Not Quite Dead Yet!
Speaking of near-death experiences, here's a creepy one.
Plugged my birth name into Blogger Search a short while ago and came up with the following note, dated Sept 12 from some Missouri lass' MySpace site:
I heard this morning that (my name) died last night in a car accident. I was so sad when I heard that. I was never great friends with him but i knew people who were and who it was going to affect greatly. Like my sophmore year prom date josh, and tasha atwell who's grandpa comes into where i work a lot. And Raji..his brother. I think i am more sad for them. I wish i could do something besides dedicate a blog to him.
Yikes! And here's me all tanned and healthy after a week's R&R out of Aceh, and freshly stuffed from our staff pre-Ramadan Megang feast in the parking lot of the shop earlier today.
On a more pleasant note, apparently I am also a guitar-packing member of the Humbolt Green Party on walk-about in Peru, a B-list Hollywood movie actor, an Aussie drug policy specialist, a celebrity chef with my own TV show, a 22-year-old Limerick resident up on weapons charges, a Denver fire department captain, a Californian jewelry-maker, a high school newspaper sex columnist, and an on-line auto auctioneer.
No wonder I'm so tired all the time.
