Holding On For That Teenage Feeling

England is quaint, it really is.
I love the television here. Especially HollyOaks.
The accents are lovely, and I just love it all.
Tesco is fantastic.
I have six minutes left free, so I'll update later with a more coherent style.
Ta!

My suitcase shares something special with Nicole Richie, no not fame, not fortune, not even a tabloid favorite feud with Paris Hilton; what my suitcase shares with Ms. Richie, is a whopping 63.6 pounds!

That's hot.

Believe Me, It's Hurting Me More Than It's Hurting You

My friends are going back to school on Wednesday, and I can't help but feel like I am getting away with something. I get an extra three weeks of summer vacation while my peers lament their long-lost days of sitting in front of the computer screen, wishing for something to happen.
My three weeks are going to be jam-packed with excitement; I get to go an hour away from where I live to try and get my license because I failed last Thursday and there are no appointments in the area.
Included in the fun are orthodontist appointments, dentist appointments, and the dreaded physical! I still see a pediatrician at Kaiser; I hate waiting in the pastel room and having no entertainment, unless I want to read Sonoma Parent or Highlights. Not to mention the same survey that they make me fill out every time I go. 12-17 demographic, You know what I'm talking about!

Have fun in math class, I'll be thinking of you while I prudely check the 'no' box next to Have You Become Sexual Active?
Oh Kaiser, you filthy dogs, you!

Terrorist Attempts: Creating Elbow-Room Since 2001

What is with all of these fools trying to blow up airplanes? Especially British airplanes. Especially four weeks prior to my departure!
I am actually glad that this whole debacle has gone down when it has, because it means security will be tighter and safer to fly. But most of all, I'm hoping that white suburbanites who were planning on flying off to Manchester in a few weeks for some 'R and R', will get paranoid and re-schedule, thus leaving me with a row to myself! No fuss for the window seat and no jumping over sleeping strangers when I need to pee, perfection.
I only hope I won't have to check my Bath & Body Works Sun-Ripened Raspberrytm Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Gel (with Vitamins B5& E)! It kills germs, without water! This little 3 fl.oz/88 mL kicker smells great, features little balls that are magically suspend within the germ-killing serum, and is oh-so aesthetically pleasing! Mister sister tell me no more, I'll take it!

If you have been living in a cave or a news-free zone the past few days, this is what has been happening.

Or Frank, Or Steven, Or Whatever Your Name Is

There are 28 days left until I leave for England and with everyday that passes I get a little bit more excited and more scared. I know once I am there I will be so happy and so alive, but it's actually leaving that is hard. I'm not sure how to say goodbye to everyone I love; half of me wants to weep and grab hold of my mother and be sentimental, the other half wants to hop on the plane with just some quick hugs and kisses from my family and be gone.
I think a big part of growing up is knowing how to say goodbye, how to let go of one part of your life and say "Hi, I'm Maggie" to another.
I am so ready to do this.
