i love aeroplanes...
melbourne in just over 12 hours :)
i'll be getting up in 12 hours!
it's very exciting, but i'm more than a little nervous
when i was travelling on my own, i was in possession of all the information and i don't like having things out of my control :) i like knowing what i'm doing and where i'm going.
at least i have a good sense of direction. i'm so proud that i never used a map when i was travelling, i mean, not on the street (a. you look like a tourist and b. it makes you vulnerable. especially in say.. glasgow :P). i'd look at it the night before or that morning and then i'd be set :)
i only got lost in seina... and if you've ever been there you will understand.
i'm really really missing europe and the uk. i was listening to beth orton last night.. she's english and i listened to this album a lot over there, it really has this general "uk" vibe to it now.
anyway, i was musing over it.. and i realised that when i was in europe, i always felt like i was on the verge of discovering something. sometimes i would discover the thing, and sometimes it would remain a mystery. sometimes this was terrifying, like when i'd just moved to london and was struggling to cope and just wanted to come home. but even then, i guess i knew that i was just horribly scared, because of all those unknowns.
now that i'm back in australia, i feel like i was on the verge of discovery... and then i had to leave. and i feel quite sad about all the things that i had to leave undiscoved.
i think when i was little i musta felt this way about brisbane. but when i did make the discoveries, got behind the intriguing facades, i was always disappointed. i very rarely did over there. maybe because there it's facade on facade on facade on facade.. so the discoveries are endless
