Did I ever show you a picture of my latest tattoo? I got it back in late August/early September to celebrate the trip to New Zealand. It’s an earth from the view point of the southern hemisphere, with Latin underneath translating to, “prepared for all things“. It was an optimistic gift to myself that everything [...]

Here we are! Safe & sound in LA! For the next couple days, Kyle & I will be staying with my friend Noel & his boyfriend Daniel. I can’t even begin to express how welcoming they have been, making us feel right at home. Noel is probably one of my favorite people EVER, though I rarely get to see him. [...] This was the week! At last off Kyle and I went to begin our adventure. Monday morning Kyle’s dad generously took us to JFK Airport. It’s funny. Growing up, my Granny & Grandpa lived to close to it and literally every few minutes a plane would zoom by. Granny would always mention it and something along the [...] My mom loves talking to strangers. For as long as I can remember, anytime she went out would later come home with stories about the nicest woman/man/young adult she met on the bus/train/plane/line at A&P and how they had the loveliest conversation. In addition, these people always ended up being just like her, and together they would bask [...] One of the things I dislike to do the most in life is giving two weeks notice at a job. There is no un-awkward way of going about it. I have quit three jobs in my life and only one time was it peaceful and well expected. After I graduated college, it took me about five months to find a job [...] For the past two weeks, I have been filled with anxiety on whether or not I would receive a work visa for New Zealand. Naturally. No visa = a new game plan, which I wasn’t too sure I wanted. No visa also meant no chance in settling for a bit. I would always have to [...] After reading my sad depressing blog from yesterday, I feel the need to make up for it. Yes, I was sad yesterday; all day in fact. Not only was it devastating to think that my past actions could potentially have the power to end my trip, but the emotions of the actual DUI came back up [...] Last night I began to fill out my work visa for New Zealand. Each page completed filled me with joy, thinking about how quickly time has been moving along and that really, we’ll be there in no time. Then I got to questions D1 – D2. “Have you ever been convicted of a crime?” In most cases, people automatically answer [...] My brother just sent me this link: http://www.visionofhumanity.org/gpi/home.php According to the Global Peace Index, New Zealand is the most peaceful place in the world! Hurray! An article announcing the roster said, “Americans pining for a peaceful existence might consider moving to New Zealand, the most peaceful nation on Earth, according to the 2009 Global Peace Index released [...] Having done the commuting lifestyle now for almost a month, I am finally beginning to get into the swing of things. Don’t get that confused with being fine, but I haven’t woken up startled to where I am or why I am up an hour earlier than usual lately. But…. the past two week have been very [...] |
