travels with beautiful_day (warning: slightly random post):p

Here I am..12:43 am...sitting at a computer...in a spare bedroom lit by a desk lamp that creates shadows on the walls...listening to the rain pour down outside...in the top apartment of a flat in Porthcawl, South Wales...i drove here this morning from coventry...141 miles exactly...its my cousins place...ive drank rum and coke, guiness, carling and real ale among other things tonight so im in a nice relaxed mood....It feels strange being in a different place, and country, to what im used to at home...Im now off to attempt to meditate, it makes me fall asleep quickly...i havnt been on hipforums much lately...found out the dole have put about 90 quid in the bank for me, which is nice of them really...I have two friends that are in Genova in Italy at the moment, camping out for 2 weeks....it just made me think of how i want to go travelling, in the uk or abroad, with some basics like a tent and my Ray Mears guide to wilderness survival....its the perfect opportunity now that i'm on the dole in between jobs...maybe go sometime in November, in a country like Spain, Italy or France for a week or so?

Would anyone else be interested in joining me in this camping expedition ?!?
or have any advice, camping stories, random trivia or michael jackson jokes to offer??

 

Aka drunk

Ok then...

According to lawyers representing him,
Michael Jackson is to enter a plea bargain
later this afternoon.

He will plead guilty as long as he can
go to borstal.

And thanks...I miss you too. Glad to know you're having such a wonderful time without me.

Thanks for emailing too...really appreciate it...I suppose making a thread on some forums you barely go on any more is more important than emailing your girlfriend like you said you would.

Oh...and I have school all through November so I definitely can't go...and I don't have a passport either...but I suppose that's the point isn't it?

 

Boo hoo! I have college!

But I could join you at October half term for a week....maybe take a week off college before or after that to give me 2 weeks free...probably 22nd Oct untill the 7th November. I'm game for an adventure around then Maybe south of France...

 

you're in college already? what year?

 

#

Me?! Going into 2nd year in Sept

 

Ummmm..... isn't that just a teensy weensy bit insensitive considering Alomiakoda's post? Just a thought.

 

Hey man, i recomend south of france but i went in summer and it was lovely, andorra up in the mountains was great and then spain was wonderful too.

All i can say is have a wonderful time and also 2 weeks isnt as long as youd think that how long we spend out there... and iwish we could have stayed traveling
But next summer if u decide to go then once i outa uni again for summer ill be up for traveling uk with you for a bit, living in a tent or two or summat. Maybe Eryka can come along then too and Jc and it could be like a mini hippy convoy

 

I apologise if I seemed insensitive, I didn’t mean to at all. I didn’t realise that it stopped me from offering my companionship.

I'm sorry Erykah.

 

It doesn't stop you, of course. Now I don't know the details, so I'm not making any judgements.... but supposing your b/f was ignoring you, and other girls were offering to go travelling with him in Europe..... I don't imagine it'd feel too good. Just a thought.

 

He asked for anyone who fancied a trip to let him know. He did not specify a gender. And if he is ignoring his girlfriend then thats his problem. Unless his girlfriend is the jealous type I don't see a problem wth him travelling with other girls. Nor do I see a problem with them harmlessly offering their company. Get a grip.

 

Oh right, of course. Yeah, you're totally right. It's nobody elses business. We shouldn't actually care about other people's feelings. How stupid of me!

Again, I'm sorry. I'm obviously being stupid. I thought emotions were complicated things that should be handled with a degree of sensitivity, but clearly I was wrong. Emotions are very simple and we should pay no heed to them. Thank you for putting me straight on that.

Pay attention, cock jockey. Did I say there was a problem? No. What I said was that it was a teensy weensy bit insensitive. Get your facts straight beofre opening your poorly informed mouth.

 

What would have been more insensitive would be if she had said "I will not come with you because you need to treat your girlfriend better". What the hell are you on about it IS no one elses business!! Their relationship is theirs, and sure, other people can be sympathetic and supportive when there is a problem, but those problems can only be solved by the couple themselves.
You may not have said there was a problem with her offering her company, but it was certainly heavily implied. If that was just my misinterpretation, then I'm sorry. But I stick by my first thoughts: Back the hell off.

 

Indeed. So maybe just pming the offer of companionship would have been a more sensitive option, for example.

Ummm... right. That's why she's posting about it in a public forum.

Bollocks. I don't 'heavily imply' things. I explicitly state them. If I wanted to say that I thought something was out of order or a problem, then that's what I say. If I say "teensy weensy", I mean "teensy weensy". Don't blame me if you insist on reading a subtext into my comments that was never there.

Apology acepted.

Hey. Guess what? Public message board! Think I'll carry on expressing my opinion......

 

Well I agree with you there, but it's obvious she's hurt, and so it's understandable that she wants to express that. It's also why it might be nice to tread with a little extra sensitivity. See, that's why I said Xiola was beeing a teensy weensy bit insensitive... not because I thought she was out of order, but because it's nice to just be a tad more sensitive when someone's hurting. It doesn't cost us anything.

 

Yeah I understand that sensitivity is needed around people who are hurting. They deserve comfort and understanding. I just dont think Xiola was being very insensitive by offering to accompany him, thats all. I dont see how she could've been more sensitive about saying she would go with him. Even if she had pm'ed him, his girlfriend would still have found out eventually that she had offered.

 

Thing is Eryka posted how she felt, and then people totally ignored her and went on to offer their support to her boyfriend's plans. Now how do you reckon that would make you feel in her position? It's a shit world when we just do what we want and don't think about how it affects other people.

Like I said though, I did just think it was a teensy weensy bit insensitive. I wasn't suggesting Xiola was backstabbing Eryka or being a bitch or anything.

 

1 reason for not posting private things on forums.

But I get what you mean.

 

Yeah, I agree that posting stuff like that on public forums is usually a bad idea. Hey! We're agreeing! Gotta love communication

 

I'm not so argumentative usually



......No thats a lie, I totally am
