What's Going to Happen?

According to C. Rice, Syria is endangering peace and frustrating regional people's aspirations.Read full article here. Fucking pricks that they are.It's a conspiracy... I'm telling you.Unfortunately, it's not our time. Assad is playing with fire... probably looking for a rat hole to hide in. Arabs can be so dumb... But the truth of the matter is that we're really not stupid. But who's to prove it. All we do is argue. We can't even agree to disagree. There is no standard. With us, it's either my way or the gas chamber (if we're powerful enough).There is no middle ground. And so, it leads to movies like: Kingdom of Heaven where a war hero, honest and good, such as "Saladin" will probably be embellished with vulgarity and hatred, dishonesty and evil. That's the power of Hollywood, you know. (By the way, the man who plays Saladin in this movie is a very prominent Syrian actor).We'll have to wait to see how he is portrayed in this movie.

I love men...

I love men. I do, I love everything about a man -- except for his penis. I think it's the ugliest... "thing"... creation... whatever... and yet, without it, I don't know how I could love a man so much. It's ironic... that I love men so much because of all that testosterone. Yet the place from where testosterone comes is, in my opinion, just so... ugly. And sometimes, it too often replaces his mind. But that's ok... during one physical condition. That's not to say that a vagina is any more glamorous. But with women it's different.... We're better than men, in that sense. We just have more sense. We are just better, somehow in separating sex from real life...But somehow....Today I was driving and while I'm in the car, I look to my left and there is the most pulchritudinous of men steering the wheel and mmm, I so wished I was that wheel. There's something about the way men drive that just makes me, as Ashlee Simpson would say, "La La". Maybe it's all that control that they inevitably possess the minute they get in the car - the necessary control - the kind of control that if he loses focus, he might crash and die. Now... if only I can just claim that kind of dictatorship over the next man, then to hell with the ugliness of his penis. It's ok if I don't make sense... It's been a long day and I'm in need of some strong arms... I rarely feel alone, but sometimes...

I hate when ...

I hate when people look at me like they don't understand how it is that I'm an Arab. While I was getting my hair permed this morning, my stylis apparantly felt that it was occasion for casual chitchat and said, "So, what part of Italy did you say you were from?"When I told her I'm not Italian, she didn't say anything... She just kept doing whatever it was she was going to my hair. Then five minutes later, she said, "Oh, I'm sorry. You're Polish, right?""No.""German?""No.""Ok, ok, don't tell me, I can get this. I'm very good at this. I always guess my clients' backgrounds!!!"She thinks hard, then says, "Ohhh! Spanish!! How could I have missed it! You're name is even Salma!!!! Like what's her name, the actress lady, Hayek something or other!! Salma Hayek, that's it. Yes, Spanish, you know, I can be so silly. So... Which part of Latin American are you from?""I'm not from Latin America." "Oh, well, of course - I meant Spain."The truth of the matter was that I could have ended the whole thing and just told her that I'm 100% Syrian, but I just wanted to see how far she would go with it. Call me mentally masochistic if you want -go ahead, I don't mind. It's the nearest thing to the truth. But torturing myself wasn't the issue. It was more that I'd thought maybe she'd decide to stop guessing and realize how retarded she was being and ask me, 'So where ARE you from'? But she went on... She named every country on the map - even Latvia, Belarus, Belgium... every country except any in the Middle Eastern area... Then, when she said Turkey, and I'm surprised she did say turkey... I said she was close... At which point, she stopped cutting my hair altogether and sat down in a chair nearby to think. Ya habeebee!FINALLY, when I realized I wasn't getting the headache from all the chemicals on my scalp, but from her, I said, "I'm from Syria.""Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," and she got back up to complete her job. Then she said, "I wasnt thinking from "there"... Well, I mean, you're so fair-skinned... By the way, we've got a tanning bed here if you want to cover up some of those veins on you arms, hon... Anyway, I just didn't think Sy... Is that the same country next to the country from the news? 'Aye-rak'? Yes, I think so... You know, on FOX, you see people just so much darker... Hm... But, I mean... so - what part of Europe is your other half?""The Sudan," I said.

Chan...

Changed my mind. I'm not going to change the name. I can't think of a good one... Arabianrose it stays... for now.

ALERT!!! Name Change!

Okay, all you fans of mine out there...I'm creating a new account because I want to change the name... I don't like "ArabianRose" it's cliche in my mind. And it's getting rather annoying as well. And it's not Arabic enough... And it's not "me" enough. So... I'm thinking of changing to:Sahafeeyeh_Majnooneh(crazy journalist) Yes, I like that.K, the change begins now!~Me!

www.cnn.com U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said today that Iran must live up to its international obligations to halt its nuclear program or the next steps are in the offing. "And I think everybody understands what the 'next steps' mean," Rice told reporters after a meeting with NATO foreign ministers and European Union officials. In his state of the union address, President Bush singled out Iran as "the world's primary state sponsor of terror -- pursuing nuclear weapons."

