There is a way...

There is a way to access Youtube and the videos on it Libya. I don't want to give it away on here, but if you do want to know how (before the window is closed and the mute button is pressed), do message me on Yahoo Messenger 10 (the latest and greatest) or dash off an e-mail to me. My e-mail address can be found on the Blogger page, or right here mharkema@yahoo.com . Do reference this blog, because I get a lot of SPIM requests from the "cheap, loose woman" variation (I was trying to say it nicely and politely!) of the "ugly American", and I usually either ignore them or send a message back saying that "I'm sorry, but I'm not going to add someone I don't know, when they're being so vague about who they are." Or I send a nasty message to them using the term I did not use above, and that gets them off my back. It just depends on my mood and level of PMS ;-)

If it's in the evening hours here on the West Coast (I'm 9 hours behind Tripoli time-- when it's time for your iftar prayers, I'm either having a late breakfast or early lunch, and in some cases, just crawling out of bed!), your early morning, then I may be chatting with my fiance, Alex, and I'll tell you that I'm "busy". Don't take it personal, that's just me not wanting to ignore the man that I love. For the time being, we have a long distance relationship, and it's extremely difficult to coordinate things. Somehow we manage. Probably because one of us (me) is a Type A personality, and he indulges my need for a set schedule. He hasn't taken the test yet, which probably means right there that he isn't one. A Type A personality usually has something that needs to be done done right off, before most other people have even started. We're the uber-overachievers, the ones that make other people look like slackers!

That's probably why I should work with a tourist group, because of my "need" for regularity, for set things and schedules. As long as the schedule with a tour group would provide some flexibility and allow me to go "outside the box", I'd be perfectly happy to utilize one. As long as they're not expensive. I'm cheap... very cheap (though not according to some people... I call them 'parental units') LOL. Variances in my normal routine do sometimes bother me; it's a normal Type A personality trait. I can usually go with the flow should things change, but I'm inwardly annoyed by it.

I hope your Ramadan is going well... and to all Muslims out there fasting from sunup to sundown, y'all are stronger than I am, I'm telling you that. For me to fast all day during the summer heat, well, I'd be dehydrated after 72 hours (if that). I know because it's happened before. May God continue to bless you!
