![time with tash [chaos in cairo]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl1Sto0_IXPl0pCFpiL-nNDF50gf0iI3QOKzeM0GftOBbVGxkYi0ZJ2KHZda8YM31af-GwmFEe8DtSSrPkkdogho7tVwz75wQbST7n0XJDc8OUE4ROmELrKI21n2-5OR-_MFliPA/s800/bloogo.JPG)
being the type of person that is highly unsatisfied by this reality, i often get driven to a point where i want to do something really really outta control. and it's at those times that i have to say woooooaaaah tash settle down (or i imagine shirls saying it).
so in order to ease my dissatisfaction, tonight i revisited memoirs of an adventure i had last year. blah blah point of the story is that (if you've mentioned anything remotely UN-like to me, you know this already) during the course of my boring life, i have had the pleasure of meeting mr kofi annan. yup. and for all you haters who have previously questioned the authenticity of my claims, HERE is the proof. crank your head to the side and you'll get a better view.
and it didn't end with video, you bet there were photos too. i have no idea how i managed to get this close to mr annan's face (and the high commissioner for refugee's who is standing right behind him) without him turning to me and calmly saying "my child, what are you doing?"...
instead, the situation that followed this photo was:mr high commissioner: [chuckle] sir, i think this young lady would really like to meet you.
mr annan: [warm kofi smile] well, i would really like to meet this young lady.
tash: [rabbit in headlight]
mr annan: [takes my hand] what is your name?
and that my peeps was the beginning of a very exciting adventure in one very ordinary life.

Dearest Natasha,
It's been a long time. I hope you are well. It's me Kofi. I'm sorry I didn't email back, you know I had a few coups and genocides to deal with lately. Anyway I very much like your BLOG and I'm told it's had many hits (which is something we ironically try to avoid here at the United Nations). I wish you all the best and if you could do me a favour and not invade anywhere in the next few months it would be much obliged.
Truly,
Kofi Annan
PS - It's me again. A couple of the guys (and girls) at the office really like this song. Go to http://hype.non-standard.net/search/regina/1/ and click on the song 'fidelity'. Supposedly it's about the Kyoto Protocol and I think it's spot on.
did you remember your name??
sweet kofi...
dearest mr annan,
i want to thank you for your hospitality during my short stay with your organisation. thank you for not kicking me out that one time i lost my access pass and was asked to show it while in the general assembly hall.
i'm sorry to hear that you've been so busy, i imagine international relations is tricky, even for someone as charismatic and charming and powerful and intelligent as you.
i'll try not to invade anywhere in the near future, at least until your replacement comes along.
your sister in combat,
tash
"i want to thank you for your hospitality during my short stay with your organisation. thank you for not kicking me out that one time i lost my access pass and was asked to show it while in the general assembly hall."
Oh yes, we don't normally do that for Arabs. This one time Arafat lost his pass. He was so angry, and was shouting "Don't you know who I am" to the security guard. You should've seen his face when I walked past and told the security guard that I had never seen that man before in my life time. Oh the pranks!
