I'm a traveller; I have itchy feet under any and all circumstances- desires to meet amazing people and find beautiful things to sing about and capture on film are too huge to stay in one place contently at the moment. Its not that the grass is always greener; just it has a slight zing to it.
I am a feminist, I am a socialist in most principles, I am a musician, I am a human, I am a risk-taker, and I teach english for a living.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone with an open mind, Anyone who's not ashamed or afraid to show affection, Anyone who's life I can change, Anyone who can change my life, Anyone who has a nice smile, Anyone who has a nice laugh and who laughs hard at the things that would usually knock any other person down. Anyone nice really...oh and just so you know;
if you kiss somebody, then both of you'll get practice.
note: to all ESL language teachers; if you are contacted by a Mr Hans Hubert regarding any sort of work- IT IS A SCAM! The company NIGER TRAVEL TOURS does not exist, the certificates of incorporation are fake, and DO NOT PAY ANY SUM OF MONEY AT ALL x
thingz are pretty odd here. Everyone is gone, emmi is in New York, Robin is in Poland, Ian is in Cape Cod, and I'm about to leave to meet up with Robin in Poland.
omg!!! im actually on myspace for once (shock horror) and i shall try and get on more!!! mainly coz i havnt spoken to u in so damn long and i miss you too damn much :D ye well thats about all i have to say apart from let me kno when ur back in wales for a bit!!!
Yeah, I know but thats not what I ment. I like spending time with my friends but sometimes I get the impression that they have different ideals to me. So what I want to do isnt their cup of tea.
Video shott was of a band for a music video, my final college thing. Plus Im doing extra stuff to go with it (t-shirts etc).
I havent slept in 3 days now :( I just dont feel human anymore...its stupid.
I wouldnt really call this living lol. All I do is work, eat, sleep etc I see friends yes but it isnt what Id class as living.
Once the routine stuff has gone then I can start the living part :)
I guess everyone has to do the routine stuff once in a while to get to where they want to be. Just takes so long but then once you stop to look back, it feels like time has flown out of the window and you begin to wonder just where it all went.
I guess that once I have escaped this hiddeous cycle of going there doing that and sleeping for no reason at all except I know if I dont do those things then I wont be able to pull out my next deck of cards, things will get better, much better :D
Or at lest thats the plan. Im suppose to be doing a video shoot today but everything is going wrong, Im sure it'll be fine but moving on..
aww bless you :D You know, if you like it so much when your there, its easier to get permission to stay there permanently over here than it is applying over there.
My cousin married a guy over there but she came back here to do the legal paper work for living there as its easier and your more likely to get the papers passed etc .
I envy you right now, you get to go out and explore again and Im still stuck here trying to finnish college work :(
you want to stay over there untill we run out of money? ok, just aslong as we both remember to save enough to get back here :D unless you plan to stay there forever?
we can do your idea of a ye old adventure too! I'm lookinh into cheap flights and stuff plus if I pass driving test, transport over there will be easier and we'll save some money that way.
Im going to check out visa's properly over the next few days. I'll forward it all to you. How long do you fancy the adventure being for? x
I'll send you the Visa info :D and anything else I find. Fancy colorado? and like everywhere else? Im going to download this year! Going to try to pass my driving test soon aswell, will make travelling easier, can hire a car over there then and go mad.
I worked out that I have a month left in college :) bit daunting all of this but should be good. hows life? x
Oh and a horrific music travelling act sound great :D although I think perhaps I should be the human statue or mime and you should play as my talents should be seen and not heard at the present lol. I'm working on the sound but it comes out all screeech :D Its out of tune though so I'll have to buy a violin tuner as I havent developed the skills for automatically tuning it on my own yet.
One month to go and escape! I have download festival to arrange tooo! Are you going? xx
I cant remember either. You can just play the guitar and I'll skreeeech down your street with my terribly painfull violin playing..so mature to say the lest but cheese it shall have to be! (I'll buy wine or something to make it all flow nicely :D) you never know some dogs may howl with me? how was work anyway?
Oh and welcome to my world, lack of sleep is what Ive been getting for the past too many months :s hurts but I'll collapse once Ive finished everything off (that will be in 3 months time probably - everythings going so slow).
why is it when you have other things on your mind that you'd rather be doing, time stops and drags?
can you read music then? how did you learn those? Mines black with no frets. If I pick it up quick enough and play fairly decently by the time I come see you (if I get to come and see you?) we could play together and make cheese violin music! yes?
Thats true. My violin just came :) now to irratate the neighbours by playing outside! I need another bow though, the one that came with the violin is too long for my short arms lol.
your going to new york then woodstock? nice. have a great time :)
Yeah I get what you mean about the pictures and laptop/internet. Although are you sure about leaving your mobile? I see why you'd want to but what if you end up stuck or something? ah well your choice, theres always pay phones I guess :)
Ive read your blogs dear, verry interesting. Let me know how the adventure went when your back and dont forget pictures! Where in america are you going anyway? I wont be setting out just yet (even though Ive got the money to do so) college work will be finished soon. Once Ive handed it all in Im going to make my next move. x
yeah, I havent played in about 5 - 6 years but Im getting one again. At night Im occupied with art stuff and plans that need finalising. Oh my the expenses of being invisable from those who think they know you.
Take care mate x
Oh and if you and some of your chums want to join me on a voyage to the unknown, message me. My next move should be in 2 months time ;D
fair enough ;) Its sunny outside and Im stuck in the house doing college work :( it gets in the way of so many things, even the weather! I should really get a laptop, then I could continue conversations and working in the garden. Violin still hasent appeared :( Im becoming verry impatient oh dear.
hmm..but if you get really close to these people and they find out that your a fake and not who you said you were, they might not want to know you anymore and you will possibly lose some great friends. Hasent that occured to you?
ah, so basically your trying to find out who you are in a way..am I right? Going places will probably change me in different ways but I know who I am and I wont pretend not to be her. x
That question knocked me for six then, puzzled me to say the lest. Im not quite sure what your applying but I'll still be myself, I wont be pretending to be someone Im not.
Explain what you mean in your question please and I'll hopefully be able to give you an answer
oh yes, vanishing down a rabbit hole and re-appearing somewhere else etc etc is just the begining. Mind you Ive always travelled so nothing too shocking there. Im slowly working on my time line (damn college gets in the way). Ive planned to do a mockery job, pass and go! x
aye, tis velvet. This ones the optimistic one. Mainlty for my work. Plus it saves the text's, people can check this to find out where Ive vanished to. x
