one lao person bombarded with 8 luxembourgish people? what are the odds???
none of which are actual native luxembourgish (1 german, 1 estonian, 2 parisians, 2 marseillians (?), and 2 slovakians.
but it was loads of fun and I'M SO DAMN TIRED.
maybe i'll give a more detailed version of the past few weeks...but suffice to say--there was a lot of walking, drinking, eating, talking, watching, touring, shopping, and other things!
loved every minute of it--but so glad to sleep tonight.
my turn next!
so my plan is to visit france/germany/estonia/2 days in luxembourg. i'll have to plan it abit better/more indepth about where to land/leave from, etc. but it should be great!
i reapplied for a new passport a few weeks ago--my 2 houseguests left today--and my new book arrives tomorrow!
pretty incredible timing. i think it's a sign that i really need to go.
september--europe--here i come!!
it works well monetarily too. whenever you play host to visitors for any extended period of time--your money takes a vacation too--as in--you spend like you're on vacation! so i have definitely been spending!
so i'm going to take the next few weeks to be a little more careful with my money.
anyhow. i'm tired and have to do some extensive cleaning/laundry/etc. today and tomorrow. i'll find the time to post some pictures!

soooo....
worn out. i'm just...worn out.
it's probably a combination of zyrtec, emotional frazzlement, work kicking into high gear, travel, and heat. but whatever combination it's from--it exists.
i need to rest, but work has gotten busier and friends are coming to visit this friday--which, don't get me wrong--i'm completely excited for--but it also means less rest--and all i want is maybe 3 solid days of sleep, recovery, and recuperation. i had the apartment all to myself this past weekend--which was GREAT. but weekends never last long enough. no surprise. it didn't this time either.
sometimes you make these tough life decisions--you know? the ones that tell you, "welcome to adulthood." and for better or for worse...what's done is done. and what's been done cannot be undone...cause you can't go back in the past. you can only move forward. and i'm not the type of person that has liked to dwell on the past much--i like forward. i like movement. i like hope. and i'm fascinated by faith. all these words tell me future. i guess i'm a bit of a stargazer. and that's the side of me that's romantic. that's why i love those sci-fi/futuristic/fantasy movies/epic compositions type stuff. it harkons of things..events...that...
could be. maybe should be. . . hopefully will be.
here's hoping.

question: what do you do if you've fucked up.
answer: do the following steps IN ORDER IMMEDIATELY.
1. admit, sincerely, that you fucked up, to yourself and to the other person/thing.
2. acknowledge specifically what it is you did wrong.
3. apologize profusely until they accept it.
4. repeat as necessary.
unless you killed someone i can't see how this fails. here's to future happinesses and all that jazz...

did i mention i gazed upon my lover's countenance?
well i did. jon stewart's. :)
that said, my birthday is fast approaching and abram is visiting! yay! it's a nice little pseudo-tradition. we've spent our birthdays together a few times (his is the 11th--mine the 15th). it'll be loads of fun. i'm so excited to finally have a guest/friend come out when i'm more settled here in my new surroundings! my antonio came out when i just moved out and was living with crazy old pothead lady and i felt bad for not knowing more! so this time--should be much smoother! i know my way around, i know good places to visit, eat, hang out, etc. and i'm feeling much more social these days. work has settled down somewhat and i'm just more centered these days. cause...
life is good.
just came back from shabu with joy and a few of her socialworker friends. it was a good meal. i wish i hadn't had such a late lunch--i'd have been wanting it more.
i feel like there was something else i was going to blog about--but i can't remember. oh well.
start of a new goal cycle--all over again--big, fat, zeroes across the board. i hate that. but--i should get my variable compensation next wednesday for 2 goal cycles. exciting--but i'm pretty darn sure i will lose half of it to taxes. not so yay.
