Back by high demand! BIOGRAPHY TIME!

Hi there,

Well I do! Do you know what it is? It is a ringing of the ears that is most annoying! I have endured this horrible symptom my whole life! I'm pretty sure I was born with it. I can remember as a very young child, maybe 3 or 4 and running into the closet and shutting the door in the dark and sitting and waiting for the aliens to contact me! I truly thought they were contacting me to take me back to my planet! This is an absolute true story all of my minds blog readers!

Here's another funny true story. So we all know by now that I am Persian, born in Iran. Now, I am not as dark as most of my family so I thought as a young girl that I may not actually be my mother and father's daughter! Can you believe it? Well you have to! I asked my mother where my birth certificate was and she said somewhere in Iran. Well, hello! We are not in Iran.... so that led me to believe that maybe, just maybe, I may not have any blood relation to this family that is raising me! Then when I was 12..... my mother got pregnant with my little sister.

I waited 9 long months and told myself if that little girl comes out looking just like the rest of my family, then that was it! I am not related to these people! It was on June 4, 1985 that the answer came. We were at the hospital and at 11:44pm there came this baby. My father ran out and said she was born and ran back in! I then went to the nursery and waited. Then the nurse rolled in this incubator with a little dark bushy black haired baby into the room! Oh MY GOODNESS!!!! Who are these people that are raising me? Who is this family and where is my real family! I was torn! And just when I got back to earth (because for a moment I swear I had an out-of-body experience) there came a commotion behind me and they wheeled my mother and then an incubator with this tiny pink, almost bald baby girl out behind her! I AM OF THIS FAMILY! Then, everyone, reality really set in, I was my mother and fathers daughter! But now, I began to question my older sister and whether or not she was..... You know, my real sister!

ARGH!!!!!!! Save me!

Ciao for now!
