Hmm.. My mother tongue is actually both Arabic and English. I was strictly brought up bilingual since the day I learned to talk. My parents were pretty pushy with me knowing both the languages. However, seriously, when I read articles online about me in Arabic, and they write my name like this:

فتاة عربية متمردة

Then it freaks me out!! The way my site’s title is translated to Arabic. OMG! Motamareda just sounds so wrong. I feel like I need to close down the site and come up with a nicer name. However, I tell the other side of my brain, which is the English side, that it’s ok. It’s no big deal!

On the mentioning of languages, for those that are bilingual or multilingual, what language do you dream in at night? I only dream in English. Should I be concerned that my inner conscience is losing a language?

I need to go read some Arabic. I am losing it. Losing it all! Also, I fixed my character encoding and people can type Arabic now, and so can I! YAY!

Blah Blah, Funny, Random Thoughts, Ranting as usual!, Whatever!

I got a silly email this morning from an idiot named Rebecca. She does not like Arabs. The media’s power permanently brain washed her tiny head. I am surprised she was able to find my site using the world wide interweb.The biggest invention in modern human society!

This is what she wrote:

Name: Rebecca

Dear Mona (Rebellious Arab Girl): You gave 13 reasons why you hate being Arab, but you did not mention: Arabs invented airline hijacking, destroyed the World Trade Center along with 3,000 innocent lives, 9 out of 10 terrorists are Arabs, there are no real Arab democracies, the Arab world is totally backwards and racist, Arabs tell ridiculous lies about non-Arabs, and distribution of wealth in the Arab world is extremely uneven. Sincerely, Rebecca

This is what I replied back:

And the western world tells ridiculous lies about the Arab world. Everyone uses their media power and backwards mentality to tell its people what they like and spread hatred.

By the way, I wasn’t being sarcastic. You offended me by your stupid email. I may not like some Arab cultural matters that effect me personally because I am an Arab, but don’t go blame an entire civilization for one or two idiot’s actions.

Where is Bin Laden now? USA bombed the hell out of two countries, and was able to remove a president from its power over an entire nation, but where is Bin Laden? It’s like playing Where’s Waldo with a blind Satellite dish. All the money and power of USA, and they can’t find a guy hiding in the mountains? Funny… isn’t it?

I think you need to look beyond your nose for two minutes and think logically. You make your self seem like a closed minded fool.

Don’t ever come to my site again or email me. You are not worth my time anymore.

Bye!

Then in an instance after I submitted the email, I got an error message back saying that her email “delivery to the following recipient failed permanently.”

She was too chicken shit to deal with the Rebellious Arab Girl. Sorry, I meant, just an Arab Girl who is like everyone else, cannot stand this backwards mentality, and won’t take shit from racist people who only have two brain cells!

Angry, Idiots, They said what?, Whatever!

The other day, I was having a normal boring conversation about a new theater that is opening near our house. I so want it to open soon, so I can go watch new awesome movies in style.

Mom: I heard they are going to open a bar in it.

Me: In a movie theater? Next to a school and in the middle of a residential area? Who told you that nonsense?

Mom: That’s what people are saying.

Me: No! That’s what backwards dumb old Arabs say! They don’t think of anything positive and fun ever in this city! EVER!

Mom: Why do you always say Arabs this and Arabs that? Aren’t you an Arab? Don’t worry. I just made it up.

Me: Yeah right. You never come up with stupid ideas like that. You just hear things and believe them like a blind person believing others that the traffic light is now for pedestrians.

Mom: Shut up. End story.

I got up and left. I didn’t want to continue this nonsense conversation. I wonder how many people in the Arab community of this God for saken town has heard that gibberish. A bar in a huge new theater? What next? A strip club in the mall?

ARABS in Canada! Go back home and see the crap that the Arab world is doing. It makes Canada seem like a conservative little town!

Angry, Blah Blah, Confused, Culture, They said what?, Whatever!

The more I talk to various people, the more I realize that I am way normal. So normal, that I am hanging out permanently with my other peepz at the peak of the social normal scale. I am on the top enjoying cleaner air, but maybe less oxygen. Meh, who needs oxygen!! Oxygen is SO overrated. Stay tuned for an explanation of that messed up concept in future rebellious nonsense thoughts. Why you may ask that I am claiming my normality, finally?? Well, I thought I took things seriously. I thought of my self as a major drama empress. (Not queen. I was beyond royalty at various cracking points.) lol Seriously, some people amaze me!

Here is what I have learned from observing people’s behaviour and online socializing:

1. People cannot take advice from me. They love to give it to me, and enforce it upon me, but once the tides have turned, bam, they take major offense by the words that I vomit through the keyboard.

2. I cannot express my self truthfully at all. I feel like I always have to crack a joke or sarcastic reply to gain people’s friendship. Once I have a serious talk, then it all goes down hill from there. That proves to me that people are way over sensitive.

3. If I spaz or reply back angrily, because they offended me, then they no longer want to talk to me ever again. So, if you do it to me, I am ok with it? Do you guys think I am that insensitive to take it?

4. If I give a general opinion about them, then they take it as a major offense! Why the hell do you ask me sometimes what I think of you? You are so asking the wrong person. I don’t lie when it comes to people’s obviously messed up personalities and actions. No one is perfect, but some things ARE OBVIOUSLY WRONG! I don’t draw any lines when it comes to telling people what I really think of them.

5. Once they get mad at me, or take offense by me telling the truth, the first thing they say, “Your blog sucks! All you write is nonsense and turn it into a chat room about nothing.” So, why were you a part of this nonsense to begin with? Like I said earlier, they only like my sarcastic humor. They don’t realize that I sometimes act like a serious person. You should see me in a suit. I look like an 18 year old executive about to lead the world into oblivion. Ha ha ha.

6. Most importantly, I don’t care if they don’t want to talk to me again. Less human beings to interact with on a personal level, the better!

The end.

Wasn’t that a lovely post?

Should I explain now why I think oxygen is overrated? lol Or does anyone else want to take a wise crack at my messed up concept? Ha ha!

Advice, Blah Blah, Random Thoughts, Ranting as usual!, They said what?, Whatever!

I always thought this way!!

Could this be any more true?
