Updates

So it’s been a while, I know.
Goodness, so much has happened in the last couple of weeks. Good, bad, icky, heartbreaking, liberating, disheartening, elating, blah, blah, blah.
I know I haven’t been updating like I used to, and I’m not really sure why. I guess the best thing about blogging is that it’s optional. […]

Partially Solved

May 31st 2008 by Sou in Fun, Personal, Movies, Books, YouTube 19

I finally understand why female literature students swoon over Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I haven’t read the book yet, but instead, I watched the 2005 adaptation starring Keira Knightly. Why haven’t I read the book yet? Simple. For the last three years I’ve struggled to read […]

Vermillion

May 20th 2008 by Sou in Friends, Personal, Crazy, Music, Books, YouTube, University 8

I’ve been having dreamless sleeps for a while now, and I can’t help but wonder what’s causing this dream-drought. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I haven’t been feeling very well for a while. I hate this; hell, I’ve been hating a lot of things lately. […]

“For You, A Thousand Times Over”

May 9th 2008 by Sou in Personal, Movies, Books, YouTube 17

I watched The Kite Runner last night.
I can’t get “for you, a thousand times over” out of my head, I just can’t. Both times they were said in the movie made me tear.

Overall it was a great movie; unfortunately, I can’t really remember the exact details of the book because I read it […]

Catching Up

February 25th 2008 by Sou in Personal, Music, Books, University, Kuwait 11

Prior to my previous post, I hadn’t written anything for a little over two months. I’ve missed out on wishing you all a happy Christmas, Eid, New Year, etc. I suppose it was the transition into 2008 that I didn’t want. Perhaps it was a form of delicate denial? I had […]

Call Me Rudolph

Last week was fantastic! Last week was filled with Soska-Sou adventures - that and we ate heaps of candy! It all started at Soska’s movie night. I arrived at her house only to find out that the other guests decided not to come because of a football game (Men, what else should’ve […]

Relaxe, Calme-toi

April 10th 2007 by Sou in Friends, Fun, Personal, Crazy, Tag, Music, Books, YouTube, University, Kuwait 25

It’s been a few days, hasn’t it? I’m at uni right now and grrr, I want to go home. I’ve seemed to developed (again) the flu. With all the medication I’ve “collected” throughout the last few months, I now have a mini pharmacy.
Soska is back in the Emirates and a part of […]

Down Her Face They Pour

March 7th 2007 by Sou in Friends, Personal, Music, Books, Shopping, YouTube, University 39

I know I haven’t been doing anything but whine about university, but today…today was the last straw. Thirty minutes ago I fell flat on my face. It’s not like that doesn’t happen often (which it does) but my favourite jeans tore at the knee and I’m bleeding. Pain doesn’t even begin to […]

Tip, Top, Ready to Go

March 5th 2007 by Sou in Friends, Fun, Personal, Crazy, Music, Egypt, Books, YouTube, University, Kuwait 16

I’m not going to lie, I’m not going to lie, I’m not going to lie. A part of me actually misses the university I used to attend *sigh* I miss their working computers, the printers available in the blink of an eye, actual help…The list could go on forever, but then again, I […]
