future plans

i think my time with ivo is coming to an end. i will have lived for free for two weeks but when i find a new place to live, i will be living for 1/3 the price of what i was paying before i moved in with ivo. ivo is going to his flat in time square and doesn~t know when he will return so that~s my cue to find a new place.

me, jujubee and lucy are on the lookout. the only problem is lucy has a dog that likes to eat cats. so we~ll see....

as i am always thinking about what i am going to do next, when i start to get bored, i have been thinking i will stay a bit longer here, find a place, pay rent and take off traveling while juju and lucy watch tb. i told them they could even rent out my room while i~m gone and that would be their payment for watching tb. i still want to see a lot in south america....peru, northern brazil near belem, iguazzu, uruguay, paraguay...it~s funny, the people in brazil blame paraguay for the poor quality of electronics. paraguay is like the armpit of south america. it always gets shit on...like bakersfield in california.

anyway, the plan is to return to s.f. in january, visit and stay with friends, work to save more money, and possibly move to paris with my good friend, anne marie. she speaks french and we can teach english there. we would rent a small flat with our savings and go from there. she is one of few people i know who will drop everything to do something memorable, life-changing, follow her dreams, not stop until she~s satisfied. i have found a kindred spirit in her. her family is all french, so she has traveled to france many times. i have been twice. paris once. i don~t like the cold, but i am a trooper and will do what i have to do to survive. and so will she.
