Farigh!

Posted by anas on Sep 29, 2009 in Uncategorized | 20 comments It is weird but I have to admit I don't like being farigh (free)! I do long for it when I am busy, but deep in my heart, I know that's just not true. But this is the punishment I have been sentenced by fate for the next 2 months (maybe a bit more).
