Look! a blog...is that a noun?

Hi dearest readers, I know it's been a dark and dreary world out there without my blog posts. No worries, life is turning around, because it's exam time which means.....Time to procrastinate!! So Cheer up emo kid, sit back, and listen to me ramble.

1. When does copying turn from the highest form of a compliment to feeling like a theft of what makes you unique and special? It seems like sometimes the things that you feel like you bring for a friendship or that you introduce to your dearest and most loved are so quickly taken from you and leaving you wonder...now what do I have to offer the world?? It's fun to share things you love with others and have common interested, but when it's taken from you, it makes you feel robbed. That's no fun.

2. I love music. LOVE! And I've been lucky this semester to get to see lots of good music and for it to continue indefinitely as move in with le boyfran (imagine a really bad french accent, it's how I refer to him), which might be the second most exciting thing in my life right now (the music, not the boyfran, he doesn't count in this list because I'm not one of those girls.....ooo which should be a whole different post next time I procrastinate, and if I was a good blogger I would link the two like Ashley does in her blogs...she's my idol) So the music, is the second most exciting thing happening right now. (First can be found below....if i keep up my energy)

Below I have linked a you tube video of my good friend Langhorne Slim because I love this song. Even though I got in a fight with him for not playing it when I went to see him in concert. Afterward I demanded he get back on stage and sing it just for me. That didn't work out so well. But I got a picture!It's no Ashley B, but...woo hoo! Oo and notice the sweet tye dye dress!

Lets hope that ends up a Youtube video, I've never done that before.

3. Traveling!! I am taking the next 8 months off to spend my life savings and this is VERY exciting. I will be traveling to:
-Thailand to visit Most Fun Petra! We will travel together eating street food, hiking to waterfalls and enjoying life for a few weeks
-New Zealand where I will travel alone and work on my accent and look for Frodo and the Ring.
-Japan to visit Aly and meet up with le boyfran where we will go on exotic adventures and learn how to samurai sword fight
-Puerto Rico for all inclusive resorts and beach side bliss (one trip with le boyfran and one with the best alcoholic friends you can find (Emma, Matt, Reece and Aaron)
-Miami for fun and celebrity sightings
-Alaska to chill (HAHAHAH, PUNY) with Sarah Palin.....KIDDING. I will be doing volunteer work with my precious parents. Basically ruining their first ever vacation along without kids. hahaha, they thought they could escape us that easily?!

Ok so that's it, I'll be broke as my jokes at that point and ready to start work (bleh!). I really wanted to go to South America and do some volunteer and adventure travel tours, but I don't know if the time will be made or the money available, so we will see. But I am just so excited about going out on a limb and traveling to places I might never see again, and expanding my horizons through traveling alone. I look forward to the interesting characters I will meet and the memories I will make (that hopefully I will remember. Maybe I should write them down..).

I went on my travel consultation today and was freaked out with how many vaccinations I had to get (apparently my vaccination history was 'sparse'). I got 3 shots for for round ONE! Jeez....

Happy Holidays!
