Amusing things

[wicked_danu]

In an interview with Salman Rushdie, the author of the controversial book The Satanic Verses, the interviewer Spiegel asks:

"SPIEGEL: Do you still remember the day when the fatwa was proclaimed. Do you mark its anniversary every year?

RUSHDIE: How could I strike that date from my memory -- it was Valentine's Day. That way at least I don't forget

hahaa.. i like rushdie. i saw an interview with him a few weeks ago with bill moyers where they discussed faith and reason. his grandfather was a very religious man... but also very tolerant of salman not believing

[wicked_danu]

I still have to finish reading The Satanic Verses.. I've put it on hold while I read The Messianic Legacy by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, the sequel to The Holy Blood And The Holy Grail.
I wonder if Rushdie's family was Sunni or Shi'ite.

im surprised you can find it in UAE. i would assume it would be more readily available in the UAE than saudi arabia but still...

[wicked_danu]

Oh, it's a downloaded version. I'd never find a hard copy of it here in the UAE.

I DID NOT CHOKE ON MY DINNER!! Or did I? :S

Ahh.. anyway.. that night was fun.. eps the dancing.. haha.. I loved trying to teach you to dance.. atleast you were a sport and stayed on the dance floor anyway.. and for that I *heart* you loads =)

Im so pissed about that fact tht this no co-ed thing is finally true.. oh well.. atleast Ive got Jenny and Lakshi with me even though the "Tripod's" presence shall be surely missed.. :(

Cya on the 6th! Ciaoziee Danu babes.. xoxo

[wicked_danu]

You choked on a morsel.. and Jenny said that. It's what I remember from dinner.

Man, dancing can be a lot of fun if you know it. It's just mild exercise if you don't know how to dance. And I heart you back.

Who have we ruthlessly named "The Tripod", now? I forget...

See you soon. Tell me if you want my Physics textbook.

[cutedevil_ash]

Well.. "The Tripod" consists of You, Abhi and Yousie.. the horrible and terrible threesome that make life a living misery for those that know them :P

The Fijix book is already promised to me by Abhi from a few weeks back.. Sorry! Im sure there are lots of others planning to take physics.. like Lakshi for example.

oooo! lip piercings are soo hawt on boys!! i saw his one boy with a seriously sexy lip and eyebrow piercing. i also know a boy who has one. its very very cute. i wish i had one!!

[wicked_danu]

Lip piercings are hot only on certain guys.. other guys would look positively ghastly with them.

[wicked_danu]

I dunno.. maybe I'll do it soon. I don't sit here all day doing nothing, you know!
Wait, that's a lie.

Photos coming soon.

Dancing for two hours straight? If you think that's tough, try dancing for two hours GAY! That's a challenge.

And I'm sorry to hear about the soon-to-be lack of co-ed classes. At least you can feel comfortable knowing that you'll be surrounded by lots of guys! Hey, statistically there should at least be a few whom you can hump, and even if not, there will be plenty to eye hump! And if all else fails, sling an e-mail my way and I'll enroll in your school! I'll be the cheeky new guy who plays by his own rules and always gets the girl (or guy, depending on my mood) but in the end comes to realize that rebellion isn't always what it is cracked up to be...but conveniently forgets that lesson and continues to rebel for quite some time. Then you and I will make a movie about it and live somewhat happily ever after. Or at least until the merchandising profits run dry. Ah, that would be the life.

If only they had parties here where I could dance two hours gay!

Whoa, you just spelled out a plan for my life after graduation this year! Let's do it. You contact Mr Spielberg [he goes to the same shul as you do, right?] and I'll find someone to do the sets and make-up.
