No. I've "banished" words from my journal.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

There are so many of these I want to comment on. Well, first of all, I think it's a shame you banished words from your journal! Don't disappear... I love your journal.

In terms of travelling (hanging out), is there any country you feel like visiting one day?

I I I.

[sjaal.livejournal.com]

Definitely not! I just hope that it'll push me to draw/paint/take more pictures. Plus, whenever I write it veers (unintentionally) to that Woe is Me area. It's a bit exhausting, I think.

Oh, yes of course! I haven't been out of Texas in eleven years and I'm ready to go somewhere. But I often romanticize so it won't be at all surprising if I return let down. There's...Norway, France, Australia, Brazil (I'd like to see Cristo Redentor), Sweden (Ice hotel!), Denmark (Hotel fox! I don't even like hotels what's going on?) and London. I'd try my hardest to stay away (for the most part) from the actual tourist areas.

I want to learn (at least a little of) the official languages (don't want to be the awful 'God, speak English!' tourist) before I even attempt to go. And I'd have to have money. And get over my fear of planes and hotels (this has everything to do with a report on what they found on walls/carpets/beds in the snazziest of hotels. I was nine and haven't been in one since hahaha). It will take awhile.

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

If I, hypothetically speaking, were to possibly spend any amount of time in London, hypothetically speaking, would you be able to help me find housing of some sort? Hypothetically speaking, of course.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I think I could! It depends how much you are willing to spend, but I know a few people at the moment looking for housemates/someone to rent their room because they are moving out. :-)

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

Ah, it won't happen any time soon, if it happens at all. Just sowing seeds in case it does. God, I don't think I could spend much, though. The exchange rate is terrible! I have to visit first, anyway.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Well, if you are just visiting then you know you can stay with us. :-)

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

Wonderful, thanks! It would/will be nice to see you and spend more time with you guys.
