There are certain things I can't resist. For example, cake. Or, say, insanely cheap airfares to London. Which happened to pop up recently and which I had to take advantage of. You can't say no to airfares of less that $300. You just can't. Well, I can't anyway. So I'll turn 26 in London, getting English boys to buy me drinks. Now I just have to wait the 3 months before I go.
I picked the dates I did (November 3-10) based on the fact that I thought it'd be cool to be away for my birthday. And I realized this morning that I'd be leaving the day after Election Day. Hopefully I'll know who our next president will be when I embark. I imagine it will lead to some interesting discussions. And with any luck, they'll involve sentences like, "Yes, I am very happy that Kerry was elected."
Current song in my head:
"Let's Get Loud" by Jennifer Lopez
