REAListic optimIST I'm going for the first time this weekend! I am brimming with anticipation and excitement. Who knows what wonders await me? Will I get to ride in a hybrid taxi? 051117 ... falling_alone this trip that we've been planning since christmas that turned into new york instead of disney world, wants to come alive but neither of us seem to have the strength when money poses such a threat. a hostel has been found that seems decent, we know the bus and times, now we need to book it all, to commit. random thoughts that plague her are what to do, but i don't think she understand all we have to do is walk around to become excited. why spend money to do what the tourists do (granted it would be exciting to ride on those tour buses with 2 levels)... 060130 ... awful truth i am here. here i am. this is where i have been heading my whole life. it is.................. 061002 ... coolsoundingme can't wait to have a party when this place, long_island, and westchester sink into the atlantic. first round's on me. easily the worst place i have ever lived. jersey can stay, cause at least it knows it sucks. 070313 ... z i am here now 070313 ... no reason i met some people from there today in amsterdam i told them i was from toronto, and they said "wow, that's a long trip." i didn't really know what to say, because i didn't think it was much longer a trip (if at all) than from new york. one of them said "it's above seattle, right?" and i replied no, it's east, it's in ontario. the other one said "oh, right, that's vancouver. i was getting them mixed up." seems like the canadian version of getting new york and los angeles mixed up. or something. 071114 ... hsg if it was warmer (the all_year_'round king) i think i'd be there. 090409 what's it to you? who go blather from
