Banged up Abroad

Time for a prayer....

Dear God,

If ever i have the misfortune to fall into the wrong company and stupidly agree to smuggle a large package into the country. Please, please dont let me get caught.

Even bigger please, DON'T ever ever ever ever ever let me get thrown into a Venezuelan prison.

I promise to be good from now on.

Amen

This comes after I watched the TV program " Banged up abroad" last nite http://www.thelondonpaper.com/cs/Satellite/london/tv/article/1157149255089?packedargs=suffix%3DArticleController

Scary!

I woke up last nite in a hot sweat thinking i was in a Venezualen Prison. Nightmare. All I saw were lots and lots of scary people around me with flickknives and guns.

I tossed and turned. Count sheep, count sheep. 1, 2, 3, But why do the sheep all have bullet proof vests?

Disturbing.

Saw an episode. not mondays. i saw one where they ended up in nepal smuggling gold - 4 years. I have to say apart from being in jail for 4 years it didnt seem that bad. they did not fear for there lives.... i have to say these must be the dumbest people on earth!!

They wernt even doing it for the money,. they were doing it for an adventure....

I headbanged like I was 18 again :) Happy Happy me. Althou my neck was sore the next few days. Then this week has been so weird. Two things have happened to me. 1. I got to be around grumpy people 2. I went to yoga classes in my dinner hour. So lets do 1 first. I consider myself a happy go lucky girl. Always looking on the bright sidea life. Always ready to be friendly to any person I meet. So when I have the misfortune to meet with grumpy grumpy and im talking real grumpy people, I just wanna kill them!! I just dont get it. Whats their problem? Why cant they just go home and be grumpy there instead of inflicting it on the general public. I sometimes give them about 2 sec of my life. I say "Loser" to myself and that's it. But some how they are still annoying me just by being i...
