Bad few days

Me not happy. Ppl messin w/ me. First bank screw up left me in tears of anger. I told them fix it in 48 hours or else I’m switching banks. I hate yelling. Then MTS screwed up my phone bill too. Then uni wanted more cash from me to audit a course that they feel has nothing to do w/ my degree. Buddy, I don’t got time to take Cheese Appreciation 101. If I sign up for a course it’s cuz I need it damn it. The same course on the course calender says it’s offered first semester so I was worried I would lose my TA job b/c there was a conflict only to find out later that the class is offered next semester and there was a mistake in the calender. Then WISE told me I wasn’t eligible to work for them b/c I wasn’t taking any courses in the first semester. The coordinator called the head of the department and found out I am a full time grad student and then retracted the statement. On top of all of this I am very very very intimidated by my research right now. It seems completely impossible.

My head hurts. My neck hurts. My jaw keeps buildin’ up pressure so I need to crack it.

I was invited to a BBQ today but really don’t feel like going. I have to pick up Tipu’s dry-cleaning too and I don’t feel like doing that either.

I want to bake brownies but don’t feel up to it.

I’ve gained a lot of weight. I looked in the mirror last night and was like… “wow, how the crap did that happen?” I used to have a flat stomach… iz not like that anymore. There is considerable plubbage. Everyone thinks I’m a stick tho but I don’t wear plubbage-exposing clothes so they don’t know any better.

Nope… no brownies… I’m gonna find me some fruit… and prolly some Tylenol.

  1. Brownies are YUMMY, and dont worry nusraat I have gained alot of weight aswell , Im prettty sure its the marriage thing, meh its all good don’t worry but just keep boiling those veggies and eat small porportions and u should be good. tkae care

  2. sadiya says:

    you DO NOT have PLUBBAGE omg ur body doesnt even understand the MEANING of plubbage. omg i cant believe u can even pronounce plubbage. ACK! what will that take? ONE push up to get rid of? sheesh.

    anyway i hope u had a nice time at the BBQ *sweet smile* hehe. im sowwie u had a bad few days. im having a bad decade and a half it seems. *pats u* there there

  3. Nusraat says:

    I’m glad I forced myself to go to the BBQ. To psyche myself up I told myself… “hey, auntie might have potato salad”. Thankfully there was potato salad. There was also baklava which is my all time all time all time fave. Hangin’ out w/ a bunch a girlies is just what I needed I thinks.

    Sarah I haven’t seen u since the reception yaar. Where are you hiding? I don’t do boiled veggies. I will try and lower portions tho. Thanks for the advice.

    Sadiya you’re absolutely so talented mashallah. You’ll find a way out of wpg don’t you worry.

  4. Zz says:

    hello pet. i am going to come over, we will bake brownies, we will eat them with 2% PLUBBAGING MILK and then we will undress and compare our plubbage to prove you lack plubbage and that i have an abundant supply of plubbage and then i will cut and paste my plubbage onto you and run away so you can be sufficiently toasty warm in the winter. how’s that sound?

  5. Nusraat says:

    zz i sense some anger.

  6. Zz says:

    just a little. but not towards you.

  7. Zz says:

    and by a little, i mean lots. and by lots, i mean tons and tons and by tons and tons i mean uber crazy amounts of lots.

  8. Nusraat says:

    I think women in particular really struggle with body image. I don’t know how to get around it myself. I know I’m not unhealthy. I could be healthier but that’s not what really concerns me. I don’t look like a model, a movie star or someone else famous. I’m dissapointed with how I feel but there’s no use in denying it.

  9. shaheen says:

    omg subhanAllah. Nusraat Masood of the clan masood. You, of all people, should not be self conscious about your weight, looks, or absolutely anything. MASHAALLAH you are totally gorgeous, inside and out. And that goes for all the girls that commented above. SERIOUSLy. i mean, sadiya’s right, that’s like one pushup for u and it’s all gone. Not to mention, you’re growing something i have too much of now, you now have something that starts with H and ends with an S, and man this is ridiculous, just take my word for it. You are absoutely fine mashaAllah and certainly the last person I would expect to be worrying about their looks. Gah. Mullah, I mean, talk some sense into her. tish tish!!

    btw.. did u just call my phone? ;)

  10. Zz says:

    i just realized you left me a voicemail. i only just checked it. i feel bad, that was like a week ago. anyway, it’s too late to call you now so i will call you tomorrow. aamir has informed me of the news (but it’s not good information). but anyway.

    i find it hard to believe you have plub. but if you want a starve friend, i’ll starve with you. *peck* even though you’re scrawny. like really, i could poke you and you’d break. that is, if the wind doesn’t blow you away first.

  11. Nusraat says:

    Shaheen: What starts with H and ends with S? Hass? My mom-in-law wants me to gain more weight. I don’t think I understood that request. Lost in translation or something. Anyways, yes Shaheen I did call u last night. My home phone (VoIP) doesn’t show up on displays though. I think there’s some sorta default that I gotta toggle the other way or sth. Can’t wait to hang out w/ you tonight honey.

