Knows it all
Good taste in music
Can’t sing. At all.
Likes me
Hot for Dylan
Eats as much as I do
Burps like a trucker
Believes in me
Skeptical of EVERYONE else
Needs me sometimes
Doesn’t need me sometimes
Thinks with her heart
Reacts with her heart
Keeps me on my game
Stubborn doesn’t cover it
Nice lips
Bony toes
Can act like she’s my mom
Eew
Wants to make the world a better place
Takes on too much
Could stay with her forever
Distraction from what we need to do

Chad, Africa
Hot, Hungry, and Thankful Not to Have HIV O’clock
Here we are in Africa, where the focus is not on us and our problems. It’s on the crippling injustice in the world. The GDP (“gross domestic product”—don’t ask me; just look it up!) of Chad is 16.1 billion dollars. The GDP of the USA is 14.3 trillion dollars. Chew on that.
It’s pretty overwhelming. What can I, in the tiny scope of one life, possibly do to make a lasting and large change in the world? I’m a bird kid and a borderline celebrity at this point … but still, I’m just a drop in the bucket.
I’m down tonight, so here I am blithering on like Nudge. Max is asleep, and so is everyone else. Strange. We bird kids don’t take sleep for granted, you know? Occasionally things chill out … but they never really chill out. We just forget how crazy everything is… .
Okay. The bottom line is that what Angel said scared the bejeezy out of me. There. I said it.
