Um, let's start at the end. I'm stranded in Anderson, IN. It's a place of tremendous goodwill, but it's not home. I'm staying in a shelter for victims of domestic violence, trying to find work, and keep my spirits up.

I do believe I was sent here. I believe I have found my future husband. He's starting a new minitry under the Church of God. He's so passionate that I just want to help him. I feel liek Mary Magdelene.

My car was stolen. I need money for a train ticket and a bus ticket from Indianapolis to Hammond, IN, where my car is.

I have made many friends along the way. In fact, I heven have a date tonight to go to a movie. He's the General Manager of a cool coffee house which has karaoke on Tuesday nights.

In the meantime, I'm applying for food stamps and unemployment, possibly Section 8. If I hear one more tragic story of domestic violence, I think i'll scream. I'm writing them down in preparation for a play or novel, prehaps a non-fiction.

Please send the message out to my friends, especially Rikoala Jack, that I am in desperate need of help so I can help these other women.

Yes, I cannot believe that this really is my first life.

So..the Minster manages a coffee shop with karoke and the homeless shelter has high speed computers that has SL???

[Real life name] owns a coffee shop called The Daily Grind.

There's karaoke on Tuesday night at the Camarata.

The Minister's name is [name]. He lives with three male roomates in their late twenties with impeccable housekeeping skills and hygeine.

The Library has high speed internet, but won't let me load software, which was why I was posting here.

Atm, I'm living with a recent graduate of the Alexandira School of Scientific Therapeutic. He gives great massages and has a new Dell and uses dialup.

I've been trying to get to a GOM ATM on dialup. It hasn't been fun. I have been unsuccessful as of yet.

Oh, and if you're Around the Indianapolis area, Do come out to the Anderson Powwow this weekend. I'm helping [name] and a wonderful wopman who's struggling to make her bead and craft shop a success and regain full custody of her beautiful daughters. The name of the shope is On Higher Ground in Chesterfield, IN for all of your Indian, angelic, and natural needs. They do have some of the best prices on incense I've seen. Her Name is [name] and she's helped by a man named [name].

Believe me now?

Even better news is that I finally broke down and asked my parents for help, so they are sending me some money to get me home. AND THEN THEY DONATED THE CAR THAT HAD BEEN STOLEN!!! There was only about one thousand dollars of my belongings, a few sentimental items, and 6 years worth of memories in that car. Please remind me to revoke my order of durable power of attorney?
