So, you know, we all interact with the events of our loved ones' lives in various ways. With interest, of course, and excitement, prayer, concern...
So the whole going on HNGR thing, you know, it means a lot to me when people are interested in that. And excited, and prayerful. YAY! Thanks!
It also means a lot to me when people are concerned. Really. Seriously. (See conversation with my dad here). Thank you, one and all, for your concern.
The guys, in particular, have been very concerned that I be safe when I go. You know, no walking alone at night, don't act like a tourist, etc. They've been encouraging me to practice self-defense moves and stay away from creepy-looking alleys. OK, cool, thanks guys.
Yeah. So yesterday I had lunch with David and Chet. I got back from getting my food and they were huddled over an iPhone looking at something and wouldn't show me what it was until I made them.
Yeah, it was a Taser. What the heck, I thought, until I noticed something...
It was pink. With "I will not be a victim!" engraved on the side.
Pause. These are not pink-wearing boys. Yep.
OK, seriously?!!
Look, they pointed out, we found you one where you can be safe AND feminine! So isn't that great?! Won't I let them get me one so I can be safe on my Dangerous Third World Trip?!
Um! No!
I think guys maybe show love a little differently than girls do...
I am long on staying, I am slow to leave/ especially when it comes to you, my friend.

A friend of mine who knows his Berettas from his Springfields recommended a 9mm Glock.
I still like the taser idea because its fairly inexpensive and doesn't come under the same regulations as a firearm which makes it more portable and doesn't require the same permits.

love love.
