why does everything I want to do cost money? I need to go on Jeopardy...

so next summer Kristalyn and I are planning to do this HUGE road trip. starting from Montreal, going to California, and back. That would be an epic trip, so unbelievable, and I am SO excited that you have no idea, I've always wanted to road trip across the states, I was even planning on doing it by myself.
I just really want to see the sun rise in the desert on a long stretch of highway. That to me, is the ideal moment.
Then my mom tells me, that if everything works out, that she and the "father" are going to go to Morocco next summer.
pause.
allow my mind to blow.
Un-pause.
for the past like, four years, they've been going to Maine, New Brunswick, Cape Cod. a lot of east coast places that have cabins, and nothing else. so this is a huge huge change.
and I need to go. I've wanted to go to Morocco since I could remember. It helps that I am Moroccan, and I need to see where I come from.
I heard stories of how it's always the hottest day of the year there, you play in the streets until 8, when the sun starts to set. You're up at the first sunlight because you don't want to miss anything. and the food. (except for the eggplant) I love it all. I told mother, that I need to go. There is no way that I can't go.
so if this whole thing ends up happening, I just have to pay my plane ticket, and then I'm golden. Because they want to rent maybe an apartment, or a villa, or house for a couple of weeks, which is free lodging. I just need money and an empty suitcase lol.
I really want to go to Spain also. because you can take a ferry fromt he tip of Morocco into Spain for the day. But my mom was all like, "I've already seen Spain, I've never seen Morocco." umm I've never seen anything except for New Jersey and Alaska. okay? okay.
the snag: the plane ticket could be around $1,400. that hurts. a lot.

the plan: pay off the entire credit card by the end of this year. That gives me a lot of money to use and pay back gradually lol. (I was going to get a Mac, because this computer is falling apart (missing 4 keys) but this is a trip of a lifetime.)
the snag: am I going to be able to go on both trips?
the truth: I don't think so. and it sucks.
but I think that I would go to Morocco. not because I don't want to go with Kris, beccause I do. so badly. we have a Texas snap dance to do.
it's just that, USA will be there. But this, I don't think that this will come along again- ever. I wouldn't be able to go on a three week Moroccan trip by myself. And I don't want to have to wait until I'm 60 to do it. I want it now. I want to live.
I'm so tired of not doing anything that I want to do. and then complaining about it. I have to stop complaining and take action.

action, in this case means,
- no DVD buying
- no subway (sigh)
- paying visa, more than what I usually pay.
- working my ass off and opening another savings account.
OR
giving the mother $100-$200 every month to put towards morocco. Because if they are serious about having this happen, then I am equally serious about going. I'll even put up with a 14 hour plane ride. Just have to charge that Ipod hardcore lol.

bytheway: Weddings are expensive.
the dress, the shoes, the present, the parties, the hair, the make up.
OH, I think I know how I am going to do my hair!!!! excited is me.
yeah so it's 4:30 a.m. I should sleep..... will I?
we'll see.

10 days until vancouver!!!

hope, movie, clothes, twin, travel, carpe diem, wedding, money
