Breakstone Lake is the closest body of water to the Xavier Institute where I work, unless you count the swimming pool. The days are warmer now, so we take Gabi out to the lake for a picnic on the weekends if the weather's nice. The dog comes, too, and lazes around in the sun. It's starting to become one of my favorite ways to spend a spring afternoon.
Normal is boring. Quiet is boring. I prefer loud, fun, and if not actually an adventure than definitely as far from normal as I can get. I've repeated days more than twenty times to fill them with interesting things. It's just how I'm wired.
1. I was first arrested when I was twelve. I've been arrested dozens of times since, but the charges have never stuck. 2. My dad made absolutely no secret about my having been dumped in his arms at the...The only pet I ever had was a canary when I was five. It started screaming whenever I came near and eventually I gave it away. 10. I made up a snake language when I was seven. I forget most of it now
My Mother was Arabic and while I've never met my father, I was told he was European I was born in Giza, but grew up in Cairo I have always stood out among the other women of Cairo due to my... It a rare day that I do not wear heels. Being only 154 cm tall, I find it helps people to take me more seriously. My favorite colors are warm earth tones, especially golds and reds.
1. I was born in New York. 2. I lived in Los Angeles for several years until I moved back. 3. I used to be a flight attendant. 4. Now I'm an administrative assistant at a private school. 5. I love to travel. 6. I have a tattoo. 7. My husband is Cajun and grew up in New Orleans. 8. Our daughter is six months old. 9. We have an Australian Shepherd and an Egyptian Mau. 10. I never graduated college.
(I am eight at the time. I have never been arrested, never been dragged home in handcuffs for vandalism, or theft, or disturbing the peace. That will come later.) "What are you doing?" I look over my... "The law is stupid." "The law is what keeps you safe at night." " I keep me safe at night," I say. "Erik, go watch TV and let me finish this." I sigh and grumble, but eventually I do leave
Aryn, trying to figure out why I was taking her picture yesterday: Our 5 month old jelly bean Gabi: I don't necessarily see these two every day, but damn near. Haven't seen 'em in a while actually, considering Aryn, Gabi and I've been in Jamaica, but here's 'Ro and Logan: He don't really like havin' his picture taken... Don't think she even knew someone snapped a picture
I'm probably gonna annoy people with the 'my husband' thing until it doesn't sound weird to my own ears or make me grin like a fool. Actually, it will never not make me grin like a fool. And the not sounding weird to my own ears thing could take a while, just so you know. :P Gabi will be five months old on Friday. Five months. Already. Where the hell did the time go?
This is Nephra. Technically not a person, but she is my friend, and I see her every day. Wesley - We might not see each other every single day, but close to it I don't think he actually knows that I snapped this picture of him with my phone a couple of weeks back. I will neither confirm nor deny I am using it as my wallpaper
