Self Conscious, No More
I woke up one day very confident, and not shy.
I used to not be able to enter or walk comfortably anywhere, in a mall, office, bank, wedding, etc. I used to worry about what to do with my hands, is it rude to establish eye contact, is it expected that i smile, nod, greet? How will I greet, with a handshake, a kiss?
And one day i noticed that i was walking into a situation where i would have been normally uncomfortable, and was so at ease, and oblivious to any surrounding humans. I was confident, not shy, and i was not thinking of how to behave or act.
How and when it happened, i am not sure. But i am really glad that i grew out of that childish demeanor.

PRISON CONFESSION: Arnold (left) has admitted to killing former lover Winter (right). (Supplied)The British ex-boyfriend of missing South African Kerry Winter has admitted to murdering the 35-year-old and dumping her body in the sea off Dubai's coast.
Winter disappeared a month ago and was last seen by neighbours being beaten with a baseball bat by her ex, bundled into a car and driven away.
Mark Arnold, 42, had previously admitted to the assault, but maintained he cleaned up her wounds and dropped her off on the side of the road in the desert, according to the victim's family.
However, in an interview from his prison cell with UK newspaper the Daily Mail Arnold has finally confessed to battering his former love to death during "30 seconds of madness".

"It was 30 seconds of madness... I think I hit her three times... she died because of me," he told the newspaper.
"It was a total accident. I am not a violent man and I am not a murderer. It was an accident but she died because of me and I am willing to take my punishment.
"I am prepared to admit to the truth but I do not want to be fitted up."
Arnold, director of a Middle East design company, told the newspaper he and Winter bumped into each other in a bar on Aug. 20, the night of her disappearance, and got into an argument.
Arnold said he then followed Winter home and the pair got into a fight outside her apartment. During the fight he said he hit her with a stick a few times, but denies it was a baseball bat.
Arnold said after the fight the pair drove off to a quiet spot to talk and ended up falling asleep there. When he awoke she was dead, he said.
"When I woke up, she was dead. I was horrified, so scared. I can only think that she had a thin skull or something like that because she was okay when we got in the car," he told the Daily Mail.
"I was scared. I tried to cover my tracks and put Kerry on my boat and left it anchored off shore.
"I returned after work and drove around for four or five hours and ended up putting Kerry's body into the sea. I do not know where. I wish I had never gone anywhere near the villa. I wish I had swallowed my pride and my anger."
However, despite the confession Arnold may only face a charge of manslaughter unless police recover the body.
"Our legal advice is that if they don't find a body, he may only face a manslaughter charge and a lower sentence. He's got a top lawyer and may be thinking about that," Winter's brother Kurt, 41, told the newspaper.
"He has changed his story all along and spoken hogwash. We have prepared ourselves for Kerry's death but we won't rest until we find her body."
Arnold was arrested after returning from a trip to the UK. He flew to the UK two days after Winter disappeared.
Friends of Winter have portrayed Arnold as obsessive, possessive and jealous, and said Winter had accused her ex-boyfriend of stalking her and that she was forced to move home three times.

Its Been a While
Embarak Aliakum il Shahar
I really want to blog, but whenever i do, i'm in bed and wish that i had a mental writer (i think and it types).
So, politically things have gone from bad to worst, as expected, and i am trying to be as apathetic as possible.
Work wise, i have a new job (ish) since March 2008.
I've discovered facebook, but i haven't gotten into it.
I suffered summer of 08 in Kuwait, almost entirely-- and it pleases me to say that i still have some parts of my brain working.
Its not rude to ignore some people.
Some people are genuinely good people.
Food advise: Berhi dates with KDD Sour cream or KDD Royal (thick & creamy, tastes like Greek yogurt).
