“For me, wanting something so much does not make it happen, but rather pushes it away. But I keep wanting it, wishing it and thinking about a lot, until it becomes evident it will never happen. Then I start doing it all over again on another thing.” — stupidity incarnation

“In French, you don’t really say “I miss you.” You say “tu me manques,” which is closer to “you are missing from me.”
I love that. “You are missing from me.” You are a part of me, you are essential to my being. You are like a limb, or an organ, or blood. I cannot function without you.” —

Some notes from inside the #MubarakTrial court room

Numbers of recruits was more than lawyers & journalists combined. #Egypt

1/ I was sitting beside brother of Ahmed Ramzy, one of AlAdli’s aides, he was there from before 8 and was very nervous ‪#MubarakTrial ‪#Egypt

2/ Ramzy’s brother mentioned that Ramzy’s son was also present but was sitting elsewhere ‪#MubarakTrial ‪#Egypt

3/ B4 the session, Ramzy’s bro asked an officer: “do u have informers (mokhbereen) with u.” “No, ya Basha, we entered without mokhbereen.”

#MubarakTrial ‪#Egypt A bench in the police academy hall - turned to court room - had “I am proud to be from Port Said” written on it.

Amir Salem, one of z plaintiff lawyers, was shouting as he entered z court room. Police were angry but kept laughing at him. #MubarakTrial


Lawyers, police officers and journalists were all smoking inside the court room before the session began

Screens inside the court room did not work, though they used to work in the first sessions when the trial was broadcast live

One of the benches inside the police academy hall had “I am proud to be from Port Said” written on it.

A Kuwaiti lawyer was sitting in front of me wearing a black robe with “The Arab country of Kuwait” written on its back with struss

The Kuwaiti lawyer was holding hands with one of the “Mubarak sons” when the judge entered and until he said the Mubarak and Adli verdict

The Kuwaiti lawyer was insulting/bad mouthing the #Ikhwan and presidential candidate Mohamed Morsi, he said “Morsi’s mother is infertile” out loud, until senior officer asked him to keep it down

Plaintiff’s lawyers were very angry, in the bus from the court hall to the outside door of the Academy, they were shouting, saying that Mubarak and Adli will get acquitted in the appeal.

“Shafiq is coming, this verdict says it all,” one of the lawyers was shouting and calling on her colleagues to stage a sit-in in Tahrir

Lawyers were frustrated, several of them refused to talk to the media. Two of them told me “What can I say now, there is nothing to be said now.”

I think I finished my short story now. I know i will edit it extensively, but I am just glad I found my way to the end. Writing it has been exhausting, because I would - for some hours a day - turn into Salma, and she is facing such a weird dilemma. Salma, you have made me tired, and I already have my own schizo moments!

Still, I am not sure if I am relieved or I will miss Salma.

” — Sleep tight ya Salma.

“Death always makes me want to know the story behind each person, from the day they were born till they died. I’m never bored of hearing these stories and I always regret not knowing this person. I just knew someone I met only once died many months ago, and now I want to hear the stories, the long stories that will make me regret not knowing the seven billion people on earth.” — We all have stories, and we all should listen to them.

علي رجلي دم .. نظرت له ما احتملت

علي إيدي دم.. سألت ليه ؟ لم وصلت

علي كتفي دم.. و حتي علي رأسي دم

أنا كلي دم .. قتلت ؟ ….. والا اتقتلت

عجبي !!
