Thats What She Said

I was nine the first time I heard Baby invoke that most holy of Trinities – The Beatles, Kennedy, and The Peace Corps. Eighteen years later finds me packing a bag full of 80lbs worth of underwear, books and tampons. From Dirty Dancing to Africa. I guess you never know what’s gonna change your life.

Hello November 16, 2006

thats what she said @ 7:16 pm

I currently live in Seattle. In about 10 6 3 months I will live somewhere in Africa in Cameroon.

I am a 26 year old girl with the hobbies of a 74 year old woman, and the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy.

I enjoy The Boss, and also cheese.

I don’t enjoy the word ‘Blog’. I think it sounds gross.

When I am at work, I generally have this expression on my face:

Don’t I look sad? And a little startled? Hence the ’somewhere in Africa’  ‘Cameroon’ bit.

If you are ever in Seattle would like to have some beer or cheese, please drop me a line. Outside of work I am not usually sad. I am however, very easily startled. So don’t sneak up on me.

    so, why does your rss feed not work?

  2. Umm, because I don’t know what an rss feed is? Or does? Should it work? Am I missing out on something? Becareful you don’t get recruited…

  3. You Guess Says:

    you’ve got the little rss feed symbol on the bottom of your page – but I don’t have a clue how to make something like that work. The intent is along the lines of a podcast, whenever your page was updated my rss reader (outlook, as it happens) would let me know almost like an e-mail. maybe it’s an extra-cost wordpress option?

    some info on feeds, and widgets, and confusion…

  5. Umm, I think I made it work. Well, WordPress allowed me to make it work by giving instructions so easy a semi-literate monkey could do it.
    Unless it’s not working. Then it is very very complicated.

    ah, no joy. perhaps a corporate firewall issue. I wil try with my trusty psp. or maybe at home.

    And now it works quite well, I’m suspecting an operator error on my part.

    Greetings … just ran across your blog. We’ve been busy breaking in Bangangte for your stage … I think you’ll enjoy it here but get ready for some rain and mud, at least at the beginning. It’s a stressful time, but it ends eventually (Tuesday for us) and will go by very quickly. Good luck!

    I googled “That’s what she said” looking for another blog but ended up on your site. Hmm? Anyways, my wife has mentioned joining the peace corps in the next 2-3 years after we finish college. Right now I’m not really interested, but that’s probably due to my recent four years I spent in the military in Japan. So I’m enjoying my time back in America for a little while. Well, I hope you are enjoying what you’re doing more than normal life.

    Take care.
