Well,a rich grandma makes you a hell of a lot closer to your trip than I am to mine! So what could she possibly ask you to do in return for the money? Surely it'd be worth it. I feel the same way about Australia, I love the bush, the light, the beaches and just everything about it! I haven't seen a whole heap of my country yet, but you can do the caravan trip when you're old Ugh winter! Does it snow where you are? I've been talking to a few people about their local temperatures and I can't believe how cold it gets!! I honestly cannot fathom those sorts of temperatures, it kinda freaks me out. Don't you wish you could go back in time to see if that's what it was really like? I do. You don't drive? You don't have a friend that drives? How do you get anywhere? Can't you just hop on a bus and have your headphones on? You could still scream along, but you might also get kicked off Ha ha I personally have never worn PVC I don't think those sorts of clothes would suit me, but then I've never really tried. They look fantastic on some people though ARRRGGHH! I would have bolted all the way home, leaving the people with me to get attacked by witches/aliens/crazy kids!
I am SO FAR from actually being able to do that trip! Haha. I could plead my case to my grandma... she's filthy rich and spoils me, as long as I do something in return (e.g. finish my high school, send my dad a birthday card, etc.) I love Canada, frankly. I've travelled from Coast to Coast, and I proudly think it's the most beautiful place in the world xD. The only thing I hate is WINTER! I want to LIVE Almost Famous. I put on Tiny Dancer and sing along, and wish I had a friend who drove, haha. We'd go on road trips and scream along to the song. I'm full of dribble, so don't worry about it. Shop I used to live above sold all sorts of punky-gothy clothes, alternative crazy stuff. PVC, leather, chains, animal print, you know. The works. Cornfields: Children of the Corn, Signs, etc... I used to live on Manitoulin Island (Google it) and we used to watch horror movies all the time. My friend lived on a corn farm, and it wasn't a far walk home if you went through the fields... we watched five or six horror movies one night and had to walk home through the cornfield and the FOREST, after she shouted after us 'BLAAAAAAAAAAIR WITCH PROJECT!'. Needless to say, panic ensued.
Ha ha you've got that planned! I haven't actually got that organised. But yes, that would take a bucketload of money! So how far off from actually going are you? So how's Canada? I used to have a Canadian penpal in primary school. I wasn't dissing () your opinion, I'm just an opinion ignorer. OMG! I love Almost Famous!!! It is one of my very favourite movies, I'd love to LIVE that movie! I sometimes put on Tiny Dancer and dreeeeeeam! Ok, enough dribble. Ha ha I used to be a huge browser, but now when I go shopping I'm on a tight time budget (I go to Perth to shop) so I'm the same. I actually don't go shopping much at all. My mum takes me shopping and I can't believe I used to be the same, so much stamina, so tiring! Heh, that sounds like an awesome shop! What sort of clothes did they sell? I'd go there just to see the ringmaster, er, owner. I have an overactive imagination, but love horror movies. The one that gets me is Jeepers Creepers, I think because it's in a rural setting and I'm in a rural area *shudders* I'm constantly waiting for the flapping wings. Now, cornfields would be freaky, I don't know how many horror movies I've seen where bad things happen in cornfields. You be careful y'hear!
Haha, the plan is to go from Australia- Cambodia/Thailand/Laos/Vietnam, on to India, skip the crappy bit inbetween India and Africa, go to the SAFE countries in Africa, then onward, up through Europe, back to England, and either stay there or come home xD. Of course... I'm going to need a LOT of money before I can do that. I am in Canada now. *holds hands up in defense* My America opinion is of course, only an opinion. I want to roadtrip through the entire country from coast to coast and listen to Elton John's Tiny Dancer and various classical rock- just like in Almost Famous! <3<3<3 Err. I hate shopping. Well, I love it, but my girlfriends don't appreciate my style- in, target, grab, go. I used to live above this amazing shop in Toronto, our landlord owned the clothing shop beneath us and ran it, and he looked like the ringmaster and the circus, and sounded like it, too. =D I HAVE heard of the Bloody Mary thing, and while not totally superstitious, I get freaked out by horror movies (after I'm done watching, and I'm walking home at three a.m through a lonely cornfield... oh wait, maybe I have a reason to be scared...)
So what is next on the list? That's awesome that you found somewhere that you really love. I need to travel more to find out if where I live is the place I love or to discover it... If that makes sense So where were you in England? And you're in Canada now right? I respect your HUMBLE opinion, but I'm the kind of person that needs to find out that the U.S.A. is the bastard country for myself I'm like that with everything, I listen to people's opinions and then completelt ignore them, people refuse to go shopping with me, I ask for their opinions and then buy the thing that said not to. ME TOO! Except about the doors and the TVs. Though I used to freak myself out over mirrors and windows at night. Have you ever heard of the bloody mary thing? Yeah, I am a loser with too much imagination.
