The Gospel According to Hazira, The 'Fugee (Special Birthday Edition)

Do not become friends with a refugee if you know what's good for you. Besides the fact that they will make Borat-like pronouncements, the wants and needs of a 'fugee are endless. Despite my admonishment, Hazira is my friend and what follows below is her gospel:



  • You were so furious then you got in touch with your better self...



  • None of my relationships are so easily destroyed.



  • I think when we are spontaneous, we are at our most human.



  • Obama is such an example of positive psychology.



  • I felt safe the moment that I met you but I also sensed that you could be a tough character.



  • You know what energizes me? Nice people energize me...



  • Keepittogetherkeepittogetherkeepittogether.



  • In my country, we don't have to call before stopping over at someone's house.



  • Me: I just have one more thing to do -- get my battery checked out.

    Hazira: If you go and get it checked out then you're going to need a new battery.



  • After demonstrating my new self-massage skills...

    Hazira: Tapping. Okay, drumming...



  • I feel so relaxed just watching this show (In Treatment).



  • Nobody gives me credit...



  • Do I get recognition for that?



  • I'm going to reflect on that later.



  • Once you are a refugee, you're always a refugee.




  • Happy Birthday Bosanski Scalawag!

    2. Heather,

      Thanks for the b-day wishes for Hazira.

      Re: the lifelong thing, you mean that we're stuck with each other? ;)

      Also, that's cool that you have the same philosophy about meaningful relationships.
