-- My overtime for tonight got cancelled. I'm equally annoyed and happy about it, because God knows I could use the money but at the same time I still haven't made a dent in my Yuletide. Urgh. Now I have a headache.

-- My entry at the holiday love meme.

-- I've been debating lately about planning a really big vacation in, like, two years or so, which would hopefully give me plenty of time to save up and be able to do whatever I want on it. What I really want to do is go somewhere outside of the U.S., because I've never been outside of the country and I would love to hit Britain or Italy or something. I think my biggest problem with the whole plan is ... well, aside from the fact that that I'm eternally broke and whatever money I have usually disappears before too long, I'm really thinking that if I go to Britain like I'm leaning towards if I even do this I think I want to go by myself, which just makes me feel weird. I'm going to want to hit historical landmarks and museums and stuff and everybody I would want to go with is going to hit all the touristy crap. Hell, I don't know. *shrugs*

-- I may just skip out on working on my Yuletide during the day today, pack up my stuff, and go to Panera with my laptop to work on story notes for my next novel. Hmm.

Nothing weird about going on holiday by yourself! I always do. It means I can do the things I want to do, without having to worry about somebody else.

I guess I'm just nervous because it's not going on vacation by myself in this country, it's going on vacation far, faaaaaar away from anybody I know. But I can't even think of anyone who'd want to be dragged off to Europe with me at this point, so. *shrugs*

the last episode of the amazing race makes me kind of want to go to dubrovnik, croatia, because oh, man, so PRETTY.

We all speak the same language. Sorta. Just say you're Canadian and you'll be fine.

(Although I understand the nerves. That's why I'm going the Middle East on a 'small-group' tour, rather than entirely on my own. Ten or so people with a guide, but with plenty of time to bugger off on our own, as well.)

Man, I wouldn't mind going to the Middle East, either, although that'd definitely be a going-with-other-people kind of trip. I don't know when the hell I became such a ginormous history geek, but HOMIGOD, that trip would be SO worth it.
