^^ good luck with your interview thing.
lebanon is on my mind. it one of those days where i feel kinda home sick for it. i really want to go and eat there because the food is brilliant and i dont just mean the lebanese food- they make the best hamburgers you will ever eat full stop. lebanon is a place where even the weeds taste good.
and i want to get in touch with all the activist stuff going on there. like i've been following a few groups for years now and a few have come to my attention recently and it pains me to see them do stuff and not be there. i know the names of people involved, the places they work and their life stories in some cases. people from my organisation have had contact with a couple of them and i want to go and meet them and see what they are like and help out while im there. i want to meet bassem chit, ghassan makarem, nadine mouawad, george azzi and i want to go to zico house where helem(queer rights organisation) and i think the socialist group and anti-racism movement work out of and i want to see nasawiya's feminist space and maybe meet the peeps at meem if they will let me(its a private queer womens/transmens group- except for nadine, i only know their usernames). one day i will go and i will meet my comrades in lebanon and ask them about the IST in lebanon and ask the others about politics in lebanon and give meem the books i was not able to give them 2.5 years ago. i want to go check out the graffiti too- there are a couple of pieces i want to see in real life instead of on the net. sigh i miss libnan.
Seriously? Home sick?
Let's switch places lol.
