So it's been a while since my last blost (blog post). Partly because it's been crazy busy- rendezvous's, bougie parties on the upper East Side and what not. you know the norm. NBD.
And no, I haven't started watching Gossip Girl. (I have. and it's really bad.)
Anyhoo, thought I'd share a terse (GRE word. wurd.) summary of my past month or so real quick:
- went to Egypt
-came back
-took the GRE
- EGYPT STARTS A FREAKIN REVOLUTION
I'm sure you needed to read my blog in order to know that last bit. It's been widely under-covered by all news stations, esp. Al Jazeera. And thanks Egypt, for starting the party without me. I appreciate it.
In all seriousness and earnestosity though, mad props to my people. What they're doing is dang amazing and I'm real proud. InshaAllah (God willing) everything will turn out in their favor and they get the rights that they deserve. And not to wish ill will on anyone, but may Hosni Mubarak suffer extreme pain/deformity during his next Botox injection. I would also settle for death by too much black hair dye.
natural beauty? one of this dictator's many lies.
In other news, I've just stumbled upon a gold mine. Literally, if this website was a chemical element, it would have the symbol Au and be made into shiny jewelry. What is it, you ask? Check it-
True story. It's a website where you can go to literally rent a friend if you are lonely and need a pal. Actually, my own humble description does not do it justice. Here is a beautiful explanation, from the site itself:
"RentAFriend.com is a website that allows you to rent local Friends from all over the world. You can rent a local Friend to hang out with, go to a movie or restaurant with, or someone to go with you to a party or event. Rent a friend to teach you a new skill or hobby, or to show you around an unfamiliar town."
Type in your zip code. I dare you. According to the website, people all over are using this site for all sorts of "friendly activities." For example,
●People who travel to a new city can hire a local to show them around town. It's always good to know someone from the area who can give you first hand information about where to go and what to avoid.
● Someone might want to see a movie or go out to a restaurant but don't have anyone to go with. They could "Rent a Friend" to go along with them.
● Many Friends on RentAFriend.com have unique talents and skills. They can teach you a new language, tutor you, share a new hobby, art, dance, and much more. It's also a great way to meet people of different cultures and religions.
● People who travel often for business that are looking to find local Friends to go out to dinner with, go to the bar with, or watch a sports game with. It's always great to have Friends in different cities.
● People who have an extra ticket to a sporting event or concert and don't want to go alone. They can "Rent a Friend" to go along them.
● Someone may want a workout partner for the gym. Renting a Friend to help motivate and spot you during your workout. It can also be a lot cheaper than hiring a personal trainer.
● Just looking for someone to give you personal advice. There are lots of people who just want to get real advice about a situation and it's always great to get an outsiders point of view.
