From Overseas

One of my good friends from college is a medic over in Afghanistan. I haven't heard from her in months and this afternoon she dropped me a MySpace message. It actually laughed out loud while reading it at my desk:

"You have no idea how many hand jobs and other shameful acts that needn't be mentioned it took to get onto MySpace in this Godforsaken country, but now that I'm on: HI!!!

Other than fighting off the shakes, I'm doing as well as a forcefully extended bitter bitch of a "soldier" can be. Just curious to hear how you're doing, so hit me back. I miss you and cant wait to see you again!!!!

Email me, So@24 and tell me of your jaundice adventures in shrugging that addiction to abstinence... "

Come back safe, my friend. And I will share with you the stories from my blog over a bottle of Jack Daniels like we used to in the good ol' days.

If she only knew...

I hope it all goes well for her! She has a lot of catching up to do; maybe you should just send her the link.
Do the guys around her a favor and make her desperate to get more computer time.

I hope she comes back safely, too. At least she has a sense of humor.

I wonder what Snoopy would say about this??

Glad to hear she has such a great sense of humor. And I second Sequined, send her your link!

Hope your friend comes back safely, my cousin just returned after 15 months over there. And it's definitely good to know she's still got a great sense of humor.

Lisa - Music to my ears! Welcome.

Sequined - I probably will. She would definitely appreciate it and hopefully distract her mind from all the shit going on over there.

Valley G - One of the funniest girls I know.

Mouthy - I've missed your commentary.

MsPudd - You should hear her talk about what it's like over there. She can spin any situation to have a humorous side.

Charming Hedon - I'll have to tell her that! It'll definitely get a laugh out of her.

d$ - Or Woodstock. That mo fo was deep.

Katelin - Keep your fingers crossed for her!

Pinky - Welcome welcome!

Pocket - Thanks for the compliment. On behalf of both of us!

BLGG - I'll let you know what she thinks.

DOTM - Sad for both of us

I wish I could tell people about my blog. I'm afraid my friends would de-friend me if they knew about it!
