My stupid party wasn’t even that stupid. :)

*licks lips*

*licks lips*

I got ace pressies! And insha’Allah I will get my trial lenses on my appointment on Friday!

Also, my My Weird and Abnormal Cousin S’s dad forced me to take a picture with him. It was highly embarrassing. And NO I WILL NOT POST THOSE PICTURES! (I know you were thinking it, don’t try denying it!)

Love, Falak

Apparently…

December 29, 2008 · 20 Comments

…I is an exclamation point. I know! So cool, na? I found the quiz first on Marahm’s blog and then on Souvenirs and Scars. I decided to take it and here is the result!

You Are An Exclamation Point
You are a bundle of… well, something.
You’re often a bundle of joy, passion, or drama.

You’re loud, brash, and outgoing. If you think it, you say it.
Definitely not the quiet type, you really don’t keep a lot to yourself.

You’re lively and inspiring. People love to be around your energy.
(But they do secretly worry that you’ll spill their secrets without even realizing it.)

You excel in: Public speaking

You get along best with: the Dash

I completely disagree with the public speaking thing. I is absolutely rubbish at that. I was once forced into reading something out at the last assembly of the previous school year and I shook so much that my sister’s friend (who was in the crowd) asked her, “Does she need to go to the hospital?” *throws dark looks at sister’s friend*

Anyway, whaddya think? Is I an exclamation mark? Hmm, you know, I think I can be at times, but then I get really moody and silent and just shut down. I am quite moody. But yeah, sometimes I can be. :)

Also,  one is turning 16 tomorrow (30th December). I thought I was turning 16 today but that was because the computer said yesterday was the 29th when it was really the 28th. Stupid thing.

My Weird and Abnormal Cousin S rang me the other day at 11 o’ clock in the morning (whilst I was in bed SLEEPING) and asked me what I wanted from town. This is how the conversation went:

Me: (drowsily) Salamu ‘alaikum?
S: (pause*) Falak, do you want anything from town?
Me: S? What?
S: I’m in town, do you want anything?
Me: S, I’m flipping sleeping!
S: Do you want anything?
Me: (sigh) Look, just gemme a book.
S: Oh right. (Pause.) My mum’s getting you lenses.
Me: What lenses? Contact lenses?
S: Yeah
Me: Oh. Cool.
S: Oh right, I’m off then.
Me: ‘Kay. Bye.
S: (dial tone)

I was half-dead throughout that phone call, and when it was over I just snuggled back into my warm, warm bed.

PS. I will not be blogging all that much for the next few weeks ’cause I’ve got three exams…yes, you read that right, THREE EXAMS! And I need to revise.

PPS. Revision sucks so bad.

*S never replies to salaams. Ha ha.

Love, Falak
