The obligatory "I'm still alive!" post (Now with 52% more gay arabic sex)

Oh el-jay. How I miss you when I drift away from you.

Anyway, it's around 3 am and I came across something that I think will amuse you, my beloved flist.

So I found this site- Gay Egypt which also contains what they call "Arabic for perverts". It's a guide to various phrases and verbs that they assume will be useful to any body trying to find

Hey! I've seen that site before! You posted it a long time ago, with an excerpt from a gay sex story about Osama bin Laden! I think I reposted it back then.

I'm sending this to homais who is both gay and endeavoring to learn Arabic.

Omg. Wow, I have no recollection of that particular gay Osama bin Laden story (of course, that's mostly b/c I've posted quite a few).

Also, I'm genuinely thrilled that I actually might have helped someone. :D

Hi,

Robert did indeed point me to this.

And, umm, wow. They definitely didn't teach us some of those words in class. The famous al-Kitaab is so squeaky clean they don't even teach you the word for 'bad'.

Anyway, I've added you to my friendslist if you don't mind. By some bizarre set of cyber-coincidences, you know both Robert and Morag, so clearly you're good people. Or really bad people. Either way. Feel free to add back.

Yay for new lj friends

Hi *waves*

Glad I could be of some assistance. Most of those words I learned earlier from a guy at work who is half-american/half-palestinian. He doesn't speak any arabic save for some particularly juicy curses that his father taught him. In turn, I've taught him the words for "lazy", "annoying", and "mildly retarded"- all of which could be applied to him at times.

Ah yes, Al-Kitaab. I took two semesters of arabic with it and I've never been so happy to let go of a book before. My arabic class was mostly men so there were many conversations about the hotness of the old Maha vs. the new Maha.

I poked around on your lj for a bit and found out you liked Buffy, and middle eastern blogs, and meta-self-analysis about the art of blogging- all of which I'm into. Plus, since you know two of my friends, you obviously have some great references. ;)
