Wow! a lot books, ya? Well to make matters worse, i went shopping with my mother that very afternoon and bought ‘The Lovely Bones’ by Alice Sebold From ‘The Family Booshop’!! eek! so many books, SO little time!!!
Alrighty, let me tell you about Thursday!! So i went to the car boot sale thingie and bought a billion books (ok, 11!!) and as i was walking by a stall ‘Girls’ Night Out/Boys’ Night In’ caught my eye, i’ve been looking for that book for nearly a year (so you could only imagine how excited i was!!) There it was for 250fils (around 75cents?), waiting for me to pick it up and leave! As i stood there, trying to squeeze myself thru the masses of girls (ok, so there were about 4!! lol) i picked up the book and there he was, the guy standing at his stall, talking to the girls, smiling, and i mean SMILING!! He spotted me and attended to me straight away (isn’t that sweet?!) The girls left and the guy selling asked me if i liked books and for some reason i looked at my bag, afraid that the books i had already bought were overflowing from my bag! (they weren’t *phew*) So he asked for my name and i got his, let’s call him “F the book man”, “F” for short. So F kept on talking, and then he asked me a question, a question i never thought he’d ask!!! (i’m making this sound like a soap opera, right?!) lol…ok, so i’m being a little dramatic, let me live the part a little!!!
F asked me if i had a blog!! EEK!! i mean, it’s not everyday someone has asked me that question, as a matter of fact, NO BODY has asked me that question!!! ARGH!!! I couldn’t even look at his face, and i was erm…in denial, clutching at the book with my life, afraid that i was going to say something stupid, err…i mean, if F has read my blog, it means he knows every teeny weeny detail, eek!! How freaky! Right, so F, is a sweet guy, he said he enjoyed reading my blog, isn’t that sweet, and now i have a real-life fan! People, I’m loved! yey! F, you’re probably reading this, are you laughing or are you dreading the moment you asked me if i had a blog, well you knew i was going to write about what happened in here ;) hehehe…well i’m glad i know i have a real fan out there, one i get to see everyday :D
You know what i concluded after that encounter, that it’s easier typing out personal information and emotions, knowing that the ppl reading what you type don’t know who you really are. I love the secret identity, i love it when people try to figure out what the symbols mean, i love my parallel universe. Well, tell me..don’t you like it too? Writing about things you won’t tell people you know but share with the world, complete strangers?! Scary thought right, but we’re doing it anyways! wow!
F, (the sweetest guy i’ve met all week)–gave me the books i wanted for free! if that’s not sweet i dunno what is!! thanx a gazillion!) :D I’ll see you around university some time ;)
Righty, that was Thursday, let’s talk about Friday–o good God! M and i went to Marina Mall, we hadn’t gone there together in a month, eek! and of course, we shopped, shopped and SHOPPED!!! i bought a fragrant oil burner and ‘Fruity Violet’ oil from the Body Shop, it’s AMAZING!!! ;D We also went to Claire’s, M was looking at the head bands and i was just, well i wasn’t doing anything really, just watching her pick out cute butterfly head bands, so these two kids walked in, they weren’t older than fourteen, a girl and a boy. the girl started speaking in french and the boy responded back in english. She was trying on head bands as well…when she asked the boy what he thought of her head bands, he responded by saying:
“Oh My God! Like that is SO 1994!! Like, that was SO 11 YEARS AGO!!”
What did i do in a past life to deserve such torture?! LOL!! you could only imagine my face afterwards. When the “couple” left, M and i imitated them, yes in Claire’s *sigh* we could be so childish sometimes!
M and I came back to my place after the Marina Mall escapade, and we chilled here, had dinner and she left at around 10-ish, we were watching Identity, i still don’t understand what happened at the end!!! Anyways, i went to bed at around 11.45-ish, i’ve been awake since. Actually i’ve been awake since 10:30am yesterday, 24hrs 30mins ago, OMG!! what the hell have i been doing, well i couldn’t sleep so i started reading!! I read ‘The Lovely Bones’ it’s an amazing book, the genre will suit anybody. It’s gr8, so pop down to any bookstore close to you and GET IT!! it’s for 3.900KD (around $11.70) from The Family Booskshop. (if you’re wondering why i’m converting Kuwaiti Dinars into US Dollars, it’s because if ppl don’t know what Kuwaiti Dinar are, they’ve got US Dollars to relate to!!—smart, right ;p)
Well i’ve been rambling for what seems forever!! I’d better get my self to bed, i’ll probably get up in about 5 hrs because i’ve got my History Midterm on tomorrow and i need to study for it (THE HORROR, THE PAIN!!!)
