I got a new car :D



Say hello to my baby. 2009 Nissan Versa. Eeee!

So, yes, I haven't posted in awhile. I'm just going to go ahead and blame work, school, and finals, but I've been shamed into posting while I have time in the library. You win, [Unknown LJ tag]!

So, finals have kicked my ass. Memorizing sources and going into the exams not knowing what will be asked - Harry Potter did not prepare me for this! However, the panic has ebbed and I feel decent about how I've done. All I want are B+s or A-s. If I get that, I'll be happy.

My father and grandmother are visiting in two days. Good God, how am I going to handle that and my Neuropsych final? Send good thoughts my way, friends, send good thoughts.

Went and visited Nara and her mother last week. Seeing Nara was fun and we had a really good time, except for a certain aspect of the trip, which I'm not going to rant about, because it'd be rude to bag on somebody's family in a public journal. But Ben made up for it. Oh, Ben. Our love is one which dare not speak it's name.

So, I know that some of you haven't yet recieved post cards I've promised, but fear not. I've decided not to send the postcards until I'm in mainland Europe in a few weeks, mostly because I want to try and send the postcards from the places they come from. I promise that all of them will be sent out by the time I leave Europe, even if I have to forgo gellato to do it!

So, yes, planning another jaunt around Europe in a few weeks with my mother. We'll be going to Paris, Cinque Terre (staying in Manarola), Florence, Rome, Venice, and Munich. So, if there are any last postcards that you want, hit me up and let me know.

I must say, I am looking forward to getting back to California. I miss the climate, I miss the food, I miss the people. I've grown to love Swansea very much, but it will never compare to home, and I'm glad to be going back. I'm thinking I'll be getting a bartending job back in the states, but definitely never in a club again - good God, never in a club again. It's been all sorts of drama and stress and blech. They're keeping our tips, now, because somebody has been stealing from the tills or giving back incorrect change. Which sucks. And I'm not sure it's quite legal. Any of my lawyer-y friends want to weigh in on that?

In further news - my computer has crashed. Crashed and burned and turned to dust. It lights up, but the hard drive doesn't spin. Luckily, this has been a long time coming, so I've backed up all my travel pictures and all my travel journal entries. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to back up the last few episodes of Supernatural and The Office, but I figure I'll just get them back once I return to the states and my computer is fixed.

Currently stressing about finances and travel, but hey, that's life, right? Saw both Indiana Jones and Sex and the City. Loved one, was ambivilant about the other, and you've probably guessed correctly on which is which. I know a lot of people are disappointed with Indy, but I thought it was fantastic. Corny, and fun, and just plain good cinematic candy. Sex and the City was...formulatic, I suppose? Eh. Never watched the show, the endless quipping was tiresome, but some of the outfits were amaaaazing. And some were sheer horror.

So yes, there is my life for the past month or two I haven't posted. Ta-da!

The teaser trailer is finally out :D

SO EXCITED.

HI EVERYONE! WALES WON AGAINST ENGLAND AND I AM EATING A CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE MADE OF CHOCOLATE TO CELEBRATE LOLOLOL!

I am now 21 years old. Huh.

Time for another round of the postcard game! If you need a refresher on how to play, refer to this post here.

I have two postcards to give out, so away we go!



- Crowns

- Golems

So, where in the world was Alyssa Noel Markham? Salzburg, Austria - birthplace of Mozart and filming location for The Sound of Music! Congratulations to luthienofold for her correct answer!



( Beautiful views and finding Narnia )

( Finding Mozart, Christmas markets, and another Residenz )

Time for another round of the postcard game! If you need a refresher on how to play, refer to this post here.

Well, I have one postcard available to send! Let's do this thing!



Hints:

- A Wolfgang was born here
- Are these hills alive? It's a Trapp!

All comments are screened.

This took awhile. No excuse other than I was very lazy.

So, where in the world is Alyssa Noel Markham? Munich, Germany! Congrats to luthienofold on her correct answer! Still need your address, honey!



( Arriving and the walking tour (Marienplatz, Frauenkirche, Glockenspiel, Third Reich sights) )

( The Residence and Haufbrauhaus - including men in lederhosen! )

( Dachau - Hitler's first concentration camp )

Yeah, it really is as pathetic as it seems. My mother, brother, and I are all sitting around video chatting. Except, they decided to watch a show while we were chatting. So, we all sort of sat there, occasionally asking questions or making comments.

And for added LOLs, I'm not even watching anything in that picture. I'm just looking off to the side so my picture matches my brother and mother's. Sad, huh?
