San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Seattle, Vancouver, New York, and hopefully a couple of days in Boston as well.

So, as some of you may know, I'm planning a trip with a couple of friends to the USA (and a small part of Canada) in December. We've booked our flights in and out of the country (I arrive in San Francisco on the 9th, and leave from there on the 4th of January) but now we've come up against a couple of snags.

We hunted around for the best deals, and finally found an itenary that worked out well for our budget and schedule. The only problem is, we can't seem to book these flights. Initially we relied on websites (mostly Orbitz.com and CheapTickets.com), but when it came down to actually making the reservations, as far as we can tell, they don't accept credit cards outside of the US, Canada, or European Union.

Now, I'm thinking this is probably just a lot of stupidity on OUR part, and nothing to do with the website itself, because it's let us key in local phone numbers for contact purposes, and even quoted in our home currency. I can't tell what we're overlooking though, because we've scoured every inch of that website and just can't find a way around it.

So this is where I need some help.

1) Does anyone know how I could get those websites working for a billing address in Asia? If not, are there any other flight-hunting websites with competitive prices? So far the ones we've found are all a good two to three hundred dollars more expensive, and we're on a really stringent budget.

2) Keeping in mind that the entire part of the trip that's spent on the West Coast will involve just me and one other person, who doesn't have her license, how much sense would it make for us to rent a car, in the event that our flights just simply don't work out?

3) If anyone knows the areas, and could just point out things to do and see, that would be wicked and much appreciated. Also accommodation hasn't yet been fully figured out, so recommendations for cheap but safe and comfy stays would rock. _{Liam, you best get cracking on that tree house}

So. Here's the rough outline:

For the West Coast, we'll be starting out in SF, and we want to hit up Vegas and LA. I need to spend a weekend in Vancouver (it doesn't matter which weekend, as long as it's a full weekend). Initially we planning to fly SF - LA - Vegas - Seattle, take a train/bus up to Vancouver, and then back down, before flying across the East Coast. Now we're wondering if it wouldn't make more sense to drive, or take trains the entire way.

On the East Coast, if at all possible, I need to get to New York by the 21st of December to celebrate my best friend's birthday. We've got a place to stay there, and any travelling we do will probably be by train and only for a couple of days at a time. And I need to get back to SF by the 4th of January.

So. Any ideas?

Also, if you live anywhere along my route, and want to grab a drink, hit me up. I'm not the most sociable of people in person, but I've been told that a beer or seven into the night I make some damned good company.

If you think there's anything I absolutely must see or do, please let me know. I want to do as much as possible, and I'm all set to have a damned good time. Keep in mind though that I'm already struggling to keep up with expenses, so as much as I'd love to, I can't do anything too costly.

Also, I've heard from a couple of friends who study/live there that the weather's been a little bit crazy. If anyone knows what it will be like during the period of my trip, and what kind of clothes I'll need to bring, that would be a huge help. I live in Singapore, and start reaching for a sweater when it hits 24C, so it's probably a good idea if I'm prepared.

Thanks in advance, and I promise to try and take lots of pictures

Also, my feet itch. And I've yet to spend a night at a hotel and get a decent night's sleep. Hotel blankets always make me feel suffocated.

*wiggles toes*

Edit: I forgot to mention that I got to use a $2000 camera today. Bless your generous soul, Robin The Photographer Dude.

I've always believed in insisting on taking pictures of the photographers. It's nice to document the documentators.

1) I need the toilet paper to be placed on the holder in a way that when you pull it, it's being pulled downward, not outward. If it's the other way round, I'll make sure to put it back to the way I like it, because I know most other people won't care anyway.

2) I'm really, really, REALLY accident prone. Think Archie Andrews. My drama coach once asked me, in all sincerity, if there was a part of my body that I hadn't injured. That being said, I've never had stitches, or gone for surgery, or even had to stay overnight in hospital.

