I watched it flip in the air a couple of times. I reached out, only my thumb hit the edge making it reverse and wobble towards my fingers. I missed and was only able to flick it. It swirled in the air, further until I finally lunged at it and thrust my hand grabbing it firmly. I saved my mom's china.
I was never too good with mingling at family gatherings. The main problem was socialising in Arabic rather than English. I always get stuck with the "big" words, and the annoying thing is, I know for a fact they would not understand the English word, let alone me being able to translate it.
After dinner, I did manage to get to talk to my fiance next to the chocolate fountain. We talked, quite a bit, while dipping fruits in yummy melted chocolate - Heavenly I tell ya. I think I might have OD'd on the chocolate because later that night, I was head bangin in my room to Metallica's King Nothing. If you'd like to listen to the song, click below. If not, move along.. no chocolate for you.

cixousianpanic,
lol, you're not even in Kuwait are you? :p
:D no i'm not lol
heh now you got me craving chocolate fondue, I haven't had some since I was back home in Kuwait. As for what you said about the arabic if it's any consolation my arabic isn't that good either I guess it's mainly because we hardly speak arabic at home n usually end of speaking farsi or english instead
cixousianpanic,
