So yeah! Exams are over and done with! good stuff, good stuff!! These past two weeks have been sort of stressful, all nighters and what not, that one physiology exam got me all crazy I couldnt sleep all night was just lying in bed, revising in my head it was driving me mad! I didnt even do very well on that exam!
One thing I've learned from exams is to trust your first instinct, never question your first impression of something or someone! Always go with it, cause its the right one, honestly! It was crazy cause like all my exams are multiple questions, so I read it once, read the answers than go like, yeah! Its B! ... No, wait, it could be D.... or A for that matter... and then I'm just like "Bloody fucking hell, whaT?!" And then, I find out it was actually B!
I'm pretty sure theres a scientific explanation for this! And when I learn it, I will be sure to post about it, not that anyone would care but myself really. All those long nights of revision have taken a tool on me! I keep turning medical biological info into funny/perverted things! Its quite amusing really, me and my friends were discussing Viagra and its effects in the library, we were quite loud, so we got these weird looks, we werent on the medics and science floor, so that must have been it, haha!
Tonight we went out, usualy I dont like going out to bars and whatever, its just not my thing, I stand there feeling just awkward and out of place! But I really wanted to unwind and have a bit of fun, and since all my good friends were going, and they all knew I didnt drink it was kinda okay? Yeah well anyway, I had a good time laughing and doing some stupid things! Got some virgin drinks, some chocolaty thingy which tasted amazzzziiingggg!!!!! Got a bit of a sugar high after that! Good times! Ahhh!!
Tomorrow I will be going to london for a few days, since my second semester doesnt start until the 9th of feb. I am in need of some serious retail therapy! Honestlyyyyy!! I am going to go shopping, and be a tourist! AND JUST CHILL GODDAMIT!
Life is good, good friends, good times!

On Politics?
I don’t like to speak of politics, because I do not fully understand it, I am ashamed to say I am quite ignorant when it comes to politics, I don’t want to say anything or base an opinion because I cannot do that without first understanding it fully then I would be able to judge it. But it seems the world thinks differently, people only know little and yet they scream murder at whoever they deem as evil, they ignore the call of the weak, they believe whatever they are told, they do not bother to question: What? How? Why?
That of course is ignorance. I suffer from it too, but at the very least I admit I do and I don’t go around accusing people of certain things. While I was wasting much time procrastinating on facebook, I came across this horrible group that aided Israel against Palestine, or should I say Gazza, since one member so rudely said:
“what is Palestine? It doesn’t exist you idiot… it’s like oz.”
Clearly this person is an idiot of sorts, because Israel was only founded in 1948, what pray tell existed before that? This of course is an example of history somehow seems to turn to legend. Anyway, I joined this group and wrote on their wall, I was not mean and I did not shout insults (even though this lot needed someone to not only shout insults but slap them) I wanted them to brush up on their history since they clearly needed it, I wrote:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/07/gaza-israel-palestine
He’s one of your own. Read it.
Five minutes later I discover my post has been deleted, not only are these people ignorant they also refuse to be educated, which is way worse if you ask me! And as I looked through this group I also noticed the things they said about muslims not respecting their own religion, their own beliefs. That just made me ashamed of myself, for it is true, and I’ve seen it.
I don’t wish to call the Israelis names, swear at them or curse them. Because simply, our religion taught us better and we should know better, we have no one to blame but ourselves for what is going on in Gazza. Don’t tell me I cannot do anything, you can be a better Muslim, you can show the world how we truly are and that we respect others, we respect ourselves, we respect our religion.

"I cannot live through you again."
I close my eyes, searching for a vision of faith,
And I can see you there, with eyes like a dying star,
Trapping me in their beauty,
and I lose myself
All over again,
I lose myself, in you
I lose my soul to you
You move through me, a stormy night, raging within me.
Whisper in your ear as you reign over me,
“I cannot live through you again.”
I open my eyes,
to a dull reality where you are dead and I am dying
Everything is lost, within their hopes
Nothing left but the burning green sun,
The purple sky
The grey earth
And, desperately, we hold on to pieces of ourselves
Even as the pieces dig into our skin,
Even as our soul begins to bleed.
---
These days I dont really like the person I'm turning into. Parts of me are well... decaying.

