The Marriage Lottery….dare you fall into it face first? I wonder, have any of you ladies or gentlemen ever considered the notion of marrying someone on the spare of the moment? Ie a rash decision in which you decide to allow the winds of fate to take its course and propel you into an adventure of a life time without any familial dirty tracing- sorry “investigative forewarning” what so ever? By that I mean Imagine a lottery of love where you haven’t the slightest of clues as to whom your going to be married and never in fact are you allowed to lay eyes upon your partner till the fateful day of your wedding. Its sort of like a blind date only that this time it’s a deaf, dumb and deliciously blind marriage you’ll be stepping into. The scenario is as follows; you along with thousands of other willing dare-devils will be assigned a number and thus a ball which will be placed in a large tumbling lottery machine (Curtsey of Camelot) and then completely out of chance a husband or wife will be chosen for you at random. Just to make matters a little more digestible however the organisers of this event will couple people in such a way that you will at the very least have a high probability of marrying someone who is relatively compatible with you. This will have been decided during the initial registering stage whereby prospects husbands and wives would have underwent a somewhat extensive psychological and personality profile. Further to this you’ll each also receive half a million pounds under the conditions of which you are to stay married and together as a couple for at least 10 years. The money must however be distributed fairly as a normally married couple would I.e you must share and invest in each others dreams equally and decide amongst yourselves how best to carry this all out. And just to sweeten the whole surreal deal everything from dresses to flowers to wedding invitations and food would have all been be prepared for you. All any of you need do is turn up to the event and say those binding words “I do”. Thus I ask you this….would you have the guts to jump in heads first, eyes closed, heart hoping for the best? Or would you high tail it out of there clutching your maidenly soul to your chest spiting in disgust at the how the very idea of such a frivolous notion is a direct insult to the solemn institution of marriage! Well, I was given this senario yesterday by my funny and very amusing neighbour and it got me thinking? Would I risk the chance to choose who to wed or would I have the balls to dash all reason and logic to the wind and seek my fate via a statistically unfavourable fate? Well seen as I though I’ve always left things of a tender nature to fate as I barely have enough human emotions to light a flint I didn’t hesitate in saying….Hell yes I‘d do it! What have I to lose? I’m rarely moved by the idea of marrying for “love” as I am incapable of such a thing so why not marry via proxy-to said-unnamed man? It would be interesting if nothing else. So what if it gets awkward on our wedding night and I have this sweating stranger undressing me with eyes thinking he’s hit the jackpot(cause he has) and is wordlessly stealing towards our marriage bed silently begging me to participate in a night of how do I put this? *Starts singing* “ Strangers in the night” passion? Who am I but to deny him such a treat? Is it not after all my duty as a wife to lay down as though I were a dead fish? In any case I’m sure my most basest of human urges would kick in and thus shut off all good sense anyway. I mean thinking about it and forgetting all the embarrassing blushes and hand flapping that is to ensue its a rather convenient and easy way to marry, plus its rather exciting in a crazed-self-harming way and most of all its rather dashing. It’s a challenge can I accept someone I hardly know as a husband? But most of all can I make it work? it’s the ultimate challenge. Sure its easier to marry someone you “love” but someone you might detest or be indifferent to?-now that’s rather arousing. In any case I see no reason to scoff at what fate decides. Besides how well can you ever know the person whom you are to marry when both parties and their respective families are almost always going to be their best behaviour? Further to this one can only ever surmise the true nature of a character via the means of living together and seen as though culturally and Islamic ally this is seen as to be unacceptable (out of wedlock) I hardly think we’re missing out on anything but just skipping the preliminaries and just getting down to business as it were, forthwith Some would call me a crazy and impetuous woman for even entertaining such an ludicrous idea as this but I’d prefer the term pseudo functioning eccentric. So lead on invisible husband of mine, I shall seek thee out-till the night bleeds all its secrets (or you bleed yours) and the stars melt from their very perches high above the cloudless heavens. Come hither I shall say to this faceless stranger and await garbed in exquisite silk, jewels and a radiant smile perfumed with a restless ease mirroring his own. *Humbly bows at the waist* There but for the grace of god go I….and thus I shall allow destiny to carry me on wings of hope. Come, come what says you? Who is with me? *Flashes a rakish grin* Ps The half million is incentive enough and any teething problems shall be dealt with along the way like most things in life and thus marriages.

