I'm currently in the Philippines, after about 4 nights in Hong Kong. It's nice to get away from things at home, when your world is as insular as mine, it's nice to be able to take a total step back from it, to be able to evaluate your world, + your place in it. I'd started to turn into someone I Did Not like, I was constantly bitching about this + that, + about people that really didn't deserve it. I was just taking all my anger + frustration at where my life Wasn't going out on them. Which really, is the definition of "unfair."

So, I've taken the time out + started to re-evaluate things, + myself + such. Although I am a little lonely, + wishing for a little affection, the trip has done, + is doing, me good. Which is always a bonus of a trip halfway across the world to some far flung country!

Mostly, it's making me realise how much I'm missing my friends, + my mom. I've become a real homebody in the past year or two, I don't like being away from people, I miss them all the time, everything reminds me of them. But sometimes, that's not a good thing. I plan, maybe in 2009, to take a trip, about three months long, driving from coast to coast in the States. + I won't have the luxuries I have here [I'm staying with a friend of my Dad's, so I have everything at my fingertips here]. Unless I can bring my two closest friends, I don't know quite how I'd manage a trip away for so long.

I feel strange writing so much here, but then, I can't really imagine where else I might write it.
Have a picture that I rather enjoy of myself, for the distortion that my friends sunglasses have made. I look like a lolly-pop lady [which, for me, is a good thing]
