The Prodigal Daughter Returns

Despite the truly heroic effort made by Mr. Rob Richardson in Portland, and due to the massive slabs of plywood shoved up the rectum of every Immigration officer in Thailand, I am back in Seattle.

First let me make it clear that I AM returning to Thailand, I have a round trip ticket and I am going back early May. I got my year-long visa (again, thanks to Rob), but the Thai athorities insisted that I could only activate the visa with a trip from America rather then jumping across a Thai border like a normal country would allow. I figured that this was God or Whoever telling me that it was about time for me to go back and see my loving friends.

Right now I am living in my home away from home (or perhaps just my home since I don't really have a home to be away from), AKA Sarah's basement. I came back after being away from two years to find "my" room all ready with fresh towels, clean sheets (pulled back), and a few books on Thailand freshly checked out from the library waiting for me by the bed. Not bad considering that I only gave Sarah roughly 24 hours notice that I was coming! (Sarah, if you are reading this, you forgot the mint on the pillow. I expect to find it next time.)

I've been about four days without sleep (I am not kidding on this, I will try to tell the story soon) so I am going to pass out. Just wanted to let you know that I was in Seattle so that you could clear up your social calenders for April. See y'all soon at Matt's party in my honour.