    Zz: STARVE?!!!!! sTARVvE?!!! wHo THE *BUNK* SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THAT CRAPPINESS CRAZY CRAP. If you were in front of me I would whop you one over the head you butt monkey. Yeah I called b/c I wanted to see if your bro could hook me up w/ tiles for an art/home decor project. I wanted to tile a coffee table or sth. I went to a few stores and they cost a fricken’ fortune. A small handful can easily run $10, especially the bejewelly kind (which also could end up very trashy and got-from-Vegas-yardsale looking). Still some kinks in that idea.

    Shaheen: After Sept. 13th you gotta come over, look at my dresser and tell me how to doll it up. I’m dyin’ to paint sth!!!! I gotta do some presentation on the 13th and before then I dont wanna get distracted, ie. no Harry VI either.

  12. Zz says:

    you can also gain weight by babies. fyi. in case engineering doesn’t teach you simple science. not sure how that works. my cat is on a diet. how hilarious is that? she’s lost one pound but is rather miserable and my dad claims “if she is happy fat, let her be fat” so let that be a lesson to all of us. stupid skinny britney spears. who invented her anyway? her mother must be so ashamed. ‘oh hi hello, yes, my daugher is that rancid skank britney spears, yes we’re very close.’ that seems to be an intriguing conversation. the new take on skinny dipping: chunky dunking.

    i enjoy your rage. i enjoy when you threaten to whop me over the head, and then state i am a butt monkey. perhaps you need a bath.

    yes. tiles are expensive. i take it you’re not looking for floor tiles. we might have extras of this hideous green sort (the type in our kitchen) because the guy is doing the front entrance. and may have extra. but i’m not sure. but anyway. you can glue them to your walls and throw things at them and see how long it takes to break.

    as you can see i’m lonely. i’ll shut up now.

  13. i’m around ;) in la la land still I beleive. We go in and outta town and are just spending good quality time with the family. Oh and i bought a new kitten and SADIYA shes kinda sad i must say that u couldnt come to see her yesterday. Nusraat we definitely have to hook up for pool seeing as I always kick ur hiny ;) , haha i wish u always win dammit! anyways take care and gimme a call cell # is ***-**** ( i hope no weirdos check out ur website as im displaying my cell # oopsy, well its ok my hubby will handle that) ok im out , salam

  14. Nusraat says:

    zz: i don’t remember britney as ever being as skinny as nicole richie, paris, hilary duff (now), lindsay lohan (now)… etc. mind you now that i think of it i wouldnt want that kind of outwardliness. i think desperate housewives-like bodies that are thinnish but well toned is the prize.

    i’ll take any tiles…

    we’re gonna need to meet up missie.

    sarah: dont post ur cell genious. i’ll call u soon. i may need ur kitten for a little experiment…. *muahahhahha*

  15. uh oh an experiment? i dunno nusraat, shes our baby

  16. Zz says:

    you can have my cat. she’s a completely absurd psycho sociopath. by all means, take her. HILARY DUFF? NOOOO DO NOT SUCCUMB TO THE TEMPTATION!!! anyway. i’m excited. i have no social life and no friends (seeing as you left me.) you want to meet up with ME? *CRIES* YOU LOVE ME. ok. i’ll stop. i bought my cat a CAT TREE. it’s 7 feet tall and massive. and actually looks like a tree. but that aisde. when do we get to play? i require love and affection and no one provides it to me. *tear* well if we starve AND work out at the same time, that’s optimal. let’s do it.

  17. Nusraat says:

    sarah i wanna see if tipu/mullah/mohammad is allergic or not. i think he is.

    zz no more starve crap. i mean it.

  18. Zz says:

    ok ok. do you know a guy named Antu? or is it Natu….no..i think it’s Antu.

  19. sadiya says:

    its more a matter of seperating body image with self image. we are not our weight or dress size! *shakes fist in the air* i think im the poster girl for poor self image.. *sigh*

    nusraat what are u talking about u dont look like a movie star? ur like the brown alley mcbeal. i’ve never watched the show, if thats a bad thing dont start calling me monkey butt or whatever u did in that fit of rage against Zz.

    sarah i tried calling ur cell.. i just kept hitting the * button and couldnt get thru (teehee *gigglesnort*)

    Zz my cat is fat and happy too. and spoiled and affectionately constipated. she doesnt love us she just sux the love out of us. shes so cute and i hate it cuz shes sho cuuute and fat and shes a SNOB aaaaaaahhhhhhh

  20. shaheen says:

    nusraat!! did i leave my purse in ur car?!?! if so! call my cell ***-****

    haha jk. I think my phone is in my purse btw. Which has your new phone number. Which I don’t have on me. For which i need to phone in order to find out whether you have my purse. Which I need desperately.

    Thank you. Thank you very much. EMAIL me your response. Thank you. Thank you very much.

