Going

Friday was a weird day.

I woke up to a weird dream I couldn't remember; I deleted a contact from my phone; I added a contact to my phone; I reminded my friend that my life was the consistent one and there is never anything "new;" my plans to straighten my hair were foiled by an at-home father; I drank ice-tea that had stalks of lemongrass in it; I saw a friend who I hadn't seen in several years but had just mentioned that afternoon;  I played ring-around-the-Metro with hundreds of Usher fans; and I got a phone call that would change my life.

And now, I'm going to Mount Everest and Palestine.

I'm going with a group of 18+ Palestinians from around the world to share the Palestinian story and spirit with groups of people from around the world. Lammet Shamel bt lim il shiml.

I'm going to represent Beitilu and At Tur, dar El-Khatib and dar Abu El-Hawa.

I'm going to represent the Palestinian, Muslim, female, Gemini, "gingy"s.

I'm going...God-willing.
