INTERNET! OMG I MISSED YOU LIKE NATURE WILL MISS LAUGHING AT MY PAIN

[salienne]

So the past few days, I have been at my uncle's summer house in the country, which was interesting. In short, what I learned in Russia during the past few days:

Day 1: Nature is beautiful and peaceful and cozy and brilliantly complex. Iffy on the outhouses, though. Time to relax.
Day 2: Nature is pretty, still peaceful, still brilliantly complex. I hate outhouses. Must go out and do something.
Day 3: I knew it, I knew it. Freaking spider. In the freaking outhouse. In the pitch-black at 2 AM when I need to pee. Making me go across the property barely able to see past my arm even with the portable lamp, my aunt's warning about kidnappers (seriously) running through my head along with my terror of said spiders and anything else creepy-crawly, only to be stalked by moths in the outhouse and to then make my way back. And huddle in bed. And not sleep. And then have to pee again.

Conclusion: Nature is absolutely wonderful for a day. It is always good on a purely intellectual level. But only if I can spend almost all my time far far away with indoor plumbing and no spiders.

Also, I have many many pictures. They are gorgeous, mainly due to the places here being gorgeous. And I really have to describe the monastery we visited for you guys--so awesome. Definitely must write that post-apocalyptic fic...

ETA: Also, I just checked two medical symptoms I'm having and got two possible causes: anemia or brain cancer.

...Here's hoping it's the former or I'm overreacting?

Eeew spider >.<

But dude.

I was at my bf's house the other night and we were watching Dr. Who because I screamed at him until he left it on.

We were watching it, and then he and his friend begin to berate Rose and call her a prostitute. I ask why for, and their reply was something about how she was the same actress in the adult "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" show on HBO or some shit.

So we put on Secret Diary and while the actress most certainly is NOT Rose, she sure as hell resembles her, and SOUNDS like her.

At that point I had a bottle of blackberry Merlot in my system, and in my drunken haze, I really, really wanted to call you and say something along the lines of "Dude, Rose is a hooker."

But I didn't. Because I remembered you were in Russia, despite the inebriation xD

That's my story. The end <3

Actually, it is the same actress. HELL of a good range, no?

And I got you into Doctor Who. *Dances* XD

And blackberry merlot sounds like it could be really good.

NO. No she is NOT. She is NOT, and therefore I am right and Greg is wrong, damn it >.> <.<

It is good. ^_^ I highly reccomend it, it's tasty if you enjoy wine <3

Well since Rose and Belle are such massively different characters, you can be right in that Rose isn't a prostitute! :P

it's tasty if you enjoy wine <3

...I enjoy sweet wine?

Welcome back! Ick at the spider, though. Spiders are just... urggh.

I hope nothing comes of the symptoms. I sometimes think medical websites are specifically designed to scare us into thinking we're all on the verge of death, but you should get it checked if you're really worried =)

Yeah, spiders terrify me like no other. One phobia I don't feel like getting rid of anytime soon. @_@

And they totally are! I think I'm fine--just website being far less help than it should be.

<3 spiders. :-(

Russia's not going to get strange over U.S. citizens being there if the U.S. issues some sort of rebuke over the Georgia war, are they?

I'm glad it sounds like you're (mostly) having a good time. Can't wait to see the pictures. :-)

Spiders terrify me, I sorry!

And Russia's being fine with the US citizens, the US products, the US tv shows... Russia's a wee bit hypocrtical.

They be purdy pictures. :D
