Some thoughts

[wicked_danu]

I might be working at the EdUKEx [Education UK Exhibition] at the end of this month. It's organized by the British Council. Hoorah!

Mr Paul gave us a free period today. The last period was his, but since we begged so much, he didn't teach anything. We're such lazy schmucks.

During and after iftar, I was watching this documentary sort of thing on

You managed to write an entire conversation without saying "Shalom!" Or did I miss it?

[wicked_danu]

:D You didn't miss it. I'm surprised you read it at all. I used 'halo' [Hello] instead of 'Shalom' [Peace].

hello there

Hello there!
good point you made ova there about the NASA space project but it's not exactly right to say that the Taliban guys don't know the difference between a kite and spaceship; common sense and intelligence have got nothing to do with race, upbringing or education, it's not like i'm one major Taliban supporter or anything but hey their ppl too; and people have the capacity to do what eva they wanna...

mr paul is a nice guy! it's cool you have at least one teacher who listens to you! Warran sucks big time, he's so pisst at us for reasons only God' knows, it’s not like we can help it that we are stupid (of course your not included in that aspect considering your math marks)

You should be glad Ramadan’s over, it's hell without food! Besides, since its almost over we might as well look on the bring side of things! n'way just commented cause your entry was snappy (in the good sense) and i'm utterly bored!

Take care
tootes!

Hello, schoolmate

Ok, your conversation is much better than mine, mainly because your vocabulary and grammar is better, but even the story is more interesting.
I had limited space to write in my Hebrew textbook :( Or I'd have made you say a lot more things :)

Whoa...Daniyal, you're teaching yourself Hebrew?? Damn! I thought you were taking classes for it. I don't know any Hebrew at all but having attempted to learn three languages myself, I know it's not easy. So it's so awesome that you're basically teaching yourself and apparently, doing so well at it! Good for you! You do indeed, rock. :D

Aw, man! Eid won't start for us until the 3rd or 4th, depending on when the moon decides to show itself.

So...what religious arguments did you have THIS time?!? :-P

I remember when the shuttle explosion happened. :-( I'd just woken up on February 1st and was horrified to see it on the news. It reminded me of the Challenger explosion in January 1986, when I was 8 years old, and I remember that quite distinctly as well.

I was reading about the Israeli astronaut, Ilan Ramon, who was on the shuttle, and how he took with him a little Torah scroll that had survived the Holocaust into space. I remember reading how some people were bringing up the story in the Midrash of the rabbi put to death by the Romans for studying and teaching the Torah: they wrapped a Torah scroll around him and set him on fire. One of his students approached and asked, "Rabbi, what is it that you see at this terrible moment?" . . .to which the Rabbi replied, "I see that the parchment is burning, but the Holy Letters, are wafting up to Heaven, intact." :-(

Eid's on Thursday here.. but my mom's celebrating a day earlier because the Bohris go by a set calendar and stick their tongues out to the moon

[layla1188]

They actually flagellate themselves on Laylat al-Qadr? *boggles* Then again, standing for 1 1/2 hours of Taraweeh prayers could be considered self-flagellation...

[wicked_danu]

Bohris flagellate themselves [do the rhythmic maatam] at any given occasion.. they're crazy about it. Sometimes they use weapons like swords and chains to hit themselves. It's a big bloody mess.

I'm glad ramadan is over...fruit salad makes me sad. =) Your butt was beginning to get huge as well...

xxoxox,
pebs

[wicked_danu]

Fruit salad is so good! You're prob'ly not using the right fruits. Plus, as far as I know, the only vegetarian material you consume is the olive in a martini :þ
