What does it mean?
***Your Birthdate: March 14***
You work well with others. That is, you're good at getting them to do work for you.
It's true that you get by on your charm. But so what? You make people happy!
You're dynamic, clever, and funny. And people like to have you around.
But you're so restless, they better not expect you to stay around for long.
Your strength: Your superstar charisma
Your weakness: Commitment means nothing to you
Your power color: Fuchsia
Your power symbol: Diamond
Your power month: May

The year is safe now...
Like I stated in an earlier post, I usually get three bad things happen at the beginning of each year that will in the end keep my relatively OK for the rest of the year.
So the first thing that happened, was I lost a huge amount of money, second I was disappoint in a few friends of mine and thus we are now on not so good terms, and finally the clincher...I had to leave my job. The reasons for leaving the job, was not because I was not happy there-I liked the people and most of the time the work-and it wasn't that they were unhappy with me, on the contrary they were very happy with the level of my work. So the reason for me leaving this job were beyond my and my employers hands, and lets just leave it at that.
So the SHITTIE Monday came true for me, and now lets hope nothing else will go wrong.
I go to pick up my car today-and thank god its not a monday since in the new JO they were saying that there is something called a Monday car-I am very excited about the car, I can't wait to be roaming around the streets of Amman, I already have my ipod playlist set and I will blast it-right after I go and buy the wire!
So fingers crossed, Lulwa will now be safe for 2007!!!!!

As an addition to the post entitled: Resolutions, and to further clarify what I mean, here is a quote by an amazing woman, Betty Friedan:
"Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims. The real enemy is women's denigration of themselves."
Worst day of the year...
According to Dr Cliff Arnall, a psychologist with a taste for self-publicity-taking in six factors - weather, debt, time since Christmas, time until pay day, low motivation and failure to keep new year resolutions - has been wheeled out for the past few years to calculate the most depressing day of the year. And since today is that day, wipe that smile off your face and remove that spring from your step.
"I think the research was meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek," says Mike Cobb, a spokesperson for Samaritans (he's right; Arnall was commissioned by a travel company which suggested, to much surprise, that taking holidays is a good way to alleviate depression). To help people in the UK deal with this day, a website has been created, Beat Blue Monday.
But isn't it a great idea to think that you can blame a shitty day not on the fact that you are just not doing well in your life-inno its just you-bas on the fact that its OFFICIALLY a shite day for everyone in the WORLD!!!!!

I'm walking on SUNSHINE!!!!
I have gotten my first car.
I will finally become an independent young woman in Amman.
Today my parents and I went to Toyota and bought ourselves a little Yaris. It is my first car, in my name and I am so happy. I go pick it up in two days, and I am jumping up and down all over the place. I can't wait to take it for the first drive, or to take my friends around-especially those who have driven me around-take them where ever they want, whenever they want...and they better take me up on this offer la2no from what I understand it won't last for very long.
I would at this point like to thank those friends who drove me around all of last year, especially A, wallah I owe ya big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway I am truly happy, and don't care if this is materialistic or not, I am finally FREE...I can go where I want, with who I want when I want. Not longer waiting for The Munth...no longer planning hours in advance...or having to stay out of the house for hours on end to meet different friends at different times.....I can just be now.
Me and my 3arous the YARIS :)

Resolutions...
I stated in a previous post what my new year resolutions are going to be, but lately-and especially after the email I got the other day, and this news feed on the Reuters website-I have been rethinking a few things about how I treat people and how I am treated back, but more to the point, how I treat the women in my life.
I decided that I seem to put less emphasis on the women in my life, my friends, my mother, my aunts, my female cousins. I don't give them extra time, or love, or affection, I seem to put most of that for my male friends. Or maybe more precisely on the people I see more often who happen to be my male friends.
There is something that has to be said about women and they way they treat each other sometimes, we see each other as threats, and I think that is why we end up being harsher, more critical of our female friends. Guess I won't speak in general. I know that I am harsher to my female friends, I expect less from them yet I judge them the most. Which is khara really, la2no they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. So the decision is for me to be more forgiving with my female friends, judge them less, be more supportive, more there I guess.
If we women are to be treated well in this world, then the first thing we have to do is to be better to each other, not to judge our sisters according to what they wear, how they walk, who they are friends with. Just start to accept each other as we are. I won't use words such as slut, bitch, the c-word, I won't look at the women around me and see how thin or fat they are, what designer they are wearing and which they are not. I will extend an olive branch to the women I no longer talk to, and I will pick up the phone more often to the women that I am talking to.
The resoltuion starts today, and I am going to give this till my birthday-mid march, fingers crossed it goes well.
