Yameen asked the following question:
To me rebellion is going out and doing something great, being your own boss, not letting people get to you, and making something of yourself as opposed to what a woman in our “arab community” is supposed to do. Don’t you think that you are somehow doing the exact opposite by giving up easily, and doing what is expected of an arab woman to do (stay at home) and that you’re only saying that you’re different?
Well, I asked my self that question a thousand times for the past few days. Then I realized that I am doing exactly the opposite so I would know how it feels to be one. So far, I am hating it, but I am trying really hard to think of “what I can possibly do” that I would really enjoy. So far, sitting at home and being a typical Arab girl is killing me.
So yes, truthfully, I am doing exactly the complete opposite of what I want to do, and I feel so bad, but at the same time, I am doing it in spite of what society wants me to do. To work because I have to. Why? So I have to work and earn money to keep in the bank and look at it. I did that for 6 years, so it is time to be different and not worry too much. You can tell I have so many thoughts in my head, and I am a Confused Arab Girl at the moment.
Thanks everyone for your questions. That was fun, and I enjoyed it. Tomorrow I will pick the best question that I really enjoyed answering!

Great interview Mona.
Would you mind elaborating on a couple of your answers?
What was that technology award you won in high school all about? Did you design a future home?
For the following question…
“Have you ever considered marrying a non-Arab?
Nop. I feel like I am betraying my self if I do.”
That’s very curious. You strike me as a person who is too open to be thinking in that way. Is it because of deep-seated tradition, or because you think that only with an Arab would you be completely comfortable (family, culture, etc.)?
I ask because love and intimacy can be achieved with anyone, and almost always at random (by my experience); sometimes it is even more passionate when it is with someone from a different “world”. And what would you do if you fell in love with someone who isn’t Arab?
@Ahmed Masri
The award for getting the highest final mark for all sections. It was using autocad and drawing homes and 3d objects, etc.
As for marrying a non-Arab, I will not. It has nothing to do with rebellion or going outside my norm. I just want an Arab. I speak the language, and I feel as an Arab, I would not feel comfortable being with someone who does not understand most of the lifestyle of an Arab. However, I want this Arab guy to understand that we can live a great life without being constrained to old traditions and way of life of typical Arabs.
I doubt I will ever fall in love with a non-Arab. Maybe if he is good looking, I will just have a crush on him and stare at him all day, but that’s about it!
I was really shocked about your answer on the first kiss question. I assume it was with ur ex? (if u want 2 share or not)
@Lela
Ohh… shocking.. omg!! omg!!
LoL it was very shocking for me. But hey at least u gave the honest answer!
@Lela
Me no lie to the masses! Mwaaaah!! Kissy Kissy!!
That was interesting, Mona. Thanks for posting it..I do realize I had way too many questions for you, haha….is it our turn yet? I love your answer about marrying an Arab,
@JouJou
Your turn yet? Well, what do you want me to do in a couple of days? Ask a question and get a reply from everyone? If so, I can ask really crazy questions!
@Mona
Celebrity is in the air 
Oh ask away, but we may not have the same guts as you to come out right, hehe.
You did pretty darn well considering maybe, 100s of questions
@JouJou
I know when people lie.. so I will ask one question later this week, and see what all of you would answer.
I just came across this blog today, very interesting!
@Mona
Sounds good, it’s only fair we give it our best shot
I totally picture you now dancing to “I’m bringing sexy back..” thanks
AutoCad is fun to work with in 3D, wish I had more time to play in that world – you ever work with 3D Studio Max by the same company?
So, here’s a though I been having, do you consider Arab to be a lifestyle – culture along with language or do you feel they also must be the race of an Arab? For example, if you met someone who lived in Lebanon his whole life, but happened to have European parents or grandparents. I know race & skin color can influence how someone is treated, but not always what they end up as.
@Mona
That’s a great answer.
read the whole 3 parts, and loved it, but best part was this;
There is still hope.
Adios
I really enjoyed reading ur answers …. u r a very interesting person …
@Moonstar Silverwolf
I love that song!!
I played around with Studio Max, but it is difficult to get the hang of it without formal training, and I don’t feel like teaching my self something like that. lol
To me an Arab is the person that speaks the language and holds dear to them some cultural values or traditions that are well known that an Arab has. Not those crazy made up traditions, but the original good ethical and moral ones. So, that person could have different ancestry, but it’s how they are raised, and where they are raised that matters. Unlike me who is stuck between two worlds and has no idea what to do.
@Amina H.
Thanks amiga!
@SimSim
Thanks for the interest in finding me interesting!
@Mona
Studio Max is difficult I would agree, what I like about it is being able to bring it into AutoCad so it can be turned into reality 
I had a feeling that was the case. I’m sure when the time is right he will appear
