Gaaahhhh.


Just talked to someone with the London Times.



I'm getting way more comfortable talking with media- especially high-profile big league media- but I still feel about an inch high when I get off the phone with them, like who am I to be hobnobbing with people in this circle?

Heh.


Weird stuff.

Honey, trust me, they're all a bunch of drunks. They're just as shellshocked to be talking to you.

Speaking of that, have you talked to CNN already?

[violachic.livejournal.com]

I haven't, personally. I don't think we have, though, we're kind of trying to avoid them, considering they're the mouthpiece of the government and all.

i thought that was Fox News...

[violachic.livejournal.com]

Heh. Fox News is just Bad News.

[sxyblkmn.livejournal.com]

LoL!

this is true ;)

[marieoroumania.livejournal.com]

Ha! You have a point. But that could be said for any major news outlet these days.

[sxyblkmn.livejournal.com]

what was the phone call about?

[violachic.livejournal.com]

Well, i don't know how closely you've been following international news, but my organization (see our website (http://www.cpt.org) for details) had 4 people kidnapped in Iraq in November. We're still getting lots of media calls.

[sxyblkmn.livejournal.com]

whoa! i didn't know you were a part of that...how is that going...are they still being held in iraq?

[violachic.livejournal.com]

Yep, we haven't had any news at all since December 10th. Its very frustrating.

[sxyblkmn.livejournal.com]

so do ya'll even know if they're still ok?

[violachic.livejournal.com]

No, unfortunately. Its been just silence since then. We have no idea. That's the worst part.

[sxyblkmn.livejournal.com]

yeah, i can only imagine...
