Are You in Denial?
A few weeks ago I bumped into an old schoolmate I hadn’t seen in ages. Stopped to say hello and how long it’s been when she told me, “I know all about you!!” That caught me off guard.
Her: “You have a blog, don’t you?”
Me: “No!”
I have no idea why I said no! It was an automatic and instant response.
She then explained how she came to that conclusion, all of which made perfect sense! But by then, I felt stupid. I couldn’t go back and say, “Yeah, it’s me. I lied.” I had to continue denying it, all the while thinking “why?!” It’s not like I write about anything personal or about anything I would mind others knowing about.
So, this goes out to you, if you’re reading. Yes, it’s me! And yes, everything you said and your conclusions were right on!

Cat: el meshkila by the time i realized what’s happening, i looked too stupid to back out.. especially that i was SO adamant about my denial! :/
Enigma: exactly!
DR: yes yes… mouth sometimes moves WAY faster.. especially when caught off-guard!

LOL! I think you’re all talking about me
I am the ‘malgoofa’ schoolmate who outed you in the mall! To be honest, even after your denial I still had my doubts (I KNEW IT)! but I also felt really badly about it cause maybe I overstepped some bloggers code or something? I respect your right to anonymity and should not have put you on the spot like that. Its just that I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog 
as you know, I’ve been off the island for awhile and the homeland blogs keep me connected, so I just wanted to acknowledge the essential service you provide! Your secret is safe with me. Keep on blogging!

zak: ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!
yes yes it’s you! glad to see you on here again and glad you got the truth. Had no idea how to reach you again to tell you. Was happy to know that you’re reading.. although, I have to admit, haven’t been in a writing mood lately! For you though, will see what I can do

hello.. i like your blog, and this post is just so funny! i usually invite people to my blog
which is kinda too open 
i don’t know if i’m missing some of the thrill in being anonymous but i’m already enjoying it without being so

Oh hahah, isn’t that something! Well there she is and it seems she’s a great sport too!
I hate when my words precede my thinking! When It happens I feel like an airhead.

N: yeah, great sport! normally my words dont beat my thinking - except when i’m caught totally off guard i guess!
Marzouq: hey hey! it’s been a while.. i have to be selective when reading your blog now cuz of the chocolate cake pics that greet me! gotta read it when i’m not hungry.
whatsupbahrain: i AM busy!
