I met my old lover on the street last night...
There's not much better in the world than running into old friends with whom you've lost contact. I ran into a friend from college on IM last night with whom I hadn't spoken in a good three years, maybe even four. And we had a good conversation and reminded me of my great desire to travel and do adventurous things while I still can. So, I'm heading back to the states, and I would love to run into old friends, but if I don't any time soon, I hope that all my friends are doing fantastic, wonderful things and that they are loving who they are becoming.
Thinking about travel had me thinking about Wales. I don't know why. And Scotland. And I've decided that the only way to visit these places would be to live there for a few weeks/months. The thought of this is awesome. The reality of this is scary because it would mean either having the funds ahead of time to live in a foreign country or being able to scrap out a living in a place where I would either need a work visa (which is usually specific to job) or illegally make enough to live on. Even this doesn't scare me too much, but I would be afraid to do something like this because I know my parents would be on me all the time to stop it. I wonder how long an american can hang out in Britain without a visa? Wow, I just checked it out online...work program through BUNAC. Really cool. Check it out all you college students looking for a semester work-job in foreign lands.
Okay, I've run out of time. I'll talk more later. Maybe.
