I love how in all of my Austrian identification, I used the same photo of me- where I look smug and like I’m trying not to laugh. Discount on mass transit card? Check. Austrian visa? Check.

Where I Slept →

My homeless year began early October 1985 and ended in the last day of August 1986. I was thirteen, and then fourteen, and it’s a story I’ve never told in part because I slept so many different places that year. I slept in the broom closet of a friend’s apartment building. The closet was just inside the entryway, past the eight slotted mailboxes. It was the size of a single bed, crowded with mop...

joolsandnigel asked: Hey, you! No worries. I'm always good for any kind of questions, especially travel questions. I'm a bit confused as to what you're asking me, but I'm guessing it is if those layovers are normal? Like having such a long layover? If that's the case, then yes ma'am they are. Especially if you want the cheaper flights. Which my family excels at finding. Almost every trip...

Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving, to those who celebrate, and especially to my fellow ex-pats. Thanksgiving has never been a holiday that resonated with me- it always rang a bit false, and had more than its share of bitter disapointments. So, sitting where I am, in the Alps, far from my family, and the majority of my friends, I don’t feel as if I’m missing out something. Well, the traditional...

]]>joolsandnigel replied to your post: Guess who’s going to Vienna? UGH THE SCHENGEN. I feel your pain. Good luck! Thanks love. It may be squared away, but won’t know for sure until tomorrow.

Guess who's going to Vienna?

Tonight. Last minute. To ask the US Embassy what the fuck, and how t quickly get a visa before mine under the Schengen runs out and I’m faced with seirous fines and being unable to leave the country and come back and all the drama, even though I’ve waited 8 weeks for my damn criminal background check. Ugh. Needing some love, people. Letters appreciated. Plus, I’ll send one...

She’s blonde. Harlot something. Me: A blonde harlot? What are you talking about? Mom: She’s very famous. She’s married to the...
