I promise I will answer emails! Soon!

This has become my day. I wake up in the morning, go through 20 – 30 emails. On top of that, 15 – 20 comments to approve, and questions to try to answer through email. I also have Facebook with 105 people so far where people ask me questions and write on my wall. I got twitter with 472 followers and I try to answer them too. During the course of the day, I get 30 – 40 more emails to sort through.

I am bug eyed now! The Rebellious Arab Girl is loosing her social networking abilities! She needs a posse to help her out. (hint hint)

Seriously, I don’t even answer that many comments on my site anymore! I need to get back on track and try to dedicate a minimum of an hour a day to properly answer questions. If I didn’t answer it, please send me the question again! I am sorry, but I am one crazy person with too many emails!

At this rate, I need an assistant. Lisa volunteered and she tried to take over my Facebook, but she is lazy as lazy as can be! Plus she has no patience. So I gave her the boot and removed her privileges! lol

I still love each and every one of you. Spread the love my people! Spread the love!

Blah Blah, Confused, My taste of Music, Random Thoughts, They said what?

I finally got people emailing me asking me why the heck does the slogan on my banner say, “Oh… just a bit of column of A. Then some of column B.” Now that’s a great question. Glad you asked that ever so enthusiastically.

When I was growing up, I had an obsession with Disney movies. Till this day, I remember movies such as Winnie the Pooh, Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Robin Hood, etc. I have seen them all more than 20 times each. Maybe even more. VHS and those rewind buttons were easily operated by a 3 year old. DVD’s are too complicated for even a 20 year old now a days! Anyways, you can say I am the typical 80′s child that survived her childhood watching imaginary crap. However, one movie stuck in my head that I not only know the lyrics to the songs, but also the words within the movie. Aladdin! That movie was awesome! I loved the movie so much, that I played the SNES game too! I still play the SNES game on my computer. Technology rules!

So what does the slogan have to do with Disney? Well, you see, I didn’t like Aladdin because of Jasmine or the dorky Aladdin guy. I loved the GENIE! He was blue and he had some lip! He wouldn’t shut up! He sings a song called A Friend Like Me, and in the song he says, “Have some of column A. Try some of column B.” So I thought, why not. So I changed it a bit and thought it was appropriate for my site. Since I don’t shut up and don’t care what word vomits out of my brain to the computer screen. So I give you some bit of flavor: some from column A, and some from column B.

Back in the day, when I first started making websites more than 10 years ago, I had personal sites and I just splashed animated pictures of Genie every where. Hehehe.

So sing you fools and honour thy Blue Genie!

Blah Blah, Funny, My taste of Music, Video

I don’t have much to say today. Just happy new year to you guys. I am a bit meh right now and I got nothing to talk about or I just don’t feel like saying anything.

Maybe I will leave you with a song.

Blah Blah, My taste of Music, Sleepy Post

Maybe I am the only person right now who wants this year to end now now now! This I can tell you has been the worst year ever. It was crazy. It was an emotional roller coaster, and the end of many life changing events.

I put together my favorite posts of this year in order of events.

Favorite posts of 2008

January

- Why do you people hate me?
I still don’t know why, I think it is because I am awesome and I run this crazy ass popular blog, and you don’t!

- Western v.s Eastern Mentality
This is one of my mind boggling posts. I wanted to compare the two because I am stuck in the middle.

February

- The Arab forbidden love
Yah.. the touchy sensitive subject about Arab love.

- My blog is Haram!
I always get religious fanatics. They spice up my blog with their closed mindedness.

March

- Kiss Me I am Arab.
This is my version of St. Patrick’s Day celebration. The Arab one!

April

- I lost Squibby.
The day I lost Squibby!

- SQUIBBY IS BACK!
24 hours later, someone else took care of them, and returned him to me after I put signs up in the hall way.

May

- Honour Killings
Another touchy subject that I don’t agree with.

- Don’t show your face, but your legs for sure!
Only in Saudi Arabia, things like this happen.

June

- You don’t need to be unemployed to feel like one.
I suffered from feeling useless at a job. For many many months.

July

- Squibby is home … cause work SUCKS!
I brought Squibby home because I was sick of my job. I was slowly bringing everything home around that time.

- She saw in 40 days what we experienced all our lives
When my sister went to Lebanon and saw the refugee camps, then she realized that Palestinians lived or still live a horrible life.

August

- The day that I resigned
Best day of this year when I gave my resignation to the idiot of a new boss who knows nothing about management or anything intellectual.

- Arabs justify everything by blaming others
Don’t you agree?

September

- Why am I attracted to Geeks?
I still think Geeks are hot.

October

- And today’s number 1 email is: … (drum roll please)
Hate mail always spices up my site.

November

- Hate mail number 100334… I lost count 2 days ago.
More hate mail. Jeez. Leave me alone people!

December

- I am not your immigration ticket
I had to write this. After I wrote this, I got twice as many emails from guys wanting to come to this country thinking I will land them a job. Hello! Someone! Anyone willing to hire me first?

- So what really happened?
And end of an era. HE wouldn’t leave me alone. He just wanted to ruin my end of year celebration. Which is sitting down doing nothing and enjoying peace of mind. But no! He has to always ruin everything that I enjoy! :vangry:

- How to explain our lives and culture to everyone else?
I didn’t know this was a touchy subject. Oh wait, religion is always a touchy subject. You can say I ended my blog year with a bang from this post. People are either open minded and open to discussion, or they have two and a half brain cells.

Favorite song for 2008

I think I used to rule the world back in the day when I was queen of my mythical land area in the near east. It was my head quarters!

My final words of wisdom for 2008

Leave me alone people! Holy crap you drove me insane! Next year, stop bugging me. When I talk about the most controversial issues, don’t write crap. Only this year I enabled moderation for comments, because I don’t want other human beings to see how idiotic you are. Also, is insulting a person you don’t know and may never meet in this life time, make you seem to have a bit more power? A bit more say? Really, it does not. It just makes you stupid. So grow up!

On a positive note, I don’t have a new years resolution. All I do in the end of the year is to pray to God it is not as bad as the previous. Also, I want to maybe have a bit of change in my life. I want to do new things. I think 2009 will be just fine. I feel the positiveness coming out of it already. Amen! :up:
