What amych said!
And yes, I know what you mean about the enormity of the Very Bad. I think the simplicity of the story he told was what made it so powerful for me. That and the way he implored the room full of LA girls, many very privileged, to make a difference in their world through love. It was no longer a cliche when he said it.
HOLY CRAP Raq!!! That cut is divine and you look spectacular!
I met Mark Mathabane in '87 or '88 when he came to speak at the University of Iowa. I don't recall how I got to be part of the small reception committee. I thought he was strong and gentle and amazing. Years later I heard that a lot of the stories in his books had been fabricated but I can't find anything about that on the internet today. I hope it turned out not to be true.
Yeah that hair is teh yum
We know we want to spend several days in Paris and several days in Rome. Then we're thinking of a 1-2 day trip to another part of France and then one to another part of Italy. I'm getting so excited and it's over a year away.
That sounds like a good plan, GC, especially if this is your first time to either country. Both cities are phenomenal, but Rome has my heart. I'm excited for the both you! If you have any questions, feel free to ping me at my profile addy. I will put my vast network of friends and family in both places to work for you.
SON OF A BITCH!!! I just realized that the dates of my summer program on the website are wrong. Off by an entire MONTH. FUCK.
You want to go a'smiting? I'm in the mood to terrify some idiots.
So much ~ma for Daniel's sister, Fay's Kenyan friends, and Nora's dad (and anyone else who needs some).
What she said. February's not being nice to the Bitches.
Thanks for the reality check, sorella. I needed that.
My boss's grandfather passed away. Is it appropriate for me to go to the viewing tonight?
Absolutely. It's more for the living anyway. (Or exactly what amych said.)
I have new hair! It's very different.
It is! I love it! You are absolutely smokin' hot. Damn. Really. Guh.
Damn, Raq, that's one HAWT hair cut! Makes you look like a femme fatale, something in the way of Sydney in Alias.
I don't want to write out this take home exam.
