The day I wanted to shoot my self
Happy Eid everyone!
Look at me, I am festive! Although I am totally sacrilegious and should be condemned to hell, but I don’t care. God didn’t say I had to go to Eid prayer and dress up to find a husband. That’s when I said, “screw all of you Arabs! I hate this city!”
Let me explain a few things. There are two Eids or religious celebrations in Islam. Each Eid, the Muslim community holds morning Eid prayers for the masses in a huge hall. That’s fine, I used to go. I saw how it is.
I like my dad’s philosophy on things. My dad is very religious, but takes life easy. That means he is not extremist. He doesn’t say we have to do this or that, or wear this or that. So, he just goes to Eid prayer to pray, and comes back home. However, if my MOTHER goes, which she does 90% of time, then it is not the case at all.
This morning, my MOTHER and SISTER were getting dressed up to go. I looked at them and wondered why they were over dressing, and putting makeup and looking all so pretty. Obviously, I wasn’t going because I don’t care and I am condemned to hell anyways. This is how the conversation went with my MOTHER!
Condemned to hell me: “Why you getting dressed up so badly and putting makeup and looking extra nice. It is Eid prayer, not an Eid party. You acting like those young Arab girls who put heavy extra makeup looking like they are going to a party.”
MOTHER!: “What’s wrong with getting dressed up and putting makeup. It is the only time in the year where people see each other and meet new people, so they wear all this makeup and look nice. How else are these girls going to find husbands?”
That’s when my chin dropped and I wanted to move out of the house, and go live in Nunavut.
Condemned to hell me: “Excuse me?”
MOTHER!: “Seriously, how do girls find husbands now a days?”
That’s when I left the room, and decided that speaking with an ARAB MOTHER who has been brain contaminated by the Arab population of this God forsaken city that I live in is pointless.
I left the house now, and I don’t care! Maybe I will hitchhike to Nunavut. It will take 3 or 4 days to go all the way up north. I heard polar bears are hibernating now and I need some warm fuzzy sleepy friends.

Polar bears, with the exception of pregnant mothers, don’t hibernate. Even if they did, you wouldn’t want to sleep with one. Polar bears are one of the few animals on this planet who don’t fear humans, i.e. it would eat you!
@Meyrick Kirby – do you have the joy of correcting me or pointing out the most mundane parts of my post?
Yes.
Mind you, I wouldn’t refer to being eaten alive by a polar bear as mundane.
hahahaha.. Happy Eid to u mona.. i dressed up today..nt to find a husband sure cuz i’m nt gonna marry an arab man no matter wat .. ..bt to please ma self ,,n to feel it right ! >> somethin iz a bit different << .. on talkin about makeup i don put too much .. btw, u don no wat does heavy makeup mean ..if u wanna do so u have to visit Gulf Countries cuz girls here in Dubai don look pretty at all .. they r js horrid n scary ,, it’s right u don have to go to Eid prayer .. bt i’m wonderin how do Muslims celebrate Eid in Canada ?
I understand there is a Hadith that recommends women going for the Eid prayer, but I don’t think it’s also recommending us to wear five tons of make-up and 3 bottles of perfume when we go! I don’t go to the Eid prayer, either…who wants to be scoped out by all those crazy ladies as though we’re merchandise?!
Kirby… you’re annoying!!!
Anyways… going all the way up north isn’t gonna solve anything lol… especially in this cold
Just ignore them, works well with my parents when they get too stupid XD
Just shoot me now…ahahahaha nothing better than sipping on hot chocolate in my pj’s wouldn’t trade it for the world!
Long Live Hot Chocolate
I’m going to have to agree with Moey. Annoying.
You should have told her how else you can meet husbands, lol. I don’t think she’d like that much.
@everyone – funnay!
Annoying … I aim to please
I always try to stay away from events where there are too many arab women. All they do is judge the girls and look at us to the point where its just akward lol. I feel for ur sister if ur mom is already trying to find her a husband to be.
@lela – my sister is only 13. Yep.. she was the unwanted mistake. lol
Your attitude demonstrates sincerity…belated best wishes for Eid.
I found your blog via Entrecard and really enjoy it! I would like to pass on a Friendship tag:

warm fuzzy sleepy friends? make no mistake – in the words of the wise Mr. Colbert – bears are godless killing machines. Wait a sec – maybe it might be appropriate after all … carry on.
Hey Mona, if you wanna shot yourself please go ahead, but do make sure that you take the sony digital handicam to shoot yourself
anyways, jokes aside, i think that you are pretty well grown up, i mean matured. u know what conservative mom’s are going to speak. just hear it from one of your ears and throw it away from the other. simple.
ahahahahahahah hereye hereye….arab parents are complicated! They will nag at you until it is engraved in your skin, and maybe further down more! some times they just cant understand! They think life and everything in it is a piece of cake, a breeze.
are all the mom’s same?? my mom is always asking me did u get a boyfriend? or when u gonna get a boyfriend like there are not something else to do on life :S omg
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa… This blog cracked me UP!! Oh My Word this made me laugh so bad! I see y you consider urself sacreligious… Too many contradictions around u. I can’t believe that’s how some moms want their daughters to find a man. What ever happened to the man coming to find the woman???
anyway, very funny blog! ur hilarious
If eid prayer is the best place to find a wife, how come I’m still single
I always attend the eid prayers twice a year, never had any luck.
May be because my mom doesn’t attend the prayer, this must be a typical mom to mom Arabic match making, if his mom is not there he has no chance too
I just found your blog, I love it! I’m also an Arab girl who goes through this crap, and I feel for ya when it comes to getting dressed up to go to the Mousqe for Eid! Geez people, can you be more desperate?
This post is one my my favourites!
