h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

To go, or not to go, that is my question. I *want* to go, I can probably afford it, but its the prospect of getting there, getting around while i am there and getting back. Its all a little scary, the person that was *maybe* going to come with me, I am not currently talking to, so unless I can find someone to take me under their wing traveling wise, Im afraid that I may chicken out of what would be a very big adventure.

In other news, My parents are going to Hawaii in October, apparently its high time they had a Honeymoon (well hey have waited 17 years) and they want to get away from me and my sisters (even though my older sister and I have flown the nest ( ok I go back intermittently)) So I get to look after younger sister (who will be 16) for a few days.

My iPod and the Shiny (yet to be named) have now made friends, and I am listening to Stephen Fry Podgrams as I type. Unfortunatly my hearing has gone all stupid and muffly (both ears at once) so anything I am listening has o be at a much higher volume than normal. As such I am a daner to myself and others if I am out and about. Had to get Dave to bring me back here earlier as I didnt feel at all safe walking home on my own, at least one out of sight and hearing is required to cross roads, currently I am severely lacking in both. Its ok though because I cant go out anyway as I have gone and left my keys at my parents house so they shall hopefully be arrivng very soon!

My mum was pestering me while I was home about my birthday (I turn 21 in June) 'what do you want' I honestly dont *need* anything, but I left her a wee list of a few things that I would *like* and iseas of the prices, so maybe she will get a hint from there.

Anyway enough for now.

You could've said airfare to California, and seen how she would've responded

Why not post to the London Meet page, and see about travelling companions?

Because that requires being sensible, and having anyone thats within a non scary tavelling distance from me who is going (don't think there are any)

My mum *did* ask if I wanted a holiday fir my birthday, but then took the offer back saying "but me and dad dont have the money for our holiday, let alone anybody elses"

I see

I'm sure if you can get yoruself to the train, or bus, at your end, and find out the arrival time/destination, we can find an internet weirdo to meet up with you at the train/bus station and escort your to the err wherever it is we're going Though you'd probably want ccomidation for the night somewhere, I think there were a few offers of rooms for free being bandied about somewhere ... which reminds me, I must* get the page updated and such like, I've not yet 'found my feet' since my longer than anticipated break
