you posted this a few days ago, and i made a point to go back and read it. not because your long drunken night was like my alternate for "the O.C." but because you're a really good writer. I love it when you really write. I have like 2 (counting you) people on my friends list who can actually write, and those are really the only entries i ever read.
was that weird? ah, who cares...you're out of ann arbor, i'm beyond your teasing.
i' just come home from NYC...and i miss it so much....actuallt, i miss my trip... NYC is such a great city, i was there for a few days at the beginning of august and i was hosted by a family in brooklyn,before coming i thought that all NY looked like downtown... then i travelled with a friend till 28th aug when we come back to NY to visit a frind who live uptown... i was in the rnc too!!!!! but outside, in the protest....i wanna know more about it from the inside...it is strange for me just to see a convention....politics is so different here...

inside was crazy. it was like any political rally, though. there were balloons and banners. politicians and famous people gave speeches, people clapped regardless of what was said. it was difficult to control myself, listening to people blatantly lie and bend the truth.
i found italian politics to be somewhat similar to american politics. you have many people who seem disconnected from their democratic process because the media has essentially "shut them off". they care so much about berlusconi's scandals and personal life that they completely ignore his actions as a politician... but that's just an observation of a foreigner who was living in your country.
what part of italy are you from? where else in the states did you travel to?
just once i saw balloons and all that stuff in politcs, it was last year, or maybe 2 years ago, when berlusconi and his party tried to make something which looked similar to an american convention...everyone laughed at him....
it is strange to find a foreigner who knows italian politics...how long did you live in italy? where? i live next to milan, in the north. i know, it is not so nice.... in the us i've been in NY (NY, carmel,syracuse) in MA:boston, duxbury, plymouth, cape cod.... and providence RI and connecticut: hartford and new haven i also went to toronto, canada..
people seemed to be having fun, but i was tired... and people were pushy about letting people sing. that's pretty weak. it wasn't that kind of awesome like karaoke with the umich posse. i tried to sleep. i got doused in alcohol... i bailed at 7AM.
greg! it's kendra. i hope it wasn't me who was being pushy about letting people sing!!!! i was crazy-ass drunk that night and any manners went right out the window. anyway...sorry it wasn't more fun! shit.
hopefully i'll see you during the upcoming detroit invasion!
