I'm an outcast....to an extent, definately, Well....maybe not OUTCAST, per se, but more of just a weird dude.

And as far as arabs/lebanese guys bieng stupid or not liking books, im not so sure about that....maybe its just the ones YOU hang out with? All the arabs I know are really smart and are very well educated/on their way to become very well educated.

For example, my freind Ibrahim (Palestinian) goes to George Washington University in Washington, DC, which is a very prestigious school.

Another freind of mine, Gada (her dad's Jordanian) goes to Loyola, another very prestigious private school

My freind Shireen goes to Benedictine, also a very prestigious University

and my freind Adil (Shireen's sister) is still in HS, but is the co-captain of the debate team and taking all Advanced Placement courses, and plans to go to (I think) Cornell. Of course I've never met any Lebanese, so it could be something having to do with Lebanese arabs only, but I doubt it.

I'm definitely an outcast. Or a cast-off, really. I have very little contact with the outside world and, to be completely frank, no friends except those on here and those from my younger (more outgoing) years who still drop me an email now and again.

Wow. I didnt realize how isolated I was until I wrote that.
Got a poem or short story you want me to critique?
