Global Traveler

Hello and Welcome to my Webpage!

At long last, I am using this wonderful page. I would like to begin with a HUGE thank you to Alex, C and J who gave me this site. It was the best surprise.

Anyway, I am still in the process of learning how to use this and make it interesting so for a while I will only have meaningless stuff to say like to following:

I believe the reason that this site was given to me was because I talk a lot, actually in this case, I write a lot. I always have some witty retort on either Jed or Chase's page, except that they are never witty and rarely are retorts. I suppose my constant presence led them to believe that I needed my own place to voice my view of the world.

Speaking of the world...this page is called Global. So appropriate. Who should I thank for that? Anyway, for those of you who don't know me (and since I am sending this link out to everyone on my list, you probably do know me so this is pointless, except in the lucky-for-me event that word gets out about how fabulous this site is and everyone tells everyone else and it becomes a pop-culture phenomenon that takes the world by storm and I am dividing my time between Regis and Kelly and Conan so that the world can see the brilliance behind Global.) Yes, I actually do speak like that.

Okay, so the page is called Global because I am probably the world's most antsy person. I get bored very easily and enjoy moving. I own no furniture and hate "stuff." There are a few things I always have with me for sentimental value, like the picture my aunt drew me of her polup and some pictures, but other than those, everything else I own is essential and can fit into the acceptable size suitcase for commercial flights. This enables me to move at an unhealthy pace. There was a two year period where I moved every four months. I have lived in four states (not counting the time I thought I was going to live in upstate New York but ditched that idea after four days living in what seemed to resemble where people on the Witness Protection Program are sent) I also spent four months living on a ship, circumnavigating the globe. I have lived with probably every close friend I have and their parents, sometimes when the friend isn't even there. This has enabled me to have a ridiculously large "family" all over the world in addition to the ridiculously large biological family that always seems to pop up wherever I go. Currently, I reside in Connecticut, which is nothing short of hideous. Okay fine, it's beautiful and quaint, blah blah blah, but it is also boring and depressing. I prefer the difficult life of not knowing one single thing about where I am and having almost no means of communication with anyone around me. This is why I am moving to...JAPAN! Yes, next month (if all my paperwork goes through on time, which it isn't so far) I will be off to Osaka, Japan where I can feel even more self-conscious of my size than I already do. Who knows what will happen after that. I tend to make rather spontaneous decisions about where I am moving to next, so it is anyone's guess. The stranger the better, but I am taking a break from winter, so the chances are slim that I would move someplace where snow is involved.

Due to my terminal geographical boredom, I can't promise any regularity to this site whatsoever. In fact, this weekend I am off to Orlando to visit some family and friends. I return to CT the following week only to hysterically sob while J leaves for Seattle. The next week will be split between CT and Albany, where I will be further feeding my depression with a massive pity party with my close friend Lisa as she and I face the horrors of turning a quarter century on the same day. Provided my aging body doesn't give out on me, I will be headed to Arizona with a few friends for a long weekend and then off to Seattle where I can irritate C and J until they kick me out, at which point I will be driving down to San Francisco, one of my favorite places on earth and location for my flight to Osaka. My point is, I have no idea when I will add to this site but I will do my best to entertain my audience (you) with the adventures of my life.

One thing I do promise is to ramble on like this every time I do get to write. All I ask from you is that you pretend to read it all, and more importantly, pretend to enjoy every poorly constructed sentence and compliment me often. You don't really have to compliment me. Okay, yes you do.

I want to introduce myself further to all of you, even though we already know eachother. In the next installments, I will bore you to tears with pictures of places I have been, things I do, and people in my life, including my adorable nephews who are the cutest things on Earth. I am not just saying that because they are my flesh and blood, because I happen to think my brother is repulsive (unless of course, you think he looks like me, in which case, he is a gorgeous, gorgeous specimen of a human), nor am I saying that because all babies are cute. I think most babies are ugly. I also dislike many children. So with absolutely no authority on the subject, I feel I can say with complete objectivity that my nephews are the cutest little men in the world and I am prepared to bombard you with pictures of them in all their cuteness even though no one likely cares.

I would just like to add that this epic introduction is a free write because I wanted to be as much of myself as possible so you can decide right off the bat if you want to ignore me. Just keep in mind, I plan on talking about my friends so you will want to log on every single day so you can see what I say about you.
