Because I'm blogging from my phone!

This is remarkable - not because I'm doing this from the depths of darkest Africa (although I have to tell you, I never did anything this futuristic in the States, except for that one time when I attended a Sci-fi convention in search of other illegal aliens), but because this is technologically challenged ME we're talking about! Me, the girl who can hardly send or receive e-mails without unleashing a thousand viruses and irretrievably corrupting the hard drive.

Yes, of course it's taking a little bit longer composing my daily magnum opus from a telephone keypad, which is prob y i've sudd been ovrcom by the desire 2 type like this & 2 tell u that u r all gr8! & that i'll c u l8er! & that i'll brb & i'm lol cos i think i'm so cool.

Updated from my laptop to say: Wow, it is expensive to be so cool! So it's probably much wiser that I remain uncool. It's either being tragically hip (now I know why they call it 'tragically' hip, because being hip plunges one into the murky, slum-smelling depths of poverty) or giving up coffee, and well, you all KNOW that there is NO WAY that I'm going to give up my caffeine!

Thought of you the other day...Starbucks was giving away free coffee (just plain coffeee, no fancy stuff, but free non the less)

Have only just noticed your link. Marvelous! And I shall reciprocate as soon as I get more free coffee and wake up form this long winter's slumber - American winters are rough!

is a South African girl living in South Africa. That doesn't sound very original, we know, but you might find it remotely interesting when you learn that she has only recently returned to South Africa for the first time after a nine year, one month and two week (non-stop!) stint in the United States where she accidentally became an outlawed alien (also known, especially in immigration circles, as an 'illegal immigrant.' We prefer the term 'outlawed alien' ourselves). During her reversed exile from her homeland, she kept herself occupied by winning this website (but only after shamelessly bribing the judges) and thus being unleashed on the web where she slowly, leisurely became the World's Laziest Blogger; by being a nanny and by attending sci-fi conventions in search of other aliens. In the US, she also made her sailing debut, her international acting debut, tried and failed to learn the piano, and never learned to cook. She is hopelessly addicted to coffee, dogs (especially Labrador Retrievers), how-to books (with a particular fondness for her copy of the Time/Life A - Z Medical Encyclopedia), and she tends to grossly overuse parentheses (we're not kidding) during her attempts at writing, which you may - if you really have masochistic tendencies - subject yourself to by reading the words to the right of this column. If you REALLY and truly STILL want to know more, you can read her C.V. here.
Or you can ~~stalk her~~ send her some love via e-mail at: redsaid[AT]gmail[DOT]com

The Wish List (Because yes, she really does need more how-to books. Honestly!)