What kind of disease are you?Salma:

nightlife

The nightlife in Salamanca Thanks to its University, this city is a perfect place for going out for a good time. People say that the best cities in Spain for night life are Santiago, Salamanca and Granada. And if noisy bars are not for you, Salamanca also has lots of sidewalk cafes where you can enjoy a quiet drink and a chat. * Going out during the school yearUsually students go out just at weekends. You can enjoy yourself going out from Thursday to Saturday.Salamanca is so full of good places to go for a night out that it is not easy to offer specific advice. If you go out on Thursday you can find bars with special offers (parties, second drink free, etc.) and you can finish off the night at a disco.On Friday or Saturday you will find most places full of people, so choosing one spot or another is up to you. In some bars on Friday nights you get your second drink free (in Pino, for example).If you like rock, punk and that sort of thing, you will want to go to La Iguana, Paniagua, Chao, or Rivendel. And to top off the evening, there is of course El Potenkim, and later (after 6:00 a.m.) El Contrastes (not the place for you if you don’t like crowds). There is also a variety of spots for other types of music. * Going out in SummerIn summer there are fewer people, but there are more foreign visitors, who tend to like to go out every night. They frequent places like Camelot, Puerto de Chus, Submarino, Moderno, Cum-Laude and El Sol. The most popular meeting point is "the Litro Bar" (not its real name) on the corner near Morgana.As a foreign student you can take advantage of lots of cheap drinks (not always of particularly good quality), along with parties and special promotional nights at certain places.Discounts are available in summer, at El Helmántico, for example. Another interesting thing in summer in Salamanca (and in Spain in general) is the large number of local festivals. In August there are a lot of local festivals in the towns around Salamanca, while the Salamanca festival starts on the 8th of September and finishes on the 21st.SO... are we going during the school year, or during the summer????

The city of Salamanca The province of Salamanca situated in the South-west corner of Castile & León on the borders with extremadura and Portugal, covers an area of 12,336 sq. km (4,763 sq. m.). Lying on Spain's Northern Plateau (meseta), it forms part of the Duero river system where Paleozonic soils, poorly suited to cultivation, have resulted in a landscape of pastures, dotted with trees and bushy undergrowth. Winters tend to be relatively long, with minimum temperatures averaging around 6ºC (42,8ºF), while the shortish summers are marked by average highs that never climb above 20ºC - 22ºC (68ºF-71ºF). The city is large enough (180.000 inhabitants) to be able to offer the advantages of a real city, but at the same time it keeps the intimacy of a village. In Salamanca, the inhabitants speak the "purest" Spanish in Spain - Castilian. For this reason Salamanca is enormously popular with people all over the world who want to learn Spanish. Contacts are made easily. You don't have to make rendezvous as you are bound to see everyone in the Plaza Mayor, one of the finest squares in Spain and known as the living room of the Salamantinos. As there is such a varied range of nationalities, it is tempting to keep to fellow don Quijote students. Salamanca is however, a real university city, Spanish students are everywhere and you can go practically everywhere on foot. SO EXCITED!

This is what I am...

<td>You are a Fork.You are special, unique... and shiny.... but you just don't know it. Many admire you for your outward appearance, but you haven't truly expressed all of the great stuff inside of you. You have the potential to do great things and help others, and this will help you in the future. When you hold a grudge at someone, however, this can be dangerous. Despite your calmness that most people perceive about you, you keep a lot of feelings bottled up inside that one day can make you explode and stab something. Instead of resorting to that, you can say, "Go Fork Yourself!"Most compatible with: Knife, and Sock.Click here -- What Random Object Represents Your Inner Self?</td>*rolls the eyes* If this is what I am, then Bruce Willis is my lover. Not that I would want him to be... But just so you all can consider the absurdity of this shite.

This is ridiculous

I now have about five email addresses, three websites, and about four web blogs... (of which ALL are used and constantly updated!) SO... basically... I am now officially an internet junkie.l8r.L8R?????? Good God.

Grades Are IN

Frankly my dears, I don't give a damn...So I didn't do so well I had hoped. So what am I to do? Ummm. I think I'll sing an Audrey Hepburn song."I could have daaaanced all night, I could have daaaaaanced all night,And still have begged for more.I could have spread my wings,and done a thousand thingsI've never done before!I'll never know,What made it soexciting.Why all at once, my hear took flight!I only know when he,began to dance with meI could have danced, danced daaaaaaaanced-ALLLLL NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"There. That should put me in the mood for the holiday spirit. Not to mention the birthday spirit. I'll just do better next semester... Well, being that I only have about three semesters left to do better, I think I kind of have to do better next semester. Kenito, how did you do for Social Problems???? LAtaz.

If he only knew...

If he knew how much control he had over my emotions, he would by no doubt consider himself the most powerful dictator that ever lived...BUT - finals are over. So now I won't be able to feel so guilty about thinking about him so much....

Can't upload a stupid photo.

Ok, so for my second entry...I can't seem to upload a fucking photo, and it's getting me really pissy-like. I'm supposed to be studying for my history final, but I seem to be too into this thing... for some... odd reason. K, well, I have to get off the internet, or I'm going to fail every class I have.~Me
