Barely Legible

…so you start writing, just like that, mid-sentence, mid-thought, mid-???…fumbling blindly with a pen & paper (not metaphorically blindly, although…) in a darkened corner of your room, late at night, sacrificing legibility for the sake of not interrupting your flow…there’s something about light that a moment in space & time when you need things to just be still for a moment so you can gather all these…emotions, sensory inputs…inputs, nuances…no interruptions…which also explains the need for a pen & paper over your keyboard…your keyboards kills – scratch that – your keyboard stifles something about the whole process that, for some reason, needs to feel more organic…hell, if I had a twig and some fresh mud, I’d be writing in that instead. Even charcoal on a cave wall must have seemed a little too advanced for early man at some point in histo…at some point in this time-loop…continuum? Then, just as easily, randomly as it started in the middle of a…something…just as easily, it all comes to an abrupt -

NB: Wrote this while half asleep, sorry…not just barely legible, but also barely comprehensible!

25 Things...

1. I would trade all the qwerty in the world for a pen and paper.

2. iLove my iPod to bits, but iThink Mac-culture is arrogant and not as alternative as it claims to be (it's just good marketing, yo, open up your eyes!)

3. My name was supposed to be Nura :-S yeah, I know. And although I love the meaning of my real name, I always thought "3anoud" suited me better.

4. I could easily fall under any spell if it came in Maynard James Keenan's voice.

5. I have a not-so-secret love of cheesey disco music.

6. The only verse of poetry I ever really memorized was "turning and turning in the widening gyre, the falcon cannot hear the falconer, things fall apart, the centre cannot hold, mere anarchy is loosed upon the world"...I'm almost sure that's Yeats :-S

7. I know I'm not the only one, but when I'm singing in the shower, I honestly feel that the world is at my feet.

8. When I get sick, I normally laugh like Mutley...

9. As an inside joke, my family calls me "Tungush"...although nobody remembers why, or how the name came to be.

10. Both my middle fingers are crooked as bananas...but still manage to look elegant to me...it escapes logic...

11. I'm allergic to two of the things I love most: cats and sand. Yes. No other allergies. Just those.

12. I cut my own hair because I despise salon-culture. (Copy-pasted clones, much?)

13. For someone who spends so much time fussing over and fuxing with her nails out of sheer habit...they sure do end up bleeding and looking like crap 80% of the time.

14. My right middle toe is just the tiiiiniest bit longer than the rest of my toes. This does not, for some reason, apply to my left foot.

15. I'm afraid of heights...but can't seem to stay away from the edges of rooftops.

16. I am humming three different songs as I type this. not because they sound anything alike or are in any way related, but because I can't decide which I'd rather listen to (Incubus "Punchdrunk", Nina Simone "Ain't Got No...I Got Life" & Serj Tankian "Lie, lie, lie")...this tends to happen to me a LOT.

17. Sometimes there is nothing funnier than a single random word ('butter' comes to mind)...yet I will often forget having ever found a particular word funny.

18. I swear like a sailor in english. People who first meet me never see it coming (innocent face or something?). I only ever swear in Arabic with people who do the same. No, there is no reason for this.

19. "Whose line is it anyway?" is the funniest show ever aired on TV. Period.

20. I consider myself priveleged, not spoilt. I may not always be happy, but I am always thankful.

21. I think my pride will be the end of me. Ironically, I think the same thing of my humble insignificance.

22. I have slight OCD about where things are supposed to go and how they should be placed. But once my room is a mess, it's a mess for months, and I stop caring altogether...till I tidy up and the OCD kicks right back in.

23. Nothing surprises me more than learning something new about myself...is it still possible after all this time?

24. I love nothing more than sleeping in and bumming around doing nothing...which is exactly why I need to keep two jobs and not be completely useless to myself and the universe.

25. This list came together pretty easily...but I can't for the life of me think of a good enough fact to fill slot number 25...this will probably keep me up all night (aaaah, there it is!).
...and a friend of mine added these little gems:
-You love Food... to you it's better than ... well a lot of things :)-You do not sugarcoat anything.. you can't.
-You say "Sorry bas ya3ni...." a lot :)
-You know how to have a good time.
-Waking you up at 5:00 AM requires a considerable amount of effort:D
-You give pet names to everything you think is cute :D
