It sucks to be a nerd:

I finished The Lovely Bones in one night. Couldn't put it down.

So now I'm browsing Ye Olde Bookshelves trying to figure out what I want to read.

I really, really should read The Chronicles of Narnia since I have to take a final exam on it, but I know those books backwards and forwards. :(

I did have a copy of The Gospel According To Biff

Yay for The Lovely Bones, eh? Sad story, though, but I loved it!

Wow to the curfew, though. :/ What the hell, you're not 16 anymore! Geezes...

[margots_coat]

Yeah...and he just called and told me if anyone goes to China Blue (a club here) afterwards, I shouldn't go.

Like no, FOR REAL??? Cause I was gonna throw on my clear heels and work it! (ha!)

He says it's his "responsibility" to make sure I don't do anything, but he treats me like a kid.

Shit. I didn't even HAVE curfews when I was 16.

Okay well technically I did. I never took them seriously, though.

[steveshot]

:/ What?

lol... good for you! Do it!

Please... seriously. :/ That's so sad.

lol... I still have curfew.. sort of? Mostly I just tell my rents when I'll be back... midnight... one o'clock... two o'clock... just so they don't worry about me. I don't think I'll be calling it a curfew, though.

lol... I never really had. lol... case by case basis. :)

Zomg, a curfew o__O! I think he is getting to be a little possessive. He is passing on the traditional treatment of women in Islam =/ "Don't go anywhere. You stay here. Don't talk to this person."

I'm 20 and my only forbidden thing is to leave the house without getting married, as well as the other Islamic beliefs. Marrying someone I don't fucking know isn't going to help me =/
Ew...having sex with some strange dude.. Ew.

[margots_coat]

Yeah um...your parents will probably hate me for saying this?

HAVE SEX WITH YOUR FIANCE BEFORE YOU MARRY HIM. PERIOD. NO EXCEPTIONS.

You don't want to sleep with someone on your wedding night only to find that they SUCK.

Good sex is a necessity if a marriage is going to work. I mean even once you've been married for oh-so-long (however long that is, it's different for every couple - for the sake of argument let's say five years), and you never have sex anymore, at least you know when you DO it will be good. :D

Okay, moving along. Yes, he is getting more possessive. I think he's thinking, "If I stick around more, we're more likely to bond, and if I am not there, she is more likely to get into trouble, and if she does it will be my fault because I am her husband."

Problem with that way of thinking is, he makes me sound and feel like a kid. Likewise, never going out and having "me" time makes me resentful and angry. So the cycle goes.

[dalyax]

Haha. No :( Any intimacy before marriage is a total taboo.
BUT...Muslim men get away with that, and the girls do NOT. It's another stereotype in Islam, gender inequality.
If fornication was committed by either gender, it should be taboo for BOTH of them, not just for the "shy-virgin-girl". And that is Islamic law, but MANY Muslim families do not raise their kids this way..
I hope Allah will punish all of these Muslim families that claim they are religious, but they fail to raise both genders equally.. This causes tons of problems in the long run.

I see his tactic XD. He is gonna be around lots more to claim your attention!

My brother leaves the house at like 1 in the morning to "go see friends" and then comes back at 4 in the morning. Nobody says a damn thing. If I were to do that shiet, I would be a total shame. He constantly makes noise (burps, farts, coughs obsessively, plays music) and nobody says anything =/

[margots_coat]

Your brother sounds like quite a catch.

Oh, whoops.
