friend!

My friend Ahmed (head of security at UNHCR Aden) introduced me to his friend Jen. What a lady! She is a fantastically irreverent, funny, well-intentioned gal of an indiscriminate age (I guess between 25-33)hailing from Detroit. She is essentially a shit-show and has brought untold joy into my life. Although she has explained it several times (usually when I’m only pretending to listen, but really thinking about just anything else. Usually food. Girls, you know what I’m talking about) I still don’t really understand what she’s doing here. Something with AIDS, refugees, global healthcare… I’m not sure. She’s pretty cool, and my first real lady friend here. I only hang-out with dudes. Wonderful but exhausting.
