sueeeus

Lest there be an explosion in Australia.

Continuing with the season of indulgence for which there is no end on the horizon, I, sueeeus maximus, do hereby make this most auspicious announcement, oh Internets, of my intent to sojourn to the vast and glorious land of Oz, to visit my friend of many many years, the famous and well-beloved of many bloggers far and anon, Suse In The Soup. Yes, I must experience first hand a glimpse of life in a mud-brick house.

February, 2008.

Lack of courage notwithstanding, I might venture forth to meet and greet some of the fine bloggers of the southern hemisphere. I am much more timid in the flesh, so this may take some coaxing.

Meanwhile, I have from now until then to, uh, let me see…

• plan
• gather courage
  • courage to leave my BBC
  • courage to fly (it is, statistically speaking, one of the safest forms of transportation)
  • courage to visit a foreign land
  • courage to interact with people away from the safety of my computer screen
  • courage to meet new people, real people, alive, in the flesh. Oh dear Lord. Real people.
  • courage to leave my BBC
  • courage to leave my BBC
  • courage to leave my BBC
• dispel guilt
  • guilt over leaving my BBC
  • guilt over wanting to do this alone, without bringing Mr. Gadget
  • guilt over leaving my BBC
  • guilt over leaving my BBC
  • guilt over leaving my BBC
  • guilt over leaving my BBC
• plan
  • plan, plan, plan
  • where to go, what to see, what to pack, what to wear, what to bring, electrical considerations, customs considerations, etc etc etc

I leave this post, oh dear Internets, trembling and quaking in excitement, fear, and trepidation all.
