The Occasional Blogger

My therapeutic blog into my world of thoughts, emotions, experiences, and ideas as I explore the hows and whys of life and other general blabber. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

Things You Don't Know About Me

Tagged by Alluring.
They were supposed to be 5 but I got carried away. ;)


1. I have absolutely no interest in chocolate or any sweets for that matter. Walking down the candy aisle in the supermarket doesn't move me. Pickles, however, are a different story. ;)


2. I look much younger than I actually am. When I wear my hair in a pony tail and wear no makeup, I can easily pass for a teenager. I get a lot of "Enti fi sana kam ya habibti? (What grade are you in, sweetie?)
My husband hates it because it makes him look like a pedophile.


3. My deepest fear is for my son to ever get into drugs. I've lost so many people I've known to drugs (both physically and mentally).


4. I think Sharm El Sheikh is heaven on earth.


5. I'm prejudiced against veiled people. I can't help it. My mind automatically paints a negative image.


6. I have never understood advanced math like Calculus. God knows how I ever passed it. My mind was always more artistically-inclined than scientifically.


7. I once beat up a guy when I was 11. He made fun of me so I punched him in the nose. He punched me back. He almost broke my nose.


8. I have really small feet. (I wear size 4.5 US size and 35 Egyptian size.) Sometimes I have to buy shoes that are slightly bigger than my feet out of finding no other choice.


9. I dream of travelling on my own (or with my husband alone) again to Europe, the Far East, Australia (without a kid- the really far distances would be really hard on a 3 year old.)


10. I'm afraid to watch horror films. I can't sleep for days if I do and I become a big baby.


11. I have a terrible fear of heights. I actually get dizzy and nauseaus.


I'm gonna shutup now.

I tag Sukie, Usual Suspect, Seneferu (where is your blog?), Halal Hippie. and I know Forsoothsayer and Carmen have already been tagged. So we're waiting for yours, OK?

The blog is back on. Others have tried tags on me and failed, my friend. (It's partly because I'm restrained, and partly because my life really isn't that interesting:-) But I will consider it:) LOL@no. 7, especially him punching you back. Kids. 4.5?? I suppose that's not odd for girls though.

Couldn't stop at 5 either!
You have such small feet- I'm a size 10 and I have to buy men's runners because the women's ones don't fit me.Do you know how embarrassing that is! My husband's shoes are just a little too small for me!
Agree with number 5.
Agree with number 9 -but actually do it all the time- love travelling on my own. Last year travelled 5 times interstate or OS. Your kid will grow up soon enough and then you will wonder where your little pumpkin has gone!

Wow! What a fun post! I love things like this. I enjoyed reading as I got to know a bit about you. Interesting. :)

You wear size 4.5? I have you beat! I wear a size three. Not to mention, i'm only ninety pounds and can still fit kids clothing. What's more, my best friends insist that they carry me around and tickle torture me for fun whenever they see me. I have to confess that I love all the attention. I did used to hate it but now love it. I just rough house with them back. I get to ride in the carts in grociery stores and play on the playground with kids. I'll always be a child at heart and not be judged for it as people expect it of me now.
