Yep, I'm jealous
I will fully admit it-I'm jealous. Green with envy. Here I am, reading a fanfic (when am I not reading a fanfic?), and the author states that she's not going to update for a little bit because she's going to Berlin. Honestly, I'm glad I found the story after it was completed. But anyway, I'm jealous. Green-eyed. I've read many other fics where the author wasn't going to update for a little bit of time because they were going to some other place far away from where they live. Like somewhere in England, France, Germany, Austria, Australia, China, Japan, Norway-the list goes on and on.
How in the hell can they afford to go to all these places? Have they been saving up for the last 10 years? Yeah, I'm not rich. I'm not even anywhere near to close to being remotely well-off. I can't imagine that I'm the only one that has money problems.
I have a passport that will probably never have a stamp in it. It makes me mad. Yeah, I go through Canada every few months to go visit my family, but you don't get a passport stamp for that. I live in Michigan, they live in New York. If I go through Canada, it's about a 5-6 hour trip, mostly depending on how backed-up the border is. If I go around Lake Erie, it's somewhere around 11-12 hours. Big surprise there which way I prefer to go. The only downer for me when going through Canada is that I usually end up stopping on one of the damn bridges. I really don't like bridges. Especially bridges over water. Deep breathing exercises are my friends at that point. Look straight ahead. Don't-DON'T-look down. *shudders*
Yep, so I'm jealous. And now the song Jealous Again by The Black Crowes is on repeat in my head. Dammit.