*Smiles and then lifts a curious brow* Do you really think its such a good idea to step into a life altering decision based on a mans "hotness" levels? Then again I suppose marriages have been built on less in which case I'd say go forth if you dare and tell us of the results of such a venture later on down the line. Far be it from me to stifle ones longing for matrimony. Would be interesting to see how it pans out of course.

*Smiles* Indeed a favourite clip of mine also, anyone know where I can find him? A wedding is required posthaste.

Obviously this lady is looking for a real man so stand aside boys *pushes Marx and Fufu out of the way only to step forward her-erhem..I mean him self* So...*Jerks a 1000 dollar bill from between his tight thobe covered (gotta ramadanatize it musten we?) butt cheeks* Wheres the lady in quesion? *Secretly giggles at Adams picture*

Originally posted by -MARX-: ^^You would make the perfect housemate. Your strange, hippy, Laissez-faire and like a Bohemian vagabond. It will do you justice and the perfect civilising mission. Well when you put so complimentary as that how can I refuse? still the idea of not being able to perform one's daily toilette in the privacy of their own company is a rather gauche notion as is the custom of being locked in a house for weeks on end. I can barely stay at home for more than 2 days as it is without going a little insane so I doubt I'd enjoy the experience much. But thanks all the same for the encouragement.

Mmmm, sounds delicious- but are you sure that chicken and lentils thing is a salad and not a full-gut busting qado? *Starts chanting* Food, food, lord I need food. At least I have 5 minutes left *Starts watching the time*

Good, it was crap any way.

NGONE and Jhonny- you both may or may not have a point as to the legitimacy of the girls true identity but I don't see how that's of any significance. Be she girl or boy-she has a topic now either indulge in it or leave it. Why take it that low dee?...ceeb, shame on you. Tis Ramadan, stop the witch hunt and take people at face value. I know and this coming from me right? LOL Still... Oz- I still haven't conjured enough energy to properly reply to your other topic and I doubt I have much for this one. But I will say this, so you’re a little awkward, annoying and inept when it comes to speaking to the opposite sex (or those you like)...big deal. So you leave men confused and in tears with your rudeness? (I at least hope you do)...abuse of men is usually well deserved so feel no guilt on that account. Also we all have our issues and unless yours becomes a major problemo I say you learn to embrace it or take some female fatale etiquette classes or something. *Shrugs* How the hell would I know anyway when I live in a cave and rarely venture out of my habitat. To conclude- Ehh “Shrugs” men rarely refuse anything so you have nothing to worry about- even if you are difficult you’ll find some imbecile to trick into marriage so I really wouldn’t sweat it. You give the dears far too much thought. Love yourself and embrace the tears you make men shed. It'll make you stronger.

Such interesting questions asked with such open honestly and sincerity, I hope you find comfort in the fact that every-single muslim (those who aren't intellectually lazy-the kind that hate to question because they fear the answer) has gone through more or less the same feelings and questions in which you have raised at or more times in their life. Its entirely normal and natural for the human spirit to question and thus rebel against things which are beyond their comprehension. Such is the uniqueness and pecularity of our very creations. You don't see the Angels rebeling do you? I shall return later on this evening for a more detailed responce, for now I must to work. But before I leave I'd like to say. Rudy-DIiriye- Such arrogance and hostility towards a sister who clearly requires the help of her fellow brothers and sister is absolutely unacceptable. You shame only yourself when you speak in such callously dismissive terms. Islam teaches you to love for others what you indeed love for yourself and if your are so fortunate as to be utterly secure in your own faith then should you not wish that for your sister? And thus help those who are struggling a little with it? If not? Then may I respectfully ask that you keep quiet in such matters because its people like you who can truly tip a person off their axis.

Often the best of deeds are those which need not be uttered out aloud. Despite your good intentions perhaps you’d like others to share the good deeds they’ve witnessed in others? Those who have changed us in some manner for the better.

