oh i know these have been traumatic postings as of late, they just reflect my fear of this huge unknown, talk about a great leap. and it would help if i felt better but i'm still sick ( body BODY ). strange
dreams. trains. futuristic.
forgetting bags.
forgetting everything.
i did not have dreams like this before anything i've ever done before, marriage, leaving home at 11 didn't bother me one bit. this, on the other hand...well. i'm sure it'll be fine. i was looking at photo's i took last year while in the country. they are beautiful. the work will be hard. people say rewarding. actually i doubt that. frustrating and at times awful i would say. the work part i know. dealing with human suffering is the same the world over. it's the scale of it that terrifies me now. and the responsibility. i have lots of people with way more skills than me to rely on here. i can't deliver babies, do surgery, diagnose tropical disease, cure meningitis without drugs, feed the starving, cure HIV, cure TB, put a leg back on a child blown off that morning by a landmine...
yeah. that's me. with some of my paintings. the two on the left are called
immortal (perishable)
perishable (immortal)
i painted them for my dad, who died in july.i'm going to cambodia to do medical work. yup. that's about it.
happy new year.
may 2007 be wonderous for all.

why, eric d, this is some fukkin m0nster surprise, please do recommend your sex change doc, i'll go get it done too!
may i call you erica henceforth?
you know i've always wondered about the mystery surrounding these eerie random spams. they only end up in my inbox when i go nuts and then of course there are no mysteries, each and every one of this type of emails contains the truth about yet another parallel universe where i'd be more than happy to go live instead of here.
now i've tried following the directions they give to get there, but i always end up in tijuana. i need to get me a 5-dimensions gps thingie... they tend to give time (4th) and probability (5th) coords, so's hard to find the place without a proper sextant.
*laughs* erica it is
i could use that gps too...frantically scribbling a "must do in the next 72 hours" list
okay erica, good luck with kindergarten in 2oo7 and all that, i thought my buddy serenity was a baby, but omg you're still in diapers (looking at all). absolutely lurv your little pony tails or whatever the proper term is for your hair style.
looking and all wtf nothing i say makes sense anymore... not that it ever did. bloody fukkin wetbacks taking american jobs away!
i want that thing around your neck, that is a star trek comm badge, i want that! i am that geeky. beam me up, erica. energize!
i know i said it before, the thing about the comm badge, but it's the holy trinity in play, i'll come to cambodia for it, i swear!
party starts in 30 min, i still want to sleep instead!
As z0tl says, a monster surprise! And there I was harbouring thoughts that you may even be gay (definitely picked us some feminine vibes). I'm very glad.
Your paintings are talented, and its great to see them on the wall (next to artist) instead of on screen. OK then, on wall, on screen... but still.
And I wish you the best for Cambodia. I've only ever been to Thailand, and am more travelled in Eastern philosophy than eastern earth, but either way - East is a fascinating direction. I only hope you still have Neb access and continue to blog.
YAPPY HEW NEAR!!
