Welcome
They say that people enter our lives for a reason. I’ve tried to sort through the different people who have come in and out of my life. To an extent, I can actually figure out some of the reasons why certain people came in.. and why departed. I can see the effects they’ve had on me, both positive and negative. I can see how that’s molded me into the person I am today.But you.. I wonder what purpose you served walking into my life.. And I wonder if there’s a purpose behind you leaving it.

College Football Upset!
The undefeated OSU (Ohio State Univ) Buckeyes might be ranked #1 in the polls right now, but it’s another OSU (Oregon State Univ) that caused the uproar today. Oregon pulled a great upset by handing the #3 ranked USC Trojans their first loss!

Trichotillomania
When I was younger, I used to play with my eyelashes. My mom kept telling me to stop, so I finally did. My hand just moved from my eyelashes to my hair though. I started to play with my hair, cutting it from its split ends, or sometimes from the roots. I never really understood why I did it. Didn’t even notice that I was. Somehow, my hand just found its way and started on its own.It’s digusting. It’s a nasty habit. But it’s just that, a habit! Something that happens automatically, without me even realizing that I was doing it. It took me years to try to get past it. Al7mdl’Allah, since I put on the 7ejab, it’s a lot easier now. I don’t have access to my hair most of the day. That managed to curb the temptation.
I just discovered today that it’s an actual ‘disorder’! It’s called Trichotillomania. Here’s the definition according to Wikipedia:
Trichotillomania (TTM) or “trich” is an impulse control disorder characterized by the repeated urge to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, beard hair, nose hair, pubic hair, eyebrows or other body hair. It may be distantly related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, with which it shares some similarities.
80% of those afflicted are female.

Sleep Deprivation
Will someone please tell my body that sleep is our friend? I love sleep. I enjoy sleeping just as much as everyone else. I had finally managed to fix my sleeping pattern before Ramadan, only to get it messed up again.Now, instead of it getting better.. it is getting worse! I sit there chatting to family and friends in the US & UK until THEY tell me that they’re going to bed. Do I take that as a sign and get myself to bed?? Nope. I just look for something else to do to kill time.
It is now 9 am. I am still awake. I will go pass out for a few hours. Hope to resolve this matter tonight when I will ATTEMPT to go to bed early!
Wish me luck.
*update: ok so I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, checking the aggregator, I discovered that I’m not the only one who couldn’t sleep tonight. Shakl el meshkila 3aweesa with others as well. The bad news? =) It’s now 10 am and see, I found another way to stay awake longer. Khallas I promise I’m going to bed now.
