Give me a week, I'll find the thief! And that loud drunken girl seems to be a bit off her rocker.. be sure to hide her key from her when she tries to come home next time she's had a date with alcohol. XD It's too bad reality can't put a huge black square for a censor on things we don't want to see! Good luck, I hope you get the position. =) Ohohoho. Give me a week, I’ll find the thief!

Stay with me Caitlin as this does , in some roundabout way, relate to you ( i hope). I'm reading a book right now called A New Earth, Awakening to your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle. I've been struggling (feeling stupid) with the philosophical ideas in the book, but I think you've helped me understand the meaning of chapter two. It's about understanding the 'ego' and it's need for things which we believe give us our identity. That is not who we truly are. Who we are is not defined by things (our religion, our friends, our clothes or hair colour, our cameras) If my understanding is right, then part of the reason you're feeling a little lost in London is that you don't have the comfort of the things around you that you think help define you. You are experiencing a truly raw,scary, exciting, new YOU. Your fear and sadness will turn into strength . I admire and envy you for giving yourself this experience. You are going to find out who you really are minus all the trappings. Embrace it...with all the fear, and all the unknown...and all the joy. I hope this is the correct meaning of the book so far, and that it helps you in some small way understand what you are experiencing, and if it's not and it didn't, well...then....never mind.
