senegalais soireee [24 Jan 2008|04:04am] "we're all running away from something." -- JG, new best friend. Isn't that funny? I guess in September, when I decided I needed to spend a semester in Africa, I was running away from the boredom of DC. But god, I miss it. I'd kill for some cold air and a night at DC9. JG had some issues at home, but I know I had it really good when I left. JG is a good good friend of mine. Some cool fucking people study abroad in Africa, but I'm on this new friendship tip where I'm reticent to call someone my friend, because if you are I'll pretty much do anything for you. Last night I paid 1000 Francs to bail him out of a stupid situation.. you can read about that on blogspot I miss my mom. Gramma left, dad's working elsewhere, we're not subletting to interns anymore, my brother moved out. at least 100 different people have lived in that house the last year. But the night it snowed, "Joey slept over at his friend's house and I was all alone." tell
