3 Thanksgivings

Hey Friends

While I don't celebrate the commercial aspects of Thanksgiving, nor do I turn a blind eye to the historic happenings of the "holiday"... I do want to say what I am thankful for.

Traveling. That's the basis for this blog. To document my adventures, post memorable videos, and unforgettable pictures. I officialy became a Gypsy in the year 2009.

So let's recap:

Nov 24, 2009: I spent Thanksgiving touring Italy, with fellow intern/friend Linda. There we visted an acquaitance in Milan (who let us crash on her floor), the next day we met up with Linda's cousin in Venice, where we spent the night at a hotel located near The Grand Canal. The next day we day-tripped to Verona, to follow the footsteps of Romeo and Juliet. It was there that I laid my hand upon Juliet's breast and wished for Luck in Love.

Nov 24, 2010: I spent Thanksgiving touring Barcelona, by myself. After missing my first plane, I was lucky enough to have left-over monies to buy a plane ticket, same day to BCN. There I experienced the wonders and beauty of the Famed city. I drank with natives, socialized with other Hostel guests, and wandered the streets by my lonesome. I didn't get a chance to dance the flamenco, but I did see the famous works of Güell, Gaudí, and Picasso. Now I can say with an educated statement. I am not a fan of Picasso. As I left the city of BCN, I again wished feverently that true love and not lust would find me.

Nov 24, 2011: I spent Thanksgiving in Jihaeng, South Korea; amongst co-workers, friends, and acquatiances. I got to dress up like a panda, see my friend Justin (who was visiting from Germany/Afghanistan loosen up), play Kings Cup (Ring of Fire), and have a really chill time! It was a wonderful time but I was missing someone special. MY newlywedded husband. Unfortunately, the love of my life had to work, and so it wasn't until later that night, that we spent time together. Unfortunately, we spent the majority of the time with yelling (i.e. me) and stoiac silences (i.e. husband). Our fight lasted about 1.5 hours, afterwards we made up. :)

LoveStory

As Much as I'd like to give My All.

My Heart is My own.

Fallin'

I feel so petulant, over-eager, and slightly bitchy.

Oh and for the illerate bastiches...

Idiocracy-
1.Peculiarity of constitution; that temperament, or state of constitution, which is peculiar to a person

Petulant-
1 : insolent or rude in speech or behavior
2 : characterized by temporary or capricious ill humor : (peevish)

Puking My Heart

To search is to invest in disaster.
The romantic in me insists there is a story behind the story.
The pessimist within rings the bell of satisfaction.
The me within me. Cries.

Bad Romance

I'm okay with sleeping with a broken heart. I put my heart on the line and I was honest about what I wanted. He's like the wind, but I go where ever it blows. Its sacrilegious to declare that I desire commitment.

Yet I'm realistic to understand that he has a job to do. We weren't fated to be in 2010 but perhaps we'll m...eet in the future. I like him a lot and have shed a lot of tears. Who knows where we'll end or begin.

Somewhat sappy and unrealistic to the actual happenings. But he deploys tonight too Afghanistan for 12-15 months.

Its been one heck of turbulent ride.

Moving Mountains

I just want to find my true love. That is it. That is All. Well I want us to be Together. I need someone strong to stay in my corner. I'm ready for Love.

Romeo, Romeo Where Art Thou?

I'm focused on living and loving my life.

I dream of a happy ending with a fairy tale romance but I'm logical and I want a love that keeps me on my toes. My heart can not be contained.

I live for danger. I love the heady rush of being in love and not knowing where my life will take me. I think in love songs and in prose.

I want to be in love. I want to find the man I'm supposed to marry. Would I marry now? Sure, if he was my soul mate. Have his kids now? Nah. My biological clock isn't ticking yet lol.

I can fall hard for a guy. I put my all into it. I'm quite selective.

So many people ask me what type of guys am I interested in. I typically say it doesn't matter as long as there minutely attractive tallish and has humor. But that's a lie.

In regards to The physical characteristic:

• Over 5'9
• Looks sexy in glasses
• Has broad shoulders
• Toned arms --I like to be lifted :)
• Not a messy skin complexion (as far as acne)
• Skin Color- from the darkest chocolate to the cafe au lait ....
• Not necessarily a six pack but not a beer belly either
• Nice hair
• Nice teeth
• A huge talent isn't always best for me because it's definitely about the motion of that ocean

Now for the Real qualities: I want a gentleman. I want a hero. I want my other half. He needs to be culturally diverse. He has to be able to teach me. He has to want to learn. He has to believe in love. He has to be funny/witty/sarcastic either will do fine for me. He has to be able to out drink me lol. Realize that I'll learn to cook when it pleases me. Don't stress me for not knowing how to make a gourmet meal. Can you? Know that I can cuss like a sailor when it suits me but I'm really a lady. I like to cuddle. I like to travel. I'm impetuous. I like to dance. I love my friends and sometimes adore my family. I won't ask of you that I'm not willing to do myself. I'm spiritually based -- I believe and love God-- but I'm not within any sort of institution. I can't live in boxes. I'm temperamental. Don't expect me to follow the same patterns from when you first me. He has to know my life is Always Under Construction. I don't ask for much but I'm asking for plenty.

This list isn't exhaustive.

I know this entry is rambling and everywhere. But that's just how I am.
