In my dream last night, Perez Hilton was killed in a fire. 

I don't even follow him.

Anyone still here?

Celtic Jewel organized an AMAzING gathering of PCFs in the summer of 2002, held in Minneapolis, MN. We all had a great deal of fun spending the weekend together and I look back fondly on the memories (despite some drama that came from it.)

I am interested in hosting another PCF Frolic!! This time, I'd like to give more than one year's notice so that people can plan for and save for the gathering. I propose the gathering to be in the summer of 2006.

Since I live in Canada, I am also interested to see who might be willing to come all the way to Calgary, Alberta for the gathering. Things will be much easier to organize for me if it's local. map

Also, is anyone interested in assisting with the planning?

Dear God,
Is Reverend Coe a friend of yours, or do you just know him through the business? Donny

Dear God,
In Sunday School they told us what you do for a job. Who does it when you are on vacation? Jane

Dear God,
In school we read that Thomas Edison made light, but in Sunday School they said you did it first. Did he steal your idea? Sincerely, Donna

Dear God,
I do not think anybody could be a better God than you. Well, I just want you to know that. I am not just saying that because you are already God. Charles

Dear God,
It is great the way you always get the stars in the right place. Why can't you do that with the moon? Jeff

Dear God,
I am doing the best I can. Really. Frank

Dear God,
I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday night. That was really cool. Thomas

Memories of Perth-

no public toilets in restaurants or cafes, well that's not just Perth that's most of Australia

free buses through town

kids in uniforms everywhere, including the backpacks

"trading" hours

Hi all, I've been horrible at updating here I know. I just always seem to update the other journal. not sure why I have 2 anymore, except for being sentimental about what I had written here since the beginning of my livejournal days. Maybe one day I will transfer all of it to one place... lol when I have a lot of time on my hands, which seems like never!

It's a gorgeous day in Perth, I was up with the birds and took the Yellow Cat to East Perth where I had a nice toasted croissant and mochacino in a little streetside cafe, while reading the paper and watching the hunks in the construction site across the street.

I have been inspired to write again. A book about my life/my travels. I don't care if you think I can't write. I think I can. (that's just in case nay-sayers and meanies are reading this.) I let the opinions of others on lj quash my hopes before, 2 years ago but this time nothing they say can stop me from finding out more and possibly doing it. And if it is published, I will do a little happy dance in their faces. *snicker*

Ooh, off for a full leg and bikini wax this afternoon. I have never had the bikini area done but am tired of shaving bumps, particularly when wearing a bathing suit, which is why you get rid of the hairs anyway.

Have items to return and pick up before the big trip so I'd better get a move on.

I've somehow just migrated to wandering_stars but I still miss the redheadbarbie. I am way too lazy to frequently update both. I think what I will do is put personal stuff here and travel/public stuff on the other. So this will be mainly friends only.

Somehow, I arrived safely at my hostel in Sydney around 9:45 this morning. It's Tuesday here.

I left Calgary in a tizzy on Sunday morning after getting up at 4am and then having a delay in my flight for three hours (fog in San Francisco, apparently it happens all the time.) Once in San Fran, Bri and Chris swung by to collect me and zip me around the Bay area. We went straight to PJ's for creole brunch and then to the Golden Gate Bridge, took pix, and to Lombard which is that hill that winds like crazy back and forth. the line of traffic to get up for the ultimate drive down was so long and straight up hill (in a standard shift jetta) that we decided to park and hike up and ultimately back down both sides of one of the steepest streets in San Francisco.) After that, we headed to Haight Ashbury for a little drive-by, and I tried in vain to buy some cheap film since I never did buy a digital. Finally I was loaded up again on film and we went to the "painted Ladies", that row of beautifully decorated Victorian Houses from the opening credits of "Full House", that Mary Kate and Ashley show from the 90's. Finally, we were driving down the boardwalk lined with huge Palm trees along Fisherman's Warf. It was sunny but we needed our jackets as we walked through the bustling crowds of tourists and crab shacks, breakdancers and tiny electric rental scooters which reminded me of the coin-operated helicopter I used to like to ride at the Halifax airport when I was a kid. It started to get later and our tummies were grumbling so we ended up at a nice seafood place called Chic's where I had the clam chowder and 1/2 dungeoness crab in garlic butter. A quick drop in to an internet cafe for my bank statement and a wee bag of mini donuts and I was being whisked back to the airport for my overnight flight. Boy did it ever get cold and windy as the fog rolled in! The bright sunset turned into a black and bitter evening.
