It's been AGES!!!!
Yes, it's been absolutely forever since I've been in here.
But I guess that's cuz not that much has changed. Same school, same professors, same friends, same hangouts. It's kinda boring actually. =P
But I'm really happy with boring right now. I had enough excitement one and two years ago to last me a long while. And more excitement might start once I get my BA, hopefully in a year and a half's time. Because then, I might move with Samyah and Ilia to England, get married then, and work and study for my MA at the same time.
What's cool is that we won't have to pay rent, and won't have to buy a house. Sam's already set up. Liverpool!!!!! So I might be Liverpudlian in a few years... who knows?
Or I'll move back to the States and get married there. Ilia wants to live in Canada, but I think we'll have to work first, since it's hard to find work there, last I heard. But, if it's possible, and we both find work there quickly, and can manage to get an apartment and all that good stuff nice and quick, we might just go straight there, and forsake the MA.
I don't really know, we'll see I guess. Whatever turns up turns up, and we'll go with the flow.
Ilia and I were actually supposed to get handfasted by the end of this month... but if we want a proper ceremony, it's going to be expensive, since there's the dress, the trip to Wadi Rum, the food, the drinks, and a bunch of other stuff I'm too tired to think of right now... Well, it would be our handfasting, so we're supposed to pay for it. Sam was going to have me pay for her dress too, since it's custom to buy the bride's maid's (or whichever it is... I still mix up which is which) dress or whatever... but I think she realizes that Ilia and I are just as much college students as she is, and therefore, broke.
=D
I should be in bed right now, I'm very tired. I got off warcraft to go to bed, and now I don't feel like going to bed.
I saw a really cute picture of my brother cuddling a girl I met a couple of times and liked very much, Mandy. And then he called her sexiness in a comment... it was on facebook. Actually, he might have been calling himself sexiness... he can be kinda lame like that, I guess.
But it would be cool if they were together. My mom and stepdad seem to think they are, and they're not too happy... but I know how my parents can be. It's always more okay for the boy than the girl. So as long as she doesn't take away from his schoolwork, blah blah blah. If they knew I was with Ilia, they'd probably try to separate us.
Probably.
But then... Ilia's such a sweet guy, and I think my grandmother quite likes him. I mean, she's always saying nice stuff about Murad, and about how she admires his sense of responsibility and shit, and dropping hints about how I should consider him as a possible match...
But then, she never hears anything about how Murad carries my bag for me so I don't have to, or about how he walks me home at night to make sure I get home safe, or takes me in a taxi so he's sure I'm ok. Or about how he cooks for me (and everyone else, according to her) when we (really just me) are over at his house.
Well, she really trusts Ilia now - she didn't used to before. She stopped saying things like "he's not Arab or Muslim like us, you can't trust him". She actually prefers that I go home with him than anyone else, I think! And she's even expressed a wish to have him convert, because she likes him so much, and hinted that it would be nice if he and I got married IF he converted.
My maid... interestingly enough, is also rooting for me and Ilia...
She asked me when he and I were going to get married and have a baby. Next year, she said... xDDDDD
Hehe, I guess when you start writing, the words just start coming and you forget that you have other stuff to do. Well, I'm going to continue with going to bed, since it's late and I have an early class tomorrow.
