And besides, the lipgloss I want is from Bodyshop it costs about 600-900 I believe, and I've already spent a lot of money this month, so I'm waiting till its October. :D<br /><br />Listen, would you rather have women be short, hairy, and have faces filled with blackheads and zits? Its hard work being pretty damnit!<br /><br />The old ones have beards, there's some unwritten rule that when you're a granny you're too old to get waxed because they're white hair and people can't see. I had a teacher once who was that type, she was standing on top of my head talking to me, and all I could do was stare at her beard. Blegh. The mehndi had shitty chemicals btw, that's why it itched plus I have sensitive skin.<br /><br />And no way, everyone I know wakes up hours after I do. People are texting me at eleven and I'm like, screw you my eid was mubarak at eight now I just hate everyone and want to go back to bed.Ghausianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623699882018686488.post-55064946922791793862010-09-18T04:47:36.936-07:002010-09-18T04:47:36.936-07:00@ Marium: :( Aw, now I feel bad.

Until then, adore your way into as much Eidi remuneration as possible. <br /><br />Mehndi Itches? Waxing, High heels, scalding facials....is all of women ilk insane? <br /><br />Maybe you need a "no hug" tattoo on your forehead? <br /><br />Women have beards? I learn something new everyday...<br /><br />In a sadistic way it does make me feel better, though I'd like to point out that if you wake up at the ass crack of dawn, we're waking up a good two hours before that! <br /> <br />What can I say, I love being right ;P<br /><br />@Artkapakistan: Thanks for the comment, and making me feel less like a Grinch.<br /><br />Animals are tasty.

I do what I must to survive. I need new lipgloss damnit!<br /><br />I'm not partial to the smell myself, but the design looks so pretty. I had a bad experience this Eid though, the mehndi artist was horrible, plus the cone wasn't a good one, my hands started itching so I had to remove it early, resulting in a crappy colour. :(<br /><br />Oh also the hugging. I ran into my cousin's in laws while visiting them, his nani-in-law shook hands with my mom, saw me and I swear to God, her eyes literally lit up. I held out my hand to shake hands, she PULLED me in for a hug. I kept feeling the scratching of her beard for the next ten minutes. I cried on the inside.<br /><br />Plus girls keep cheek kissing me. I'm not a cheek kissing type. I'll hug people, say what up, and that's it. As a result, they close in, I panic and end up with a mouth full of their hair. Do you feel better about my Eid blackmailing now? Plus my dad HAS to set out to visit at ten which means I have to wake up at 8, help make food for people I don't like and get dressed at the asscrack of dawn. <br /><br />Okay so Eid stinks.

My aunts and uncles give like, one ten rupee note, bear in mind that nanay abba had two wives so I have two different sets of mamis and all, and they give me one ten rupee note per person. I just keep telling my closer relatives that I'm so lonely and I have no one and I can't stand being alive sometimes because I hate myself so much. BAM! 1000 rupee note! :D<br /><br />Mehndi is so pretty. You're insane for not liking it. And hey, whatever happened to girls dressing up to look pretty for your lot? Bangles are the best accessory ever, and I'm not even that desi.<br /><br />And btw, that losing weight in Ramadan thing is a myth. I actually regained the weight I lost at the gym.
