This photograph was taken about a little over an hour before I left Saint Thomas for London — after the hair fire incident. The candles in the photo are the ones that my hair was caught with. The robe I'm wearing in the photo is the inexpensive article of clothing I lost on my journey back to Boston.  photo by ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} goldmourn | |||||||||||||||||

| gryffyn gave goldmourn and me a ride up to London, where I caught the bus back to Boston. In short order I screwed up boarding the bus and spilt my entire cup of coffee (a lot of it going on my skirt). However, things seemed to go a bit better until we reached the border. Compared to the security personal at the Canadian border, the Americans are fascist assholes. Someone in front of me put his hands in his pocket while waiting for the border guard to confirm his identification, for which he received the threat: "WE'RE NOT PLAYING GAMES! DO YOU WANT TO GO TO JAIL RIGHT NOW?". His was hardly atypical treatment. Greyhound had scheduled 15 minutes to cross the border. However it took us over an hour to get through security, and there was no one ahead of us. The imagery reminded me more of the check points in the old Soviet Bloc rather than something I'd hope to expect from the United States. How times change. Luckily the hold up at the border didn't cause me to miss my connection at Syracuse. Other than losing an inexpensive article of clothing, the rest of the trip went smoothly — I walked out of the bus station the exact moment purpleglitter was pulling into the parking lot.----- I didn't do my normal voice post updates during this trip, because the entire LiveJournal voice post system was down the entire trip. | |||||||||||||||||

Collecting my stuff in preparation for my departure for Boston later today, I didn't notice I was leaning over a lit candle. My hair caught the fire. While the flames seemed quite large, it appears I only lost the equivalent of two or three locks, the damage not really noticeable amongst the rest of my hair. It sure does stink in here now. | |||||||||||||||||

I don't seem to be having very good luck with these trips to Saint Thomas. The first time it was far to hot to do anything. All goldmourn and I could do was sit and sweat and play Trouble.This time goldmourn is sick. And, well, that's not very much fun.I am still glad I've made these trips, and still enjoy them to a degree. It's obviously not goldmourn's the elements have conspired to foil our plans. I don't regret coming, I just wish I had better luck and I hope goldmourn feels better soon. | |||||||||||||||||

I'm going to be landing in Saint Louis this Friday on a one-way airline ticket. It will be the first time my brother, my sister, my parents, and I will all be in the same place at the same time in over a decade. I'm looking very much forward to this. Sunday, we will all be heading down for the day to Murphysboro, Illinois - where I was born - to see my family down there. Sometime during my stay in Missouri I hope to see type_40.I also want to find a way to get to Columbia, I haven't seen the town for a long while and I'd really like to meet up with ceruleanct11. However my tight budget and the infrequent bus schedule very well might thwart that endeavour. I plan to go home via rail and/or bus, but that leg of the trip has not been fully set in place. I will definitely be stopping in Saint Thomas, Ontario on the way back to spend some time with goldmourn.I'm also hoping to meet up with likeamermaid on my journey, but if that will occur is not certain as of yet.While this isn't well planned out, I have a good feeling about it. I'm sure it will be an adventure at the very least. | |||||||||||||||||
