Redsaid

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!)

Memoirs

That's the amount of years I've been in reversed exile in the States.

I think it calls for some more medicinal drinking, don't you?

sweets, no new yet about what you're gonna do? here's an idea: finish the nanny saga, publish it and then you'll get one of these "work-related" visas because you're famous and all and the US let famous people in the country all the time.

oh, one more thing i was gonna ask since the last entry but somehow never got around to: why do you need to pick up some drunk in a bar to marry you for a GC when you have the boy??? just grab him!

anyway, i'm thinking of you and i hope you will work things out one way or the other! *hugs*

That or marry someone...

Oooh! Get drunk AND marry someone! I am genius.

Shame angel, I don't know how you've done it, you must have the patience of a saint!

Marry the Bookstore Diva. They do allow that in Baltimore, don't they?

Wondered how long it would take you to find it... (about a week!)

MSN is working fine for me... Come on.. get on it!!! Been too long!

hey red... sorry I haven't visited in awhile. medicinal drinking sounds like a great plan. I like Annika's idea... go to Atlantic City, get trashed, wind up married to either "the boy" or possibly some bellhop. Either or, as long as he's American!

ha, you're getting assaulted by more spam.

Red - you've been tagged! :)

I offered to marry her,but George Bush won't allow it .I say that we seek the advice of the all knowing St. Oprah.
