Gyða says:
I am so glad to hear you are ok

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
yeah, it's too much

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
i just checked the death toll

Gyða says:
I´ve been thinking a lot about you in this armageddon situation

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
114,000 +

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
it's too much

Gyða says:
yeah, on CNN earlyer today they said 123,000

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
one is too many

Gyða says:
yes and this is getting to be so mutch that it is becoming surreal

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
right

Gyða says:
speaking of one, my grandmother died this christmas

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
no

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
i'm so sorry gyda

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
that's so sad

Gyða says:
thank you

Gyða says:
she had been waiting to die for some years but it´s always kinda sad

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
that's harsh

Gyða says:
yeah, shed been depressed as hell forever but since our granddad died 12 years ago it rose to new levels

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
i'm sorry hun

Gyða says:
so it´s sorta like that no one will miss her terribly but we grieve for the life she didn´t live sorta

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
right

Gyða says:
and I got sick and have been spending the last few days on my parents couch, coughing and felling sorry for myself being a very sad case

Gyða says:
but now I think I´m gonna be OK

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
it does get better

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
but there is never any pressure or a rush

Gyða says:
Thailand must be in a very sad state

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
it's all about being honest with yourself and your feelings, and being in a positive supportive environment

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
it...it is

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
i would say bangkok, being both the capital and far away, is more or less unchanged in terms of the people, but perhaps it's proximity

Gyða says:
one feels stupid feeling sorry for oneself when people are experiencing such pain

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
but the nation is hurting and coming together in a very good large-scale way, like all of the other dozen or so countries that have been affected

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
i felt really helpless and small and useless

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
but after a lot of blogging, i've decided that it's not my fault at all, it's just something that happened, a natural horrific something

Gyða says:
yeah, but the only good thing about a situation like this is to see so many people come together to help out

Gyða says:
millions have been raised here in Iceland to help survivors

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
and maybe that was the hard part. the aftermath and the united states being so petty and all of the other booyah things about the policies of foreign aide

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
go iceland!

Gyða says:
yeah, you can see the real nature of people and countries, like the true priorities of the States

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
yeah, i was just so disappointed

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
very very ashamed too

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
an article i posted a clip of, said that the US is now going to double their amount to 35 million...

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
whaaa?

Gyða says:
yeah, but it´s only the government that should be ashaimed

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
then a shitload of people called them on it, and while the gov. made excuses and became all defensive, more money poured in from all over

i am alive despite a tsunami says:
it's the word and the actions of the people, and that's what makes it hopeful

Gyða says:
they look pretty pathetic when they spend like ten times more every day fighting an unarmed country than helping innocent victims of nature
