Ooo Road Trip...

So I'm planning a road trip. I like road trips. In theory. I've never actually been on a road trip of any length (well not since Clint and I drove around in a VW van for a month but that doesn't count for obvious - and not so obvious reasons) but I'm pretty sure I'd like it. It's true. Because I like roads. And I like trips. So there you go. Road trip! Woo hoo! And I also like driving. And there will be driving. Much driving. And taking ridiculous photos. Because god knows there's nothing better than gratuitous ridiculous photo taking. But I'm not going to say anything else because I might jinx it and that's just no good. Nope. None.

But I will say that my digital camera is broken and it makes me sad. I don't mind sharing that because I'm hoping I'll jinx it. As a matter of fact, let's talk about it some more. Bah. Somehow I don't think the jinxing works that way. Wouldn't it be great if it did though? Sweeet.

My dog is really cute. That had nothing to do with the jinxing conversation. She's just really cute right now and it needed saying.

And I'm thinking of moving. But I'm not 100% sure where. It's looking like Nanaimo but I have to admit that that makes me a little nervous. Okay, more than a little. Nanaimo has not traditionally been a really great place for me. Don't get me wrong, I've had some good times there and I've met some great people (actually, most of the best people I know I met in Nanaimo) but I've also had some really awful times and met some really ridiculously not cool people. I think I'd much rather be moving to New York (hello Virve!) or London (hello Shae!) or Montreal (hello Marya!) or...somewhere...but given the circumstance (good job, cheap rent, getting on with grad school) it's looking like Nanaimo makes the most sense right now. Grrrr I say! So really, what should happen is that everybody I know should move to Nanaimo right now. RIGHT NOW I said! Where are you? Whatever. Don't defy me. You just have no idea who you're dealing with.

Did I mention that I also like tea. Mmm...yum.

I wonder if I couuld apply for grad school in Montreal or Toronto or somewhere and then still teach my online courses for Malaspina. I wonder if that would work. I'll have to look into that. Because that might be cool. Where else is good in Canada? Because I have to stay in Canada for the grad school because I'm poor. And being poor sucks ass. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I love Sex and the City. I don't know what it is but it's good. But Miranda scares me. She has those crazy teeth and they freak me out. She would bite your face in a heartbeat. Which is kind of strange when you think about it. Not the face biting but me being afraid of the crazy teeth. Because I kind of have crazy teeth myself. But maybe not face biting crazy teeth. Well, I might bite youre face but it wouldn't be like a whole ground beef kind of deal. With the gnashing and the whatnot. Whatever. She has scary teeth.

And it's my birthday in 20 days. And today is almost over so then it'll be 19 days which is almost 2 weeks. I'm very excited. Kind of. Because I really like birthdays. And not just my birthday. I like all birthdays. Birthdays are fun, what with the celebrating and the prezzies and the friends and the whatnot. I'm thinking I'd really love it if all of my lovely friends could be here. Which I know they can't but it's all about the wishful thinking. I miss my friends.

And it's kind of ironic...here I have all of these great, interesting, fabulous friends and it's the very things that make them so damn interesting and fabulous that keep us from being in the same place for any amount of time. There's Virve, living the life in New York (swank new job, swank apartment, cool hair, loads of interesting men, travelling the world, so jealous!!!), Shae, jet setting around the globe (she's living the posh life in London, she's visiting family in New Zealand, she's shopping the markets in Turkey, she's karaoke-ing till she drops in Tokyo, she's climbing the Great Wall in China, she's kissing my ass that dumb biatch!!), Marla being all smart and published like (studying the psychology, making the films, doing the art therapy with convicts - do I even KNOW people this good?), Tom who's been EVERYWHERE, who's both spontaneous and responsible (what with the travelling - spontaneous - and the career building and house buying - responsible - not to mention the renovating and building stuff all over the place - so cool). Do you see my point? What the hell?!

Anyway, that's enough of that. I'm obviously going to have to move somewhere fabulous. Yep. It's my only recourse. I've always wanted to go to Ireland. Maybe I could move there. Nice scenery, good beer, cute accents. WOo hoo! I'm outta here! :-)