Kat- you tell them sister! Little do they know how holy I can be In any case I thank you for the vote of confidence it means the world to me! I'm retiring early in any case. So its all good. Peace-baris iyo Ramadan Kareem to all.

^-Jealousy doesn't become you.

I have no need to fantasize about being poured with admiration. Its truth enough already. *Smiles and lightly picks off a tiny filament of string from her more than perfect shoulder pad* -Emphasis on one.. As for this liking this attention..*shrugs*. ..not especially in truth, but if your jealous. You need only kiss my hand and I shall paw you in public. For thats what you really want isn't it?

Forget about Ibti its obvious that the job description is refering to me. I'd be perfect for the role. Hadaba yaa calimada ee saara?

Indeed he has....and now I shall leave. *Bows and steps away*

LOL-Oh how you poor boys are being mislead... Me giggle and wink at a man in the real world? HAHAHAHAHA. Oh my now that really made me laugh. In any case Mostapha I believe your a little confused- I get the feeling that you don't know whether to hump my leg in reverance or to smack me away in replusion.... Your private persona is so much more different I see? Still I shall allow you to spread your fantasies far and wide. It does my ego good if nothing else. As for the topic? *Shrugs* I really didn't want to comment on it because well...such things rarely interest me. If I find a husband? I do, no use in worrying about and searching for it- I would never have come in had I not seen your last reply and read your latest love letter to me. Very mixed signals indeed. Tisk tisk, your really not as clever as you think my sweet.

GG- Hold up theres a difference between a tranny and a transexual? I thought Tranny was short for transexual and that a transvestite would be the proper term for a man dressed like a lady? Anyway that man? LOL afraid I don't recall that particular eurovision- must have been the year I missed it-I wonder did they win? About GAGA?LOL WOOW there- she thinks she's art itself? Hehehe a tad desperate isn't it? Truly now I have no idea what she's like on TV and the kinds of things she's been seeing as I've never seen her out of one of 2 music videos I've watched-but I shall take your word for it. Lord such passionate hate I will say one thing however- I liked the fact that you think Grace Jones is in a league of her own -when it comes to her eccentricity, I couldn't agree more she's rather unique. I once remember this interview she was doing with some french dude who started ignoring her and she started slapping the mans face off because of it. Utterly hilarious. Classic grace jones

GG- The only tranny I liked or remember from the Eurovision song contest was that Isreal one which sang DIVA MARIA!-VIVA VICTORIA! In anycase Lady GaGa is probably just as commercial as Akon and I wouldn't be surprised to find out that her songs are re-hashes of some other 80's classic techno tune still I like the song, one cannot help jiggling about to mainstream music now and then.

Well I personally live witout a mobile any way and my laptop broke a year-ago and I still haven't got round to fixing it, I use others in the mean time. But to answer your question yes you can live without the essential 21st century goods but my life find as a result is highly disorganised, random and very unpredictable. I think its because on some unconscious (conscious) level I don't like being accessible all the time and these products make you more reachable. Whatever happened to a good old fashioned mystery search/visit?

Che ^- lol Waar adiguna ha nagu bilaabin. Macasala waa Sheikiinta qooq-daafay.

LOL Jaanjunow- Casharkaa hadaba waan joojin-Halkaa ha nagu ba dhamaato, haye dhee? LOOOL-Qaxaryahow waa habeen waanagsan- waad igga badisay. Af-duub maantabaa iggu horeeysa Macasalam Askariyahow soo taaganii. LOL

Fufu- intaan seexan walaalo Xinnaha miyaad ee marin? Ileen Carosad danka ilaahay ka socoto baan ahee.

Jaanjumow- ^LOOOOOOOOL-Walee imtixaan socda baad tahay- haye baal tuush kana noo hagaaji inaa deer- hadi aad ba ee caroos gelisay.

LOL-Good night *Waves fufu goodbye* Ps The next time you speak out of turn...be warned you shall receive a prompt dacas to the face your just lucky I'm such a tolerant and generous woman.
