Places I want to go

HEY!!!

This is just a little blog about places I'd like to see.

San Francisco- I just think it looks like a really cool, fun place to be. Plus I love their little Japantown. Tell me that's not beautiful, right?

Salem, Mass.- For obvious reasons, I want to see this place. I'd probably want to see the Witch Museum and the old cemetery if possible.

London- This is also somewhere I want to go that sounds really fun. I also think a lot of it is probably really pretty, Hyde Park; for example.

Those are the 3 main places I've been wanting to go to, besides Japan and Egypt, and these places (at least the 2 that are actually located in the U.S.) should be much easier on my wallet. I keep telling myself that none of this should be too difficult, and I want to go on a trip totally on my own for once. Luckily, no one I know wants to go to San Francisco or Salem, so I WOULD be totally on my own. ^_^ I know it's probably not fair to my family to say that, but I DO need some time to myself, and I want to do this before I'm either married and have kids, or I'm too old and weak to do it. Not that I see myself being married with children any time soon, although I totally have a guy I want to be my boyfriend. He and I were talking just yesterday about our respective experencies in music class, and how awesome our teacher was. Every once in a while we'll have these moments where I actually feel we connect, and are just a guy and a girl talking, not gorgeous store clerk and crushing customer. They call that kismet, right? I was so stupidly happy to see him, and he actually started chatting willingly, and smiled at me with that smile of his that melts me every time. Okay, I guess that's enough about that for right now. BYE!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to where time stands still, where no one leaves and no one will.....

That little quote kind of captures how I feel about where I live sometimes. I've lived here about 15 years now, and sometimes it feels like I'll never be able to go anywhere else. I don't totally hate it here, though there's a city about 8 miles away I like a lot better. How lame is that? My favorite city in the world has to be Kyoto, though. I have a picture almost exactly like this one above my bed that I took at Kinkakuji, which is where this was taken. My sister and I were actually talking and laughing and enjoying each others' company for once when we went there, so that makes it a little more special for me. I think I should have a "song of the day" thing on my blog, if only because it amuses me. I think for today it'll be " On the arrow" by AFI, just because it's beautiful and kind of melancholic, and I feel fairly full of melancholy today. I just kept playing that song today, I have a weird tendency to do that though, it usually ends up making me feel better. I'm really looking forward to the new Rise Against album whenever it finally comes out, they're probably my favorite Punk band ever, and I love what they do. I've gotten my youngest brother to like them too, I think it's kind of funny how much I've influenced his musical tastes. I've gotten to like Slipknot, A Perfect Circle, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Cure. He's become a little goth by association, but I don't think he really minds. I hope he doesn't mind the influence I have over him, at least. I think we ususally have a lot of fun together, and he always makes me me laugh. I like to think at least that we have a good relationship, especially because I've taken care of him so much. I guess that's it for right now. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God, I want to go back to Japan

I was looking through my stacks of pictures from Japan and thinking about how amazing it was just being there. Obviously, I want to go back again...hence this post's title. I mean, look at this place. My sister and I went on a day when it was puring rain, crowded beyond all reason, and it was still one of the best days ever for me. This and losing 60 pounds are probably the only truly amazing things I've done in my life. I was kind of scared when we got there, but I still had so much fun. I've been thinking a lot too, about stuff that I still want to do, and going for a more extended trip to Japan is totally at the top of that list. I've also been dying to go to Egypt since I was about 10, but I just don't see that happening any time soon. I've decided that I don't care if I work kind of a crappy job and don't have as much as other people, as long as it affords me the means and freedom to do whatever else I want. I kind of wish it were all so easy, just say what I want, and get it. I guess that's really all there is for right now. Thanks for reading.
