  • I finally have a free moment. Moving in the USA is more of a pain than moving to Africa..twice.when I went to Africa I just packed my clothes, hopped on a plane and that was it. I really was not picky about where I stayed and in Africa there is no one there but Hillary, you must have a car, blackberry furniture etc. My mom just had to go and make sure I picked out a "suitable place". I now have a car, blackberry and everything else that the modern middle class deems necessary. Getting all that crap is such a hassle it seems to me it would be easier to stay in a place where life is simpler but alas...

About Me

  • At the age of 27, I am still figuring out what, exactly, I want to do with my life. If the old adage of life is about the journey and not a destination, then I am taking the scenic route. I love to read, write, scrapbook and calling up friends with "real jobs" at 3 am just because.
