..I am in my flat.
Connected to the internet.
All is well in Patey's world again.
1) I didn't write about my flatmate yet! (other that the new smells in our living quarters hahaha) Alessandro? The Swiss dude? He's fabulous, and we have a great time together. He's got a HILARIOUS accent (which he mainly says about me and my french, but this is MY blog, so he's the accented one)
We've talked at stupid hours of the night, woken each other up on different ridiculous occasions, seen each other with bed hair, shared soap, spoken to each other's mothers; It is a roomie/flatmate/colloquataire/housemate match made in heaven.
At the moment, we have a bet going on; who's going to get laid first. I've kept it to myself, but he's likely to win, as I doubt I'm as easy as he is...AND he had a head start, seeing as he's met up with a girl he "made out with once" before in Venice or somewhere. Ahhh...the European...they're such inter-european skanks! HAHAHAHHAH
HAHAHAHHAHA
Seriously though. He's respectful, he cleans when I ask him to. He buys detergent when we need it, he doesn't think taking the garbage out is a lot of trouble (although it's really not) and he can reach the really high things in the flat. (Did I mention he's 6'6?! He's a GIANT! we stood next to each other in the mirror in our hallway HAHA it was ridiculous!)
2) I feel like I'm back from a long haitus...I can be comfortable again. Not having the net at home after having it for a while REALLY sucked. It was almost better not to have it at all until now. What stress. THAT and I essentially broke my own heart last week, so it hasn't been a thrilling past week, but I've changed all of that. Time to move on. Anyhow, I have an exciting unforgettable trip coming up! In a few days, I'll be in:
3) EGYPT!
!!!!!!
I know..just random. But you know me. I enjoy random :)
But what I enjoy even more is a good deal.
700$US = round trip from Moscow to Cairo, 7 days 6 nights in a 5 star super hotel.
I'm going to get to see the pyramids!
THE PYRAMIDS!!! DID YOU HEAR ME!?!? THE PYRAMIDS!
damn...I'm excited! hahha
I honestly don't feel like I'm ready for a holiday...I still feel like school just started! What? a holiday?! Then again, I'm not complaining! I definitely won't be when I'm lounging on the beach, or near a pool in the southern hemisphere! (Last I checked, it was 30 degrees in Cairo, but I'll actually be nearer to the sea...)
I'm really happy that I get to go. And for such a great deal too! What luck ...
4) school's still going fabulously. I wish I could talk about my kids here for paragraphs, but I shouldn't...
The other day, I was hanging out with a bunch of people, friends, co-workers and random others...and they were all smoking, and drinking and the thought actually popped into my head; I'd rather be with my kids right now.
I really do love them. It kind of shocks me a little bit how much I love them. How much fun I have at school, and how much I sing and dance stupidly with them. I can't even think about the end of the year when I might have to leave. It'll be so hard.... I could almost cry about it now! AH can't think about it!
5)Ack; I just uploaded a bunch of pictures on facebook of Moscow, and it just panged on me...the magnitude of what I'm doing...how impactful...how impactful already! But not only me, but my friends (who will visit), my family...my brother!! (hi gee:)...it's really nice. It's really good to live this way. Without regrets...just REALLY living the life that I've intended for myself. It's SO good to be alive like this. Hopefully I remember this feeling when I've got no one to meet up with and go home alone. Meh...nothing's ever that bad. There are shitty moments, but there are good ones, and those are the ones to relish in.
I hope all of you that are reading this are well, as I do care about you quite a bit.
Sometimes I write this knowing who will read it, sometimes I guess I'd be surprised to find out who is, but it doesn't matter. The fact that it is being read by people who love me makes me feel a lot less disconnected and alone. Thank you for being a part of my life, even if it is only a small part right now.

Right now I am supposed to be writing all this inspired shit but I would much rather check out what Patey is doing!
How do you break your own heart?? Not fair to hint and then not explain!!
ALso Facebook karma has been creeping in my life...no account, can't see pics of Patey!!! No worries I will hijack someone's account, the boycott continues!
I know I just got back from Europe and all ... but I'm supremely jealous that you're going to Egypt! Oh, and I'm always jealous that you're in Russia!
I hope all is well. I believe I'm going to be thinking about my trip for a very very very long time. It was more than a trip. It was one of the most meaningful things I've ever done. I'm glad you were a part of it!
Remember when I asked Elena about "comrade" and she was all confused? HAHAHA ... shows how ignorant we were about Russia.
Oh, and stop breaking your own heart. There are always people who love you and are thinking about you.
aww...gee..
that last thing almost made me cry! thanks for it.
As for Egypt, hehehhee, yeah, I thought you might be...sorry. I guess I always have to ONE UP you eh!? hahahhahaha naw...you've been tons of places I have yet to see...
hugbots for you, gee!
bess;
I could just give you my password and name. Just don't write stupid comments on my friends' walls hahaha...then again I forget who I'm talking to! AHAAH
as for the heartbreak, well, I basically told asif that I didn't want to talk to him anymore. Which isn't all that true, just best for now. shht, cause he knows of my blog, but I doubt he's reading...anyhow, I'm dying inside at times, but what can you do? I don't want to spend my days like thiw anyway, it's so unproductive. I gotta get to work now. Enough net time for me. I miss you and love you
hugs

Awesome things about Patey and her blog:
1) It usually makes me happy and think that all is well with the world, because really, it's kind of insanely wonderful how things can work out.
2) It usually makes me feel bad because I realize just how good you are at keeping people up to date with things and keeping in touch despite the fact that your life is pretty fracking crazy at the moment. I'm 5 hours away from home and I have a hard time even keeping in touch with my folks.
3) It makes me want to travel. No, it makes me actually want to do it as opposed to keep saying "I want to travel." On that note, the Pyramids for 700$ US? Insert expletive expressing envious incredulity here.
3) Reading your posts is like reading a book. Not to say that if something bad would happen I could distance myself from it and chalk it up to unfortunate fiction. It's more like...to put it in an uneloquent fashion, everything sounds so damn cool.
4) Boston is pretty awesome. The city itself is nice; not as eye-opening and life-changing as Moscow naturally. But it's more that I've come to this point where things are, to be redundant, pretty awesome. Work keeps me stimulated, I keep myself entertained, co-workers tolerate my insanity and sometimes life throws you one of its out-of-nowhere curveballs and it turns out that it's a ball you're really happy to have caught. I'll save that story for our next WICer reunion (mostly to entice you not to ditch North America forever).
Here's to hoping everything keeps on going "pretty awesome".
Cheers!
