It was probably the most boring Eid I ever had. I think that being raised in a relatively large family - 3 brothers and two sisters- made it a bit depressing to spend Eid alone, but I honestly never realized before how nice it was to spend time with my family, feeling bored together and doing nothing together. I mean I always hated Arabic TV shows and soap-operas but God do I miss the manipulation attempts of my younger sisters! Not because they really cared but because they, unlike me, really liked Egyptian and Syrian series, Super Star, CBM and other stupid shows and part of me enjoyed the manipulation because it brought us together. But I always enjoyed watching Egyptian comedian plays they show every Eid, I also enjoyed repeating lines from those plays almost everyday, and only my brothers and sisters would appreciate that. This Eid I didn’t watch anything, actually I didn’t watch anything in Ramadan either, because I depended on my sisters to flip through Arabic channels and know the time of every show. I had this practical sense in me since forever, if somebody is already doing my job why fight over it. If mother is home why bother wait for some water to boil or for the washing machine to finish, if my father’s phone number is stored in my mobile why bother memorize it.

And I was always distant from everyone, isolated and busy but that was only because I knew they were around.

Well I no longer remember what this post was about. I was saying that this Eid was probably the most boring, I spent most of my days sleeping. Tomorrow I’ll have to go to work which sucks, naturally but lets face it, I’m sick of sleeping and I’m so bored I can’t get myself to do anything productive so..

Bottom line, I didn’t have enough ma’amool and Arabic coffee this Eid and that sucks, naturally.
