Dear Readers,
Happy New Year! I sense many changes coming this year and I hope they're for the better.

Okay, someone had previously asked about my favorite writers. Well, I have a new one to add to the list: Khaled Hosseini. I previously read The Kite Runner, which was excellent, and I'm now reading A Thousand Splendid Suns. I have no idea why I put off reading it for so long. I just finished a chapter and am so caught up in what is going on in the story that I had to put it down. What happens next? I'm freaking out! This is a specially powerful book for women as it's told from a women's perspective, but guys would like it too. Check it out!

I hadn't meant to write tonight, but here I am. I had to share that with y'all.

As usual, there's been some crap going on. There's a creepy Mexican predator sleeping on a bunk bed in the hall outside my door who's been giving me a hard time. I've told him multiple times since October "Nunca" meaning "Never" in Spanish. I am NOT interested. Well, I had a visitor recently and he's spreading all kinds of crap about me and the other guy. One rumor is we were caught "in the act" (not true). Plus, he went and got this guy's cousin to stand outside my door the last time the guy came by—just to cause trouble.

Anyway, I told him to leave me the fuck alone, and he and the other guy almost got in a fight. And now he's going around saying that I smell all the time like I've been fucking, including the odor of shit. I assure you that I am known for smelling like the cologne oils that we buy off commissary. I love my colognes!

Anyway, this psychotic jealous predator has really been giving me a hard time. I'm sending out energy to get rid of him and I've been successful with that in the past. Here's hoping it works again.

Okay, I've got to get some coffee and get back to my book. What's next? Will things turn out okay? Read the book!

Howdy again.

Okay, the latest is that I've completely cut off my (now) former friend "Dawn". Dawn is the type of person who is very friendly, but who will then screw you over as soon as he can.

First Dawn tried to help some guy who ripped me off to get a copy card form me (for the copies). Then someone owed me some stamps and gave them to Dawn to give to me, and Dawn decided to keep them and tell me some lie about "losing" them. I got them after I threw a fit. And now Dawn had the officer look something up about me on his computer in order to tell people behind my back and use it against me. Okay, I will be honest and admit that this "thing" is my age, which I am sensitive about. You may consider that childish and that's fine, but the point is the fact that he's doing it behind my back and using it against me with guys I "like." That's actually the point.

Dawn would habitually cut me down and say what a "bitch" I am (true), but at least I can be trusted and would never, ever do the devious crap that Dawn does—like telling two different guys that he's going to live with them when he gets out so they'll both send him money. Thank the Goddess he leaves in three weeks and will be sent to the sex offenders' unit.

Love and blessings,
Kelly
