Hello Internetters,
This will be my first time blogging, if lame attempts at twitting and occasional spuing profanities on facebook doesn't count. The reason would be my voyage that I am about to embark upon, and just the thought of me having to repeat to aaaaaaaall my friends the same story over and over makes me cringe. Anyone who knows me knows my hatred for repetition... so maybe this blogging won't last long either. I'm full of good intentions.
I've packed my bags, chosen the template for this blog, cancelled my navigo pass and made several photocopies of my passport. I've stocked up on guide books, printed out tickets and written down confirmation numbers and phone numbers. Still... I don't feel ready. Could be late developed hodophobia (yeah, you'll have to google that) or old age. As if any traveling after thirty weighs more, kind of. Or, the fact that I am going to a country where they crucified the first (famous) bringer of peace and since then there has been constant unrest (not historically correct, but is good for dramatization of this recount). So as a natural born pacifier I might soon be ending my days dangling from a crosswood like a yummy dry fish.