Cowboys... haha. It's kind of like been there, done that, next on the list- I would go back permanently once I'm done all my other travels, though. I fell in love with all of the people I was around and my life there. Plus, being able to foray into London twice a week was pretty awesome! As for America the U.S.A is the bastard country, in my HUMBLE opinion and analysis of their political and social system. I love NYC and L.A, though... xD. I know entirely about the desire to see if things in other places are how you envision them. I hate ordering pizza, or food on the phone, or calling the operator for directions. I don't like the fact that, unlike with e-mail, I can't plot out what I'm going to say. I don't like improvisation. =( I don't like rooms with too many doors, or sitting with my back to doors, etc. I have to cover my T.V screen with a sheet or a towel at night because I find myself looking in the screen at reflections, etc. I don't know what time it was when I sent that anymore. *shrug* I think you're... fourteen hours ahead though. Or something close to that.
Ok, no need to worry about falling in love with pikies, I've been told that I have a thing for cowboys Mine are all self imposed too. It's horrible having the feeling that you need to up and go, but you have so many things holding you back. Holy crap, that IS a big move! I admire you for being able to do that and it sounds like it was worth it too. Would you ever go back? Or is it kind of been there, done that, next on the list? Top of my list is America and Japan. Japan seems so quirky and full of contradictions, I love it! America, because you're bombarded everyday by it: TV shows, music, news, movies. I just want to see if my ideas match up with how it really is, ya know? I CAN'T CALL PEOPLE ON THE PHONE EITHER!! Actually, I used to not even be able to order pizza I am getting better though. Windchimes XD Sorry, I shouldn't laugh. I'm afraid of doors being ajar and hallways... *shivers* Especially when it's dark. That and I could never get undressed in my room because I thought the posters on my walls were watching me Thanks! Me too and you too. When you sent that, it was 10:04am What time is it where you are?
Drool from afar! So far away you need binoculars. ; ) I've got too many shackles now to count, but they're self imposed- my job, my dog, my boyfriend... and etc. I'm sure you understand. Obviously. I posted my resume on www.yardandgroom.com and got a reply from the woman I ended up working for almost immediately. I would have stayed permanently, but I couldn't renew my visa because I wasn't done school, =(. I did go by myself. Just for kicks. I needed to make a big, bold move, and I did. My retarded things... no matter how long I've known someone, I can't call them on the phone or let myself into their house. I'll sit outside for HOURS contemplating what to do. I`m afraid of windchimes . And just, various other retarded, insecure things. You`re great to chat to- normally I`m hesitant and awkward chatting to people, even on the `net, but... whatever. It`s strange to think it`s what, about noon, where you are.
*Double Yay!* Hmmm I see the pikie predicament Now I am confused and if I see any pikies I won't know what to do with myself! To drool or not to drool? I feel the same way, it's something I want to do... And NOW! I have a bit of a shackle though, and I've been wondering for a long time if I should ditch it. Wow, I wouldn't have brave enough to go to a completely different country at sixteen. Did you go by yourself? How did it come about? Photos + Insecurity = Paranoid Me What are your retarded things? It's like we're the same person but not Get out of my head!! I am feeling better overall. I suppose. I think I need some sleep ZzzzZZzzz
*Yay, giggles!* (Okay.. as for being afraid of pikies, I was robbed by ONE and then managed to pick up several at the bar. =/. I mean, really, when you're quite pissed, all you care about is the sexy body of a bare knuckle boxer *both drools and looks ashamed all at once*) Nobody ever tries to tell me I can travel when I'm older- anymore. Haha. I got told that over and over again- when you're older, when you're older, when you're older... I don't see the sense of postponing things. I am going to fill my life with things that I enjoy. That's why I jumped on a chance and went to England. I was only sixteen when I went, and I quit school to go- it was worth it. =( I hate to use the old adage 'never say never' but it's true. Don't get down on yourself, because then you don't BELIEVE, and then you won't go out of your way to find a way to make what you want happen. Hahaaaaaa about your photos: I understand. I do that alllll the time, about retarded things, too. </endramble> (About my blog: my head will NEVER be on straight, lol. I run myself in circles over and over and over again until I've forgotten what I was originally upset about- but by that time, I've found something new to over analyze . Are you feeling any better, despite the jealousy over your cousin's trip? ).
