Bienvenidos ...

Welcome to the Kingdom of the Wicked, a journal I'm starting to talk with anyone who's interested about news from around the world, politics, movies, music, and (at least occasionally) my own personal soap opera. Stay tuned ...

I'm sorry, but have we met? Reading your journal, I gather that you're a law student in Oregon--so not that far away. But I'm having a little remembering whether I know any law students, at the moment ...?

Maybe it's just early-onset Alzheimer's ... ;o)

Apologies--It's sort of like: "Saavedra, this is your life. Do you recognize this voice ...?" But I think that I know who you are, now.... (Didn't we meet again briefly for an M6T3K thing @ C & S's house, last year? It was an inordinately lovely summer day & I was a bit restless about spending the afternoon in that dark, cluttered livingroom ...)

Congratulations on going to law school, BTW. Sounds like a challenge, but really worthwhile.

Hi! I noticed that you added me to your friends list. How did you find me? I love talking about politics so I will add you back. I love Seattle, by the way! I lived there in the summers of 2001 and 2002.

Samantha Power

I found you because your list of interests included Samantha Power. I was impressed: I don't meet a lot of other people who read serious nonfiction--let alone in Power's area of study. So I didn't want to pass up the chance to connect with someone who thinks & reads about these things.

Yeah, I feel a special affinity to Power because we went to the same college, and I saw her on Charlie Rose lately and she kicked ass. I look forward to reading your entries!

Now, now, you hardly seem the type to have your own personal soap opera. Perhaps I just don't spend enough time around you and thus miss all the drama? :)

I didn't know that you had a journal here! But now I do. So, hello.

To be honest, the personal stuff wasn't my main reason for starting the journal. But I occasionally betray a few secrets ... :-)

Thanks for introducing yourself, btw! Didn't know you were here, either ...

Oh, yes, I've been doing this for years. I wax and wane, but I never have considered quitting.

Duncan has a secret LJ that he doesn't use. I keep poking at him to start writing - he's such a good writer - but he just shrugs me off. He got the LJ so that he could read any friends-only entries that I post. But I keep hoping...

He's actually the one that pointed me at you. He kept saying that you had a journal here; that he had read about it in [livejournal.com profile] hippybngstockng's journal. Somehow I missed it until he sent me a link. :)

Hope you're well.
