Confessions of a Wandering Gypsy Princess

I was about to write a post about the weekend. it was awesome, (as well as a little surreal) to visit a friend from home in Germany. It is ok when people come to visit me, but visiting them in the fatherland is just a little weird for full comprehension. [...]

I am physically and emotionally exhausted after 2 days of back to back to back lessons with a chain school and my own privates. The weekend in Dortmond was well worth the 5 hour drive and more posts about that are to come. Or as much as I can manage I [...]

Sorry I have not had much to say of late that has not been spurred on by a financial contribution to get the creative juices flowing. Or not so creative depending on who you are. BUT in truth I have not much to say that is not along the lines [...]

I am having problems with link verification again. This happens every so often and it really does suck because say what you will about paid posting, I am living in Europe AND paying off my debt AND heading off to the Ukraine in September. I personally like all these benefits. I do [...]

Pride week is happening this week! Check out the schedule here: St. John’s Pride Week
The ever lovely, divine, and one of my favorite sex goddess of all time Kelly Hickey will be attending. Dont forget to read her blog In Eve’s Defense.

I miss my friends.    Love you!

My dad has one. He used it for hunting rabbits and threatening the males I dated (considering the less than threatening boys I usually date I think it was more for his sadistic pleasure). And sadistic pleasure today has been. Forget losing my keys. Forget being locked out and then [...]

My cousin emailed me this lovely article:

Broken student loan program makes millions on the backs of students: critics
First off anyone with a problem with paid posting can be sent straight there. Second off, WARGLE. Well at least someone outside of a student newspaper addressed it. My STUDENT loan [...]

I just got the most awesome of voice mail messages. My mom bought me the new Harry Potter. No plunking down Euros and almost being murdered by little German kids trying to get it first and who insist they can read English just so that they can read the book. [...]

I have been traveling for 7 years now. The very first time I ever left Canada I was 20 and it was on a summer study abroad program organized by the Russian department at my university (not that we accomplished much in the studying department ). We spent 4 weeks [...]

And you thought my pug obsession was over. HA!
I now love everything Harry Potter (even the new movie) based strictly on this photo of his supreme mugsyness, the Ayatollah Mugsy with his Harry Potter glasses.
I wonder if his holiness will join the newest craze gripping Facebook, Dogbook. Could Shaq and Roxie be [...]

I feel only so so about the new Harry Potter movie. I was so looking forward to it, and now I feel a little let down. It is true that they stuck to the book nicely, but the result was that the movie was a little too disjointed for me. The book [...]

I must be crazy but of late I have been thinking about taking one or two online courses from my university. You would think that after my Masters I would run far far away from studying. But I find myself missing studying, and if I were to register at a German university I [...]

Despite my best efforts to stay home tonight and do nothing, all this Harry Potter talk is killing me, and so I just agreed to go see it. I am just waiting for Patrick to finish up and then I am off to see the movie like just about every other [...]

Last night after training the group went out for drinks.  Prior to leaving the building I was given a private lesson for this morning at 10 am.  If your wondering why I would be so insane to take it after 2 weeks of insanity it was because it also paid 2 hours of transport time.  [...]

Patrick and I share the internet.  As in we have a wireless connection.  If we had to share wireless there would be literally a mutiny in this house.  A Linksys router keeps a certain semblance of balance in out house. 
Tonight we went out with the other teachers.  it was the most fun I [...]

Dear Sean and Kelli,
There are many reasons why if you are going to get married (which with dog, house and ring, I’m assuming you are ) you should get married in Hawaii. Here is why (all taken from Things to do in Hawaii, or an insiders tips):
It is beautiful! [...]

So after bubbling brains, and a phone call from my mum to say she is healing but not allowed back to work until at least September (as well as some description of exactly what the doctors did to her hip and her neck that made me cringe), I am feeling a little homesick and [...]

As a chronic emailer (I am even shamefully falling behind on those promised written letters as well, but a number did go out, WITH chocolate!), I admit to forgetting people still use fax machines. The other day a student asked if they could fax me some material. I have to admit I do [...]
