Oh really? Yeah mom’s big on UGA, she went there even though we live in SC, so we’re not that far. I actually got in and thought about going but the tuition was ungodly expensive.
I definitely want to travel as much as possible, it’s one of the best experiences ever. If you go to Dubai before I do you must tell me how it is. I hear it’s beautiful. Where all have you been?
I could kind of understand where my parents were coming from. They were watching their eldest daughter fall in love with a land and culture that the media makes out to be hell on Earth. They’ve realized I’m serious about this though and I’ve helped them see how things really are. Which is an accomplishment, since many people here have such a misunderstanding about the Middle East and the situations there.
Chinese is pretty difficult, I learned bits when I was a kid. I had a Malaysian babysitter while my mom took night classes at UGA. haha. The Latin root is helpful in Spanish, I speak some also. I’d like to live in Madrid for a bit and perfect mine, as it’s one of my favorite places in the world so far. But Egypt is perfect for what I want to go into. And if you want you can come visit when I make it out there. haha
I’m usuall end up doing things the hard way but having your parents support really lightens the load no matter what you’re facing. Though I told myself if it came down to it I’d rather go about things the hard way and know I did what I really wanted than give in to their opposition. Do you regret not switching schools?
Arabic is fascinating but the dialects are killing me. I’m planning to go towards international relations, working on political science degree. I want to transfer to the American University in Cairo. My father just said today he was going to pay for my mother to go over with me and check it out. I’m STOKED. A few months ago he swore if I went he’d not support me. Were your parents like that?
Glad to hear that, I wish I had the chance to pick up and move to another place. I had to make a fresh start for myself living where I had been my entire life to get over a relationship. It was difficult! But I’m a more independent person.
Things are going pretty well though, this is my first year of full time college, though I was taking classes last year. I’m learning Arabic privately and working so I’m too busy to eat and sleep at times. haha. You’re still in school right?
great!! Have fun! I am gonna move soon too, not too far though. But it’s gonna be different because I’ll be away from my family, I am really not used to staying away from them. But I am moving with my best buddies so that’s gonna be fun. And my turtle Shelly can move with me too! :D
lol, that’s adorable! hahaha you had your dog eat your food x.x And I’m getting over my fear of kitchen closets…but it’s weird though because I feel like something’s gonna pop out at me when I open them..
When you put it that way…I don’t know if I’d be able to go to space alone…but I think it would be a wonderful experience…like to see the world from that point of view. Scientists calculated that it would cost $50,000 total to go to the moon and back for a day. hahaha and that is also how much it’d cost to go on vacation for a year x.x So if you had to pick between those two what would it be?
That’s so funny! XD I was never really that bad when I was little, but if I didn’t eat my food, my parents would tell me there was a witch in the closet, and one time, my aunt hid in the closet and my dad said the witch kidnapped her. hahaha now I don’t like kitchen closets x.x
But I think going to the moon would kinda be scary…but awesome too.
That’s exactly how I used to think too, until I asked my art teacher that question, and he was like “who really has the authority to give a star a name?” So theoretically speaking, I could totally go outside and name all the stars, so why not name stars from the moon? haha I think it works.
That’s such a cool story! It’s awesome that you two met on here. Wow, I just love the people here. I miss how it used to be on here though…like the community feeling.
I’m trying so hard to keep myself busy, and it worked. I think I’m over him for now…if I don’t see him, then I’ll be fine…but if I go back to my school, then I don’t know what will happen. That’s great advice though. Wow I really can’t believe that a year ago, you were so sad, and now you’re so happy! I love it! That’s just like my other friend. Life goes on I guess.
