tomorrow I'm going to Santa Cruz for the weekend, gonna meet up with some friends and generally chill.

Still bored as fuck here, and don't have a job or a plan yet, so it'll be good to take a vacation from unemployment.

so, i've been back in California for about two weeks now, and I'm bored as fuck. I think I need a job, but I'm being picky and lazy. For now I'm just chilling at my dad's place, slowly realizing that I need to get the hell out of Dodge, er, FresNO, asap.

can anyone recommend some cool places to live? I'm thinking Portland or Seattle,...

finally back in Cali. The flight back was smooth and nice enough, I'm just about over my jet lag, and I'm slowly easing back into life in these United States. Yesterday I had thanksgiving with my family, which was pretty okay. Though at times I felt that it was all a bit much to deal with.

I feel the urge to say something more, but...

sophie:
yay! yay for edison computech.

i went to computech for jr. high.

san joaquin memorial for high school.

us catholic school girls are sooo bad.

and i see you're into books. did you perhaps go to fresno state?
sophie:
sorry to keep littering up your journal with nonsense, but fresno state is not bad. my first year of college was spent at cal poly SLO and i was so lonely and homesick that after a year i moved back to fresno. it was a great thing. i finished my BA in english in a total of three years. one in san luis obispo and two in fresno.

of course, by the time i was done with that i was truly needing to get out. so i moved to SF to work on my MA in literature.

again, sorry to give more detail than it appears you were looking for, but fresno state is really a pretty rad school.

going to California with an aching in my heart ...

It's over. Tomorrow morning I catch a plane back home, after two months of magic and wonder travelling Europe's byways. That I did 8 countries in two months without dropping dead from exhaustion means I'm made of stronger stuff than I thought I was when I set out.

I wish I could stay forever. I...

now I'm back in England. I didnt get hardly enough time in Paris, but then I could live there my whole life and not get enough. So many of the places I've been in Europe are like that, and it's been great to get even the slightest taste of them.

I'm flying back to Jesusland, er, the USA, on Tuesday, so the next four days...

Two places you MUST go to, both in Soho: Garlic and Shots (menu is pretty much garlic everything, and they have over 100 different kinds of shots) and The Spice of Life, really nice pub.

Now I'm in Paris, enjoying my last full day on the Continent. tomorrow I catch a train back to London where I'll be staying a couple days before flying home.

Today I had lunch in a very famous caf on the Boulevard Saint-Germain in the Latin Quarter, called the Cafe de Flore. It was a favorite hang out for Sartre, de Beauvoir and Camus, and...

Eh, you probably won't sleep nonstop for a week. Make sure you sleep on the plane and you'll be good.
sicily:

Now in Madrid, did some cool museums today and saw awesome art works, including a few favorites. Barcelona was a blast, I stayed out late clubbing and had a great time. Madrid is supposed to be the nightlife capital of Europe, but I've been way too tired lately to go out and see it. I have been to a few bars that had pretty shitty...

Now I'm in Barcelona, having fun but starting to really feel a drain from all my journeys so far. Since Nice and my last entry I went to Avignon, a very pretty medieval town in the Provence region in the south of France. It was nice but very cold and most things were shut due to the season and it being a Sunday when I...

shit. shit shit shit shit shit.

I can't quite say I'm ashamed to be an American, but I'm totally dumbfounded at the idiocy and gullibility of 51% of the American electorate. It's like they really live in a parallel reality, and it's incredibly alienating.

I'm in Nice, France right now, and still having lots of fun on my trip, but it's impossible to think about...

America will never be "america" again. The concept is dead man, we have lost touch with what it once meant (if it ever meant anything), and like you said our nation is taking on a different face.

While it was only 51 percent, if the other 49 sit back and allow four more years of depleted uranium bombs, economic suffering, and environmental destruction, it will go from being 51 to 100 percent of america that the world hates.

we have to resist, we have to do something

yep, it will be
