Having finally escaped the frustrations of trying to get my mother and aunt not to talk all the way through Wall-e- (at the end after my aunt complained that she didn't know what I saw in it, "But did you see the little robot that followed Wall-e around cleaning up his tracks? He's so cute!" "No I didn't see him! When was he?" "Um. Through about half the movie? And when John fell out his hover-chair and Wall-e tried to push him back in!" "...When was that?!" "...Well you did see Wall-e tell the cockroach to sit before he got on the rocket yeah?" "No, I thought he was with him on the ship?!"

...This is why I should just Not Bother)

- anyway, now I have to go and book my Uluru trip and a few of my hostels in NZ. I'm currently transferring all my music over to Beaver the netbook so I can refill my iPod shuffle (Twinkle) every so often. I'm also putting Black Books and Merlin and maybe some 'Who on here too but I don't have nearly enough room for everything and I can't decide. Plus I want to dl Primeval etc while I'm over there so I'll need more space free and oh, I don't know. Maybe I'll stick a series of Scrubs on because that never gets old.

Tomorrow (uh, actually today) I need to pack and write out my day-by-day plan complete with addresses and preferably with Googlemaps to hostels and such (trust me, I need them.) I'll post my Final Dates and Times for the people I'm staying with later hopefully and y'all can maybe suggest the best way for me to get from wherever I am to you? :)

chickybee32, can you email me your address? Both for my parents who're demanding to know my precise whereabouts at all times* and IN CASE *touch wood* my luggage goes walkies so I can tell them where to send it when it turns up. Also mayakitten, I don't think I have your new address? Can you email it to me at cloudymagicjh at googlemail.com? irradiatedsoup and acityofwonder I think I have yours right? Unless you've sekritly moved to get away from the crazy British invasion. ;) acityofwonder, I'm in Brisbane between Wednesday April 22nd and April 29th (I meant to be there longer but I don't seem to have enough time to do everything *sad*) so are there any days that're best to come out and see you or for you to come hang out in Brisbane...? My tendancy-to-panic-and-get-lost-if-not-organised side is niggling because I haven't booked a hostel there yet.

I need to clear and charge the camera (note to self: find and pack charger). Organise what I'm actually taking from the pile of clothes I've been throwing on top of my backpack for two weeks with the vague notion of 'that might be useful! I'll need it if it rains/is sunny/snows/there's a rain of frogs etc.' Reprint all my documents including a photocopy of my passport because Merc, I'm leaving the second copies with you because they''ll get to me faster if Shit Happens and I need them posted, rather than from teh Britains. Possibly you'll assume my identity but since I'm broke already and taking over the world in my name would just put me in charge anyway, I have no worries. ;-)

I'm not organised yet but it's entirely possible that I can be. Maybe. It's slightly terrifying that tomorrow TODAY is my last full day in the UK for two and a half months. Maybe I should write DON'T.PANIC. in big letters on my hands for the flight. Or run out and buy The Hitchhiker's Guide omnibus tomorrow which would probably be more soothing.

Right. Stopping panicking. Focus. Yes.


*I kind of want to do Australia in detail down to the minute, then title a page GO TO NEW ZEALAND... and then the next one ...*STUFF HAPPENS* to get payback for the yelling and the fights we've had this week but it's not worth the extra fights it'd start. The other side of the world is hardly far enough at this point.
