Woe. I am still stuck in Africa.

I know, I have weird job woes. I was complaining to my mom months ago that I was going to Germany too much and I was tired of it and I wanted to go somewhere else and my mom was all like "boo hoo."

She's my mother, she should FEEL MY PAIN. God only knows, I do.

At least there's a market down the street from the hotel and I can leave the hotel grounds in Accra and not feel like everyone is looking at me and plotting something (Nigeria just gives me that feeling, even though I know some wonderful Nigerian people).

Our Africa runs end in May so I took the opportunity to buy some African masks and some bead jewelry. So all I have to say is UP YOURS Pier 1 imports and World Market, I own the real deal! MUAAHAHAHAHA

I may be going a little loopy. Africa will do that to you. Oh yeah, I also got MOBBED by kids on the way to the market. They all wanted me to take their picture and their reward was to look at their goofy faces in the LCD of my camera. I swear, the kids over here seem to be happier then the pampered little crotch fruit we try and pass off as children in the states (2 years of working in a Toy Store... I may be somewhat bitter)

Photos will be forthcoming... someday, when I actually am home to edit them.

Anyhow, I shall hopefully be leaving tonight and getting my ass to Texas.

Good luck Tarina.

You have no good nickname. Rectify this please.

I shall remain nickname-less :)

Nope. I'll figure one out. After all, I'm the same person that came up with Appleday for Addie, so you know.

Happiness is a state of mind, and therefore relative. There was a study once where they asked people to gage their happiness, blahblahblah, and found that lottery winners and prisoners with life sentences tended to be equally content with their lives.

Very true. But its still nice to see people (especially kids) being happy and acting like kids. It's glass half full and glass half empty and it was just fun to be able to take a picture of a child and have them just be so full of GLEE at the prospect of seeing themselves acting goofy on your camera screen (these pictures are FANTASTIC)
