This one should be legit, since its from a well-known organization.

You Know You're An Arab When...
Haha this is hilarious and SO true. I should know, I am Arabic and my family does all of these things :)
Your father is a doctor or engineer.
You have a Persian rug in every room.
You have an endless supply of pistachios, dates, and pumpkin seeds.
You actually like yogurt drinks.
You either tip 2% or 50% but never 15%.
Your parents say you're becoming Americanized anytime you get into trouble.
You hug and kiss relatives you have never seen before in your life.
You curse at your teachers or strangers in Arabic.
You wonder whether a cute girl is Arabic and go up to ask her just to start a conversation
You have to constantly remind your American friends to take off their shoes when they enter your house
You flip out when someone mistakes you for a Mexican or Indian.
You can spot an Arab a mile away and they have spotted at you because they keep staring.
You have Thanksgiving dinner with rice and "bamiyah" (STEW)
After a family meal, the women fight to the death over who should wash the dishes while the men sit on their behinds and discuss politics, waiting for their tea.
You walk down a street with Arab stores and you are trying to eavesdrop on others' Arabic conversations.
Your parents want you to become a doctor or engineer.
You use your forehead and eyebrows to point something out.
Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you to dinner even if you're in the next room.
You have at least thirty cousins.
You have a 4 cousins, an uncle, a brother-in-law and 7 friends named Mohammed.
You have told your kid not to walk the floor barefoot or they'll catch a cold.
You arrive one or two hours late to a party and think it's normal. ...all arbs are late- all the time!
You are standing next to the largest suitcases at the Airport.
You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house.
You say bye 17 times on the phone.
When your parents meet strangers and talk for a few minutes, you discover they know one of your uncles back home.
Your parents don't realize phone connections to foreign countries have improved in the last two decades, and still scream at the top of their lungs when making long distance calls.
Your friends tell you to be quiet when you are on the phone with your family because now you are screaming at the top of your lungs.
Your mother has a minor disagreement with her (or your dad's) sister and doesn't talk to her for ten years.
You hide everything from your parents.
Your mother does everything for you if you are male.
You do all the housework and cooking if you are female.
Your relatives alone could populate a small city.
Everyone is a family friend
If you are male, you only date Westerners and even secretly get engaged to one to scare your family, until you finally end up marrying an Arabic girl.
If you are female, every guy you know dates Western girls who walk all over him, then when he's finally ready to get married, he comes to ask for you.
You avoid public places when with a member of the opposite sex, especially if there is an acquaintance within a 250 miles radius
You went to a university as far away from home as possible.
You still came back home to live with your parents after you graduate.
You teach Westerners swearwords in your Arabic.
You always say "open the light" instead of "turn the light on"
You're walking out of customs with your trolley at the airport and you see at least twenty-five members of your family who have come to pick you up.
You go back to your parents' country and people treat you like a member of...the royal family.
Your parents drink 6 cups of tea a day
You've had a shoe thrown at you by your mother

Freebies
I am an avid freebie hunter. Who doesn't love getting free stuff?! Finding legitimate freebies online takes a lot of time and searching, but there are a bunch out there. It is important to be careful since a lot of the sites promoting free things are scams. That is why I would recommend having a separate email account just for requesting freebies; you WILL be getting a lot of junk mail. One way to make sure freebies are legit is to search the sites of brand name products. There is usually a samples/promotions tab where you can find samples and/or coupons. You can also get many freebies by "Becoming a Fan" of products on facebook. Joining birthday clubs offered by some stores and restaurants is another great way to get free stuff. Other than that, the rest is just trial and error.
Some samples that I have received in the past are:
-full sized bottle of Suave Professionals Almond and Shea Butter Shampoo
-coupon for a free full sized bottle of Herbal Essences conditioner
-2 coupons for free package of golden oreos
-coupons for free chocolate bars
-Chanel mini-sized mascara
-Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets
-coupons for free bottles Dr. Pepper
-6 month trial Seventeen Magazine
-free issue Glamour Magazine
-1 year subscription to Seventeen Magazine
-free issue Nylon Magazine
-full sized bottle Sweet Daydream body lotion from Victoria's Secret
-coupons for free panties from VS
-free ice cream on my birthday from Baskin Robbins and Coldstone Creamery
-various shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothpaste, pad,deodorant, and perfume samples

Plumb- Cut
As you can probably tell, I love Plumb. I first heard this song on "The Vampire Diaries" during the Stefan/Elena sex scene, and fell in love with it.
I <3 TVD, Stefan is sooo sexy! Damon's hot too, but it's all about Stefan. lol
Plumb- In My Arms
I have been obsessing over this song lately! And the Twilight video makes it even better =)

Hi there,
So this is my first time ever doing a blog. I'm mostly just doing it because it seems fun and like a good way to share my interests with others.
Therefore, since I have no clue what I'm doing, please bear with me as I learn how to do this.
I hope that all my future followers enjoy my blog, and....yeah....
I don't know what else to say, haha
