fireworks and sugar cubes make me a happy meggy
MEMEAGE!
This meme reminded me of how many wonderful things out there I haven't done
and got me all excited about my next adventure, whatever it may be.
also, does anyone feel like going to Europe with me at some point over the next two years?
I have a hankering to go to Greece [and skinnydip in the mediterranean]...
and Ireland. and London. and Germany and Prague and Portugal and Switzerland and Italy and Belgium and the Netherlands and Denmark and about three hundred other places.
I'd also totally settle for Asia.
