i have been having some reall strange and disturbing dreams the past few nites. i thought it was stress, so i went to yoga tuesday nite, still had them. last nite i had a glass of wine to relax me, just one glass, still had them. they are all really bizarre and its starting to interfere with my life because i cannot get a good nites sleep. does anybody have any tips or sugggestions on ways to sleep better? ive never had problems sleeping, and im really not worried or thinking about too much before i go to sleep so i dont know why this is happening. thanks guys. |

so i made it to rome. no problemo. hot as hell but the hostel was nice. met dave and sarah from australia as well as tim from australia. hung out with them the whole time. went to the vatican, sistine chapel...which is the most incredible thing i have ever seen! saw lots of other sites. rome is beautiful. went to naples, just to go to pompei and climb mt vesuvius. another amazing day. ill post photos eventually and that will be much more exciting than reading about it. i was on my way to florence at 730 wednesday nite, going to arrive there at midnite. the train was running late, and its 1am and ive fallen asleep. i woke up right when the train was pulling away from the station i needed to get off. i was hysterical. i had no idea what i was gonna do. long story short, i end up in bologna, had to take a train at 5am back to florence and i didnt get to my hostel until 7am. i was up a whole 24 hours. it was only supposed to take me 4 hours to get here, it took me 12. what a dum dum. it was really bad for a while, i was exhausted, pissed off at myself, hungry, tired, etc. but then it was just oh well, what can you do. and i laughed. made friends with the italian policemen and called my parents. they werent mad at me which was all i was really concerned about! ha. tomorrow tim and i are going to cinque terre and then to venice. should be oh so romantic. haha. i have a terrible hangover and its time to see the city. whats going on in your world? |

so this girl, victoria from LA, is crashing on my floor. she used to live in the dorms. she took a vacation to spain and now shes back and cant get a room cause the office people are on holiday cause french people are super lazy and do whatever they want and dont tell anybody. so i offer her my floor for a nite...its now nite #3. she has no money. she cant get ahold of her super duper rich doctor parents to have them put money in her account because 1. they dont check email...wtf? 2. her phone is out of minutes and she cant buy a phone card. ok so she asks me for 20 euro to get food. im thinking this will last her the next couple days of her trip so i give it to her. she comes back and says im gonna try to leave tomorrow [somehow] but i will have to borrow another 8.50 euro to get to the airport. im like i just gave you 20 euro what happened to it. i spent it all. at the grocery store. !!! who the hell buys 20euro worth of groceries they wont have time to eat?? she says, im leaving them for you. i dont want them! so im pissed. im annoyed that this rich girl who came to paris to shop at louis vuitton and wear chanel sunglasses and go to expensive clubs is now borrowing money from me, the girl who has a month left here and not nearly enough money to survive on. she has this satiny silky blanket that she hassss to have to sleep and i just want to yank it off her and throw it out the window. ive turned into a total bitch here. what do i do??? i cant just keep giving her money. alright. im done bitching. |

ive had am amazing couple of days in paris. depsite the fact that katie left, ive enjoyed being here more than ever.
yesterday i went to the catacombs. waited in line for 2 long hours. but it was the cooleset thing id ever seen. walls of bones and skulls. its so wet and cold down there and really eery. i recommend going if you are ever going to be in paris. cheap too.
today i went to cimetiere pere lachaise to visit the graves of jim morrison, oscar wilde, edith piaf, and sarah bernhardt. i wanted to see more but it was closing. the cemetary was beautiful. joe and i walked around and found a great locals cafe where for the first time i didnt think the people thought i was an american. my french was super tight today. walked around more, found dirt cheap, but good, indian food. got a cheap bottle of wine and im in for the nite. a successful parisien weekend. lots of dead people. |

finally went to see a movie tonite. katie, my homegirl, and i were dying, joanna came as well. saw marie antoinette. really glad i saw it in paris, after being at versailles. i really enjoyed it. sofia coppola never ceases to surprise me with her slow beginnings, entertaining middles, and "no dont let this be the end" endings. i recommend it. funny soundtrack to a "period film". we walked to the arc de triomphe to get ice cream at a supposedly great place, we never found it, but wondered around the greatest area with tons of quiet side streets surrounded by enchanting apartments. it was surreal. finally made it back to the champs-elysees for expensive ice cream and fairly cheap wine. and now, finishing off last nites wine, of course. going to bed soon. bonsoir mon amies! |

its pretty much the greatest time to be in paris. everyone is insane. there were riots outside my dorm tonite and girls got their cameras stolen and got felt up, so that is really terrible, but depsite all that, its amazing. rooftop parties. free bbq's in the basement. i saw the president of my dorm, who is gay, have sex with a girl on the roof. i wanted to vomit. but hey, its paris. anything goes. ive never been able to walk by the police carrying 3 beers in my pockets and 2 in my hands. this city is incredible. more updates later.
for photos check my flickr.
oh and the whole boots with everything thing doesnt fly here. ive gotten stared down a lot. all the women wear sandals...allllll the time. fuck dirty feet...wear shoes!!
and the women smell great, but the men smell disgusting and they gauk. always a few exceptions of course.
this bottle of wine is setting in.
bonsoir!!!! |

i really hate packing. and cleaning apartments out and figuring out all the dirty details. i have always really loved unpacking tho, so im looking forward to that i guess. although, i probably will just be living out of my suitcase so i guess thats not so fun.
ive really been missing minneapolis lately. i loved living alone, i loved my studio, i loved that city.
i have to clean out my locker at daap still.
oh a brighter note, i hope we still go camping tomorrow. im glad my friends are ok, despite the real bad car wreck. im excited to be 22. my dad left me the sweetest voicemail ever last nite before the fashion show. hes slowly redeeming himself for turning me into an alcoholic.
i cant decide what to do about the fall. so many reasons to come back but so many reasons to stay gone.
im watching felicity and it is super dum and cheesy. i think ill turn it off. |
