*guilty smile*
I'm posting now because
faithx5 is forcing me to. She hit me twice to make me post. Honestly! :D
I really am sorry for my massive LiveJournal absence of this year. I really miss reading everyone's posts, and I know I keep saying this, but I really do mean to get back to reading, commenting, posting, etc., and just... well, it hasn't happened (obviously :))
What are we supposed to write in these LJ post things again? *g*
Ok. At the moment I'm on a just over two week trip in America. I had a fantastic 8 days in Boston with
bawston48 (who rocks soooooo much!), and am now in St. Louis until Monday, when I'll be going back to Boston, where I'll stay for a few days before flying back to Wales on July 1st. I sooooo wish I could stay out here for much longer. I'm having such a great time. :)
Hanging out with Jandy (who totally rocks for letting me stay with her, (and just totally rocks in general)) is a lot of fun. We went to Six Flags on Wednesday, which was awesome. This park is a lot better than any of the British theme parks I've been to, it had more rollercoasters, the queues weren't too bad, and it was just generally a really cool place. Of course, it was also great going to a theme park with Jandy. Who, by the way, is a heck of a lot braver than I am. I was really scared going on a bunch of the rides, where as Jandy was totally not nervous about any of them.
Going to the arch (which is amazing) was along the same lines. Going up the trams to the top of the arch frightened the life out of me, they were creaking and everything!! It's not at all unmanly of me that I was clinging to the seat and cringing for the entire 4 minute ascent. *cough* And then looking down on St. Louis, while extremely cool, was also very scary for me. But the trams up and down the arch were definitely the scariest.
Luckily, Jandy has been completely supportive of all my fears, and has reassured me of my safety at every occasion. "They don't lose too many people on here". Yup. Very reassuring. :D
I'm trying hard to keep this post really short, I just can't seem to stop myself from babbling. Plus it's been a really busy trip (my friends rock for taking me to lots of places :)), so I'd be able to go on and on and on. I'll do that when I get back home I think. :)
And I've really lost the hang of this LJ posting thing. I need help. :D
"You type stuff in the white box and then press "update journal" at the bottom." Thank you Jandy. :D
I have soooo much more I want to babble about, but I feel guilty for drawing this out so long. Also,
kaymyth is here at the moment, who is also very cool. Plus I feel guilty about taking so long about this, even though Kaymyth has just assured me that it's ok for me to go on for another chapter or two if I need to. Hee! See? I'm practically being ordered to keep babbling. *g* I swear, Jandy and Kaymyth are such slave-drivers. :D
It's so strange that I've been friends for over a year with them and yet this week is the first time I've met them, and likely the only time I'll be able to spend with them for ages. It's sad. I wish I lived in America. :)
I'll babble a lot more about this trip when I get back, I expect, so I will finish up for now. I'll just say that I've really loved my time here in America so far, and Bawston, faithx5 and Kaymyth are all fantastic. :)
And now Jandy and Kaymyth are mocking my babbling tendencies. I'll stop. :D
I will post more when I get back home though. Honestly. :)
