I take a deep breath and hold a piece of sky in my mouth

I'm not home yet. Well, OK so I *am* home, but only in body because my spirit is really everywhere but here. On Thursday last week I've been home for a month and while I adore New York, and this is not the last time you hear of it, it's not as if I feel particularly like I'm still in New York. I just feel anywhere but here.

A few weeks ago we had our 'team day' where we all bonded and such, which wasn't nearly as awful as I thought. I made my presentation and after a few days had gone by, my boss lady came up to me and said "I thought you would say that you love travelling". Huh? That was my highly intelligent response to that and then she started telling me about how I'd flewn to London over the weekend in 2009 followed shortly after by an almost month long trip to the great US of A. Then in 2010 I hadn't been anywhere which she thought was a bit bizarre only I went to New York this year for a week. Surely I must love travelling.

I don't really feel that way. I don't mind not going anywhere as long as I feel good where I am and while I lived in Copenhagen I was thrilled to just be. Somehow now, I search for any excuse to go somewhere. Be that New York, Vegas (BABY!), San Francisco, London or Paris. Hell, if I had the chance I'd whisk myself off to Blackpool. While this makes it sound as if I have a terrible life here, I really don't. My appartment is decent (although the rent is a bit steep for a place like this), I love my job (there seems to be a bit much of that lately) and my parents aren't all that intrusive (which is rather odd). It's really just the city I suppose and the fact that most of my friends moved on while I was gone. Two years later, all the friends I have left of my 'old' friends is my bestest friend evah, a darling colleague girl and, Dullface he admitted reluctantly. Fairly sad.

Not to sound too sad and pathetic, I did manage to meet a few new peeps, but I'm rather picky when it comes to meeting new friends. Unlike in other parts of my life. This is also why I ended up going to New York alone. My bestest friend evah was unavailable or as he would say - out of funds and there was no way in hells I'd take Dullface.

Now, let's steer back to travelling again. I get sidetracked easiely. I've been thinking about how it'll be at least a year until I'll go somewhere again. To be honest I find that unbearable, so I have been airing the idea of a few days in London. Travelling Scary Air and staying in some mucky hotel for a few days is better than nothing I suppose. This would mean I could go see this in London



on Sunday..

Of course that's completely crazy but a few days in London would be wonderful. Maybe I'd feel ready to get back to the daily trials and tribulations then?

  3. Yes... Go to London. You know you really do miss the FGES... you can hunt them down with MR Beastie...
    I'm sure Miss Scarlet and MR DeVice and Sparkly Tim and Roses would all love to help.

    Then plan a trip to Kylie's home town of Melbourne...

  4. Been looking at air fares and hotel prices and I have decided to probably stay at home.

    I may come to Melbourne next time Kylie tours downunder.

  5. Talking of New York, did I thank you for your postcard? I thought I had, then I thought I hadn't, and now I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER.

    So: Thank you for the postcard.

  6. So you'll go to Oz, rather than come to London?

    We could have hung out. Drinking champagne and looking fabulous. I'd have even put high heels on for you!

    Humf.

    Disappointed much.

  7. Kylie launched her tour here in Melbourne Saturday just gone I think... I might have been reading an old paper though!

  8. TIM: I suppose I did send you a postcard. Don't remember if you thanked me for it though. It was my pleasure though. I love sending postcards, rubbing peoples noses in my travels.

    Roses: I'd ALSO like to go to Melbourne sometime, but London is easier and cheaper. Chances are I'll go there first. Here's a novel idea, how about coming to Denmark?

    Princess: I think she just finished 3 nights in Melbourne. She's got Adelaide and Perth to go before going to Asia and Africa.

    So, it'll be her next tour, maybe.
