yeah yeah I know , 3o2baly


New born babies, weddings and sitting with senior relatives, these are events were you usually give greetings, congratulations and so on, and always get a 3o2balek in return... everything is good until that "3o2balek." I really hate that word. I know it's the most normal, expected word in response for congrats, but I just wish people would STOP SAYING IT to me, specially when it comes with the whole meaningful look, or verbal stress.
Because although to most people it comes out as simply "I wish you well," felsaree3 which is fine, but, to others it's just so upsetting when they give you that pity look and thoughtful voice, which to my already-drama-queen, over reacting self goes in as "ooh poor you I know haytham's dead but you're so strooong and you'll get over it and find somebody else and have three babies and a happy bla bla bla" and it just infuriates me, makes me sad, and then I start thinking I am becoming a gloomy person when it's actually their fault, they're stirring it up.

So, in addition to my new year resolution of taking any motivational (specially career) quotes and chucking them into the talkers' throat, I've also think I should punch people who tell me 3o2balek in the chin .... :) yeah that idea actually makes me smile, it'll look weird in a wedding though, me going crazy punching practically everyone I meet, but still it's very satisfying all the same.
