So the other day my mom calls one of the aunties from San Diego and shes like "the whole masjid ribat is at Howayah's right now" and my mom is like "mashaAllah!" and then shes like I'm going to pass the phone around so you can speak to them. It was bittersweet. Brought back soooo many memories. Howayah's house is the house I talked about before with the great view outside. Just talking to them all made me really miss being down there. Later that night Intisar called me and we talked a bit which was also nice.

It's interesting how people can notice the smallest and most odd things about you. My dad is good at pointing these things out to me. The other day we're eating and he goes "you've been eating lemon on your food a lot these days", and I looked at him and was like "even I didnt pay attention to that". Then later on I made him tea and I put the sugar in and mixed it and he goes "whenever you mix sugar in tea you always tapp the spoon on the edge of the cup twice". This time I didn't comment but I payed attention to what I did when I mixed the sugar for mom and noticed he was right. My sister used to do this to my brother all the time..to the point that he would get upset and ask "what are you doing, writing a book about me!"

My brothers pretty cool. He's moved back to Corvallis and commutes to Portland for work, miskeen. He came over the other day and gave me my Cd's back (about time!)..except he forgot one :(. I told him and he was like "wow you keep a good inventory". He's one of those people that picks on me a lot. He was over the other day and started picking on me, I was like "yo, you better stop.. you owe and your still picking on me!" He actually really really owes me. He was at work last week and my other brother called him and was like "you forgot to leave me x money that I asked to borrow".. so Adam is in Portland no way he can get the money to him so he calls me and asks me to lend my other bro the money.. I was like let me check if I have that much on me now and I checked and didn't so hes like can u go get some from the bank? I was home alone and in no mood to walk to the bank but hes like "come on its on walnut it wont take you 15 mins each way", so I did.. and now he owes me :).

and I'll finish updating later couse mom wants me..
