So the big news round these parts is that come September, me and The Dude are going to split for a few months to drink from the cultural vanilla thickshake that is North America, & then when winter comes we plan to get frostbite in Europe & after that it's on the cards that we'll get our frost unbitten in the sweaty climes of Asia. So basically the World is our Oyster, etc, except I don't eat Oysters so I guess the World is my Tofu-based Meat Substitute.
Even though I am aged and worldly (not only did I grow up in the hotbed of sin and sophistication that is Country Victoria, I have also travelled widely, like in my time I've seen the sights of everywhere from Geelong to Colac, and once I even visited Pascoe Vale South[FOR REALS, I AM TOTALLY NOT EXAGGERATING HERE])...anyway even DESPITE all this aged worldliness, I am quite excited.
I know many of you will be asking "why the fuck would she bother going anywhere else when she's currently enjoying the sweet life just 10 minutes walk away from all the delirious delights that Northcote Plaza has to offer, god that mister nora is a stupid fucking cuntbag" and so on, and I do see your point. However EVEN THOUGH I am clearly living in the Closest Thing to Heaven on Earth (if by "Heaven" you mean "Thornbury" and/or "Clifton Hill") I still fancy the idea of broadening my horizons, if only so I can visit shit like the Getty Centre in LA and go "Yeah like it's okay for what it is, I guess, but it's no Doncaster Shoppingtown." Absence makes the heart grow abscesses, or whatever.
What was the point of this? Oh yes.
HOW AM I EXPECTED TO STUDY WHEN I HAVE KRISPY KREME DONUTS/ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER/KUM N GO PETROL STATIONS/BAGUETTES/THE POPE/COMEDIC GERMAN ACCENTS/COCONUT BASED DISHES/CHILD PROSTITUTES/POTENTIAL EARLY DEATH IN TERRORIST PLANE HIJACKINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO?
I AM SQUIRMING WITH EXCITEMENT LIKE A BAG OF ANTS.
CAN I PLEASE NOW DROP OUT OF MY LAW DEGREE NOW PLEASE, THAT WOULD BE SUPER.
KTHNXBYE.

OMG if you lived in Colac did you know the Timminses??!?!?!
haha
cool blog dude
how long is this trip going to take??
i did the same one in the summer uni break, so there's no need to drop out of your law degree. unless of course you want to
which i can totally understand
i've been meaning to drop out of my engineering degree for four years now...
Audrey: I totally used to date Dylan Timmins back in '97; sure he was a bit underaged but I've always liked em young. And ripped.
Kiki: I'm 6 days away from finishing my law degree; barring some kind of massive psychotic reaction to footnotes/latin usage etc I guess I can probably hold out til then.
As for the trip...I will be flitting about intercontinentally (nb hopefully not incontinently) until January.
