Horny and Home Alone

I giggled along to my favorite soap opera, munching on candy without a single care in the world, on this relaxed Friday evening.

I felt bold tonight. It was the Ramadan holiday, and coming from a family of pretty strict Muslims, I was supposed to be at worship with them right now. I had to put out some undiscovered acting talent that even surprised me, to get them to let me stay home. Actually believing I was sick, my family left me a big vat of soup and medicine that I'd now have to at least make a dent in.

I guess it was worth it. I am 18 and want to start being able to make my own decisions about my religion and level of involvement. I am happy and proud to be Muslim, but I don't want to be strictly adhering to it as my family is.
