There are moments when I wish the world would just stop for me. Just stop, so when I came home, things would be as I remembered. Then there are other days when I know that people will have changed in different ways, or maybe it will feel as if they haven't changed a bit. No matter what, I think of it now, and I know that when I come home I am bound ( Read more... )

Hey everyone! I am currently in Budapest, Hungary right now, with a silly Hungarian keyboard (the z and the y are switched, and the numbers go 0123456789öüó, I cannot find the apostrophe and thus cannot make contractions, and the punctuation is wonky). Anyway, I just wanted to check in, to inform all that Budapest is lovely (but cold!). Barcelona ( Read more... )

All right, so I've been a slack at posting. We still don't have internet at the residence, so I'm using the internet at the study center. Talk about a pain in the butt. To that end, if you call me on Skype, I'll get it on my cell phone? So call away people, but let's keep it short, because my phone credits always run out fast ( Read more... )

As I've been in Rome and all about Italy, I've started drawing again. I've been having a lot of fun, and I realized I had some outstanding fandom commitments that I still haven't fulfilled. That didn't stop me from signing up for hp_tarot, which is bringing together artists and writers to put together a full tarot deck in time for the end of March (it's ( Read more... )

I am sitting at the computer at my hostel in Florence, wondering what the hell happened. I am here early, and I am meeting my parents tomorrow, hopefully at the train station. If not, I will track them down. Or, I will sit in the bloody lobby of their hotel for God knows how long. Let us pray I find them at the train station. Got lost in Venice. ( Read more... )

Every day I walk through the heart of Rome, past the Vatican, past Saint Peter's. I'm really here. There's no denying it. I am in Rome, and I love it, yet at times, I feel incredibly lost. Like I'm missing out on something, like there's is not and will never be enough time. At the moment, I'm attempting to plan a side trip for my weeklong break, ( Read more... )

Ciao tutti! I got into Fiumicino Airport on Wednesday evening. I was supposed to get there in the afternoon. It was dramatic, but I'm here, in Rome, and I'm loving it. :)

I want to make a big post about all that I've done so far, but I would never be able to remember it all. I actually wanted to know, did anybody wanted a postcard from Vatican ( Read more... )

I am one day closer to leaving. My flight is on Tuesday. I need to finalize the reservation. I must make photocopies. I'm not packed. This is all going by far too fast, and I'm scared out of my mind. I don't feel like I can move, yet I know I must. My parents are treating me as if this is just another one of my procrastinating schemes, and that ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, Olivia! ... aka iliveforthis.

I hope that 19 far exceeds your expectations.

Less than two weeks. I am scared shitless. Well ... maybe not, but it feels as if things are just changing far too fast. Saw The Light In The Piazza yesterday afternoon. It was adorable. I went with my cousin Becky. And now I have to go to work. Ciao!
