long story short he leaves to japan in less than 4 hours from now. it's kind of exciting, for me as an outsider. 

to him? he's freaking the shit out. he's going to one of the busiest cities in the world and he's going alone. not that no one has done it, but if you knew nik, you'd be more than a little concerned that he wasn't coming home in one piece. 

he has a habit of getting himself into some pretty strange trouble. i don't think he tries to get in trouble, he just does. it happens. it's unavoidable that he, and whomever he's with, will get in heaps of shit while you're with him.

i love him to pieces, but this is the truth. i say this as i type on his incredibly expensive laptop while he's busy preening in the bathroom. it's good that he's doing this now and not 20 minutes before we have to be out the fucking door and on our way to the airport. 

his mother is sleeping. nice woman. if i was leaving to japan, no matter for how long, mama bear would drive me to the airport and make sure i had everything packed and everything. ivy won't even give him her adapters. poor kid has to use some of his money to buy a goddamn adapter. it's not like it's the most expensive place on earth, ivy. 

i guess my eyes are opening. slowly but surely, my eyes are beginning to see just how little i've experienced. nik, who i would have never pegged as someone who could actually do this (and to be quite honest the vote is still out on that one) is flying to japan TODAY. and i'm sitting at home until i have to go to work. i leave wednesday for vegas... and then i leave in july for a few days to dallas. but it's like everyone is doing these crazy holidays and i'm stuck here... working, or going to school. 

i have trip envy again. it happened before when everyone went to south africa while i was still in school. this year is different. 

a good buddy of mine is doing a contiki (and for those not in the know a contiki is a 6 week stint in either asia, europe or mexico usually taken by college kids. they take you to places and historical sights, but really it's one big fucking party after another. and lots and lots of sex) in europe with his cousin. they landed in europe today(?) and from there they travel to france, spain, italy, a cruise to greece, czech republic. they end up in amsterdam in 6 weeks. 

you wanna know what i'm doing?

going to vegas for 5 days with my mother, my grandmother, my aunt, my godmother and my friend. 

another friend is going to italy. granted, she doesn't go to school but COME ON. 

another friend is in australia going to school. sure, it's overpriced and ridiculous that she went ALL THE FUCKING WAY to oz to take fitness... but i digress. at least she's OUT THERE. 

the same friend who's going to italy just got back from south africa for the second time and before that she went to australia. 

another friend got back in the summer last year from cambodia and the philippenes. 

what did i do last summer? worked. 

now i can't blame this all on not having any money. if i had something to look forward to i would actually have money but i never do because mama bear is a little over protective and very... how do i put this? not willing to let me go and make my own mistakes? 

i hate the program that i'm in but i have to stay. i can't have any good holidays this summer because i graduate next year and 'i haven't done anything to deserve a big holiday'. 

well i got news for you bitch...

i may not be working for as long this year (she tried to move my arrival home from vegas 2 DAYS AHEAD so i could start my seasonal job with the city... LIKE WHAT THE FUCK TAKE A STEP BACK THATS MY FUCKING HOLIDAY) but missing 2 weeks of work won't mean jack shit. 

i'm working hard this year to have a holiday next year people will fucking envy.
