HELLO, MY FRIEND...A RE-POST FOR SINOME

Note: Today would have been Anne Frank’s seventy-seventh birthday. I first read her diary when I was about thirteen years old, the same age as Anne herself when she was forced to flee Adolf Hitler’s obscene racial policies and go into hiding. I never knew Anne personally, but since reading her diary... Sign in to see full entry.

THE BIRTHDAY SHOPPING IS ALMOST COMPLETE

I've just been to amazon to do some rush birthday shopping for mum and Roommie. I hope they'll like their presents! For Mum I bought the British tv series AS TIME GOES BY and I also bought her a pumpkin spice scented candle and Patrick Swayze's book THE TIME OF MY LIFE. For Roommie, I bought a set...

INDIFFERENCE IN THE MIDST OF SORROW AND ANGER

My insides are jumbled right now...I still feel so shocked...so strange. Let me explain. Last night, Becky called me with some very sad-or what most people would consider sad-news. A girl we've known for years passed away very suddenly either early last night or the night before. She was found on... Sign in to see full entry.

GOD BLESS THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE

I've just read online that the grandson of Josef Stalin is furious with the Russian courts over their decision to allow the Russian people to publicly "bad mouth" their former dictator. Ummm...excuse me, but why the hell shouldn't they??!! During his reign, he cruely and without the slightest... Sign in to see full entry.

PUTTING A FACE TO HER NAME

Earlier as I was scrolling the MSN home page, I read about a video of Anne Frank that's being shown on youtube and used by the Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam. Of course, I had to check it out. It turns out I've seen the footage before. It's the only known live footage of Anne, and it was taken on 22... Sign in to see full entry.

AUTUMN BLUES AND BIRTHDAY SHOPPING

I was supposed to go to Wal-Mart today with Roommie to do some household and grocery shopping, but couldn't. Ah, well. I think I may have had the same viral infection that I had twice already. Once last November, and then again in early January of this year. My mum is sick now, and I've told her... Sign in to see full entry.

COLD OCTOBER

My first official cold of the season! Ick! Why is it that people refuse to stay away from me when they're sick?? Here's to hoping it pisses off quickly Sign in to see full entry.

HAVING A ROUGH TIME OF IT

For the past couple of days, I haven't been myself. I think some of it definitely has to do with the weather and not being able to get outside for so long again. How I long for the spring! Since we'll be changing flats this weeknd, Roommie and I are looking forward to the springtime because Mum has... Sign in to see full entry.

OMG! I FOUND HER!

OMG....I'm still in shock here! I still haven't decided whether to hyperventilate or just pass out! I'm sitting here laughing and crying all at the same time! I know, I know...the minute you read this, you're all gonna wonder what the hell am I on about, so let me explain! A few minutes ago, I... Sign in to see full entry.

STILL SUFFERING

Hi gang... I need to ask for more prayers for my friend in Ireland. He's still very sick with something-what we don't know-and can't even get out of bed. I'm very worried. He's too weak to go to the doctor, but I've told him that if he can stay upright and awake long enough by Monday, he's to go and... Sign in to see full entry.

ALL RIGHT...BUT THIS IS THE LAST TIME!

I got a few comments after posting the latest bit of THE GARDEN KEEPER yesterday. For Merkie and Skye08 (thank you, ladies) I'm going to post the whole story yet again so they can read it from the beginning. I know it's quite long now, but I'd like to give some of you a chance who haven't been able... Sign in to see full entry.

A BIT MORE FROM BEN

I reposted THE GARDEN KEEPER again the other night, but as I didn't get any new responses, I have the sad feeling that most of you find it a bit too long to read. Not that I blame you...not in the least. So, to give you all a break, I'm going to post the latest bit only. Anyone wishing to read the... Sign in to see full entry.

WAITING TO BREATHE AGAIN

My friend in Ireland is still sick. I got an email from him this morning saying he was unable to go to class yesterday and that he wouldn't be going today either. I won't even try to convince him anymore to go to his doctor. It's just pointless and I really don't feel like arguing the point with him... Sign in to see full entry.

I THINK I MAY HAVE FOUND A MISSING FRIEND

I just went to my facebook account. Haven't gotten any messages yet, but I did get a friend invite from a fellow I used to go to school with. Not sure if I'll accept the invite though because I don't remember if we actually got on or not. Anyway, while I was there, just for the hell of it I decided... Sign in to see full entry.

HERE WE GO AGAIN

My friend in Ireland is unwell yet again. It's nothing serious, but what worries me is that he just keeps getting sick. Of course, Ireland is a rainy, damp country...especially in the wintertime...but it doesn't help that he suffers from Asthma and Chronic Bronchitis. Last night he kept trying to...

THE PAIN OF WAITING WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE...AT LEAST FOR NOW

After chatting to Becky the other day, I suddenly realised I'd made a terrible mistake in asking my friend from Ireland to wait until August to come. He'll have to return to school at the beginning of September and so will his girls, so August is out of the question. I thought about it for a long,... Sign in to see full entry.

HEART BREAKING NEWS

Please pray for Roommie... Her mother has end stage lung cancer, and from the news she just got from her sister, it looks as if the end is very near. Please keep Roommie in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you all and God bless... Sign in to see full entry.

WHY WOULD ANYONE WISH FOR THIS?

One of the more interesting chats I've had with my friend in Ireland involved a subject that infuriates me no end. I do my best to keep closed-mouth about it, should it arise in public, but it's one I have a very difficult time with. He told me that he once worked with a chap who was fed up with the...

HE MAKES ME LAUGH!

My friend in Ireland is so funny! Every single time we chat each other up, online or on the phone, he sends me into hyterics! A single word can get us going, and every so often we have to shout at one another to keep breathing! Tonight, of course, was no exception. I just got off the phone with him...
