aumentouI'm going on holiday tomorrow. To Carcassonne and the Paris. I get on the coach at 23:45. It still doesnt seem real, despite the wodge of euros and bags and the buying of shorts (there is no reason to own shorts in England).
This is probably a good thing, because frankly getting a coach at midnight for five hours to catch a plane to take me to france so I can fail to speak passable French and end up talking to my grandfather for a week just doesnt seem that hot an idea. Especially since he seems to expect Ruth and by extension this whole generation to sort out all the worlds woes. I might have to explain to him that the US administration is beyond ANYONES control, let alone mine.
I'm thinking of getting a sheet of paper and writing all the phrases I will need on it:
Where is: 1) a toilet 2) the station 3) a bakers 4) a pie shop
I would like: 1) A cheese and tomato baguette 2) A steak pie 3) a cheese and onion pasty
I think that covers it.
The other worrying aspect of this trip is money. This is a cheap holiday because he is paying for our flights (glitterybint is also coming) and we dont have to rent accomodation in Carcassonne. However its still going to be at least 300 quid when all's said and done. Technically I can afford this, but it means I wont be able to buy that bed for a while. Glitterybints response to this has been to threaten to buy a futon.
Incidentally, while I was packing I moved stuff around and came up with a better layout for my room. Now we will have to have a party when we move back in so you can all see it.
Okay, I admit it, I just want to get everyone stupidly pissed so we all just lie there watching the pretty coloured mirrorball while listening to this thats on now.
Also today, apparently all my cynicism has just dried up and vanished. Or something:
You represent... naivete.
So innocent and trusting... you can be very shy at
times, but it's only because you're not sure
how to act. You give off that "I need to
be protected vibe." Remember that not all
people are good. Being too trusting will get
you easily hurt.
What feeling do you represent?

I was hoping for apathy.
