Oh Elphie!!! That was far from a lengthy rant. I could go on and on and on about how hungry I was at 10:30 this morning. Don't test me, I was freakishly hungry!...I somehow think that trying to pack for 5 months in NZ is slightly more...what am I looking for??? Justified/relevant/interesting...all of the above.
I wouldn't know how to pack for a move like that. I have enough problems packing to go to school 4 hours away from home, when I can easily have something mailed to me, or have my mom drop something off when she visits during the year to catch a show. If you can get 5 months worth of
winter stuff into TWO suitcases, I'll give you the gold star to end all gold stars. Then again, I come from a long line of compulsive over-packers, so...Oh, and how can they not have heating?!?! Crazy talk.
<---------Spoiled American, right here!!!
I like long showers, and I like 'em HOT! (There are very few things I consider myself "high maintenance" about, but that's most definitely one of them).
Do you have a down comforter?? I know they're large and bulky, but they throw off some serious heat.
And the 56 boot thing. I think it's 56 CDs (so probably more like 30 shows...I'd imagine some are single CD shows)...but
still!!! I agree, that's straight up nutty. And she didn't even want $$ for shipping. *shrug* Whatever floats your boat. Thank ya very much!
But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)
