I need to travel.

I need to just get away, and go for a bit. See some new things, meet new people. I think that the potential trip back to England this summer is a no go. Nothing has been said to either a yes or no end, but there has been major avoidance of the issue, and while it will be crushing (I will probably cry)when the actual no comes, at least I have all this time to deal with it, and hopefully develop a 'Meh, I don't need to go this summer' attitude. Hopefully.

It would also probably be helpful if I stopped watching so much OLN. My current favorite show is Departures, and the lovely people at OLN have decided that every night at 9 they are going to play an episode. This is great, because the show is amazing, the cinematography is beautiful, but it also makes me want to travel like they are. Although not to the same places as they are. Jordan? Check. New Zealand? Check. Cambodia? NO. Antarctica? HELL NO. I deal with snow for 7 months of the year, I don't need to go somewhere to see more (although, I have to say it would be cool to say I've been there)

I do have a list of places that I really want to see, and hopefully soon, although it does look like I will be going on my own. Maybe I can coerce my sister into going with me? Who knows. Maybe I'll win millions in the lottery and all the friends who keep saying "I can't afford it" will have to shut up and get on a plane :P We'll see...


Places I want to see:

1) Greece. Very badly.

2) Australia and New Zealand

3) The rest of the United Kingdom (and England again)

4) Belgium

5) Iceland

6) Sweden, Denmark and Finland

7) Italy

8) France

9) Spain (again)

10) Jordan

11) Maybe Turkey...

12) Peru

13) Easter Island (I don't really want to see anything more in Chile, but it would be a cool place to go)

14) Czech Republic

15) Hungary


And many, many more. I don't really have any specific desire to see any of Eastern Asia, although if the opportunity presented itself, I don't think I would say no. Japan might be cool though. Who knows? My mom wants me to plan and England trip for next summer anyway, so I will at least get to see more of the country then..if we actually go. That is the biggest roadblock in my life right now. "If."
Good grief I hate that word.

Thoughts of the moment...
4.04.2009
~ My new favorite thing is cooking with butternut squash and/or zucchini. We're having butternut squash casserole tonight!

~ My sister got to go see Wicked in London's West End last night. I am incredibly jealous. I own the behind the scenes book and know all the words to the songs! Why didn't I go with her?

~ I really want my tax return.

~ Bought Twilight and watched it again - it really is a horribly done movie. New Moon better KILL IT, or I will be very sad.

~ I am not sure when it happened, but all of a sudden I have become the friend that no one invites anywhere. Even you. I get to look at Facebook pictures of my friends going out together, but that I'm not involved. I don't understand what I did. I have no life, because all my friends hang out with each other, and not with me. What did I do wrong? Seriously. TELL ME. Because I am so lonely it hurts. And I never invite anyone out, because I think (fairly accurately, if my current track record is anything to go by) that they won't want to anyway.

~ I am going to make my own curtains one of these days... I just have to get more fabric.

~ I have the saddest existence ever. Why am I still here?
