About Me

(according to my friends...) eric: Recipe for making a Najwa Ingredients:Mix together: 3 parts Edward Said 3 parts Imelda Marcos 1 part Tanqueray 1 part Fillet Mignon Optional: Chocolate covered cherries to taste (any brand will do)Leave out in sun for apx. 2 hrs (Preferably on a Mediterranean beach) Baste regularlyFeeds 5-10 michelle: he forgot the bacon...spencer: Najwa is a deliciously astonishing woman. You would be lucky to live in the same state as she, let alone have her grace you with her presents (I mean presence). Few are worthy. (Obviously beautiful, too)michelle (again): It's ironic: Najwa's stunning good looks conceal the fact that she is - under her fabulous fashion sense and grace - the biggest dork you'll ever meet. I mean the kind who makes silly word puns, likes watching documentaries on economics for fun, and has a quasi-unhealthy fondness for bacon. Maybe it's the Nebraskan in her, those people are devious. But one thing that is VERY obvious about Naj to anyone with half a brain, is that she is one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet. She has a huge heart, and I am lucky to have her as a friend. She's my little sister, so mess with her and I'll have to kick your ass.uri:what can i say about najwa, queen of palestine, that's not already been said? she swoops into town, unannounced, then calls and makes me drop everything to spend time with her. then she spends all evening making fun of me, and yet, i have a good time. come back soon!
