As I prepare to embark, I am stressed! I never thought a few months in another country would stress me out this much. I missed an opportunity to hug and kiss my MERMIE one last time last night (Thanks to Brett @ Medjool). That stressed me out.
I have a million loads of laundry to do, and most of all: I CAN ONLY BRING 50 LBS OF LUGGAGE! Now, I know that sounds like a lot, but its not. (The suitcases weigh like 15 lbs alone! I weighed them!) I had to cut down my shoe count from 30 to *significantly less* pairs, and I have unhappily removed a few precious purses from what I call my "Taiwan Selection". You see, I am trying to maintain my American sense of fashion, and not buckle to the "harajuku meets chinese villager" steez they got goin on there. You'd think after a few bad dye jobs, guys would understand that orange mullets are not cute (sorry orange-y mullet dudes). So I have been whittling my collection down to mostly essentials: White J.Crew collared button up, frayed cutoff denim shorts, grandpa-esque long cardigans, vintage tanks and tees, etc.
I will miss my rainbow color-coded closet, with my lovely purses hanging in waterfall order (from longest to shortest in length)...
I know it sounds redic, but this is hard. I express myself through my clothing, and I hope I will be happy with what i've got. If I'm not though, I might just have to spend some time at Taipei 101 or something. ;)
It's only 4 months. It's only 4 months. It's only 4 months. It's only 4 months. It's only 4 months. It's only 4 months.
Clothes can hang in my closet for 4 months, but what about my friends? I will miss you all so. Don't forget about me, be ready to rage when I get back, and HIT ME UP ON SKYPE!!!!! I ONLY HAVE 2 SKYPE FRIENDS! btw my mom calls it "skypie". haha.
Last entry in the USA I think. (unless I get ambitious in SFO)...Do they have WIFI on the plane in the air? hmmmm
Love always.