3) I daydream, a lot. I'll talk to myself too, while I do it. Not in my head, but out loud, and I'll say the lines of all the people who are in my day dream with me. I've been doing it for so long, that it's pretty much a subconscious thing. I've never lapsed into it when there are people around though.. Yet. If something bad happens to someone in my daydream, I'll touch wood. Just in case.

4) When I was little, like about 4 or 5, I used to stick my stuffed toys in my shirt and pretend I was Pamela Anderson. Now I still believe in magic, because, lookie, I gots me some tatas! Speaking of which, I know I should be thankful for them, because lots of girls pay a whole load of money to get theirs to look like mine, but a lot of the time I really envy flat chested lanky girls, because it's so easy for them to find clothes that don't make them look smutty.

5) I can get away with doing next to nothing to keep my arms and legs in good shape - literally. Just climbing a steep set of stairs in school to get between classes keeps my calves solid as rock. But I believe my belly will forever hold traces of beer, and I've decided I'm quite alright with that.

6) I procrastinate all the time. If I tell myself to do my work, I'll end up watching 4 straight hours of tv. On the other hand, if I tell myself to go ahead and have fun and let loose for a while, I'll end up feeling guilty the entire time and telling myself that "I really should get back to work". Never satisfied, that's the problem. Pfft.

I tag..... Liam, Joey, StephButt, Alyssa, Someone Possibly Named Iskandar and Someone Possibly Named Mike (you two really should tell me your names, you know)

Also, I'm not really liking I, Lucifer so far. In an act of defiance, I picked up Wicked by Gregory MacGuire when I was out a couple of weeks ago, but then I felt guilty. so I'm going to force myself to get through as much of the former this weekend as possible, before starting on the latter.

Also also, school isn't so bad...... yet. And my friend had to draw a family tree for one of his classes. He's 24. That made me laugh a lot.

Also also also, I really want to get a new camera. Just a little point and shoot one, mostly for general cam-whoring when I'm out with my girlfriends, but also sometimes for things like parties, sports matches, maybe landscapes and portraits. Not anything fancy, because I don't do serious photography often at all, but still good enough to be used for that when I do put my mind to it. Any suggestions? I don't have a very large budget either. Thanks in advance, guys.

I haven't been writing lately. One of these days I'll go through all my old stuff and see if I can't get inspired again. It's not so much that I don't have anything to say, as it is that I'm just enjoying feeling these feelings. I'd like to savour them for a little while longer, before I try sharing them with you all.

The power of orange knickers
The power of orange knickers
The power of orange knickers
Under my petticoat
The power of listening to what
You don't want me to know

Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
Those girls that smile kindly then rip your life to pieces?
Can somebody tell me now am I alone with this?
This little pill in my hand and with this secret kiss
Am I alone in this...

A matter of complication
When you become a twist
For their latest drink
As they're transitioning

Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
This little pill in my hand that keeps the pain laughin'
Can somebody tell me now a way out of this -
That sacred pipe of red stone could blow me out of this kiss
Am I alone in this...

Shame shame time to leave me now
Shame shame you've had your fun
Shame shame for letting me think that I would be the one

Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
This little pill in my hand or this secret kiss
Am I alone in this kiss
Am I alone in this kiss


<sub>My nails are dirty.

Please come home soon.</sub>

In the meanwhile, I have a huge presentation tomorrow, midterms to study for, and my heart still isn't showing up under my username.

I still want to share lots of love with everyone ]]> ~nesarcy http://nesarcy.deviantart.com/journal/10031966/ http://nesarcy.deviantart.com/journal/10031966/ Sun, 10 Sep 2006 18:42:55 PDT
2) If I know you and adore you, and you have a myspace account, add me!

3) Spread some random love around the place. A lot of people have been under a lot of stress lately, or facing intense shittiness in their lives. I know that when I'm having a bad couple of weeks, random acts of love cheer me up considerably.



