Heavy Sigh

I still can't quite seem to get myself out of the funk I'm in. Not sure why. I just feel like I can't do anything right, and that everything is just getting away from me.

Anyway...whatever. This too shall pass, worse things happen at sea, don't worry, be happy, etc. etc.

Have you heard that story about the "My Space" girl that went off to the Middle East to meet a guy? She had to have been behind the door when logic was handed out, don't you think? And how does a teenager get the money to go to Jordan? And I would think minors would need parental permission or something to travel internationally. The whole thing is bizzare. The mother did say computers are no longer welcome in her house, but if I were her I wouldn't let my daughter out of the house unchaperoned until she was finished college.

I don't know much about My Space, but it sure gets its share of bad press, doesn't it?

I wish I had something more interesting to talk about.

Someone tell me jokes or something.

can't think of a joke right now
what happened to that girl, was she kidnapped or something?
I did this, once, too (not to Jordan 'though. That's not a viable option for me. Well, it is, technically, but I wouldn't consider it). It was awesome. I really enjoyed myself (not to mention it was pretty cheap when you have a place to stay and someone who knows all the cool plces to go).
Is it careless? Yes, I suppose so, but so what. I mean, you can easily die from lots of things, like being run-over, so imo it's just another chance you take.

No, she wasn't kidnapped, she just ran off to Jordan.

Weird. But she's fine. Grounded until she's 30, possibly, but fine.

Where'd you go?

Belgium.
We even took a train to Paris for the weekend (lucky me to get a french-speaking escort because of the French and a male escort because of the Muslims.)
so I say yes to meeting people online, but make sur eyou actually do know them. Well.
