Today I got told something you don't hear often...

"Spiderman just checked you out"

Today I was at the London comic con. It was fun thou it was the first time I went and I wasn't sure how to go about things.
Next time I will make sure to book some stuff in advance. For exaple I really would have liked to be at the Twilight talk but it was sold out! But I did go to a Star Wars talk.

The outfits were great! I didn't take that many pictures of them thou.







Also the camera didn't like the room much, and kept giving me blurry pictures (yes it was all the camera's fault not the crappy photographer ;-P)

I have the distinct feeling that due to me planning this trip that I am very much looking forward too, this blog can now be looked upon more as a travel (or run up to travel) blog and less of a mad rant blog. But then again I do still rant an people will probably still refer to me as mad so maybe it's a bit off both.
So if you like to travel please contribute with comments about places you have been or give advice about things I need to do (or not do) etc. And if you don't like travelling you probably wont be reading this blog anyway. :-)

I'm going on a Holi Holi Holiday!

Back from holiday and at work! Now I am planning for my next step! And my secret planning can be revealed

I have decided to take a trip to America. I'm hoping to travel thru North America and to stop in New Orleans for a while, best thing would be if I could do some volunteer work there for a month. I might be female but no one could accuse me of being weak and feeble & I would love to help restoring New Orleans even if only for a month. Then to fly over to South America from New York and join a tour trekking with a group, starting in Ecuador and finishing in Brazil (Rio).

One of the problems is (the biggest problem) money. It will be quite expensive to do all of the above and thou I do have some money saved it wont be enough so now I need to work out how to make enough, and how much enough is.

Might take evening job to make more (if possible).

Also looks like I might be out of a job end of august, I'm only s temp but they are laying people of then so I will probably go to. Can't make enough by then, also my rented room don't run out until end of September, don't know if I should keep it whiles gone (and pay rent for a place I'm not using) or give it up and have no place to stay when I get back. Also need to make sure I at least have £1000 for when I get back in case I have problems to get a job and prob even more if no place to live.
My dad thinks I should split the trip in 2 and do 1 part go home then go back to do 2nd part. I see his point because I could then pay for it in 2 and have more time to make enough but think it would work out more expensive and I'm planning on looking for a good job I enjoy doing when I get back so can't really swan of for months on end again once I find it.

Decisions decisions!
But no matter how horrible the run up will be I think the trip will be worth it! :-)

Holidays!

Going home on saturday for a week. Only a week but god am I looking forward to some peace and quiet.
Should be the last peace and quiet I'll have for quite a while. I am in the middle of making idea about what to do next, have sooo many. Will write about it when I get back.

Bad day at work again! Don't seem to be such a thing as a good day here. But atleast I've taken a wk off so will book ticket to go home tonoght (if internet decides to work) and call my parents to let them know.

Everybody at work is in a pissy mood today!

Job

Been thinking a lot lately about what I should do for a living. I mean it would be great if I could make jewellery full time but even if i could I think I would want a "normal" job too.
I know it's sounds strange but I like to work, and I really want a job were I use my brain, work with nice people, can put loads of effort in but be rewarded for it too.
I want a job were I have quite an important position and were I can have a career.
To explain:
I would enjoy working somewhere like an art gallery (it would appeal to the artist in me) but I think the actual work would eventually bore me because lets admit it, it requires social skills and maybe some art knowledge but no real brain work.
That came out wrong. I know it requires skill and work etc but it's not exactly solving world starvation.
I want something challenging (thou perhaps not solving world starvation kind of challenging).
Also right at this moment I'm not in a position to find this brilliant job because I have some plans in between. If it started in January next year that would be perfect.

Any ideas?
Yeah right! Like things ever just work out like that, but I will persevere and find the job of my dream to fit around the life of my dream etc. Only problem is, my dreams are dead confusing and strange at the best of times.

Oh, on that subject, guess what I dreamt last night!
I'm really quite upset BNP got voted into the EU Parliament and last night I dreamt they were taking over the UK. Here comes concentration camps for immigrant and gays etc. *brrr*
Lets hope it was just a creepy dream and not so much a vision of things to come.
