[ A Late Introduction ]

I just realized...I never actually set aside a specific post to introduce myself. Where have my manners gone? I do that to random strangers too...talk without introduction. Who needs an identity anyways!? Tsk tsk. Okay then.

My name is Yasmeen Fahmy and I'm 19 years old. I currently study Economics and Geography at Rutgers University and I work at the television station there. I had a variety of roles including a hosting position for the morning show...which I quit last semester (for several, good reasons). All of society's labels aside, I like to think of myself as a life enthusiast. I'm not sure if there's a better word for it. I like to explore. I don't like being in the same place for too long. If I am, I'm probably in deep, deep thought about the universe and morals etc.

In that sense I'm partially a philosopher too. Probably not as talented as Plato or Socrates but still. I love watching films, old, new, anything intriguing and thought-provoking. I especially like Documentaries and Thrillers. I also write, not as frequently as a used to. I used to write a lot of fiction. Now I write just to exercise my style and occasionally to start screenplays and never finish them. If I could choose my dream job right now it would be a Director/Actress, Film Animator (Pixar), or a Fashion Designer. Seems out of line for me to then study Economics and Geography, yes? Well that's just the way the pieces fell for me and I'm okay with it.

My best friend (and lover) is Mo. He's wonderful and I'm not sure how much he likes to be written about so I'll leave it at that. I'll probably talk about him more later anyway. And finally, let me also throw in my general likes and dislikes.

Likes: Pandas, Unicorns, Tea, Films, Jasmine Flowers, Suspenders, New Clothes, Surprises, Chunky Jewelry, Getting My Hair Cut, Soft Hair, Handsome Boys Named Mo, Playing Board Games, Being Drawn, Drawing Others, Drawing Strange Stuff, Talking In Silly Voices, Postcards, Hand Written Letters, Packages In The Mail and Meeting Interesting People (That's all for now!)

Dislikes: Chewing Sounds, Dirty Laundry, Messiness, Unreliable People, Sunny Days, Heat, Summer, Lifeguards, The Smell Of Chlorine, Tacky Clothes, When Girls Match Their Belt To Their Shoes, Judgmental People, Being Asked About My Faith, Losing Buttons!!, Getting Giftcards For Presents.



Cheers, Yasmeen
