It's Broken

I.
Broke.
My.
Little.
Toe.

When I was younger I read (I think it was) a Sweetvalley book, and one of the girls had broken her arm and was getting chocolate bars and the remote control and nice-ness in general from everyone.
In reality, when you're 19 and not 8, no one really gives a shit about your broken pinky toe. Let alone share their damn candy.
You get a little "awww! How did it happen?" but once you tell them you were running around the house (literally) at 3 AM like a moron the look of sympathy is replaced with the 'God, I knew you'd hurt yourself being yourself one day.' face.
In other words, laughter.
And mockery in general.

Drama drama drama.

And yet, for some bewildering reason...




I'm still in love with life.

The love-struck,
ubergirl

Hmm... It seems from your posts that you do not like Saudi men. Do many Saudi women feel this way or are you an exception? Which ethnicities of men, then, do you find most attractive? Also, is it possible for a Saudi woman to marry a non-Saudi man? Sorry for asking all of these questions, but I find this to be quite interesting.

Another great post. Really.

At3AM??? My family would scold me for being up running around!

If you hurt yourself being yourself, you get to refine your ideas of what you yourself should be (so you can have a self that avoids getting hurt in the future).

If you hurt yourself being some other way--say, the way other people want you to be--then the only better option you have is to try the alternative of being yourself. And then you're in for at least one more injury before you get to that "refining yourself" step.

Soooooo...laugh though they may, you're still one step ahead of the game.

It is possible for a Saudi woman to marry a foreigner. I am married to a Saudi woman, my sister in law is married to an Egyptian and lives and works in Jeddah Saudi Arabia.

One must get permission from the Saudi government for such marriages, or they will not recognise it. It can also be hard to get permission from the family to marry a foreigner.

Uber-just think, it could have been worse. Doing crazy stupid stuff sometimes is what actually helps you from becoming crazy.

Have fun!

How did you lot get onto Saudi Men and read that Uber does 'not like Saudi men' from this blog?
Stop hyjacking Uber's blog!
This is about how she hurt her toe. We are supposed to offer sympathy.
Don't worry about those silly people who want you to change Uber. How can you? You are the only you, you can be.
Glad you are 'still in love with life.' What a great thing to read. Made me smile.

Abu Sinan, that is wonderful. It must be difficult to meet a Saudi woman in the first place, let alone marry one. If I had such a chance, I definitely would not pass it up.

Kay, a broken toe might hurt but a broken heart is far more painful. You just have to learn to take it like a man and continue on with life. I apologize for any breach of etiquette. Annyeong.

Your last sentence gave me relief!
Most people just give up on life, for the first bad thing that happens to them, it sucks, doesn't it?
I'm not optimistic, I'm not melancholic either...
and I hope that your little cute toe heals soon.

bye-bye !
