Hey Again, the exams are finally over (for now) so it’s time to blog again!
Here it goes ... Starting with the tags!
I’ve been tagged twice, first one was by Abed a couple of months ago (Sorry for the late response!). The second tag I got was from Ora, and will be replied to in the next post.
Now on a side note, am not really into tags guys so please spare me the apologies next time: I won’t be answering any more tags! (Thanks Abed and Ora though, nothing personal but I really feel terrible about chaining).
1) Do you like the look and the contents of your blog?
Yeah, I designed every single bit of my blog so it looks the exact way I want it to be. Also my posts are about stuff I personally find interesting, so my blog is unquestionably the most interesting blog I ever came across :D
2) Does your family know about your blog?
My younger brother has no idea what blogging is about; he thinks am one of those freaks who write down their diaries on their computers. My little 7-year old sister has quite a better idea; she often asks me to navigate through my latest posts, show her the pictures, and tell her what the post is about if she finds any interesting pictures. She’s also been nagging on me for a while now to make a post about her and upload her picture!
3) Can you tell your friends about your blog? Do you consider it a private thing?
I don’t consider it a private thing, though I don’t like to tell people who don’t know what blogging is about it.
4) Did your blog positively affect your mind? Give an example.
Negative. Blogging has never been an adequate space for me to pose and debate my own views, although few times comments did bring good points to my attention.
5) Do you just read the blogs of those who comment on your blog? Or do you try to discover new blogs?
I don’t have enough time to look for new blogs, but I certainly do check the blogs of those who comment on mine.
6) What does the number of visitors to your blog mean? Do you use a traffic counter?
The number of hits a blog gets is an indicator of how popular it is. Checking how this number changes with new posts gives the blogger a good idea of what topics interest visitors more. I use Google Analytics to monitor traffic on my blog.
7) Did you imagine how other bloggers look like?
Never bothered. I actually know what most of them look like because they post their pictures.
8) Do you think that blogging has any real benefit?
Any “Real” benefit? I don’t think so.
9) Do you think that the blogsphere is a stand alone community, separated from the real world?
The blogosphere is a passive reflection of the real world. Both worlds are linked in many ways, but disconnected in far more other ways. Still, they're certainly not separated.
10) Do you think that criticizing your blog is useful?
I honestly doubt that :P
11) Do some political blogs scare you? Do you avoid them? Does arresting some bloggers in the Arab world surprise you?
Yeah, political blogs are boring to an extent that scares me. I feel a bit scared when I think about political blogs, especially at night :F
12) Have you ever thought about what might happen to your blog in case you died?
I’ll keep posting from the other world.
13) Which blogger had the greatest impression on you?
Ummm, nobody?
14) Which blogger you think is the most similar to you?
Same as 13
15) Name a song you want to listen to.
Metallica's "Unforgiven", dedicated to Abed and Ora :P
16) Ask five bloggers to answer these questions on their blogs.
Am not asking anybody; the tag ends here :)

Ghaith said:
lol, it's a bit ironic that the first response to this particular post is "You are Tagged", don't you think? :P
Although I asked not to be tagged, I still find it mean to reject such requests once they're made so I guess I got no choice but to go with your tag!
Yalla no big deal, thanks anyways :D
Tala said:
Hala Hala =D

Ghaith said:
Tala
O ente salmeh, thanks!
Naturalblu
If I posted a single picture of her, she'll ask me to turn this blog into a journal for her childish activities, believe me I know :P
Anyways, she may start her own blog someday. Am sure it'll be the same day I quit blogging.

loolll @ "she may start her own blog someday. Am sure it'll be the same day I quit blogging."
please tell me it's Lubna? but I've doubts that it's Lina instead:(
Ghaith said:
lol Lubna, what difference does it make? :P
My Lubna has a calm character and she's not into bothering me. Lina is the exact opposite; she keeps popping into my room and trying to get herself into whatever stuff am doing. If am typing on the keyboard, she comes and types few letters, If am watching a movie, she grabs herself a seat and joins me, If am playing on one of the guitars, she keeps stroking the strings of the other. She also likes to inquire about any new activities/objects in the room as well as to be informed of me and my brother's departure times so she could come and enjoy the room freely.
I so often have to carry her out of my room to get rid of her :D
You know now who was I talking about? ;)
Lubna said:
that little sister of yours will sure grow up into something smart. She won't let anything pass by her without having her own fingerprint on it. I really like that..
and the only difference it makes... is that i would've prefered the name to be Lubna.... you know... we all -the Lubnas'- share similar fine qualities:D
Ghaith said:
My sister Lubna has as much good qualities as Lina does. Only her nature is a bit more calm and quiet :)
Lubna is more like me when I was her age. Lina is the action figure in the family :P
