The answer is simple; it’s because devoted Jordan Planet commentator Kinzi Jones has written a feature on six female Jordanian bloggers in April’s issue: Khalidah, Lina, Natasha, Roba, Salam, and yours truly.

I got my copy just today through my sister, whose office is not located in the desert, unlike mine. The ladies look marvelous, and the written text is a joy to read.

It’s lovely to see the feminine side of the blogosphere covered in such a way, I say keep the coverage alive. It was particularly interesting to see the unique traits that distinguish each lady-blogger from the other, and to explore some new information about each. On top of all that, meeting Kinzi was a true privilege that I personally am honored to have obtained.

On to my personal reflections on the whole affair, I decided to design a FAQ section to be posted in this entry exclusively treating my appearance in the magazine, and answering the many questions I had to take in today.

Q. Why does the position of your hand on the laptop look so awkward?
A. That’s the “disgusted” way I type. I get slandered for it all the time.

Q. When did you get a laptop?
A. I didn’t. This laptop was brought in for photo shoot purposes only.

Q. What book is that on the table?
A. “The Three Theban Plays” by Sophocles.

Q. Why aren’t you looking at the camera, while all the other ladies are?
A. I wasn’t asked to, and I would like to stress that the pose was not fabricated by me to look any of the following: serious, mean, angelic, or asleep. The photographer took only three shots of me, and was interrupted by the guard at the location prohibiting him from further completing his job because he had not acquired permission to shoot in that location. A terrible surprise for me, naturally, to put things diplomatically. There was supposed to be another appointment set for a proper, look-me-in-the-eye picture, but the proposal was never brought to consummation, hence the I’m-typing-go-away picture we can all enjoy.

Q. Do you like it?
A. Yes. After all, when I type things I generally look at what I am typing and reflect on it, much like in the shot. Come what may, my parents love the poise, and so does my lady-boss. I have to hand it in to the photographer, he really did a good job.

I should bring this entry to an end before my twisted sense of humor gets too exposed, then there’s no concealing it. A note on the side, I do not own a scanner so I had to take a picture of this page,kindly forgive any imperfections you may find.
