Happy Birthday Saudi and The City

I can’t believe it has already been a year since my first post “Is Tivo the new Stevo" !!!


When I moved back to Saudi after I graduated from University, I felt useless, empty and trapped. I was always very active in school and I needed something to channel my wasted energy on.

I needed to vent, and I figured that the blogsphere was the perfect place to do it. For some reason, I found the idea of sharing my deepest inner thoughts and insecurities with a bunch of strangers very liberating!

I Started my blog not knowing if anyone would actually give it the time of the day but I was overwhelmed with the positive response I got from my readers.

I feel the love, now only if it wasn’t virtual (ok that didn’t sound perverted in my head , I swear....by the moon and the starts and the sky, FOCUS DAMMIT FOCUS)

Honestly, I feel a connection with u guys, to the extent that I can anticipate the reactions of some of u while I’m writing!!

I know that Agnon, is gonna fire back with a witty scientific cynical answer and that eshda3wa and arabiannight are gonna relate in some way. I know that Dotsson is gonna manage to turn it into something dirty and that Ahmad is gonna give me advice on what I should and shouldn’t to :)

I figured it would be nice to do a little recap of last year, so here it goes.

1- Most Loyal Reader with the most comments: Mr. Agnon, Shale of Agnon, the Academic Flop… DUDE I LOST TRACK
2- Most Perverted Commenter: Mr. Dotsson
3- Most Controversial & most commented on post: Is Having A Penis A Prerequisite To Living In Saudi Arabia
4- Most Perverted Post: Curiosity Killed the Cat
5- Most Evil Post: For Better Or For Worse Until…
6- Cheesiest Post/s: a tie between C Ya Later & A Few Good Men
7- Most Referred to post: 101 Thing To Do Before I Die
8- My Favorite Theory: The One theory from The Perfect Pair

Feel free to add to the list and boost my over inflated ready to pop ego :)
