Meme Me Up, Scotty!

[dante_kent]

So real life has seriously gotten in the way of my LJ posting lately. RUDE. I ran my very first 10k yesterday, and it sort of knocked me out for a while. I literally fell asleep at 9 PM last night. So I've been a bit absent, and VERY late on a few things, but I have spent the day catching up on the interwebs, and hey look, memes!

I am also most definitely a nationality mutt!! Though that has been my own doing. I've managed to live on four different continents over the past 8 years... and I've loved every single one of them for different reasons.

I have developed a bad (?) habit of not being able to stay in one place for very long. Which is awesome for lots of things (life experiences, boredom factors, learning new things, personal challenges, developing independence!) but not so awesome for others (relationships, jobs, saving cash!). Having said that, I do not regret any of what I've done at all. And I have definite plans to travel MOAR!

Also, all your TVD stuff... well, is there any point really in saying that I agree with all of it? ALL OF IT? Nope, no point!

FOUR continents? That is the coolest thing ever. Which continents? I know you're Australian, which is awesome enough, but this takes world traveler to a new level. As much as I travel, I've only been to 2 continents, which is a little shameful. Alas.

It's not a bad habit at all! I'm really impressed with you, actually. You have all the time in the world to settle down. I'm not brave enough to uproot myself like that, but I'm pretty jealous of your wandering ways.

Good to know I'm not just flailing in my own little TVD corner. JOIN ME, WHY DON'T YOU? ♥

Oooh, I've travelled to FIVE continents... but only(!) lived on four.

Australia (Born and bred!)
Europe (I lived in London for two years)
Africa (I lived in South Africa for six months)
North America (I lived in Canada for a year)

I've also travelled to Asia.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I WANT TO GO TO ALLLLL THE PLACES!

You only have two more continents to go!!! So when's the trip to Antarctica? (Not actually a joke - I totally want to go there.)

I WANT TO GO TO ALL THE PLACES TOO. Even looking at your icon makes me happy. I'm actually going to Europe next week - I AM EXCITEMENT. Nowhere I haven't been, but traveling is traveling, and I am happy.

(Any plans to visit the USA? I must rep my country at least a little.)

Oh, I don't count Antarctica as a joke either! Haha! A good friend of mine with a PhD in marine science/zoology (something like that, I am a BAD friend!) has been TWICE

A friend of mine went to Antarctica on a cruise and brought back all of these pictures she took of penguins, and I just HAVE to go. Someday

Whoa, where in Europe are you going to be? That's amazing, I've never been abroad in the winter!

BTW, this is the change of geographical perspective XD. Not long ago I would get all excited when my friends were visiting my city. Now I'm equally excited about your trip to Europe, because, clearly, France or England are so close I'll be able to wave my "I love serial killers" t-shirt as you're passing XD

[dante_kent]

I'm going to Paris, London, and a bit of the English countryside. Totally close enough to wave at each other. If you see someone miming heart-ripping, well, that's me.

I'll watch the sky!

Have a great time and say hello to the Queen for me :D.
