I leave tomorrow for Bulgaria. My parents are now in Chicago with my sister and I am so tempted to buy a ticket tomorrow at Schipol, get on a plane to the states and never look back. It wouldnt be right, I know that. I am going to have a wonderful time with Katya, Eba and her family, but it wont be Christmas. New Years, however, will be hott. Of ( Read more... )

So its Christmas, that magical time of year to be with your family and friends, eat too much food and then make a resolution to never eat again. Being in a foreign country, I have been a bit lonely lately. The visit with my FG was wonderful, but steadily I have been spending more time with books than people. That all changed when I discovered the ( Read more... )

Officially, I can die happy. Last night K and I went to Oberhausen Germany to see Coldplay, live in concert. It was the best rock concert I have ever been to, and quite possibly one of the best I will ever go to. Chris Martin was on last night. The crowd was crazy and yelling the whole time, the set was great: in essence it was perfect. I bought a ( Read more... )

A creepy rastafarian hit on me during the train ride from Hilversum to Utrecht on Saturday night. He tried to kiss my hand. He spoke no English at all. Then I wandered around S. Utrecht for an hour looking for Katya's apartment. She told me she had a red roof. Now, I am wandering around at 1am... does a red roof do me ANY good? No, niet, nay. ( Read more... )

Its been two weeks since my impromptu journey to the States, and I am beginning to recover from that, the horrible cold that followed, and Mariken and Marc's trip to Rome during which I played mommy for four days. First things first ( Read more... )