I’m so happy to hear that you’re doing so well! That gives me hope. But a new apartment…that’s pretty awesome too. Wow, looks like things are looking up for you. I’m happy for you :D
And I’m much better…it’s mainly because I have other stuff to worry about now. I’m not sure I’ll be able to go back to the same school anymore, and I’m not sure I can handle that right now. But oh well…everything happens for a reason, right? :P
Things are going really well actually, I have another boyfriend…and hopefully I won’t mess things up with this one :P And I’m glad to see that things are getting better! You’ll find someone. I’m sure of it. So anyway, finish up collage strong, and remember, “In the end, everything is ok. If it’s not ok, then it’s not the end”. :)
Hey man,
I know it’s been a while, but I was just on here and I wanted to check up on how things were going with you? Did anything ever happen with that girl from your work? and forgive me if I take a really long time to reply, but school keeps me very busy
I hear you man, and that’s good that you’ve moved on. It’s such a liberating feeling isn’t it? When you realize they no longer have that measure of control over your life.
What I meant though, is that I wouldn’t even give her any satisfaction of communicating with me to go off on me. Exes sometimes need that… To transfer her negative energy, ya know? But you said you don’t let it get to you so I can see you have control over the situation…
What I don’t get is, why stick around if she’s always laying into you? You don’t need her and you sticking around is for her benefit, not hers. You’re a better person than me because I’d have had no sympathy for her after what she did.
Yeah hopefully things will work out for you, but it’s better not to have expectations… You won’t be disappointed then.
Hi! wondered if you could help me with something. I am trying to give a music vid. from you tube to a friend as a b-day gift.I was told to go to the address bar and right click to copy. I did that and I only come up with the link.I want the actual vid. to show like you see others here, with the center arrow you just click on to get it to play.I don’t know what to do to get this achieved. Do you have any suggestions that would help me? I’d appreciate this. thank you :)
There’s a fine line between believing and thinking (I know what you mean), but your mind won’t be giving you an argument unless there’s a purpose for it, especially when it comes to a person. If you find a rational argument in both sides you’ll want to encounter it and give it more consideration before you take yourself from it. Otherwise it will just rest in you until you’re at your weakest point again. I’m so open-minded that I went through it a lot, which is why it’s taken me so long to realize I’m better off as I am now.
It’s interesting to see you going through the same thing I am, and I wish I could say was. I saw the guy I mentioned in your post for the first time in a while Sunday, at a restaurant, and at first I was a little shaky but I realized how far I’d come. It’s getting a little bit better all the time, but I’ve had to make a lot of changes to help myself really.
I know exactly what you mean, she’s nice to listen to whenever you’re just relaxing or need to chill. And Samson has been my favorite for a long time, but I also really like Fidelity. Have you seen the music video for it?
Ok, so how would you ease in as opposed to jumping in?
Do you think it’s possible that she could just want to be assured that I’m there for her in case everything doesn’t work out? [she’s been I guess getting into other people] Like a backup gf?
LMAO! Shouted myself for the second time tonight… -_-. I had written:
I hear you man. That’s cool. I hope, in the end, whatever happens, that you’re happy =). That’s most important, you know?
The reason I asked is because I feel a similar thing with my ex. I look to you for advice because you handle yourself much better than I do lol. But lately my ex and I have been talking a lot more, much like you and your ex. Sometimes I get the sense that she might be getting feelings for me again. For example, like a few minutes ago, she woke from her sleep just to text me that she loves me. It was adorable -_-. I know that either my feelings are coming back or I’m falling for her again, but I don’t want to get my hopes up to be let down, you know? She tells me she loves/misses me everyday and I was wondering what do you make of that? Have I got a shot or am I just reading too mcuh into it?
Hey man, it’s cool. I asked. I’m glad to hear that she’s doing well and that you are too.
I know what you mean about it bugging you that you guys didn’t get to talk. I still feel that way from time to time. I have a question for you too. You can answer if you want or not. I just wanted to know if you’ve started getting feelings again for her now that you guys are talking again? And do you think she’s getting feelings for you again? Like I said, you don’t have to answer. Sorry if it seems like I’m prying.
wanna bet?
Ev. help me. i need to calm down. i am already nervous about being on the plane alone and then to meet him? by myself!?!?! what if he hates me? and i will be able to tell. i don’t think i realized how much i am trusting him. i am super vulnerable right now. i love him. and i trust him, but he has the power over me. he could absolutely destroy me. :(
