William Miller: I have to go home.
Penny Lane: You are home.

Making plans... or not. Mostly, just strategically considering how I can work for nine months and then take more time off, and figuring out how long I actually want to spend apart from R. I tell myself that if it's a last ditch thing, if I decide differently while away, I can just cash in the ticket home and wait it out. That nothing is ever really that decided.

Ideas. Present Location to YYZ to NBO - Kenya (overland) then CPT - SA to JFK
Duration: early June to late September

So this weekend I'm going to a GIRL PARTY and feeling some trepidation about it. As in, we spend the afternoon getting our makeup done then drink umbrella drinks and then go to the casino. With my closer friends, this would be a recipe for excellence but when I envision the possibilities with the guest list my face starts to itch. There will be all kinds of conversation about our respective romantic lives. There will be little appreciation for the hilarious, and no possiblity of really embracing the random. Someone's boyfriend/husband will get overly drunk and gamble too much. Someone will cry. I will probably have to flask it in my purse like a 1950's housewife. Oh, the trials.
