Well, friends, I'm leaving tomorrow night for Africa for one week then London/Europe for two-three weeks. I'm nervous and excited, but mostly stressed right now. So much to do, so...little interest in doing it.
Anyway, the theme of this post is friends.
I've been going through an interesting phase these days. A friend-weeding phase. And I like it. I'm saying Goodbye, I love you and won't forget you to some, and others I'm reconnecting with. It's been fun.
And yet others I've been trying to reconnect with...apologise to. That's not so fun, but it feels good to do it.
But I'm sad to be leaving beause I'll miss all my friends. I don't know if I've ever really felt that before. I've always been more of a loner, so, to 'miss' my 'friends' is weird.
So, all that to say, hello to Annie who I WISH I was more connected with but just haven't been able to at ALL; hi to Patricia who's my faithful phantom blogger; hi to Beth who's ever-readiness to post something containing 'l love you' never ceases to amaze; Rebekah...my roommate, I live with you so I'll say goodbye to you later....(I feel like I'm making a speach at the Oscar's....)
and everyone else...you know who you are (catherine, jill, mandy, ruthi...) I'll talk to you on the flip-side (of the world).
love always.
Claire
ps if I die Catherine can go through my stuff first.

Have a safe trip. I miss you an love you. I am excited to hear about all your adventures. I wish I could come with you.
sweet - i got a shout-out. when you get back we can connect!
this is the first time i've been able to read your blog since june (not so much email access here in darfur). i was just checking to see if you had written about our trip to kenya yet, which you haven't you lazy ass, and i came across this little tidbit from your profile "I'm purposely trying to keep life simple right now...not hopping on any planes in the near future". that's clearly old and you have clearly resorted to escape-by-plane (not that there's anything wrong with that. i'm all about it. no judgement here). when you write about the trip, email it to me because i'm back in habillah tomorrow and have no access there. if any of you want to read my version of the 'trip to kenya' story, follow the link to "Ames in Darfur" and it's there. i miss you de ath.
hey guys--um, i feel like a complete idiot bc I've been wanting and trying to post pictures etc but since I don't know my username OR password...I'm SOL.
Anywho, I'll be home on Friday or Saturday....so see you SOOOON!!!!
