Day 18

In your eyes I see a darkness that torments you and in your head where it dwells. I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it. Let's walk away from this hell.

Day 5

Sean-Michael and I were watching my wonderful, new 7th season of Beverly Hills 90210 this morning when I got the absolutely genius idea to travel around, in search of locations from the t.v. series. We had such a wonderful time and I haven't been so excited in quite some time. A few of the places are hardly recognizable but it was still a blast! Thank you, Sean-Michael, for sitting with me through hours of traffic and chauffering me around all of Southern California. <3

Chocolate Milk in a Straw

A Long Way Gone

A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah should be read by everyone. It is such a extraordinarily impacting book. I think it's a memoir that all should experience in order to open their eyes and hearts to some tragic happenings in our world today, and to finding the inspiration, through these pages, to do something about it.

New York City, 1998

MY HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS have begun to suspect I haven't told them the full story of my life.

"Why did you leave Sierra Leone?"

"Because there is war."

"Did you witness some of the fighting?"

"Everyone in the country did."

"You mean you saw people running around with guns and shooting each other?"

"Yes, all the time."

"Cool."

I smile a little.

"You should tell us about it sometime."

"Yes, sometime."
