so looks like i haven't written anything in over a month and i can only attribute it to pure lazines. plus i figure only my sister and like 2 other people actually read this blog but oh well, it is semi-self-gratifying anyway in a wholly-self-absorbed way. so am currently in george, along the garden route and up ridiculously early so why not write about myself.
not even sure what's been going on since the last post, there was a stick lodged in my foot at that point that we didn't know was there, was massively infected til christin decided to dig around in my foot with a safety pin n fished out the stick with tweezers. have a big creepy scar there now, it's really hot. from then til now...been in a pretty steady state of discomfort. cut off a bit of my toe on lion's head, had numerous heavy duty colds n now, just been mugged in guguletu and pretty sore from that. perhaps africa doesn't like me, but i still like africa!
realllllllly upset that my purse is gone and perhaps a bit unreasonable but mostly about all my sweeet photos from this past week! linda n angelee from back home are visiting and we'd been tearrrrring it up in cape town. also, i had been running a youth life skills workshop on friday afternoons at the Refugee Centre and i had all these great photos from the last workshop where we were giving out certificates and had a 'lil party. my absolute favourite kid and love of my life who is only 13 wrote a poem about human rights in 5 minutes and read it out in front of everyone it was amazing. linda has shed tears reliving the poem.
so we got mugged big time though details are sketchy it happened so fast! i think i got grabbed, hit in the face n shoved backwards cus i landed on my head on the road and linda had a gun to her. it's all very dramatic. we were with two intimidating, tall, super manly n ripped guys too (these details may or may not be accurate) so oh well but at the same time, what the fuck. am really really really bummed! i did gain however, a big bump on my head, soreness throughout the body and numerous scratches everywhere so at least i got something :P
so apparently this post is really about nothing. i'm sure that since my last one my life has been more than just a blur of vodka and cheeseburgers but can't really remember just now. there were lots of good times and some sad goodbyes. anyway, think it may be time to roam the streets of george in search of a nice massage. wish me luck!
