Well, since I got some comments that my myspace is boring I figured I should at least post a new blog.  AND I haven't really been posting much of anything about what's going on with me because I'm just lazy about it.  So now that I'm really busy with work, but tired of doing it, I will take the time to inform you, my friends, about me, the dork.

     Aey and I split and then got back together.  It's hard to think now how I felt at that time, but I know that now I'm happy.  When I left I thought I could be happy with another girl, that I would find something better.  But only because I had never had another relationship.  If I had some experience on the issue I think I would have realized what Aey and I really had together.  And I believe it is something not everybody experiences.  Everyone tells me that love is hard to come by and that you need to hold on to it.  And being the stubborn jackass that I am I thought that I knew better.  Well, so there's that.

     I still work at the private school in Lad Prao, but I moved to a new apartment.  The apartment is bigger and much closer to the school.  I walk to work in the morning.  A lot of the foreign teachers from my school live close by also and I see them walking around now and then.  Gives me a sense of community that I didn't have before.  My two snakes are doing fine, but I'm still a bit nervous about transporting them back to the US, which I'm not sure when I'll be travelling anyway.

     I'm coming home for christmas most definitely.  I'll be flying in just before christmas and I'm goign to request some extra days off so that I can stay until maybe January 6 or 7 so that I can see some people.  Are you one of the people?  If you're reading this blog, you probably are.  So when you know where you're giong to be, let me know so I can make some plans.  NYC kids, I was thinking that since I"ll likely be flying out of new york that I would just come up a day or two before my flight to hang out. 

      This school is a disaster.  There is so little communication about administrative matters with the English staff.  Our boss is an incompetent fool.  They alert us of special activities and cancelled lessons a day in advance if we're lucky.  THey pay more attention to the dress code than to what actually goes on inside the classrooms.  And if I don't stop bitching now I'll go on forever. 

    ALso, I'm going on what I hope to be my final Laos visa run this weekend.  I look forward to 3 days of sitting on busses, waiting in line, and visiting the true 3rd worldness of this country.  ALong with the ridiculous beaurocratic nonesense involved in getting a tourist visa.

To Mom:  I'm just going to send the package without the CD.  I've had all the other stuff forever and the CD is daunting me causing me to delay for more than a month.  SO I'm just sending it now and I 'll bring one for christmas. 

To Chris:  I'll be sending your stuff at the same time that I send mom's package.  Hope you enjoy.

To you smartasses after my own heart.  There are probably spelling mistakes and typos in here that I normally would take care of , but the keyboards at school are shit and I'm too tired to proofread.  OK i think that's all.  No wait one more thing

I started picking up some British language stuff.  I've referred to my friends as "mates" a few times.  Even said "cheers' once or twice(although I like that one it sounds pretty weird with american pronunciation).  And a few odds and ends.  I'm interested to see if people think I have an accent when I get back.  But I still haven't managed to pick up that much more Thai.  I can get along and hold simple conversations but a lot of simple stuff is still also too hard for me.  I feel some inspiration to learn more coming on soon though. 

OK, now i'm too tired to even mess around at work.
