Hermit no more

After what can loosely be termed as advice (or realistically as threats of violent bodily harm) if I don’t start blogging again. I have taken my virtual quill and parchments and started writing (if it can even be called that). Gosh were to start, well its been over 8months since I returned from Egypt. I have turned 24(yesterday actually).

I am enjoying my counselling course very much although it has turned me into a hermit and taken over my social life. I am still mourning the loss of the myf circles on Tuesday my spiritual and social hub…Its an utter killer.

I am getting married on the 19th of July to a friends brother and yes he is Somali, my fathers sense of relieve is soo obvious. Other then that really am not sure what else is happening except I have been told for someone who only has 3plus months left until the big day (what an odd title anyway) that am freakishly calm. I don’t see anything to get stressed about as of yet. Although things might change closer to the date although I feel in control so I doubt that.

I have taken to being a full time specy, I can’t seem to switch back to contacts although eventfully am sure I will break them and then go back to sticking bits of jelly like plastic in my eyes every morning.

That’s it jolly good people I am however looking forward to reading all your blogs and catching up on everyone’s lives

Naima,

Whats also freaky is how you refer to the future hubby as 'your friend's brother'. It sounds a bit strange... like you dont know him. Please tell me it isnt so!

BTW, good to see you writing! I've actually wondered what happened to you! good to know you're well..

FOC

NATIVE said...

lol @ 'friend's brother'. You make me laugh.
FOC...don't worry. She knows him, right Naima?

Why stress.....be cool, chill. Hope this doesn't mean that you go into panic overload on the day though lol

BTW....I can imagine your daddy's sense of relief that the brother is Somali lol

Glad you blogged sis....missed reading you. Keep blogging

Happy belated B'day
luv ya

well well well look who is back, woman dont do it again other wise i will kidnap sana, and hold him ransom until you write again.

so dudette my advice stay calm, i have less than 3 weeks and im relatively calm (i think) th eminuet you panic, most certainly the men in white coats will make an appearance, so dont think, my advice is dont think.

also the last month b4 the wedding, hibernate away from every one including family, it will do yoiu the world of good, trust me.

the last 3 weeks you will encounter countless family arguments over the most mundane things like the colour of the confetti, so hun stay the way you are and dont listen to peoples advice lol.

ok, breath sondes breath....

lol FOC, It Call him that to tease him, Native and whitey am sooo calm right now and just enjoying things, doing stuff like booking the venue, the honeymoon, looking for the dress, i feel like am on top of it all...so no stressing!

Whitey walahi sounds like sound advice, keep away from all of them when they start to loose their heads lol
