Ha.
I am so cool.
I just stole the car for a night out in Cairo, a three hour drive from alex.
And then i drove it back this morning in time for work, and had breakfast at six AM at On The Run before heading out.
neither of my parents know i went.
I am so cool that i even threw out all junk wrappers and tickets and any proof that i was anywhere outside alex.
Now this would probably sound cooler if i was sixteen and it was someone else's car, but the sad thing is i am almost 23 and i stole my own car.
i know. i am sad.
actually i like to think of myself as an overgrown adolescent.
i think that describes me perfectly.
The interview went great, in case you're wondering, and they said they'd call me to come in again so i could talk to the boss and finalise things.
here's an IM conversation i just had with Shady, to briefly describe the current state of mind i am in.
BlessGirl: Ha. I'm so cool. Tell me I'm so cool.
Shady:I bet you didn't go
BG: Now why do you have to be such a partypoopa wet blanket?
Here I am being all smug and happy and you want to rain on my parade. Who de girl? You de girl! Who de girl? You de girl!
S:You did not go.
BG: Muahahahahahahahahhhahaha.
I did. I rock.I am so cool.
Ha. I am de girl.
S: Prove it.
BG:Well come down with me and we will go to the trash can and I will take out my plastic bag with food litter from on the run in cairo this morning. I might have a receipt somewhere.
Ha.Sucker.I am so cool.
S:You came from to cairo to work?
BG:Yes and I fell asleep at two thirty am to Will and Grace. I was so tired even Jack being gay couldn't keep me up.
Which means I have had three hours sleep.
That combined with a breakfast of cheese flavored bugles and strawberry milk has made me extremely stupid.
Well more stupid than usual.
We would like to announce that should you wish to con me out of huge amounts of money or persuade me into doing something unreasonably silly (well at least sillier than the usual) this is the right time. Since all my defense mechanisms are down.
S:I suggest you call it a day and go home to sleep. You seem to need it.
BG:Why are you being so damp?
Whats wrong? Why cant you just be happy happy happy for me?
What's up grumpy?I feel like dori and you're marlin in finding nemo.You know what to do when youre feeling down?
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming! lalalalaaa
S: YOU ARE CRAZY. So how was the interview?
BG:The Who de girl? You de girl! Line is a cheap rip off from Madagascar the cartoon which I by the way, not to rub it in or anything, bought on dvd for 20le and watched on my amazing cheap dvd player.
S: HOW WAS THE INTERVIEW, I SAID.
BG: DO NOT YELL AT ME
I AM EXTREMELY SENSITIVE AND HAPPY.
IF YOU MAKE ME CRY YOU WILL BE VERY UNPOPULAR!
THOUSANDS OF LITTLE PEOPLE WILL SHAKE THEIR FISTS AT YOU THREATENINGLY!
*sniffle*
It went fine. I have to go back again to discuss contract with the boss.
S: And the Jazz Club?
BG:Went at twelve there was no boogie just a really good live band but we weren't in the mood so we went to dokki at abou ramez and had their oh-mygod-amazing chocolate feteer, and then went cruising around to garden city and past my old flat (got all nostalgic and teary eyed) then back to zamalek, watched the ali g show then will and grace then slept then woke up then got in car then stopped in on the run then drove to alex then came to work then sat down then opened emails then answered emails then surfed net then emailed shady then answered shady help me I cant stop you have to stop me
S:Who's we? And how could you not think of bringing me back chocolate feteer.
BG:Me and my friend. And ma3lesh you weren't exactly on the top of my list of people I should buy chocolate feteer for [snaps fingers in aggressive black woman style] especially since you cowardly backed out of doing something fun and spontaneous for once in your life and left me all alone in a car for three hours singing and talking to myself to stay focused just because it "wasn't the right day."
S:But who is this friend. Whoever S/he was couldn't have been as fun as me.
BG:Listen you little carrot I am getting irritable and tired and I need food before I crash like a computer with a bad flu do you want to meet me for a break or is that too sudden and spontaneous to ask you?
Conclusion: i can be quite irritating when i'm hyper. But it's more fun when i have someone to be hyper WITH.
