontaneously.. Oh my.. no wonder I need to keep a job.. I am an impulsive buyer! Come shop with me. I am obsessed with electronic stuff.. I never go to huge electronic stores. Bad bad.. I was seriously considering buying a laptop for no reason although I have one.. :S Why am I obsessed with electronics… ??

**drooling over electronics**

I am the social bookmarking and RSS obsessor of the obsessees. I have a very organized collection of RSS feeds and social bookmark sites. Oh by the way, for those who use RSS to view my site, please change your RSS link to my site to my feedburner account.. I am using feedburner now. I haven’t completely switched to it, but I am in the process of changing my site to something better. Anyways, I am always on Digg and Stumbleupon. I am an active member and I am always up to date with the world. I am also very observant of the “top Diggs” and popular stumbles and I noticed this peculiar thing. The top most rated blog posts or articles are the ones that have top 5 of “whatever.” Or 5 most amazing pictures of sky scrapers or houses or trees. Is this what you people want to see? You take someone’s opinion about top 5 or 10 of whatever and you think it is the final opinion and written on stone? “This blogger is so cool. He posted the top 5 hits of what he thinks. That means it must be true.” Get a grip people! I am sick of it! I want to read blog posts and articles that are interesting. I am sick of those top or most popular things of the day. Who cares!!

Click on image above to view Top whatever from Digg.com

It’s like waiting for your favorite singer to be the first on top 10! Hmm.. who cares? The best songs were never the top of anything really. They were good and always memorable for not being over emphasized in the media. Same goes for the internet. Here is one of those annoying top posts, “the top 10 cars of 2007.” Some person decided to post his favorite top 10 cars of this year. Most of them are based on look and how expensive they are, and he slammed the info together with pics and called it “Top 10 Cars for 2007!” Wow…. bull crap shit! Who gives two shits! However, it gets lots of diggs, and lots of popularity. People like that stuff? The top 10 of the day is really that important? More important than news events and real human written insight of the world? You call that a blog post worth the popularity and to be dugg?

I am so disappointed with how the internet social media has become. It is rubbish written with no intellectual persona. However, since I am the Rebellious Arab Girl with so much vanity, whining and complaining about everything only makes me want to be part of the group of the popular kids. So I decided my top five will be a lot cooler. It will be about how wicked awesome my site is. *Sigh* I should be dugged for coming up with such a list! WOW!!!

Here are my top 5 reasons of why my site gets 1000’s of hits a day and Google loves to index it!

5. My site is filled with too many different moody thoughts and opinions and I write daily.

4. My site loads slow because I love graphics and people on dialup complain that they want to see it and I say, “kiss my ass.”

3. I like saying, “kiss my ass” to people who whine more than me and they still come back to read it more and more.

2. I fight with people who comment on my site because I have hard time changing my mind and I don’t bend that easily and they come back for more and start hate sites against me.

*Drum Role Please!* The number one is:

1. People think I am a porn site by the title and keep searching for “Sex Arab Girls,” and Google says yes, “Rebellious Arab Girl” is the number one relevant choice for your search!

Note: Google thinks I am awesome! However, I disagree about my awesomeness and I think Google doesn’t know how to search properly.

I had a strange day.. So confusing and stupid.. You know the interview I had on Monday.. it was re-posted today on job sites. I am like fuck.. whatever.. and now they revised the position to be more of teaching. Honestly, good luck finding a technology teacher. Unless they are already profs in computer science or technology, then they will be lucky to find a suitable teacher that can teach technology to old people. It’s not that easy I tell you. Teaching technology is not easy at all.

So I spent my night doing nothing, although I got a test tomorrow and a full project at work to finish debugging. I am so not in the mood to do anything. I am currently watching Little Mosque on the Prairie. Funny show aired here in Canada made by Canadians. So I am munching on a full bag of pop corn. I had fudge earlier. I bought 3/4 pound of fudge. It was yummy. I have little bit left at work. I payed 12 dollars for it. loool I am nutz, but I will pay ANYTHING for fudge. I am obsessed!

So far I am so stressed about life and work and the future. I am just sick of thinking about it. I am tired of work and looking for work. So stupid. Why do we have to work? I want to be a lazy bum. I want my name to make money. Can the name Rebellious Arab Girl be copyrighted and I make money off that to live!

I had a very strange day today. I got to work and I checked my email and bam, I got work! Yaaay. So I spent my day working. My boss was also asking me if I wasn’t totally insane and want to stay past December. He can keep me on for 3 or 4 months if worse comes to worse. I am like.. hmm. Tempting and at least I would have time to finish up stuff and more time to look for work and not feel useless. I hate not working. It just bugs me.. I like work! Yes.. I am insane. I am a workaholic!

Anyways, after work I went to the mall and then to the gym with my sister. We always browse around in the mall before we go to the gym which is also inside the mall. I like to visit the bookstore. I know.. I am such a geek. As we got out of the bookstore and went across to a card store, my sister tugs on my coat and says:

“I saw two guys holding hands in the bookstore!”

I said, “ok? Your point?”

She said, “oh my God. Don’t you care?”

I said, “Hmm. What am I supposed to do? ”

She said, “ewww.. it’s wrong.”

I said, “Yes.. and what am I supposed to do?”

She said, “nothing.”

I said, “ok.. it’s normal.. we can’t change people or bother with their life choices.”

She said, “I know.. but ..”

I said, “No buts.. just don’t bother.. who cares. It’s like looking at a fat person, or extremely short person. Who cares!”

She said, “ok ok.. I get the point.”

What am I to do? How do you explain to a 12 year old to just accept things and who cares. People are people. They choose their life and we can’t do anything about it. I have no reason to judge them.

After that.. I bought new pants earlier from Sears and wore them for gym. They are warmer and nicer. I like new things. As we were doing our thing, I saw a bunch of black lint pieces all over the floor. The more I moved, the more came out. I was like great! Of all people, ME! I hate wearing stupid pants like that. So I got to wash it 2 or 3 times now so all that stupid ass lint goes away. I hate certain sweat pants. Bleh!

Now I am in my room, just took a shower, and I am too lazy to dry my hair. Should I do it now or in the morning? If I straighten it now, then in the morning I will wake up and it will curl it self up again. I don’t know how and I have to straighten it again. I hate having naturally curly hair. Even after I have cut it to my shoulder, it still pisses me off and takes the same amount of time to dry and straighten it. Why can’t we humans ever be satisfied with what we have? My hair is just too curly! I want super straight oriental hair like Japanese or Chinese. That would be awesome!

Hmm… that’s my day. I am sleepy. It’s almost 9:30 pm and my eyes are very droopy. Zzzz..
