Friend: I’m a nice guy.
Tololy: That’s good. I like nice guys. I mean, mean guys are not nice, therefore, I don’t like them.
Friend: Well said.
Tololy: You get the idea.

From this day on, I shall limit all communication with other humans to the written form.

Jongar is identical to Ebichu, the famous anime hamster who keeps the house for her mistress. The only real difference between Jongar and Ebichu is that Jongar does not talk or do household chores, and he is male. He also did not have his own show, up until now.

My brother got a hamster too, and called him Hazza3. In the following video which I created tonight, conveniently titled Jongar and Hazza3: The Wheel is Mine, Bitch!, you will see the two fighting over the wheel until they learn how to share. The choice of music is not that perplexing if you know that my brother and I think that our hamsters are gay and have a thing for each other, which would explain why they use the wheel at the same time…and other things as well.

Not only did we find out that we are, like, neighbors, but we also had a ton of fun a couple of days ago. Omar is one of the most creative people I have ever met, and he’s funny and friendly and everything entertaining. If you’re thinking of meeting a blogger, and you’re a single girl under 20 (but over 16, please), email him.

He did not pay me to post this, and he doesn’t even know that I am posting this. Don’t nobody tell him.

The Quran via Wordle generated single letters and not a single word resulted. Weird, right? Click on the images to see them bigger. They’re beautiful.

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

I tried to create my own word cloud but I am having a bit of a problem with my Java settings. You try it and share with me!

Tololy: What’s this?
Sister: It’s a portrait.
Tololy: Oh wow…who are these people?
Sister: They’re the tourists who commissioned the work.
Tololy: They had their own portrait done in mosaic?
Sister: Apparently.
Tololy: Wow…that’s pretty narcissistic!
Sister: I guess…
Tololy: It’s totally something I would do.
Sister: That’s what I was thinking.

I don’t know why but I kinda felt I should be offended, except I really wasn’t. Funny.

So a few minutes ago I decided to post a couple of pictures to flickr just for fun. When the uploading process finished, I gasped for breath at the sight of one of my private pictures uploaded by mistake! The HORROR! I panicked, cursed repeatedly under my breath, and decided to immediately delete the picture and forget this episode ever happened. I figured there is no way anyone could have seen the picture because it had been uploaded only seconds earlier. I rushed to click “delete” but found a little surprise waiting for me: a comment on the picture from one of my contacts. ALREADY!

Damage control: delete the picture, send commenter email denying anything to do with it, and sign with “what happens in my flickr, stays in my flickr.” I should have added “I know where you live. I live where you live.” …me and my stupid little black dress vs. flickr adventures. Ugh.

It was either that or this:

And I’m not a fruitcake. So all risks considered, I went for the disgusting, unrefined, but humorous, attitude involving mucus. I’m real classy like that.

What did he say to alleviate my pain?

“Go see the camels.”

…seriously?

Well, today I was casually talking to my other sister while she opened some forwards sent to her. And lo and behold!, my Mansaf pictures were among them. Here they are with their respective comments:

I feel proud that my pictures are being forwarded.This must be how it feels like to be the forwards favorite Jameed.
