Saladin: Rape is a really distasteful thing to joke about.

It's beyond being just distasteful...

You probably have to know something about hockey to understand why this one is so farfetched, but here it is. Understand that my best friend lives in Buffalo, I live in Chicago, and we're both big hockey fans.

Me: So what did the Sabres do with Vanek?
Best Friend: Oh, they traded him to Colorado.

Best Friend: Hey, the Sabres got Brian Campbell back! Plus we got this new guy! He's actually from Buffalo, his name is Patrick Kane. He scored like four points in his first NHL game!
Me: ................................... ............Dude, I don't even know where to begin telling you everything that's wrong with what you just said.

My friend was talking about the reserve she spent her summer at.

Other friend: I guess they were nice to you 'cause you're Black, right?
Everybody else:
Her: Well, like... they wouldn't be as receptive to a White person, right? Considering the oppression Aboriginals have faced at the hands of the White man.


Oh, man...

i had a 20 minute long conversation with a (i think) mildly senile (oh man i'll feel bad if that's not true, but that's what i thought) 91 year old man who walk-er-ed into our office yesterday afternoon. he commented about he doesnt hold to overly orthodox beliefs, either, when i shook his hand initially (at that point all i told him was my name). he also gave me his business card and a mini flyer on how the US government is out to get us all (apparently made by a muslim guy who gives khutbas on massachusetts avenue on fridays at 1). hilariously, this old man (who has visited our office before and apparently can talk for hours) is on google maps- look up vernon schroeder in dc. the back of his business card reads: i moved to this confused city in 1997 from the midwest, having caught a different attitude in 1930 in bismarck, north dakota, at a norwegian lutheran church. but washington had been swept into secularism, individualism, hopelessness! here we are in bondage, to money! we need a new voice, via television, that can proclaim hope!

working on capitol hill is a trip.

I was wearing a red shawl as a hijab, a blue and black dress, black dress pants and silver (with some red) pointy-toed sandals. It was mostly all black, so I wanted to throw some colour in there too, with the red and silver.

I was wearing a black jacket though, so all he could see was: red hijab, black jacket, black pants, shoes.

Maybe my shoes turned him on? They are pretty sexy.
Or maybe it was the red hijab.

It had to be the Hijab LOL

But I love red hijabs.
I refuse to stop wearing them.

Funniest thing anybody's ever said to me was today.

Friend: Don't you check your e-mail?



It's funny because 1) I check my e-mail constantly and 2) He never sent me the e-mail in the first place. Wow...

A bunch of my friends and I were in a big mall here...downtown. We had a few minutes to kill (we were waiting for a couple of us to finish going to the bathroom and whatnot), so we just sat down in the foyer to play Stella Ella Ola. We do this a lot.

But anyway, this guy comes by... stops and stands there, pointing his cell phone camera at us.

One of my friends is like "Look, guys, we're gonna end up on YouTube!"
The guy with the camera was like "Oh no, I'm just taking a picture."

I keep forgetting that kids don't get sarcasm. One student went home and told his father that I weigh 500 lbs. When his father came in for parent-teacher conference he mentioned that tidbit to me.

Parent: _____ said you weigh 500 pounds. *laughs*
Me: *embarrassed laugh* Kids will hold you to everything!

It's a clapping game. You sit or stand in a circle. Everybody's right hand goes on top of the person on their right's left hand and everybody's left hand goes under the person on their left's right hand.

So then you sing the song and at every beat, your right hand has to clap down on the person on your left's right hand. The last beat of the song (usually when you sing the number 10) determines which person gets out that round. If you're able to hit the hand of the person next to you, then you win and if you can't ('cause they move their hand away fast), then you lose, and the circle gets smaller and smaller till you have one winner.

I never win.

Here, you might as well watch a game:
YouTube - stella ella ola

And we weren't really creeped out, 'cause he said he had been talking about it with somebody the night before and he wanted to show them how it's played. *shrug*

Meraj, you're crazy.

Wouldn't have worked 'cause we were a pretty mixed group, ethnicity and gender-wise, haha. Or maybeee...
