last night i had my going away party..funny thing is im going to see almost everyone that was there again before i leave, (except for lucy wold, dang girl went to have an amazing experience in ecuador, and she didnt wait until after i left to leave...i love you to pieces lu) but sometimes you just need an excuse to party right? plus a dance party 2009 hadn't happened yet so there's reason enough right there. i can safely say that the party was the best of the year. some of you might be saying to yourself..."now, anna, isnt that a little presumptuous? that was only day 2 of the new year" well to you i say, no. not presumptuous in the slightest. im a pretty good judge of a killer party, that definitely was one. i had taquitos there for crying out loud! any party with taquitos is a darn good one.
now, im sure youre wondering why the beginning of this blog says 'dear charles'. its really a funny story so i'll start off with that. Charles Wilcox, whom most of you know, was among the guests at the party last night. we got talking about this blog, and he was telling me how much he was anticipating it to be humorous and well written, all the while the perspiration in my armpits getting more and more intense...anyways somehow we got talking about how i would entitle my first blog 'dear charles'. he didnt believe me, so naturally we put money on it. safe to say i have a crisp five dollar bill waiting for me when i get home in june....dont think i'll forget charles. in fact i think i'll do it one better....every blog from here on out will be written in a 'dear charles' format. so, get used to it folks. it'll be good for me, just like some people name their diaries so it feels like they're spilling their guts to a person as opposed to 60 sheets of college ruled paper.
As i enter my last week as an american, im taking time to appreciate the things and people around me that will be truly missed. two ply toilet paper to start..oh how i'll miss your soft touch. cloudy skies...moving on. origins 23 coffee shop, don't cry when i get my free WIFI from a coffee shop in thailand. and finally over-priced avocados. you've seen the last of me for awhile...but i'll be back, and when i am, you better be back down to at least a dollar a piece.
I'm so stoked to share my experiences with you all through this blog. i pre-apologize if any of them aren't up to your standards....(charles)...i'll do my best. i appreciate all your prayers as i take this incredible journey, i know it'll probably go by really quickly. but the sooner i come back, the sooner you all get your cool souvenirs. peace!

Lovely first blog, my friend. I'm wondering if you're already reconsidering your mention of your "last week as an american." No doubt you are finding you feel even more "american" in Thailand than you ever did here. Or should I say you feel more "farang?"
