Woke up to the sound of thunder. You could hear the rain and wind cut through the island and all I could think was - please do. Give me adventure.
1 hour later, I was dressed and headed to the airport for my journey to the whole point of this: Australia
But first. I have to go back to Kuala Lumpur. Round two and as soon as I get here, I can't wait to leave again. There's just something about this place that doesn't feel welcoming to single travelers.
We're all herded like cattle from one waiting area to another. It feels kinda pointless, but at least I'm getting a decent wireless signal. I should have brought a book!
I do need to give a shout out to a few good friends (you know who you are) that keep me company via the wonders of the web as I go about my travels. Right now, I'm a total advocate of Facebook and Skype.
You know what sucks about aisle seating? Nothing....except when you're right next to the bathroom. It smells like pee...haha. Oh well. Glad I brought the bath and body works hand sanitizer. At least there's no screaming babies. Winning in some aspects.
So I've got time to think. Happens when you've got no one to pass the time with. Hmm.
People and things that annoy you and me:
- The military rivalry. Ok guys. Chair Force. Army strong, not smart. Yut yut...Etc, etc. After the third or fourth time, you become annoying and your unoriginality concerns me due to the lack of value you add to any conversation. Let's move on to something more interesting.
- The game. Let's just call "it" what it is. It's a game. People just don't let people know they are flat out interested any more...and if they do, they are most likely considered creepy.
-The "He's just not that into you" book. Yes. In most cases it makes some very valid points, but it doesn't mean it's not annoying to realize that the reason for rejection can be dumbed down to one sentence.
- People who only dish it out, but can't take it
- People who let their friends (not one friend, but a group) cut in front of a very long line. If our eyes had lasers, these people would be toast.
- Why so many single officers are highly superficial and only want sex? It's a shame that a college degree doesn't lend itself to also providing someone with a great set of morals and established self control to truly want something more than that. What a joke we are sometimes. I've known 18 year olds that conduct themselves with more maturity, self-respect and dignity than that of my fellow peers.
- People who smell bad on an airplane. I wouldn't mind if I could escape. But I'm stuck!
- The fact that I'm running out of hand sanitizer
- Helicopter parents that are quick to point the finger of blame at anyone else except themselves
- America's not-so-amazing education system
- Obesity in America and how my American friends complain about small portion sizes in other countries
- When you make plans with a friend and they bail at the last minute
- How time only seems to go slow when you want it to fly by...and vice versa
- I wish I could see karma in action
- People who aren't humble
- People who think they're perfect
- Selfishness
- Loving yourself doesn't come naturally to everyone and some people struggle to believe in this
- Being yourself comes at the price that you can't please everyone
- One mistake friendships where I make one mistake and there goes the friendship. Some friendship, right?
- The horrid smell in this plane
- Really picky eaters
- Korean Mosquito bites - yes, there is a difference!
- The irony that some of the people who claim to be "cultured" are some of the most closed-minded and judgmental of them all
- People who ask me why I'm still single. Or wait, the people who tell me it's time for me to get married.
- How hot it is in here. No lie, I'm standing in the corner, fanning myself with a hello kitty-shaped fan.
Midnight and I'm finally in Melbourne. Don't know if it's the lack of sleep but the bed I'm lying in meow is just as amazing as the one in Phuket.
Song of the day...Movin' away by My Morning Jacket
