A person only has so many close friends.

I have to make this quick because I'm on my way to a hunger strike for the tibetans.
If I don't find two people to sign the lease to my house in the next week or so then I have to move out.
If anyone can help me out here, i would very much appreciate it.
I can give more details when I get back in a couple days.
love

11:18 am - like you would not believe
I'm not using my travel blog anymore, because the people who run my program read it and I really don't want to talk to them anymore.
I just got back from Mt. Everest yesterday. How trippy is that? I'm in Kathmandu until the 17th after which I am going to be in Ireland until the 27th then Amsterdam until June 1st. My plans beyond that are still up in the air and dependent on how much longer my savings last.
The night before I left the Solukumbu to come back to KTM, the Nepalis had a mad party at the lodge I was staying at. They forced me to get up and dance to Ricky Martin and Hindi music. Then I ended up sitting up most of the night talking in half English half Nepali with a guide who had just come back from a climbing expedition during which one of his porters had died. He told me about how he had made it into a University in Ktm but that two years in he had run out of money and has been working as a guide full time ever since despite only being 25. It's scary to think how easily your life could be completely different if you only had been born elsewhere in the world. At least I know that if I work enough while I'm home, I can always save to be able to do what I want eventually. Here you can work as much as I do at home and still sleep in a tin shack on a road side.
In other news, CMU won't let Brenna live off campus next year, so if anyone is looking for pgh housing let me know. It's a nice house and it would nice to find a couple of people to live there who aren't drunk drama queens.

11:27 am - plans
Recently I was trying to find where I had saved my resume and I happened to chance upon this conversation that I had with Nick a while back:
OrenjiMotoki: you need something to take your mind off of it... which is hard for me to give options because I'm in the same dilemma right now
ophelia343: We should have a broken hearts club and go out and do activities to forget.
OrenjiMotoki: Maiiiiiiine
ophelia343: Maine is like a cureall for all life's ills.
OrenjiMotoki: let's move there.
ophelia343: We can open a quaint bed and breakfast, because that's just what you do when you move to Maine.
OrenjiMotoki: Next door to a lighthouse
ophelia343: And one of those blueberry farms that Martha Stewart is always going on about.
OrenjiMotoki: We need a pet puffin
ophelia343: and rocking chairs on the front porch.
OrenjiMotoki: with hanging flower baskets
ophelia343: a whole rose garden complete with hummingbird feeders.
OrenjiMotoki: the beach in our backyard
ophelia343: We can collect sea shells and fishermen every morning.

If you read this, even if I don't speak to you often, post a memory of me. It can be anything, good or bad, as long as it happened. Then post this in your journal and see what people remember about you.
