a bit more about my vacation

Australians are so much fun! Especially with their adorable accents and the phrases they use.

More Vacation Adventures

I am a pro at scoring free alcohol. I don’t really know what it is but I don’t dress in a way that draws attention more than any other girl on a night out. I don’t really know how to flirt. I am absolutely terrible with holding alcohol down. But every night that I’ve gone out someone has offered to buy me drinks. Last night was the epitome though, with a table of guys sending over drinks for me and my table then asking me to sit with them. I need to go on vacation more.

Vacation adventures

Made out with someone born in the 90s. Enough said.

peace out

I’ll be travelling for the next little while, so the posts will probably be sporadic at best. I’m sure I’ll have much to update with afterwards because it is a big group trip with quite a few interesting characters. I’ve already decided that any itches I have will be scratched. Just need to find a partner to tango with, but that should easily enough considering I’ll be out with some of the best wing women out there!

my favourite love story

Up by Pixar.  My best friends are getting married to each other, and part of my would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little bit jealous. I know I’m not particularly drawn to marriage, but the idea of marrying and spending the rest of your life with your best friend does sound appealing at times. 

12 hours of sleep in the last 72 hours

I’ve discovered that I can sleep in odd 3 hours chunks to maximize studying time. I may or may not feel a bit like death right now but it’ll all be over in a few short hours.

a very important date!

This Thursday I will officially be done with university, after 8 long years! It doesn’t seem that long ago that I was just starting, but when I see where my friends have diverged I can safely say 8 years is a significant amount of time. Some have kids, some collect degrees, some still live at home, some are divorced, some I have lost touch with.

8 years ago I was such a different person, I had never really dated, never been with a guy, and was painfully naive on what I thought relationships were. I figure I will indulge you guys will some of my misconceptions so we can laugh and agree that I’ve come a long way.

1. I used to think I would be a virgin on my wedding day.

2. The thought of sex really scared me, thank you religious teachings (not)

3. I wholeheartedly believed that if/when I got married I would never get divorced. I would rather be miserable than to shatter the image I wanted to show to the world.

4. I held in a lot of my “passion” because I thought guys like girls that were nice and delicate. I’ve come to realize that is not me because I can be vulgar, crass, and annoying.

5. I imagined that being in a relationship would in some way complete me, or at least some sign from the universe would show me when I had met “the one”. I on longer believe there is such a thing as “the one”, it’s just what you make of it

6. I had no gay friends, and was always confused as to why it was a sin.

7. I believed porn was the enemy of all relationships. Now I can safely say non-communication and unmatched expectations are the true relationship killers.

8. I seriously thought I was an ugly duckling, and sometimes that still rears its ugly head. There’s something to be said about growing up being picked on because of certain physical traits that still haunt me today.

9. I thought being single forever was the end of the world, once again I blame religious indoctrination.
