long overdue...

I have decided to keep up with this neglected little blog...so sad I have left it behind.
Two friends have up and left me.. I hope I see them again. Its weird to think that you may never actually see these people again. Weird Weird Weird.

Its super hot in Paris...28 degrees I almost melted. It seems as though attractive french people are not bothered WHATSOEVER by the heat and dont even break a sweat as they rush throught the metro in a JACKET and PANTS. Jesus Murphy I almost melted just looking at them...Seriously though...no one seemed that bothered except me and my fellow tourists.

I feel kinda bad that I am inside on such a nice day but...seriously..it felt like 40.

I miss home an awful lot lately...it seems like alot is happeneing now and I am missing it. Maybe not alot but to me it is because things are changing in my home and I am not there. I am here. In an overheated room.

I skyped my family for over 2 hours today.
That helped
Love

i dont even think i would leave the shire

It seems like this whole things is not really real.
All the days seem to glue together, and the weekends are a blur of metros and dancefloors and sunrises. Crepes, wine, barbeque chips, blisters, new shoes, scarves for 1.50.

This summer I am going to take a famous reading list and read all the books. I saw someones note on facebook and I really want to do it.
I have started to read the hobbit a billion times but I always lose interest after they live the shire. If I were a hobbit I dont know if I would want to leave the shire either.
Anyway. I was thinking I should start reading Jane Austen. And make my first attempt at War and Peace. I am about that age when I should be reading all dat good shit.

Last sunday we went to le mareilles for sweets. I had the best "noix de coco" ever. AND I DONT EVEN LIKE COCONUTS!!!!

barbie

I love barbie.
I know everyone always goes on and on about her unrealistic ideals of beauty etc but I mean its plastic. Everyone knows that. I can accept that she's fake and still want to be barbie-like. Its not gonna harm me...
BUT
I was playing barbies with the little girl today...and we were in her Barbie trailer...and Barbie doesnt have a toilet. Barbie doesnt pee? Thats taking female perfection a little too far...

Does Barbie think her shit dont stank?

my coat has no buttons.

My coat has no buttons. People selling bracelets by the side of the road point it out to me. Its a little embarassing. At least I can tell them I have no money and they will believe me.
I bought myself a phone on break. Now I have two phones because my boss lady finally gave me mine...so. Thats SUPER USEFUL. IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE ME NOW! HAHAH.

I did an incredible amount of sightseeing. I have seen a great many things. Things I wanted to see and things I didnt..but all in all I like it. I met some great people.
I am having fun but I CANT WAIT UNTIL MY FAMILY IS COMING TO SEE ME!!!!!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU DONT EVEN KNOW! THREE WEEKS IS GOING TO DRAG ON AND ON AND ON BUT I AM SO EXCITED!

I miss you. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
Love Keara

No..I actually dont have a phone...

Hello.
It has been awhile!! Mostly because I explain all important things that happen to me to people on msn like 8 times and then I dont feel like writing it here again. BUT SINCE I HAVE A WHOPPING 9 FOLLOWERS I THINK I PROLLY SHOULD SHOULDNT I?

Interesting things that have happened to me so far:

1. I went to a club. I was a superstar. YEAH.
2. I went into a washroom and walked in on a homeless man taking a "shower" in the sink. It was a little weird. It still remains unknown if he was speaking german or his own personal language.
3. I watched the sun rise in Montmatre. That was amazing.
4. I bought 932829835 postcards which need to be sent. THAT IS PRETTY INTERESTING.
5. I got lost in Paris. With no phone. But its cool. All I needed was a bowl of pasta and a heineken and it was alright.
6. I went shopping.
7. Still havent gone to any museums. RER strike and trains are not moving out of the suburbs.
8.I walked from Sacre Coeur to Notre Dame. On NO SLEEP. And I still thought it was beautiful.

I miss you all.
Have a pleasant day.

its the same in every language....

I went out for the first time last night....a "soiree" if you will. I had a surprisingly good time considering I knew no one. Its very pretty out at night and its so quiet. I hope I can do that again.

The other day I had to wait at the pool for a few hours. I really like it when there is no one in the pool and it is completely still. Its quite nice for a few minutes until they all jump in and it doesnt stop moving.

I hope to go to Paris tonight but I am for sure going tomorrow and I am very excited about that. I AM GOING TO PARIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone else here thinks its nothing to go into Paris but I think it boggles my mind.

I miss you all and wish you were here. Yesterday I rode the carousel hahhahahaha. My first purchase in france was two tickets for the carousel. It was the prettiest one I think I have ever seen but very old and made of wood and it had pigs and stuff instead of all horses. And art deco style paintings of naked women on the top of it which I found very odd for a childrens ride.

I watched this show the other day and I couldnt believe they actually did it. There was a giant pen with a little pool in it filled with balls and blow up fish. There was a bull/calf in the pen. I dont know how to explain it but it was perhaps a teenager bull. A junior bull. Anyway...they put CHILDREN DOWN THIS SLIDE INTO THE PEN AND THE OBJECT WAS TO COLLECT AS MANY BLOW UP FISH AT A TIME WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY THIS BUCKING BULL THAT CHASED THEM AROUND THE PEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldnt belive it. These kids were like eleven or twelve at the most. There was a red team and a blue team.
Blue won....who puts a kid dressed head to toe in red INTO a bullpen and expects him to win. Hahahahha. Nonetheless...it was very entertaining.

LOOOOOVVEEEE Keara!

cottage cheese and honey

My new favorite food is cottage cheese and honey. And honey on "Krisprolls" and a spoonful of honey with a "Prince" cookie. I love honey.
As for interesting news...I have none. Except for that I think I am getting the hang of it. I have conquered the BUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now all that is left is the RER and the metro. Which will be something.
I am quite busy.I dont really have time to take many pictures but WHEN I GO TO PARIS I WILL TAKE SOOOO MANY.
What a dull blog entry. I may as well have not bothered.

My dreams of writing in a journal every day are crushed because I forgot last night. And I cant write two tonight and pretend because I would know and everytime I read it I would know it was a LIE.

So far no friends. But it is still my first week. Pray to god that I dont end another one with "Its still just my second week." or "Its still just my first month"...Good Lord.

Well....Operation FIND LIBBY begins. I hope it is successful.

I love you all. Goodnight. Even though it is only afternoon there.
