I’m likely to write here and there about 麻花豆传媒剧国产免费mv豆丁网. 🙂 You’re likely to see a few posts elsewhere about 麻花豆传媒剧国产免费mv豆丁网. Here’s my story.
In 麻花豆传媒剧国产免费mv豆丁网, I am flying with my brand new passport, a few Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and a few other things, to London. “So excited” doesn’t even begin to cover it.
I am meeting my boyfriend and my best friend and her boyfriend. It is 6 weeks away! We know this because we keep tickers and keep looking at the calendar. 🙂 We are already discussing details, like the American pancake feed and belgian beer (not together, of course).. the Tower of London and concrete cows (ok. I’m not allowed to discuss the cows. Shhh..) I’m shopping for cordless hair tongs (curling iron) and multi-voltage hair dryers and making a mental list of what not to forget in my suitcase.
I’ve looked at airplanes and packing rules and talked to people who’ve made this trip themselves.
I’m looking forward to meeting these people who mean quite a bit to me. Gem and I have been friends for nearly 5 years, business partners, confidants. When I precursor something with, “I have something quite odd/embarassing/private to ask/tell you..”, she says, “Pah! Was that all?”. We’ve been through a lot, even by remote. She bothers to find out where I am if I’ve not sent email recently, and the same goes for her. “Just checking in. What’s up with you today? Put the axe down… that spider is not THAT big!” 🙂
I frequently refer to her as my sister. I don’t think there’s one thing I could not trust her with, and vice versa.
Fletch been around for a couple of years, taunting me with fun factoids about how wonderful Americans are. He takes good care of my best friend (and vice versa), so even though he’s so terribly fond of America (and sometimes England), he’s alright in my book.
Ian… I have SO MUCH to say about Ian. :)) This man keeps me laughing and talking for 5 hours on Skype (it’s our record. It MUST be advertised…) Sometimes, he will sit patiently and listen to me and at the end say, “Why is that?” or “How do you feel about that?” or explain his views or experience in a very diplomatic, caring and understandable way. His voice calms me. His view of life and people and the world impresses me and really… enlightens me. He takes great care, even 3,500+ miles away, to ensure I know that his focus is on me. He translates our different forms of “English” into “English”.
We share common interests… computer programmer/techie meets the tech/hardware support girl. We both know where the Internet is. We both love to write and cook, listen to music, have philosophical discussions (:P), and take long walks at the beach, and, soon, amongst the concrete… cows. He sings and plays the ukelele and writes poetry, and he’s mine. I love him. It’s no secret.
So that’s pretty much my story… it’s a good one, and I’m very excited about today and the future… and 麻花豆传媒剧国产免费mv豆丁网. 🙂
Pah! was that all! ;o)
Ohhhh….I’m so so so excited, I’m betting even the concrete cows are excited!
How long does 6 weeks take to pass???…how many days, hours, minutes, seconds???….I can’t wait!!!
Don’t forget the spider axe! ;o)
