What's Next?

Let Me Feel You Up, Upside Down

I'm finally up to the normal eating habits. Well, not "normal", but healthier and smaller portions. I guess the gastro is good for something. For those unfamiliar with French intestinal diseases, gastro is what everyone in Northern France gets a million and five times in their lives. This year I have probably had it 3 times, this last one being the real doozy. Doozie? Not even close? No idea. Not important! What is important is that I can finally eat again!

I'm tired. And I'm bored. I really hate to complain about this fact, honestly, I do. Especially now that it's all almost done and the weather (for today at least) is nice, and Cannes is within sight. But I am incredibly bored with life here. I was sitting here for 5 minutes before consenting to getting online for the 8th time today, thinking, what did I do in the States if I got bored? Here is the list I came up with:

1) Hang out with friends (those are SO nice to have, I swear I will never take friendship for granted. Not that I really did before, but beware, I'm going to be so incredibly social when I return, you'll be paying me not to hang out with you).

2) Drive a car somewhere

3) Have a telephone conversation

4) Speak English

5) Watch TV in English

6) Force my brother into hanging out with me

7) Go to Starbucks

8) Wash my car...oh car...

9) Talk to my mom

10) Read Cosmo (in English)

11) Go for a walk with my dad

12) Work and enjoy it!

13) Write (that talent seems to have disappeared in the last 7ish months)

14) Go to Happy Hour

15) Go to a sporting event (I miss baseball)

So that's it for now. It all might look trivial and not that fun but right now I'd give anything to go out and wash my car. Or even mow the lawn. Or watch my brother mow the lawn. Oh! I thought of something else! Baking! I miss baking cookies, brownies, banana bread, etc. And it's not even because I got to eat it afterward, it was usually for other people. Sigh. Instead I'm sitting here in France waiting for Eve to call me (happens more than one would think) and am about ready to just fuck all plans for the day to sit and pout. But I'm going to be a big girl.

But I am slightly annoyed. I want to be in Cannes and have it not rain and meet some celebrities. I want a tan, or at least a little bit of coloring. I don't want to look like the third wheel (which I'm afraid looks like it's going to happen. It's almost nauseating). But this is my vacation and I'll do what I want to do, go where I want to go. After being alone in Ireland for a good amount of time I'm fine with traveling alone.

In other news, Mike is going to be able to make it here at the end of June and be able to go to Spain and Italy with me. I'm excited to see him, another sarcastic person for me to finally hang out with! I think that's why I miss Katie so much. We kept each other's bitchiness in line. No one is here to do that for me, so I'm like uber cynical bitch now. And the funny thing is, I almost like it. It's way better than being overly sensitive, dependent-on-others Caitlin.

Take it or leave it, buddy!
