Random post to end a year of randomness

[tracy_loo_who]

1. Why so fugly, LJ? The changes have fucked up my layout too. :|



2. All my life I've written French guys off as being overrated. Now I am nursing a mildly pathetic crush on one after having spent last weekend with him and lallipoo in Paris. FML. On the bright side, at least he's not actually Parisian. And he's only half French.



3. History lesson of the day! I texted my friend (who is from Rio): Marcus, why is your city called the River of January?
   
   Marcus: Bcs portuguese arrived or founded it in jan and when they saw the bay they thought it was a river or at that time the words for bay and river were the same. Since they were pt i think that they thought it was a river lol



4. Also I attempted to quit my job. The conversation took place in the break room and went something like so:
   
   Me: So, after the snowboard trip at the end of Jan I'm gonna go to India.
   Boss: India, really?
   Me: Yeah, I've always wanted to go to India and this seems like a good time...
   Boss: *drops something on the floor and goes to retrieve it*
   Me: ...since my friend is getting married there.
   Boss: Did you know, this colleage of ours vacationed in India once. I think he went by himself.
   A different colleague: *joins our table* He has a girlfriend now.
   THEN THEY GOSSIP ABOUT THIS GUY'S LOVE LIFE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. Until we are joined by several other people.
   Me: fml.
   
   Later I made my boss understand that by "going to India" I meant I'm not coming back and he got sad and asked me to consider taking a leave of absence, aww. ♥



5. Thus far I have an Indian visa and tickets to Austria, Milan, Cairo, Abu Dhabi, and Chennai. After my friend's wedding in Chennai I guess I'll travel around India for a few weeks before heading to China/Tibet. Thennn I am contemplating Nepal, Turkey/Greece, Serbia, Italy again, Brazil, Peru... etc. But don't know yet and am open to suggestions! TELL ME WHERE I SHOULD GO. :D



6. Have a most excellent holiday week and EAT ALL THE THINGS. I miss you guys. ♥

He is Brazilian, you must forgive him, sorry!

You should go to Turkey and stay in Cappadocia (http://www.easyvoyage.co.uk/turkey/cappadocia-3452/from-another-planet) because it looks amazing.

[strangeandcharm.livejournal.com]

Oh, and by the way, most of us do not need encouragement to EAT ALL THE THINGS, but thank you regardless.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

They look like mushrooms, heee. I will definitely keep it in mind! :D

ETA: I sent this link to Teh Turk and he says he will fit it into whatever plan he has for our travels around the country! There is also a cool cotton palace he linked me to: http://www.easyvoyage.co.uk/turkey/pamukkale-3453/cotton-castle

1. Good ref post: http://raemia.livejournal.com/18347.html

HAVE FUN!!! :D Sounds amazeballs.

I am eating cookies for dinner, so this holiday is already starting out really well. :D

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I am not enraged by the changes, just disgruntled. But it is pretty ridiculous!

Haha I'm not too far off, had some Brazilian fast food for dinner. Hope there is better food in your near future!

Wait, you have tickets to Austria, Milan, Cairo, Abu Dhabi, and Chennai? fml. How are you paying for that! Also, tell me your travel schedule.

ALSO, we are going to Tibet in March so maybe not fml!!!!

[tracy.livejournal.com]

I have some money saved up, luckily.

Jan 28 - Feb 5: Innsbruck, Austria
Feb 7: Milan
Feb 8 - Feb 10: Cairo
Feb 10: Abu Dhabi
Feb 11 - ?: India!

YES I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT TIBET. \O/ But started filling out my visa application form today and they need flight reservations beforehand and I don't know when or where I want to fly in from or out to, sighhh.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Heh, so I've heard. But since I'm Chinese I hope they'll cut me some slack! Even if they don't give us the permits beforehand, we can always re-apply when we get into China. :)

[themadfish.livejournal.com]

Ahhh I'm so jealous of all the places you're going to!

I'm in Taiwan right now. I predict gaining another 5 lbs. Man, the food is so good.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

I am jealous of all your food! It's still hours until dinner here. T_T

[themadfish.livejournal.com]

Haha, my mom is starting to make me take pictures of the food. XD I should post some when I can get it off the camera. You know, to taunt you with it. XD Or, make you look forward to what you'll get in China! :D

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Do eeeeeet. I want to see those pics!

[belle-favrielle.livejournal.com]

I am so jealous of you! You sound like you have such an exciting life. I'd love to travel that much, and have been wanting to go to India for a few years now, but I'm way too scared to go by myself. Someday I'll make it there. I just recently started up at a new college, and am meeting a lot of people from all over the world, so there is potential! You should take tons of pictures so we can live vicariously through you!

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Well, in case you're free the second half of February I will be traveling solo after the wedding so you could join me. XD But probably not, so good luck at school and yes, I will take tones of pics!

[acromantular.livejournal.com]

India! I am totally jealous - haven't been there yet, and Indian weddings rock.
Have a fantastic time.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

So I hear! I am excited, they're even giving me a sari. :D
