To those who didn’t understand that first bit– congratulations! You’re probably here because I told you this was where my updates from England would be so I wouldn’t have to send a huge communal e-mail with loads of pictures to clog your inbox, I have a revolting amount of space on this domain, I can post all the pictures I like. And so I shall. Also, I can get the forum functioning enough that people can join there to talk to me as well… replies may take longer, but at least I won’t be on at 5AM your time.

Trip prep is a huge drag, and I’ve been quite the little insomniac lately. As you can see by the handy time stamp on this entry. I still have a lot to do but am too tired to actually do it. I just want to get the heck out of here, is that so hard to understand? Alas, I still have to do “practical” things — like pack! I blame the un-packing on the luggage my parents got me… in TAUPE. Half the walls in my house are taupe, I loathe taupe, taupe implies ‘I ran out of all the attractive colours, so I took all the leftovers and mixed them into one vomitfest.’ Taupe is lame, I’m exchanging it for black. I don’t care if everyone has black luggage, at least my bag won’t look like throwup.
