I fucking lost it. Laughed my ass off. Very, very, cool... thank you for that.<br/><br/>I got here from the Sullivan link, which is to say <i>before you were cool</i>.<br/><br/>Also I'm gay and thought seriously about the Peace Corps and may still do it, though I'd hope to be in one of those middle-class countries like Ecuador, or at least a poor country with more vegetables. But I'll be making decisions based in small part on what I read here. So don't worry, people are listening. When I got to the line “Spaghetti with CHEESE!” I fucking lost it. Laughed my ass off.

You're a great writer, which, I am sure is of absolutely no concern when you're horny, hot, and hungry. But at the very least know that you're words are cracking me up in Seattle.

I also read your article on the Advocate and deeply feel for your miserable life over there. I always wanted to do something like that but I guess that maybe I shouln't. Well I just hope that after all this time your return to your normal life won't be difficult. I wish you all the good food you can get and at least one good Harry Potter Book so you don't kill yourself. <br/><br/>Dany Morin, quelqu'un ayant compris tes insultes francophones. :) I agree, the blog thing is bloody hilarious.

I guess it was particularily funny since it hit close to home, having lived a little of what you seem to be living (but my Ouga was Oaxhaca, Mexico - a little tamer). I can imagine it might become frustrating at times but imagine the great and unique experience you're living. <br/>Keep on writing!<br/><br/>Pierre-David Hi,

Keep on writing!
