Fairytales

Once upon a time there was a girl who had once met the Dalai Lama. She had lunched weekly with a US Senator and served as nanny to a family in Kaiserslautern, Germany. She had packed up and moved to Japan for a year of confusion, travel and the occassional all night binge with country singers. She met Rob Schneider along the crowded streets of Madrid. She founded a collegiate group dedicated to the International Criminal Court. She was a dancer and a pianist. She picked up a language...or two, studied politics and international relations, devoted herelf to coffee, Salinger and travel itineraries. She was motivated, dedicated, connected. She was interesting. Once.

I feel as though that stage of my life is all over now. Save the coffee...there shall always be coffee.
