Weary Traveller Returns

Well needless to say SF was beyond amazing! It was everything I had hoped for and more. I don't have the time to go into detail, but heres a very brief recap:

- The drive down went quite smoothly with the exception of the flat tire we got in Montana and had to replace at 11:00 pm

- The hostel was nice, and is situated on an old military fort. It was also surrounded by trees, almost like a park

- The pride festivities were insane! There were massive parties (with over 100 000 people) every night and the parade made me cry. It was a very long and very happy parade and I got a little emotional when I saw all the gay and lesbian families going by!

- The weather was fantastic, but a little chilly in the evenings, although I'm told that is normal.

- I spent to much shopping, but I got some nice things and I'm glad I did!

Vancouver:

- I got to meet up with some family friends and we went to the beach to check out hot men. We also played volleyball on the beach and had a lot of fun

- The gay bar was awesome there too! Lots of pretty boys and hot gogo dancers.

- My Ex got a little weird on the trip and apparently was/is going through a bunch of emotional stuff for some reason.

- The drive back was long but pretty and it went by quicker then expected.

Getting back to work is difficult, especially getting used to waking up at 6:00 am every morning again! :( So I'm very exhausted and going to bed right after this.

I don't think I'd worry to much about swine flu (officially H1N1), especially since one of my coworkers is on the local university research team and she is not too concerned. It's only really a threat if you have a poor or compromised immune system to begin with.

My question: Do you think it's worth spending more money on nicer clothes (within reason)?

Finally some good news

You might have noticed that I didn’t post last week. There are two reasons for that, firstly I had so much to do that there was no time for it and secondly I wanted to wait for Chris to post. He should be back posting this week.

So since last time a few things have happened, the most important one being me getting a new phone. The store FINALLY contacted me and today I got it. I didn’t get to choose phone myself but it’s ok since I got it for free.

I’ve also been spending a lot of time with my sister and her new baby. He is so adorable and I love spending time with them. The plan for the last two weeks also including reading some books for school but I’ve postponed that due to the lovely weather.

I’m starting to look forward to the cruise I’ll be going on in a week and a half. I’m leaving on the 17th and will be getting home on the 20th in time to post my blog. Another thing I’m looking forward to is my 20th birthday that is coming up on the 10th of August. So I’ve only got about a month left to be a teenager.

Time for the question.

Mine: This summer my favorite TV-show is AI season 8 that they are showing here now. I’m also watching a lot of the drama series.

New question: So a few weeks ago there was a lot of media coverage on the whole swine flu thing. They are now predicting that it’ll come back in the fall again. So now they are planning to vaccinate or at least offer the possibility of getting vaccinated to everyone in Sweden.

That leads to my question for this week. Would you get vaccinated against the swine flu if you were offered it? Or would you skip it and try not to get sick without the vaccination?
