uh, so i guess people still read this xanga thing? it's been about a million years, so lemme shoot you with some bullets:
@ moved back home from Africa a few weeks ago. it pretty much ruined my life, in an oh-so-good way
@ got to visit my dear Morocco, trek through the desert to Timbuktu (my new fav place), and take a 3-day boat trip down the Niger river with one of my bestests
@ got to wear hijab (headscarf), and was invited by the Imam to do photography in & around the mosque during Islam's holiest night
@ i'm even more determined than ever to learn arabic
@ still very much jobless, and i'm getting depressed after sending out dozens and dozens of resumes, and applying for every single job post i see. thinking the good 'ol Bucks might be in the stars for me
@ i really want to jump on this relationship train that everyone seems to be getting tickets for lately, get a man, get hitched, and make me some babies!
@ coaching some fill-in hours at the gym, which is good, partly cause i love it, and partly cause it gets me out of the house, and into [some] money
@ reading a ton of books, listening to university lectures, and watching a billion movies about the following [in hopes of eventually making sense of it all, and some day impacting the masses]:
-american foreign policy
-iran
-the impact of the media on international relations
-war journalism
-the effect of economic sanctions on Iraq, and elsewhere
-foreign aid/humanitarian work in Africa
-oil
-middle eastern/african history
@ got an ipod nano from a dear friend of mine, through such a strange situation
@ hoping to be back overseas again by summer [fall at the latest], to a country which for now shall remain nameless, though I'm hoping my french & arabic will be sufficient to make up for the other language which i'm not even going to think about trying to learn at the moment...
That's all for now. There will be many obscure, random posts in the near future with some of my most recent thoughts and obsessions, you can guarantee it.
So, leave this girl some love if you still read this silly 'ol thang...

glad to see you're back on here!
I am glad you are back I was thinking about you the other day.
"thinking the good 'ol Bucks might be in the stars for me"
ha! i love that!
Glad to hear you are alive. Wow Africa sounds amazing...I'm glad it ruined you.
Well, I'm sure the Lord has an amazing job for you...I wouldn't just settle for all the Bucks the Stars could throw at you...if you catch my drift...He's got a perfect place for you. And in the mean time He'll take care of you.
like I said, "Glad to hear you are alive."
Later...
