Soooo obviously it has gotten to the point in being home for break that I have returned to livejournal.  We shall see how long it lasts, or if I become amused enough with the jolt, twitter, steepandcheap, and facebook that I forsake lj once again.

Why do I always start talking in such a regal tone when updating on the interwebs? makes no sense.

Hi all,
Just thought I´d let you know that while I´m in Peru for the summer, I´ll be posting in a travelblog instead of on LJ, because it is more travel friendly and also my parents can see it.  The blog can be found here:
