Flickr finally functioning

After using Yahoo! Pictures for so long, I finally activated my Flickr account which I’d forgotten about. Much better for organizing pictures online. Here’s the link to my Flickr site. I’ve only got about 6 pictures up so far but will slowly add all the others in. (Don’t worry, no pictures of me)

One penny short of a quarter

Well. It’s here. B-Day (not the album…my birthday).
I’m (sort of) over the anxiety of turning 24, but what the actual depressing part of the day is being away from family and friends. I know it’s childish, but not being home for Eid and my birthday has left this whole month pretty bleak.
But, I am here [...]

The hand is quicker than the eye…

Warning: The follow is not for the queasy
David Blane freaks me out.
I am convinced he is not of this world. Or at least the normal part of it. I’ve come to believe there are people on this earth who are special and have “talents” (I’m not talking about the show Heroes..thought it’s an [...]

Blogge(red)

Normally, I’m all for any campaign that brings to attention the problems in the world in a way that attracts the attention of the public. The popular silicone bands that come in a rainbow of colours representing different causes were a good way to do this (LiveStrong [the yellow bands], Make Poverty History [white band], [...]

10 days and counting…

I feel old. My birthday is in exactly 10 days and I’ll be 24 (though a friend did try to expedite my aging process by one year and thought I’d be 25…scared the bejeezes out of me) and though I know in technical terms I’m not old, it’s that point in life where you feel [...]

Top Ten Signs You’ve Hired a Bad Lawyer

10. Begins every sentence with “Well, as Ally McBeal once said…”
9. He keeps citing the legal case of Godzilla vs. Mothra.
8. Just before your trial starts he whispers, “The judge is the one with the little hammer, right?”
7. He thinks he’ll win your case, “because there’s a first time for everything”
6. He once failed to [...]

Don’t knock it ’til you try it.

Who doesn’t like bubblewrap? I do! Even though it scared the pajamas off of me when I first moved in to my apartment and stepped on some while unpacking and immediately went into a crouched position thinking it was gunshots - it’s Michigan folks, they’re notorious for crime aren’t they?? (Wipe that smirk off [...]

The fall of fall

Umm, excuse me? Mother Nature? Sorry to bother you. I understand this is a busy time with all the changes that are going on with the climate everywhere. But I hate to point out that you sorta skipped a season.
It’s not that important, really. It’s just, one day I looked out and there was bright [...]

To all the doubters

This is just to show up alllll the people who told me I was nuts and gave me flack (you know who you are - everyone except my BFFs Sarah and Roohi…much love) when I tried to bring back the word “swanky” (as evidenced in this post last year). Y’all didn’t believe in [...]

Look Who’s Talking

People who know me often ask why I want to be a lawyer. They’re actually more interested in how they think I’ll manage to be a lawyer. I don’t blame them. Mention a lawyer and you picture a suave, fast-talking, sly person - something I’m told I never am or could be.
In most settings, [...]
