Guys! Guys. An academic conference on Diana Wynne Jones. Diana Wynne Jones! That's so badass! I want to go!

I knooooow. Why don't I live in England???

I... might go anyway. I WANTS IT. Also because for my 21st my parents said they might be able to give me an overseas trip and I've been unable to decide when or where I want to go - this is a good when and England is not a bad where at all.

AND it's right in the middle of my mid-semester break. *wants it*

Ahhhh. Hates.

Particularly since I'm in the U.S. and y hallo thar everyone is poor right now, no overseas for me.

:( the whole world is poor right now, sigh. But I figure it's a year away, I can save :P

Right now I'm just worried about college :( I got really good aid but I'll still be a good $35,000 in debt when I graduate if I don't pay part of my loans during school.

Hokay, so guess what? I talked to my stepmum about it and she said that we should keep our eyes peeled for ways to get me over to England because she thinks it would be totally worth it! And she's the one with the rich family :D

*twirls MADLY* Hells yeah! :D :D :D

(And re college debt: I hear ya. I'm like $28k in debt right now and I'm not done yet, you know? Argh.)

And then we could meet each other finally! Yay!

(Ugggghhh I know. It is scary and gross. Hopefully the economy will start to turn around in about 2010 though because we WILL have President Obama and he will deliver and fix shit and I will make lots of money because orchestras will have excellent salaries because people will have extra money to spend on the arts. < / rant >)

I-- I want to go to that so bad. Can you go to a conference if you're not specifically invited? Because it's actually feasible that I might be able to be in the vicinity of England around that time. And it would MAKE MY LIFE.

Sure, as a guest, who else is going to listen to presented papers? You should go! I'm definitely hoping hard to!

Whether or not I can go is dependent on whether or not I get into the study abroad programmes I'm applying to next year-- travel within Europe is much easier than transcontinental travel-- but I really want to go.

*crosses fingers for you* I'm sure you will!

That is SO badass.

I think that's a neat idea for a 21st trip :D

I know, right?!

Me too. I'm kind of excited. My dad thinks it's feasible so...

Oh I want to go so much.

Come with me! I'm pretty much definitely going! It's right in mid-semester break! Try to get a travel scholarship or something!

Oh man, I wish. The money makes it somewhat problematic though.