Potter fan all the way baby! Twiligh, shwilight!
"You are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek to run away from death. He accepts that he must die and understands that there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying." - Dumbledore to Harry
I bet you, in all four books of twilight that you will not find a sentence with such wisdom and beauty. The potter books are not only well written, but there is true genius in them! How the whole story fits so perfectly together, how the mystery just unravels itself within the pages, is just simple pure genius.
The complex story of Harry Potters life, and how he came to be what he is, how he destroyed his mortal enemy, is just so amazing that even if I read the book 1000 times I will still feel the amazement I felt the first time I read it. The story doesn’t only show how courage can overcome all things, how with sheer will you can defeat anything but it also shows how love can indeed conquer all. It shows love as a form of magic that is the highest level of power, that which no one can destroy. A force that is powerful enough to protect you from anything that means you harm.
"Is it love again?" said Voldemort, his snake face jeering. "Dumbledore's favorite solution, love, which he claimed conquered death...."
Harry escapes Lord Voldemort when he was just a baby, the killing curse which was meant to kill the infant Harry backfired and killed Voldemort instead. In one of the books, Dumbledore explains this, he says that because Harry's mother loved him so much that she gave his life to protect him, Voldemort could not touch harry as long as Lily's blood was in his veins. He then goes on to say that it is the most ancient kind of magic.
Love is one important topic J.K Rowling highlights in the book, another is racism. Yes, the book talks about racism within the magical community, where there are “pure-bloods” and “mud-bloods” it shows how there is discrimination between the two. To all you non-potter readers let me explain, one is considered a “pure-blood” if one comes from a long line of witches and wizards a “mud-blood” is a person who has no magical ancestry but somehow does have magic in their blood or someone who is half and half (meaning one parent only has magical abilities).
Here is a simple quote by (of course non other than my favorite wizard) Albus Dumbledore:
“You place too much importance... on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!”
To say that Twilight, is a much better book that Harry Potter, is just offensive and ignorant. Not only did J.K Rowling manage to create a world of her own, that also fits with reality but she also gave us all a lesson about, courage to do the right thing even if it means dying, loyalty to stand by your friends and to what you believe in, and in love.
Now, it is my belief that the best parent is a book, the harry potter books are the best education in life one can give a child.
I will leave you with a few quotes from the books:
Albus Dumbledore
“Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.”
“It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.”
“Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy”
Sirius Black
“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals”
"Kreacher is cleaning," the elf repeated. "Kreacher lives to serve the noble house of Black--" "
--and it's getting blacker every day, it's filthy," said Sirius.
Fred and George Weasley (My favorite characters, they make me laugh so much!)
"So top grade's O for 'Outstanding,'" she [Hermione] was saying, "and then there's A-"
"No, E," George corrected her, "E for 'Exceeds Expectations.' And I've always thought Fred and I should've got E in everything, because we exceeded expectations just by turning up for the exams."
"You're a prefect? Oh Ronnie! That's everyone in the family!" [Molly Weasley]
"What are Fred and I? Next door neighbours?!"
P.S;
This ones for Taq ;)

Desert
Her bare feet burned footsteps into the white sand. There she goes, marking the world with her presence. Her eyes wander her raging orange skies, the dust manifests into some imitation of life, and it rises before her. A faint smile plays on her lips as the particles of dust scratch her face and irritate her skin, scraping the surface, merely scraping the surface.
She continued walking through the great dunes of sand, lost in her desert of loneliness, passersby in caravans did not stop and the hooded lean figures ridding beautiful Arabian horses rushed past her, through her, like she did not even exist.
She lives in this desert she created around herself, she loves this desert where she is alone with herself, and despite its burning sun and its sand storms… it is hers.
Do you have a desert?