  21. Nusraat says:

    zz: yup i know a bg named Ontu.

    sadiya: well said. i’m just hung up on that stuff right now. it’ll pass ia. i’ve never seen ur cat. hmm… what if we lock up mullah w/ ur cat, zz’s cat and sarah’s kitten… then we’d really know :)

    shaheen: found it. sent u an email w/ my ph. numbers.

  22. Zz says:

    i think three cats at the same time might kill him…LETS DO IT. i joke i joke. except my cat is psycho and would eat the other 2. (regardless of their girth or lack thereof.) i feel better that you also have a fat cat (sadiya) that sucks the love out but provides none. damn cats. so there was probably some purpose to this ramble but i forgot.

    you know what’s funny nusraat? when i was little, i would look at all the “generation above me” girls like you and think wow…they’re so gorgeous i hope i’m that amazing and pretty one day, and now here you are thinking you have plub.

  23. Zz says:

    OH I REMEMBER NOW! we’re all going skydiving. Ontu. he spelled it differently on his name tag. but anyway. i invited myself.

  24. Nusraat says:

    Plub isnt bothering me as much lately. I’m nervous about my masters. Plub seems so irrelevant. I figure the key to success is to work hard but play harder. Right now playing includes eating. It won’t always but right now it does. I just need to fit in some exercise.

    As for skydiving Tipu is really really jealous of you right now. He so wants to go but I said inshallah next year. I don’t fancy it so much but I am interested enough to go w/ him inshallah.

  25. sadiya says:

    i call it chubb *pokes my tubby chubby* be gone YOU

  26. Zz says:

    oh. but you two are supposed to come skydive with us. wouldn’t that be hilarious if i hopped out of the plane and got sucked into the engine of some other plane and came out in Zz-bits. hahaha ok. maybe not. you know, the best way to get rid of excess fat/weight is to get together with people you like and play sports. i’m serious.

  27. Tipu says:

    ahem…

    After watching a blizzard of comments to this post, I am beginning to wonder why this post was not called : Plubbophobia, Hanging Mutton, Yikes! I got it again.

    Nevertheless, it is human nature to not be satisfied with what Allah has given us. The skinny will cry for extra plubbage, the obese will cry for a reduction of plubbage, but if the fit and acceptable (in this case my dear wife here) whines about a little increase and unleashes a paranoia that is baseless, what is one to do?

    There are girls out there that would kill to have the biological structure of my beloved wife. It is indeed hard to please a woman in terms of appreciating her beauty. If you call her beautiful all the time, she will question your motives with suspicion. If you don’t appreciate her beauty frequently she will start having a complex. It is hard for men to discover the fine line and the safe zone of appreciating and keeping it under balance and avoid confrontation.

    My mother had suggested that my wife put on some meat in the RIGHT PLACES. At one time even I agreed that she was almost a tooth-pick. However, she is much better now.

    Finally, I love my wife the way she is, be she a baloon or a toothpick , it’s the person inside that I love and the heart that beats for me. Allah knows best.

  28. Zz says:

    Your man called you a balloon.

    LOL jk. what a popular post eh? actually i’m just really bored and need human interaction. what a babe she is. rarrrr

    I want to cry.

  31. Rehan says:

    I’m telling you, you should’ve hit Nusraat in Canada when you had the chance! Ah well, at least you put Tipu out of his misery. Stupid Ural.

    Damn Zia and his treasure trove.

    -Don’t mess with Siam

  32. Tipu says:

    My soldiers fought bravely till the last man standing. Their bravery was second to none, some were bleeding and crying as others were defending them. I demanded proper funeral for them, but you heinous beasts, butchers and greedy cheats did not have the least bit of appreciation for my brave soldiers. They died and were thrown into the pit scattered and piled atop each other. ewww! astagfir, la-hawla-wala-quwat!

    Until next time…wait for my vicious battle-plan in the works! M-M-M-MUHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!

  33. Zz says:

    hey HEY mister. you’re the one who kept kicking me out of my CONTINENTS! had you NOT destroyed me every round, i would have been able to attack her! blast.

  34. Rehan says:

    Tipu: Your soldiers were innocent young men whose lives were tragically lost due to the irrational and juvenile foreign policy of their government (ie. you). Had you not ordered them to their deaths outnumbered against an immensely powerful Siam, they would perhaps still be alive to this day. You should be cast into exile.

    Zz: You were a gathering threat. I had to act! It’s all Lisa’s fault. I don’t know how, but it is!

    -Don’t mess with Siam

    -Don’t mess with Siam

  35. Lisa says:

    rehan: “Don’t mess with Siam”…it’s more like “don’t mess with Zz!”
    My fault…i’ll show you who’s fault it is!!!
    I love the hostility and aggression this game can bring out…LOVE IT!

  36. Zz says:

    WHat?! a gathering threat?!?! i wasn’t the one stashing my cards to cash in at the end and gather like 60 armies at a t ime! BLAST! can’t we just blame it all on someone more neutral and helpless? like…Tipu? what? who said that? not me. Y’all were just jealous that we had so many countries! that’s right. i’m just so. damn. GOOD.
