Unpacking my baggage

Kathy & Maria - photo shoots from the earlier photography assignment. I AM LEAVING SOON. This is meant to be the experience of my lifetime. I will never be almost 20, naive and scared shitless, and about to work in some country I know close to nothing about (besides that Dracula and dragons live there) again. I will be flying to Romania on Wednesday. Seven weeks. So obviously, I made a gigantic list of things to do in preparation. A list of things to chase up for the trip, a list of things to do for the AIESEC committee in Romania, a list of things to do for Uni when I have to come back, a list of things to pack, a list of things to buy, a list of things to print out...I AM DROWNING IN MY LISTS! Then I look at my lists and I just get so overwhelmed, I decide to go watch some TV instead (The Millionaire Matchmaker if you were wondering. Uh yeah, I have a penchant for reality shows). By the time my day's over, I'm sitting here and still left with all my stupid lists. This S...

I love the night life but it's weighing me down. But hey, I know I must have done something right when at the end of a drunken high, I'm not crashing into a mess of emo goo. No wailing and sob stories coming out, just general intoxicated bliss that results in deep sleep by...

So let it be known: I am a loud, giggly, outrageous drunk. I am also a serial drunk communicator. I will talk to you about everything and tell my entire life story if you'll listen to me. I'll feel the need to contact anyone on my mind and confront them about some invisible, non-existent 'issues' as such. Or I'd just talk for the sake of it. Somebody should seriously consider signing a permanent contract with me. "Whenever Kimberly goes out in public and decides to consume alcohol, please confiscate her phone, laptop and pretty much any other mode of communication she can get her hands on." Maybe even snail mail. You never know, I could randomly decide to write a letter about how I feel and go post it... It's not a pretty sight...the breakdown that is. I'm a tool. I wish I were back here. This time in my life; this place in my life. Dawn. Good morning to life. Shot in the Vietnam countryside. Dawn is so beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. B...
