Episode 0: Pilot

Ok.

So I think maybe a little introduction is in order.
First and foremost, I think (and I don't know why) but I think it's pretty important that I just let this first thing out:
I'm an Asian. And I'm a Muslim.
And while that isn't really all that surprising; considering the fact that my home country just happens to be the most Catholic Asian country there is, I'm thinking it's important to just say it out there.
But I don't really like talking about religion. Not unless it's face to face.
So that's out there out in the open.

I'm not exactly the best Muslim out there (or worst, if you like to watch the news)...so you can think about your "typical" Muslim girl, yeah, and then forget about her.

Even my name isn't "Muslim" as they like to say.
Yeah, I like to wear black. But only because it's slimming.
And you can see my hair. Yeah. All of it. I wear jeans. And shirts. Although right now I'm going through a dress-phase. Must have something to do with my new hair-cut. And OMG I kinda dress slutty.

...

Although that's not really something to be proud of. I'm not, really. And neither should you. *glares*

I do, however, have values your grandma would probably be proud of (unless it's your crazy grandma. Come on, admit it, we've ALL got at least one).

I don't drink, do drugs, smoke, stay out late, disrespect my elders or abuse my sibling(s). I even call people sir and ma'am. Yeah. And not even cause people told me I had to. No. I actually am just predisposed to be naturally boring.

So anyhoo, I am actually a convert, encouraged by my dad (step-dad actually, but that's for another time. Let's not throw the Parent-Bomb just yet). But he never really forced me to do anything. Anyway he wasn't around much to do any forcing...

Ok ok, too much on parents and religion!

I'm an optimistic pessimist. Does that make sense?
I'm pretttyyyy negative, and if anything goes wrong I practically hyperventilate. But deep down inside, deeep deeeeep down: I know it'll all be ok.

Like when it comes to my boyfriend for example. I know that we're going to settle down some day and that we're going to make it through and be the coolest people on Earth for just staying together despite the long distance relationship and my bouts of Crazy. However, I still freak out every time something bad happens.

So yes. I'm an optimistic pessimist Muslim Asian who's here to entertain and inform.

Pull up some chairs, people. This is going to take a while.
