Stuck in Korgo's Valley

[dotinthesky]

I finally spoke to my travel agent this morning. There is a flight available tomorrow from São Paulo to Milan, but nothing free from Milan to London. I asked if I could be put on a waiting list from Milan but he answered that there wasn't enough time - at least not with a flight leaving so soon.

The terrible thing is that the next available flight after tomorrow is on the 12th of April! That means I'll be staying here, at the farm, for two weeks! I need to get back to London, start working, and save money to pay the next rent - I can't stay in Brasil any longer. Plus, I miss Kevin and would like to see him soon.

My mom is now joking that I can make some money by doing hard labour around the farm... har har har. Has she not seen the blue veins that circle my arms?

The travel agent is going to call later and confirm the flight on the 12th of April. I'll see if I can be put on various waiting lists until then and cross my fingers.

P.S. Expect LOTS of comments and posts from me in the coming days. One has to deal with boredom as best as one can.

P.S.S. Any flamewars going on? Any trolls in need of bashing? Let me know.

such troubles, at least you are not in jail!

hard labor is good for the soul, other peoples soul that is!


and thanks for all the kind words over the last month btw!

No problem. That's what LJ friends are there for. :D

Hard labour is obviously my purgatory for the next two weeks... maybe I'll get a good tan and strong biceps out of it.

Can't you make your own way from Milan?

For instance, on Easyjet:

OUTBOUND
Milan Linate to London Gatwick: all flights
Tue 29 March, Wed 30 March, Thu 31 March
€132.49 flight 5286 dep. 16:50, arr. 17:50

At the moment I'm trying to spend the less amount of money possible. I already have to pay 100 U.S. dollars as penalty for missing my flight. :o/

[dawnage.livejournal.com]

I see... But 80 euros is pretty good value. Probably worth it if it saves you a fortnight of no earning!

I called around and the only flight available tomorrow from Milan would cost me 100 pounds. Plus the costs of taking the train from Gatwick or Stanstead... so I've decided to stay here and put myself in tons of waiting lists. The chances of something coming up soon should be good considering I'm only one passenger flying. :)

Or Ryanair, to Stansted

Aw... it's ok. I'm going to use my time here to write and help my mom with her farm. :)

we've only just begun

[beeorkendurkey.livejournal.com]

flamewar has started just moments ago. haven't had one in months and months!
backstory: one day, my friend and i decided that we had to hate a spice girl. we chose baby. decided that she was downright evil. so we began the baby spice demonic origins awareness program aka babykillers. that was when there was the first appearance of this jackass. he's just downright stupid, so playing with him became almost a chore and banning him was easier and one didn't feel their brain changing physical properties and seeping out an ear. we've been free of the little jerk for months now. then he made a new name and spammed the community so bad that i can't read my friends page. he will now pay dearly.

haha! Have just joined! Looks like my type of community. ;)

Re: we've only just begun

[beeorkendurkey.livejournal.com]

it's a quiet community, but when something happens, it's real pretty.
this, however... is totally obnoxious and messed up my friends page unbearably.
it's supposed to be taken care of. i thought i deleted it and marked it as spam, but it's still there. god, i hate him.

Re: we've only just begun

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

He looks endearing.

Re: we've only just begun

[beeorkendurkey.livejournal.com]

It's a clever ploy.

Re: we've only just begun

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Is he always so sullen and silent?

Re: we've only just begun

[beeorkendurkey.livejournal.com]

is he sullen and silent or was his journal just locked tight? i'm still laughing over the fact that he deleted his journal within twenty four hours of all this drama. last time he was such an ASS.

Re: we've only just begun

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I did ask him if he was the guy with the fuzzy mustache. Maybe he got upset with that.
