The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Well, I am in my housing here at Aberdeen and have to say that it sucks not having internet in my room or even in the building!



I also have to get the laptop configured for WiFi use in the hotspots around the campus.



If I am not around much in the next few weeks - it is just me getting sorted out and launcing my new career.



Oh, and for those of you that dropped my journal because I am too 'dramatic' - I have to laugh at you.



These are the same idiots who get a kick out of stupid tv like Baywatch.



I am not surrounded by Hawkins-like minds here, am I?

YAY!



I made it to Glasgow and am staying with my friends, Scott and Jen at their beautiful flat near the city center. We went to Stirling Castle today and are off to Edinburgh Castle tomorrow.



Scotland is AMAZING - although a bit warm today... ha ha!



I am leaving for Aberdeen on Monday and Scott is giving me his mountain bike to use as he never uses it and it is in storage at his dad's place. He is sticking it on the lorry to have them drop off at the co-op. He is one of the co-op driver managers. Some sort of food distributor place...and Jen works for the Strathclyde Police...so I am being EXTRA careful - lol ;)



Saturday evening Scott has tickets to take me to the Celtic/Rangers football match. Now THAT should be a blast considering how nasty that rivalry is...and Scottiedog is a HOOPS fan. (That means Celts!)



I am really enjoying my stay here - but will be glad to get settled into my digs next week for the upcoming school adventure. Let me just put it this way....PRESSURE SHALL BE MINE!



Vacation is almost over...sigh.



But what a wonderful time it has been.



I recovered my passport and money too = Am I lucky or what? :D

...so gentle reader I have discovered many truths in London after meeting some of the coolest people on Earth at our VR meetup.



1) I plan to grow some funk of my own...



2) London is fucking HUGE...it takes like an hour and a half to get from Heathrow to go to where the VR stuff was happening. No big deal. But what the FUCK is the matter with people NOT talkiing to each other? They act like others around them are non-existent...



Folks, it is ALL about communication. If we talked to each other life would be more beautiful. These people need to get a clue...



3) The Ass Goblin messaged a friend of mine here and told this person (as you will recall I will NOT reveal people's names here - EVER. A Confidence means something to me - and I am an honorable, peaceful person...) that he couldn't be his/her friend because he/she was friends with me.



Dig it.



So get this - I initially contacted the Ass Goblin because I thought he seemed cool..that was ALL. No ulterior motive at all.

And here is the thing...dudes - I had uterine cancer...the last thing I want is to fuck some nobody that I have NEVER met except online - I mean give me a fucking break. I just love making new friends! Honestly...ask the people who met me at this past weekend's stuff. I am a shiny, happy person.I tried to be FRIENDS with the A.G...and he has told folks that I like was "in love" with him...that I had a "crush" on him...{in his dreams}...



As if.



I have better taste than that.





His taste, obviously, is all in his mouth.



Grow up Russell. I wanted to be your friend. And I am probably the coolest ass person you would ever know...and YOU blew it - not me.





Quit telling people that you won't be friends with them if they are friends with "minamurray".



That is the most childish, bullshit, douchebag thing you could EVER do.



Get over yourself....I NEVER hated you. YOU misread my intentions.



I am not making love to ANYONE'S wishes.













I am on my way - I know I am...





(Don't you just love Cat Stevens? I do...Listening to him now.)

Yeah...the time has finally arrived.



This Thursday at around 10:35 a.m. I get on a 777 and leave from Denver International Airport to Chicago where I then land but don't have to change planes - just deplane and walk around O'Hare for three hours (what a thrill that will be...).



Then the plane leaves for London. I arrive at Heathrow at the ungodly hour of 5:55 a.m. Friday morning (last time I checked though the flight was an hour behind schedule...hmmm...) anyway. This may be my last journal entry for a few weeks?- hopefully only days as I do think there is wireless service availabe at the hostel where I am ensconsced in London. But if I can't get on I wish you all pleasant days and enjoyable evenings until I am back with more fun and amusement.



You guys have to realize this has been where I have vented over the net. I am not used to venting in this format. I do it verbally really because I love to talk! (Hear the sound of my own voice is more like it...) I digress (gosh I am great at doing that :D). Nothing I write here is serious to me. Some people are far too touchy and then on the other hand I am too spiteful or whatever. Let me just say this in my defense: I have been through hell thinking I had uterine cancer last August and I am lucky to be alive much less attending a graduate school in a foreign country to do a PhD on their history.



This opportunity means more to me than ANY of you realize.



I have been extremely stressed out over the last few weeks living with my parents and some of my spleen may have been vented here - but this is what a journal is for! Now, I hope to start filling more of these pages with my travels and adventures which some of you that know me are going to be see through my eyes. God And Goddess bless each of you - I love you to pieces and you know who you are...



Still, I love you all (yes, even the damn Ass Goblin...what would life be without my comedic foil? lol) and keep me in your prayers and thoughts as I make my way to a place to which I have never been but feel so wonderful about going to and experiencing...and what I am going to do sometimes even blows my mind. Usually every day I freak out about writing a dissertation!



I'll see you soon and peas. YOU ALL ROCK!
