Darn lawn mowers. The noise is so freakin loud. Not to mention annoying. Its time vacuum’s and lawn mowers and technology of the likes started to produce a newer version. One that doesn’t make a SOUND. A number of times I’ve had to put off vacuuming while I was in my cleaning mood. Why? Because someone is either sleeping or on the phone. too bad, a few minutes later the cleaning mood vanishes into thin air, leaving me a frustrated mom and even decreased internet privileges.

So yesterday me and my mom went to the cardiologist for her normal check up thing. Kinda got a long story behind it, which I don’t wanna write about, but in short, everything is perfectly normal. Ya so it was a 4 hour test, which transformed into a 6 hour one due to the heavy traffic up there.

Anyway, so I was sitting in the waiting room right? flipping through magazines. Some dating as old as 2000. talk about cheap out of date people. Them Doc folks make enough money to order a subscription of the latest up to date magz, so that people can at least not die of boredom. Anyway, it didn’t matter to me. We almost have a subscription of each and every magazine that was down there. So I didn’t really need to see the same ole crap that’s been lying around my house for weeks. it’s the old stuff I was looking at.

Soooo getting to the point..CNN Is on in the waiting room talking about islamic terrorists, I’m in a niqaab, there are people from all kinds of ethnicities sitting there. Already staring mad at me. To make it worse, john Ashcroft thinks it’s the perfect time to make a speech about that dude in Chicago, forgot his name, the muslim charity collector that supported violence instead, or so they say. So the freak of nature is giving a speech, and people are staring like soo weird at me. i’m just like, DIDN’T YO MOMMA TEACH U STARIN BE RUDE? Huh?

Guess not.

I don’t really blame anyone actually. Kinda sorta, not that much. Aint their fault. There’s not much muslim awareness down here, except in one of those heavily desi/muslim populated regions, which are like so rare. There are a lotta muslims in Georgia, just not so close together. Everyone’s scattered.

Now on the other hand, Houston, Chicago, or New York, wouldn’t have been so bad.

So anyway, later on, me and my mom were eating, and I was finished. Jamaican lady sitting next to me, compliments my mom on how young she looks, then asks me, after a while, as the introductions were made, “so what religion are u?” “islam,” I say. “oh yeah, muslim” she goes. “uh huh” I reply then turn my attention back toward my magazine. Hey I was jus trying be up to date on history. So then my mom and her talk about how each religion promotes peace love and all that. so the lady turns to me and says, “yeah, we’re all Gods children” and smiles. I wasn’t paying much attention so I’m just like agreeing with everything she’s saying. Yeah yeah, ya know. And so like 5 seconds later it hit me. WHA?! Gods children? I’m agreeing to that? oh hell no! luckily, a nurse came for the Jamaican woman, and left right that instant.

But her daughter and her daughters son were still there. So then they talked to me for a while, and the son was like 4 or something. Really cute. When my mom left, he asked his mom, pointing towards me, “where’d the other lady LIKE HER go?”

Ok I look nothing like my mom. It’s the burka and stuff.

Anyway, today I jus came back from the mall. Had to pick up a moisturizer. The clinique lady over there was pretty illiterate when it came to her job. She had no idea of the makeover. Screw u. I’ll get it anyways. It’s not like I made up anything.

And then brought my uncle and aunty to their new apt so they could set some stuff up. Pretty cool apt. better than NEW YORK and them weirdo ole states. Almost like houses.

So I was walking in their hallway, and these girls were cleaning up on of the APTs. They’re all cussing each other out, dunno if it was for fun, or if they were fighting. I walk past them, and stopped to ask ‘em something cuz I couldn’t find the house, and they all froze. LOL! Shoulda seen the look on their faces. And they weren’t doing sh*t. they were standing there talking away when they were supposed to be cleaning.

A day left till sun’s engagement. Still gotta get that PERFECT BLUE lipgloss shade. Oh hell I can’t find it nowhere. Still gotta try lookin places tho. Or maybe ill jus ask sana if she has it.

Afshaaaan, u bess get my camera gURL.

Ok anyways, I’m gonna jet before my dad gets mad again. Seems like everything I do is wrong. Shoot, I’m pissed.

Such is life.

Q of the day: are you mad at anybody right now? Think. Think hard. You might be.

ps: i'm gonna add smileys from now on. =)
