london one more time my friend hazel lives in london. if her mailing address said surrey or southwark, i would worry less. if she didn't say she took the underground almost everyday, this blog entry would have never materialized. but she lives in london, her address is london, she takes the tube everyday. she hasn't responded to four texts and a phone call in two days.

her cousin from minnesota says that she was supposed to be in italy this past week, but it isn't july 11 to 15 anymore. if i had never called him, he would have never known.

and he texted back an hour ago: no word yet, still trying. i emailed hazel earlier today. no response. her phone is off, a woman says, "the nextel customer you have called is unavailable. please try again later," in impeccable UK speech.

there are no people killed in yesterday's bombing, but it would be really nice to hear from hazel. she's called herself love since the past summer. i haven't even asked her why in the world she changed her name.  ¶ 7/22/2005 08:00:00 PM
