you're gonna feel the wind at your heels you know
you're gonna feel a sparkle in your step
everything will touch you in a different way

God bless the day that made me feel this way.

despite mind numbing pollution and high levels of apathy, Cairo remains a hive of creativity

Tag Me Baby ;)

I have been tagged, here are my ten random things:

1. I have a recurring dream that a Tsunami is about to hit the city I live in and there is nowhere to run, each time I have the dream the location changes

2. I want to live by the sea, when I was younger my aspirations were to become a beach bum, the sea gives me peace

3. I have a hand fetish, no matter how attractive a guy might be, if his hands are ugly it’s out of the question

4. I swam with dolphins completely by accident, it freaked me out, but I petted that dolphins head like he was a cat, I came out of the sea all dizzy saying “that was better than sex!”

5. I never believed in father Xmas but I did believe in the tooth fairy, she left a fifty pence piece under my pillow for each tooth

6. I am haunted by the number 11 usually in the form of 11:11 and I prefer odd numbers and odd years, although I must say 2008 is looking good so far :) I totally believe in the mysticism of the numbers three and seven

7. I am torn between wanting to have lived in Egypt’s 1950’s and the USA’s late 60’s…revolution or flower power? Om Kulthoum or Jefferson Airplane? I just can’t decide

8. I smoke like a chimney and no I don’t want to give up

9. If you teach me something I don’t know, I will respect you forever, although I never felt the same reverence at school

10. I am completely and irreparably in love with this country, and living here has taught me patience, tolerance and generosity under any circumstances. I cannot imagine ever living anywhere else

if any of you ever read this i tag Jade, Anna, Perfect Fool and Amnesiac :)

i just have to add one more:

11. I give people electric shocks when i touch them.. i can no longer touch door handles or anything else which is made of metal...i just got a shock off an ipod and a plant, i am at my wits END.
