Name, Rank, File
For those poor souls who simply stumbled upon this drama filled dispatch — as opposed to my friends and family who are obligated to visit it — here’s a brief description of the author:
28 years old, female, gainfully unemployed after years of overemployment, technically homeless, wandering through Africa, the Middle East and Asia for at least the first half of 2006. Bossy, prone to self indulgent ramblings and poor judgment/delusions of invincibility. English speaker who can count to ten in four languages, order a beer in Spanish and apologize profusely in French. Independent, book worm, blessed with an iron gut, amused by obsolete diseases like rickets. Or cholera. It’s a fun kind of Molotov cocktail of character traits that I’m certain will serve me well on the road.
The purpose of the blog is, in this order:
1.) Assure my mom I’m still alive;
2.) Alternately amuse and annoy friends and family with long winded tales of my misadventures and epiphanies abroad.
Welcome, hope you enjoy the blog, or at least quickly learn to avoid it in the future. Cheers -
Erica

New Years Eve in gay Paris….whoa girlie, what a dream. Your mama is doing really well- thought you’d like to hear that from a source close to the action. Am enjoying you from afar. I love you! Aunt Marsh

Hey Ulstrom -
I just got the blog link from Trish. You are clearly insane! But actually, it’s very cool and entertaining. Hope things are going well - sounds like it.
FYI: I will pass this along to J.R. if that is ok with you…..