_{P.S. Los&Liz are the cutest thing ever
well, after my boy, that is.}


-----------------------------

4) Late night bets made under the influence of mushy-brain-syndrome caused by too much work done throughout the day, sexual brain wracking, and dangerously dancing around the word love - love, love, love - it's delicious to say that as freely as I feel it, but oh what fun your games can be
Pondering over a problem for weeks, working on it till 6 hours before your deadline, finally giving up, going to bed, and then having an Eureka moment where it all fits together and seems so damn easy -

And above all that, having someone to come back to. Or, in my case, because I'm so lucky, having someones to come back to, after going through the meat grinder.

- Today, probably because I'm so sleep deprived, I think maybe sometimes Life does throw all sorts of shit your way just to force you to see all the good there can be if you'd only take some notice.

Sandy is happy. She hopes you are too.

Was listening to the news on the radio, and they were speaking about a drug that heroin addicts use to help them overcome their addiction. What cracked me up was that apparently, in the 4 years that this drug has been available for use, over 400, 000 heroin addicts have become addicted to it.

My mind goes blank and my eyes shine
and the tears fall to my smiling lips
and my tongue sneaks out to catch a salty taste
of all my body will let me show the world
of what you gave to me, of all I couldn't give to you.

Sometimes it takes for a good thing to be gone before you realise
just how much you can't do without it.
I wish we were Romantics
so I could write each thought on a little slip of paper,
put them in a jar and give it to you when I finally do see you again.
Because having so many things to tell you is such a foreign feeling
Like saying no to chocolate, or not being afraid of heights,
or seeing you and not feeling my tummy dive into an Olympic-medal-worthy gymnastic routine.

You are not a perfect man, but you drive me crazy
and I will gladly trade these days that are free of arguments and disappointments
just to be able to kiss you.
Because I want, always, so much, to kiss you,
and then to open my eyes and see yours laughing at me.

Despite my best efforts, I seem to have fallen in love with you.
So come back and make me angry, so I'll fall out of love again
and we can do what we came here to do - make love without the love,
fuck, without the brusqueness the word brings with it.

And when I try to explain to the insignificant wonderers
that I don't belong to you, as much as I'd like to,
and that it's not for lack of desire on either side,
watch as my heart and my brain twist
into shapes which turn the India Rubber Man green
Because how can I explain, what I myself cannot understand.

You can't have me till I give what you want,
and I can't give, till you've had me.
So let's look up at the sky, admire the moon, mock the crowds,
vacuum our cigarettes into our systems as we remind each other
I-quit-smoking-But-don't-hog-that-lighter-Now-pass-the-smokes-You-should-quit-too,
and let me steal glances, and demand kisses, in the safe confines of our cars.
And when I get home from that temporary fix, only to drop ever deeper,
Let me remember.

_{sigh. I hate when I get all sappy and loveydovey. I keep trying to bring myself out of this funk. As of now, I'm still down, but I refuse to let it bother me for too long.} ]]> ~nesarcy http://nesarcy.deviantart.com/journal/8840350/ http://nesarcy.deviantart.com/journal/8840350/ Mon, 22 May 2006 00:45:34 PDT
It's laying on a lumpy mattress in a sleazy hotel with neon lights, with heavy curtains that hide dusty windows which look down on hookers and drug addicts, watching Boston Legal on a tv set that probably wouldn't fetch enough money in a pawn shop to buy ourselves supper, scratching your back while you snore into my shoulder.

It's sinking deep into a too-plush-to-be-comfortable red couch, drinking watery beer, watching ugly lesbians clumsily grope each other at the bar, over the back of a guard dog that's almost definately foaming at the mouth, while you hold your phone in one hand talking business, and your other hand is around my waist.

It's in an abandoned trailer park, listening to 80's hits in a car with the windows up and the aircon off, sweating from the stuffiness and humidity of it all, while you sneeze into your umpteenth tissue and mumble into my ear that it's still too cold, and that you don't feel good, and I stroke your forehead as the fever slowly burns you to delirium and back.

It's any place on Earth, as long as your arms are around me. You are my happy place, past this fence of fear.

Where is your happy place? ]]> ~nesarcy
