Dear blog,<\/p>\n

It’s not that I can’t stand you. Ours has been a love\/hate relationship lasting four years now. I started you ages ago, and then quite suddenly I found a job and life became too complicated. I think newsvine<\/a> can take some of the credit too!<\/p>\n

Now I’m just too busy again, though I won this fabulous asylum case that gave me a migraine. I even garnered a mention on Bender’s<\/a>, which is so cool. Mostly, I’m just happy that my client won’t be returning to a country where she will probably be killed.<\/p>\n

If you had asked me five years ago what I thought I would be doing with my life, it might have included the words "rights, writing, and home." Back then I was still living through hell, but I still firmly believed in civil rights and writing to my heart’s content. Never would I have thought I’d be doing immigration…<\/p>\n

Oh, and blog, you have been warned. I have a 6 month old Chihuahua named Ravi. He is my obsession, and I have caught myself wanting to write about him every single day!! Seriously, this puppy can do no wrong, and when he does, I can’t stay mad. He is just too cute, and too damn smart!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
