HNT!!! Only one more full day and I will be “setting out on a jet plane…” yeah, I can’t remember the rest of that one. My brain feels a little fried today. Go figure. LOL Anyway, don’t have a whole lot to chat on this morning, although there is a lot swirling through my head. So, I am going to leave you with a couple of pictures to tide you over until my return on Monday.

Oh…and I am helping a friend out (plus I find it pretty interesting as well). He is working on a project for school and had sent this to me over on Connexions. I can say that I have dated two people outside of my own race, and had pretty decent relationships with them, but, as with most good things, they came to an end. I have a lot of friends who currently date, or have previously dated, interracially. I know that down here in North Carolina it isn’t exactly the accepted thing. I would like to know your feelings/opinions on the matter. (Below is the questionnaire he had sent me).

Random thought: listening to yahoo launch music and a Fefe Dobson video just popped on…I hadn’t heard anything from her in forever!

3. Do you know anyone who has?

4. Do you prefer interracial relationships? Why or Why not?

5. Can interracial relationships be more problematic as same race relations? If so, how?

6. What problems or stress issues have you or others experienced related to interracially?

7. How do you or others deal with these issues?

8. How were successful were the outcomes?

9. What suggestions/advice do you have for others in similar interracial relationships?

I am looking to improve the appearance the workspace here...would love to hear any suggestions as to what you would like to see or hear about from me. You can email me or post a comment. Have a great day!
