I have a friend who is working as a civilain contractor in Iraq. She's not allowed to tell me where she is but she once said "Hitler's Palace," which I took to be Saddam Hussein's Presidential Palace in Baghdad. This morning when I read how 22 people had been killed in Baghdad, "including 2 American defense contractors," I started worrying about Tina again. And I will do that probably until I get an email or an instant message from her sometime in the next two weeks, like I always do.
I hope she's ok. I hope it's never one of your buddies. Stay safe. Thanks for writing this.
I hope she's ok too. I know it must suck to be at home, wondering. It's painful when you see these headlines. Just keep thinking about her. I am sure she's fine. Be positive.
With each new entry, I find myself more immersed in your world. I worry for you, and for your buddies. You've a gift for evocative writing, one that the Stars and Stripes could use. Thank you for putting me on the front line while I'm in the safety of my apartment, and yes, that last statement makes me feel guilty.
Thank you for immersing yourself into my world. I try, as best I can, to "tell it like I see it", I am just glad you get me. I am glad some people get a chance to understand what its really like over here.
You're welcomed in my foxhole anytime your mind needs to wander.
I did some surfing and encountered your journal. All I can say is...wow. This is by far the most significant journal I have ever stumbled across.
I've added you, but I don't mind if you add me back or not; I realize I am a teenager with few, if any, significant things to say and far too many conspiracy theories, and what a pain scrolling can be :)
Congratulations, you've found me! haha ha ha....ughh, it was funnier in my head. Thanks for reading this little journal. I hope you read and comment often.
Hey, thanks for reading! I am happy you feel this way about my journal.
I've added you too, mainly because your layout rocks. You could, however make your font a little bigger. It's already kind of hard to read because of the color scheme. That way, passers-by can read your journal without dismissing it over something so minutae as font size.
feeling better? well, i'm sick as hell. nose and eyes are burning like a mofo. as you probably noticed, i'm not writing on livejournal anymore; i will amuse you as well as my few friends with pictures from time to time.
[you have an increasing numbers of readers]
well, i'd write something to amuse you but union city is being rained on; it's may and yet feels like winter all over again.
i know they are. i have the cutest and most intelligent best friends ever. And they're better looking in real life than in pictures!! they're gems in millions of typical vietnamese girls and that's why they're associated with me.
date? i blew it. woke up late and umm... kinda not ready to let anybody in right now. i have an intimacy problem. not writing on my journal because i am sick of writing for other ppl. need to start writing for myself.
