Inauspicious

Starting this blog during Ramadan might not have been my best idea. When you start a blog about being a nonpracticing closeted Kuwaiti lesbian there are probably better months to start it that the holiest month on the Islamic calender, but needs must. There's some stuff I just had to get out, and it felt like a speak now or forever hold your silence sort of situation. So I am. Speaking. Now.

So here are the basics. I'm Kuwaiti. Female. Muslim. Ish. Gay. Ish. Mid-twenties. Unsuccessful writer of mediocre talent currently between situations, thinking of pursuing of activist work.

Think of my mind as a busy metropolis and of this blog as its main landfill. This means everything from bad poetry to worse erotica to treatises on my sexuality and what it means to me.

My comment is a few years too late, therefore excuse my presumed rudeness

But i just got ur twitter acct suggested to me, (like today) still don't now why though

anyways, back to ur question in ur post #1.... La wallah? u don't think ramadan is the best time?

getting my laugh out of the way, i promise not to laugh anymore over anything.....

Like i said, ur profile was one of the suggestions on my twitter, so apologies in advance if some mix up got in.. not that i'm complaining...

I've only read a couple of ur posts so far, but i do promise to read some more in the days and weeks to come inshalla :)

Hello there!
i m gonna start reading this blog, like right now. Why? because you intrigue me. So yeah, I'll start reading it and I really hope there are some levels where I can relate to you as a lesbian (To be more precise a lesbian stuck in Kuwait). :)
Oh and I hope you don't mind if I comment where ever I can't resist commenting.

Cheers!
