:confused: why not?

Hehhe hope I scored em rite but, truth be told..I am a Fab Friend! You're unflinchingly loyal, generous and giving. Hopefully, your friends appreciate how often you put their interests first -- and how lucky they are. Be sure to surround yourself with pals who are worthy of you; the people you befriend should be equally understanding, loving and giving.

Uhm..this really wasn't that accurate. Your first name of **bleep** has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine :confused: I'm really not that creative artisticly. You are deep, philosophical, and refined, but your extremely sensitive nature causes you to become depressed and self-pitying over any real or imagined slight :rolleyes: Ok..this one was a lil'closer to the bullseye than the first one. I am be deep but I dont I dont get depressed that easy..aha, good try tho.

Hey Bambina, glad to see another Bollywood on SOL- I went thru my indian movies period. I think it all started after Bend it Like Beckham Mansoon Wedding was excellent too, and this one movie called My Friend wasnt too bad. They were all in English except My Friend which was dubbed in English. U got any suggestions for some good indian movies girl?

Lakkad- different strokes for different folks. U know I read an article once that surveyed a few hundred mistress's and they found that they would prefer being a second wife to a mistress. P.S- that still doesnt mean I'd accept it from my husband oh hell naw..its about to be World War III.

^^ **agreeing with Jamaal-11 (truly over-reacted) and maajo (couldn't be truer brah)**

Lol, Malaika, it's been ages girl. I heard you were at the somali leadership event, how was that? St.Paul chick- girl, Minnisoda is lucky to have such a big fan ahha. I guess even cedar is a tourist attraction- we'll see wha the rest of the towns gotta offer lol.

Loool.the MASH and MARY BLACK had me crackin me up. Man, seems like centuries ago. How time flies.

lol hehehe...Lakkad, betta not spill. You are gonna cause a shortage of my limited jokes supply. Imperial- aha, girl my BET is messed up. So naaw, lol, care for a life-line?

Well, since everyone seems to be showing sooo much love to out-of-staters, I thought I'd mention that Ima be town early next week. Minni-soda that is. What is there to do there? Besides check out the infamous cedar? St.Paul Chick- can you give me the 411 on the conference, since you a part of the org. Im sure y'all got minutes n stuff so hit me up.

For males: Mohammed and Abdi-sumthing For females: Aisha, Amal and Ayan

Lol..ok, maybe I'm a romantic, but damn, I would want my proposal to be memorable. I love the whole beach and at night scenerio. I mean, I wouldn't mind if he wrote me a lil' message on an air-balloon banner but in all honesty, something original and romantic. I dont want it to seem like he's askin me to go with him to buy a toaster for his kitchen..shoot, hes askin to marry me. Betta make it fancy shmancy.

I recently rented Liberty Stand Still. If you liked Phone Booth, it was a cheap attempt to remake Liberty Stand Still. Even tho Wesley Snipes is in it, I dont think it got too much publicity. Its a great movie about how one person can make a difference.

Lol opinionated & lefty. Ahahaa. I'd say weight issues are over-rated. I hate when somali folks feel its necessary to tell you you've aged or lost a couple of pounds every time they see you.

Personally, I've never really grown up around dadka somalida and know I can't categorize all men, but the ones I've grown up around have not set a high opinion of somali men in my eyes. So naturally, I decided to see if the grass was greener on the other side. And what do you know, its jus the same. If some-one were to ask me, if an ajnabi brotha came upto you, with all the criteria and qualifications, would you be interested in pursuing a relationship that might end up in marriage, I'd say, WHY NOT? Are we expected to stick around and wait for the somali brothas to get their act togetha, while the numbers of potential husbands dwindled? I think not. As long as they are Muslim, that should be the main concern, not what tribe he belongs to, who his family is and definitely not on race. But like I said, that all depends on how cultural you and open-minded you are.

Well, I've achieved some of what I'd wanted to do before I got too old- mainly becoming independent and going to university. I have failed along the way, thats the only way you're gonna learn. REMEMBER YOU HAVE TO FAIL TO ACHIEVE Wise words, somalialova. I think I'ev failed when it comes to deen aspect of my life, particulary, practicing it. I think in a more Muslim society, I'd definitely have more knowledge n practice. But I'm workin on it. Now I'm jus lookin forward to grad school, a smashing husband and that big ol' house on Grosse Point.

Lakkad..is this ur way of tryna convince us somali females that we should practice polygamy? Hmm...one article definitely won't change mine- I'd leave him in a minute if he pulled sumthin' like that. Scratch that actually..Id make HIM leave lol.

Asraa, this sounds little like arranged marriage. I say this because it seems like she'd have to depend mainly on the perception of her parents about that individual. And we all know, in arranged marriage, your parents pick men for their daughters based on their perceptions. Now, I'm not saying that arranged marriages aren't successful, because they are many that have survived. It always reminds me of "The Wedding Planner" for some weird reason. Specifically when the father is telling his daughter how his marriage was married and he hadn't seen his wife till the day he married her. And even tho, at first, there definitely wasn't love, it built up from comfortability, to like..and eventually..to love. So even tho they may not have known each other long, I dont think thats a prerequisite for every marriage in order for it to be successful or happy.

This my crack at somali proverbs guys so bear with me.. kun baa shukansanasaa, miid baa ka doonanay ..means, y'all gonna date a thousand but in the end, you're gonna end up with one. And folks..i aint even outta the two-digit zone lol, so when I am, I'll let y'all know exactly what it is I want

somealien..ure not the only one. i'm not sure im understanding the point behind all this..

1. Deen 2. Family 3. $$$$$

Bishaaro-that is soo tru girl. It kinda makes the person feel defeated when people keep telling them to move and they stuck in the same spot. At least be honest and tell them its takes time to heal n it doesn't happen overnite. I'm sure even tho that won't have them jumpin outta bed, wearing sumthin besides pajamas, it'll help em feel better.

Lol..dude, this is cracking me up. I am just a lil' concerned about all the females that find macawiis sexy. Hello, thats a man in a skirt- not very attractive :confused: I know men in other culturals wear that too, but its jus not every appealing to me. Only one of us is the designated skirt-wearer in the relationship. Newayz, I can see why the men would love off the dirac, I mean, shoot, any man will jump at the chance to see a woman half-naked, ANY! But dammit if it aint colorful, some of them are seriously hazardous to the eye. Curious how we dont find it strange seeing women struttin their stuff in a dirac, but we gawk at girls wearing midriffs and see-thru tops? Lol...hypocritical much? Don't u jus love our people.

Grr..I'm in Michigan and most parts of Detroit are still out. No electricity, lights, and water (till this morning). And dammit- my fone keeps dropping its reception :mad: . Now I can't even speak to anybody and I left my novel at work..what to do..what to do? I'm about to pull my hair out literally .Isn't it crazy how dependent we are on this stuff. I promised myself after this is over, I'm load up on candles, those lil' mini fans and about a dozen novels. And oh, about enuff food to last me to till New Years:(
