Conversations and Monologues

Work is like pregnancy

A: Are you new here?
Me: Yea
C: It’s her second month
Me: My second month? Sounds like I’m pregnant not employed
C: Hahaha, that’s worth blogging

Smoking Jordanians

Me: So, do you think support groups work?
B: Nope
Me: But why?
B: Because once meetings are over you’re on your own
Me: But you can make friends and support each other
……
Me: It all comes down to whether or not you wanna stop
B: It’s about addiction
……
B: Self-destruction
…….
B: Come on let’s go, wanna buy some smoke
Me: OK

Why are you veiled?

A: How long have you been wearing a veil?
Me: Since I was really young. That’s an interesting question BTW, why do you ask?
A: No reason
Me: I mean, is veil an interesting topic to you?
A: Nope, not really
Me: OK!
A: But you were too young to make a decision
Me: I know. When I have a daughter, I won’t let her wear it so soon
A: So you regret it
Me: No, I regret wearing it when I was very young and unaware even though it was my decision.
……
Me: God, it’s too hot
A: Do you regret it now? :-D
Me: Noo :-P


Should I?!

I lived my entire life in the UAE, the only people who asked me if I had a boyfriend were non-Arabs. How come in Jordan being asked if I have a boyfriend is as normal as being asked how I’m doing?

    Maybe people are just nosy? Or maybe I lot of guys just want to be your boyfriend? Take your pick.

    Ù‹I don’t know, the way they ask, it’s like its very normal which leads me to think that maybe girls here allow for such nosiness too.

    It does feel like an interrogation when strangers ask how come I’m not in a relationship. But I’m adapting…
