Honestly, why on earth is the AOL company so popular? I can understand that they are way over their heads in money, because of the millions of trillions of pop-ups and notices of ad-ware advertisment programs trying to install themselves on my uncle's computer.
This is all before I even have any windows open. >:|
The pop-ups slay me so ;_;
And every thirty secons, Scotty the Watchdog askes me about 7 different programs (Ad-ware) that havent been approved of beforehand.
Then Scotty asks if I wanted my homepage to be changed to where it is trying to be changed to.
I love Scotty the Watchdog.
But remember, this is all happening about every minute or so. And there are about 7-9 windows that pop up in a row, asking me the same questions about the same types of things.
So yeah.
*shakes head* u_u
What I notice so strongly lately is how barely anything is how it seems. People and their situations. I mean, I never expected everything to be as face value, but what I really hate is how all of what I see is what seems like people getting along, love each other, is really a facade.
And then you get to witness all the backstage happenings.
This all reminds me that I hate fighting. I really do. Especially the screaming kind, where the tension is so heavy you could suffocate in it, where the burning biting hating words thrown around so freely, where you are afraid this could only end in bruises. Or worse.
How can you live that and still pretend to be happy?
Methinks I have to start looking for a job here, if I am going to stay. After what needs to be done has happend, I honestly dont know what to do with myself, as one of the few reasons I am here will mostly be solved. I dont think I will be needed in that department anymore.
It has gotten now so that things are starting to feel grey and monotonouse. Not even Ranma can get me out of it, as that is fading into that catagory.
Or maybe I am too tired in a way that a weary methuselah is.
Last Saturday, my cousins dragged me outside pretty early for a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament in the Toys-R-Us at Hudson Mall. Afterwards, ran to Newport for the movie, DDR, blah blah blah, back to Journal Square, then finally walked home from there. Long walk. 'Specially if you are already tired.
Dropped off one of their friends that came along. As we were about to leave, his dad pulled up. Said hello and stuff to everyone. He turned to me and asked me in Arabic if I was my dad's daughter. I nodded in shock, while he repeated it in English. I kept nodding, while he went into a thing about how nice and wonderful a guy my dad is. (Off subject, but I notice lately that I understand a whole lot more Arabic than I can speak.) Invited me inside, still in a numb shock sort of state.
Met the rest of his family. Two boys, two girls. The girls are older than the boys, 18, 13, then 11, I believe, and 4 or 5. He was telling everyone how wonderful my dad is, and that because I am my dad's daughter, that automaticly makes me as great as him, as wonderful and kind. He said he was proud to have me in his house, to consider me as one of his daughters, to treat his house as my own.
Wow indeed. 0.0;;
I met his daughter Sarah. We hit it off very well, at least I think so. It is hard to explain, but it feels like I knew her before. No, I dont mean that because her dad came in the living room and said about how when I was 4 or 5 ish, my dad took me over to their old house (he was doing some construction work in there) and me and Sarah played. In all honesty, her parents faces are familiar <.<;;
I think it is both odd and cool that she has a lot of interests and likes that I have. And vice-versa, I believe.
Sarah is really neat =D
One of the things I notice about Egyptian culture is how people judge you on your family and their reputation. If your family is good but you are deemed not that great *cough*blacksheep*cough*, you are accepted by people, just because of your family name, of who your parent(s) are. If your family name is bad.....heh. I can only imagine what it is like. Not good.
I fully and completely disagree with that system. I dont like it one bit.
Most Egyptian families run like the maffia. X_+
There is a maffia gang that is pretty near where I live. My uncle knows them, as they pay him to build buildings for them of sorts.
The stuff I have been told, you dont want to mess with any of them. You might think twice about looking at one funny.
Heh. Heh heh. Heh.
Heh. <.<;;
I want to play Literati ^_o
Edit: I clicked 'random member' and I got myself XD |
