Oh, btw, Guess What?

There was a time when happy moments were shared by people, when friends share their happy moments (or sad if you wish) with each other, when people confided in each other, when people talked about dreams and ambitions and plans and how to find the G-spot (before the advent of the internet, that is).

It’s either that this time passed (which I know didn’t) or people I surround myself with just rather like to casually say over hookah “Oh btw I got engaged.”

No way! Well I am glad you didn’t tell me before that you were interested in someone because I would have so turned green with envy and put a curse on you that no matter how many anti-voodoo talismans or imams you go to you will never cure it and that I spread the word to everyone you hate so we all conspire against you that how come someone like you can get engaged when we can’t and then I would do my best to ruin your relationship with her so I won’t be the only single guy in the world.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE <<< inhale
PHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO >>> exhale

Now I know I am also on the other end of the spectrum – I am a diagnosed internet whore – but the humanity I aspire for lies some way in between right?

    Eeee, so true!! It's like out of nowhere, people that you know are hooking up, getting married, and you're always the last to know... ticks me off!
  • D.S.I think I just got hit by an arrow again named cubid when I read your blog today.Be careful how you write,you are getting to me.You really walk on solid ground.
  • I meant to say "by sharing with you in that way" in the last sentence. Sorry, this is the only way I can correct myself in these comments.
  • It does seem to be a cultural thing and to those of us middle-easterners who were raised in the west it seems very odd to us so that others we know from there just behave that way. But still I shouldn't complain too much because even though i was raised in the western world I still find myself doing the typical arab behavior and not think much of it. I think you're friend didn't mean anything negative by not sharing with you like that, its just the way he was raised and to him its just normal.
  • Katia you are so very funny and a gifted writer I believe like KJ is.I would like to read some of your writing,if you please.

    Your friends made a wise choice. Who the heck gets married at 22
  • This is weird. Because it seems that your friends are one or two years younger than mine (I am guessing around 23-24 years old), yet yours seem to be getting married and mine not :-) It must be the heat :-P
  • i had (and i mean had) a friend who i knew for 15 years. I found out she got engaged from her facebook status.
  • I don't know how they do it. I think they ruin the moment for themselves. Why not bask in endeavors even if they're misery. I say you unleash moogle on them lol.

    It's pathetic isn't it? Everyone complains that everyone ELSE is complaining but they don't share any happy news themselves!

    It is a cultural thing I mostly seen between Palestinians and Syrians.

    I wouldn't doubt you there. He did have girlfriend[s] before but as far as I now none were heading anywhere potential unless he was lying about it. Which makes it more ridiculous.

    You know what KJ, that guy has probably never been on a date with his fiance-to-be, because if he did, you would have heard about it, even if you don't come out of the house... that's what facebook is for ;-) Unless he doesn't do the facebook-dance, which is what happened to me a few weeks ago.

    I found out that my cousin was getting married three days before the actual wedding. Ok, we live miles apart, but hell, I didn't even know she was engaged. Even worse, I didn't even know she had given up on waiting for that lifelong love interest of hers, had gotten completely over him (great for her) and had put herself out there again! Now, if only she had a facebook account... ;-)
  • Yeah, I had that situation before. I think it's becoming a cultural thing, people as you said are afraid of ruining things if they talk too much about it.
  • I totally understand where you are coming from. It is considered a bad thing now to share what you are feeling with anyone even how close you are. You are always expected to be happy and jolly you have no right to have your own feeling or share it. We just share shitty and trival things but important things that effect our lives we better keep those hidden
