Technical difficulties

Erin, have you given up on me and found some other guy?  That's what it looks like to me.  It also explains why you haven't updated your Instagram in over 8 months.  I can't really blame you if you did, because it's coming up to 6 years since I proposed to you and I still don't have money to marry.  But I can't be dishonorable.  Please confirm you want to marry me with your next post.  Please don't take another 8 months to update, and please don't be vague because vague means no.  I'm not reading anymore of the tagged posts.  Once I stop looking at your Instagram, the only way for you to contact me is Second Life.  If you are being manipulated, and I have reason to believe that you are, now is the time to be brave and do the right thing.  Courage when it matters.  What do I want?  I want to marry you, because I love you.  Please confirm you want to marry me with your next post.  And quit flirting with guys.

Hi Natty.  That is a very pensive snapshot you took.  Oh and by the way, congratulations on your success with the cancer charity.  I wanted to mention it a couple of days already, but I kept on forgetting.  Please forgive me.  I want you not to worry, because I love you and I will marry you and take care of you inshaAllah.  Please have faith, and be patient.  Yeah, it's bad luck I suppose that I have no money.  But I believe in God over luck, so there are reasons why God hasn't given me wealth enough to marry yet.  I sure could use some new musical equipment as well.  I had hooked up my microphone to broadcast my singing over Second Life, and also to the amp inside my bedroom so the local crowd (which is very large right now) can hear as well.  I thought I was getting adequate signal to my amp because I could hear the noise coming out of the speaker, but it turns out it was just noise.  I had some bad cords and bad connections in my mixer.  It's hard for me to detect the error, because I can't be at the microphone and outside at the same time.  The feed to Second Life is digital, and all I need to look at with that are levels.  So for the past few weeks, my singing was 10 times louder in America than here, even though people there were listening through headphones!  Meanwhile fans outside were getting pissed off!

On the 11th day of Zulhijjah, Muslims slaughter livestock to distribute to the needy.  I received some meat from the event, alhamdulillah.  Looks like I'll be having BBQ on Saturday lunch!  Not tomorrow, because tomorrow is Friday and I have to go to the mosque.  Here's a snapshot of the guys at the mosque portioning out the meat.
The dress I wore for voice training didn't quite fit.  But we all wear dresses that don't quite fit sometimes, right?
