where my ass will be in May

Greece.

Specifically my ass will be in Mykonos, Santorini, and Athens.

Even more specifically it will be there from May 7-17.

I paid for it last week.

Of course there is a convoluted story to go with the booking and finalizing of it, but I'm tired of the convolutedness. I'll just say, I didn't mean to actually book and pay for it when I did (there has been a definite mind, body, brain, awareness that has been lacking with me) and I proceeded to freak-out immediately following the point, click, paid process. See, I hadn't finalized with my prof if I could go. I had purchased the, "cancel for any reason" insurance. And yes, that is literally what it is called. But, believe it or not, I cannot, in fact, cancel for any reason. I just kept telling Abby, that was the girl on the phone who I was trying to be calm and rational with, that it really needed to be renamed cause something called, cancel for any reason leads me to believe that I can, in fact, cancel for any reason.

Anywho...

I'm going. Barring hell or high water, which the way my life has been going for the past several months wouldn't be a stretch, my ass will be on a beach, in the ocean, meandering through ancient ruins in May. I also really want to make a weekend in New York the weekend before I leave, but I need another $500.00 to make that happen. Any takers? Or I guess it would really be, any givers. Anyone?

Hello?

So yeah. As of right now and for the past couple of days I've gotten over myself and I am picking myself up. Of course there is a convoluted story to go with that as well, but I'll save it for another day.
Thanks all, for listening to me over the past months. Really, thanks.

Jay: Oh why thank you, Babydoll! I am finally letting myself get excited about the whole trip. Whoo-hoo! Look at me in a strange land all by myself! Let the stories commence!

Will: No. July. That's where my ass will be in July, not May.

Greece sounds excellent.

Grease also sounds excellent and some creative use of it could probably get you that $500 you're looking for.

So.... How big is your suitcase and how much will I have to bend to fit into it?

Greece is damn lucky to have your fine ass in it, that's for sure.
