Random post to end a year of randomness

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. ♥
