Mirth and Melancholy

I made cupcakes on Friday. Because I was bored and hungry.  I'll probably post pictures of them later because I'm on a different computer and all of the cupcake pictures are on my FB and I'm lazy. Anyway. Yesterday I joined S and Z for their acupuncture appointment. Then, um, we went shopping at Sprouts. Then, we went home and I got ready for my teen writing class in a library in the city 10 minutes' drive away. I read my last weeks' homework and read too fast, mostly because my lips weren't working and my heart was beating too fast. Then, after class, I went home, chilled, did math, then went to the masjid for the community iftaar. I brought food with me this time cuz the day before, we missed dessert because the people who serve the food NEVER ANNOUNCE WHEN DESSERT IS BEING SERVED. I mean, well... probably because they know everyone will stampede over and not everyone will get enough... anyway, I brought one of my cupcakes to the iftaar and shared it wit...

Moving on from where I dropped off... Saturday, June 13, 2015 OMG THIS DAY WAS HILARIOUS. At Al-Hikmah class at the masjid, we were calmly having class. The teacher was talking, and suddenly the alarm went off. The teacher trailed off and said, "...I didn't do that..." And I was trying to be cool and all so I fought with myself to keep a straight face (I have no idea what to do in serious situations) while the teacher told everyone to quietly and calmly leave the masjid. I brought all my stuff with me even though I think I wasn't supposed to, because some little girls didn't even bring their shoes. And we all piled out of the masjid and stood in the parking lot, where the little girls' little feet burned up. One of them was wearing socks and said that the ground wasn't that hot. And this girl yelled, "You're wearing socks, that's why!" Then we were called back inside. My sister told me that some kid either called a false alarm, or th...

Heeey it looks like this blog has not been touched since June 4th... mar dee mar har. That is... thirteen days! Haha! Haha! Y'all have been bored for thirteen days!! HAAHAA!! Why is that funny. I don't think anything happened since June 4th, so today I'm going to post a short post and disappoint you all. Jaykay. I remember going to ... OHMYGOD NVM!! Things DID happen! Let's have a screaming party about Ramadan being tomorrow if God wills it.  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!INSANITYDETECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! June 11, 2015 Nuffing happened until night came. Kbar took S, SA, MA, and I to a place called YogurtZone so we could spend some quality time before Kbar visited NY for Ramadan. As usual, I acted like a weirdo myself and SA sent me into a case of my chronic laughter. I'm pretty sure Kbar thought I was insane and an embarrassment to her sanity. Sorry Kbar. When we were heading back to Kbar's minivan thing, I joked about wanting to sit in the trunk, bu...

Everything is creepy. For one thing, I always blog here every Thursday. That's creepy. For another thing, I found myself baking every Wednesday. I assume the reason was probably because I had no classes on Wednesday. Well, now that Ummi has graduated from Bayyinah and most of my classes are over, I don't have Wednesdays to myself anymore. I can't remember the last time I baked. For another thing, my sister and I always use the same color hijab when we're getting ready to go somewhere. It's either her wearing red first or me. It's never on purpose. That's what makes it creepy. I'm actually a pretty superstitious person, and I think my sister and I share some sort of mental link. Telepathy or whatever. Anyway, too much has happened, and I haven't found the time or peace to get down and write. It's hard enough when everyone usually hangs in the living room, which is also where the computers are. And I don't like people watching me write. I...
