hey there, sister nebraska
I love el-jay type people--I'm most certainly using this icon everywhere, because it's subtle, but effective.
I am really, really over war. I am tired of injustice, and I'm tired of blood--and I'm tired of worrying for people on both sides of the wall. I don't want my brothers and sisters in Palestine to die, and I don't want anything to happen to Gadi and his lovely family, either. I can kind of empathize with the old man in the airport who was shouting about Arabs. On the one hand, if you don't make friends with anyone outside your own country, you don't care what happens to them.
...on the other, the food is better.
But really, I'm just tired of being a bad Muslim because I'm American and a bad American because I'm Muslim. When I was in London, I was scandalous because I would eat chicken (astaghfirullah it was the only thing on the voucher XD) but also great because I was an American and as far as they could tell, Muslim. Ughhh. I could have been a normal person and waited until university, waited until everyone would think that it wasn't just a "phase" and that I'd get over it someday and go back to Christianity.
I went to mass at Westminster Abbey and am still here. If that doesn't take talent, I don't know what does.
I think I will just curl up and die if Netanyahu is elected. I really will.
And if Ahmadinejad is reelected. Even though my fangirl love for him is strong.
And should I really care about these things?

In other news, I'm writing again, and pouring all of my angst into Leila. :)
