Hey everyone,
So, right now I’m pretty angry with the internet. I’m TRYING to put some ads online but the damn thing wont stay up for long enough for me to finish filling the page out. So I’m being forced to write this in WordPad. If you have read my previous post you may be thinking ‘leave’, ‘ads’, what is this insanity?!
Well… We’re moving. Yet again. This will be my sixth country I’ll be living in, oh the excitement. Just for a quick brain refresher… Mmm, lemons, I love lemons… The word refresher made me think of lemons :/. Lemons with salt, bet your taste buds are going now, hey :p! Oh my goodness! Salt!! When we go to the next country I can’t wait to eat McCoy’s Salt and Malt Vinegar crisps. It’s going to be delicious, they were always my favourite crisps but you just can’t seem to get them here, argh!
I went off on quite a tangent there :/… As I was saying, as a brain refresher… I was going to type it out but decided to make a cute little list thing instead 
!
Zimbabwe 1994-1997
Ireland 1997-2000
Northern Ireland 2000-2007
Sicily 2007-2007
France 2007-2010
And now… England. I’m pretty devastated because of how much I’m going to miss the lovely weather here. But it’s going to be in the south so all is good 
. I’m not looking forward to leaving my friends and the little town I live in but it’s insane how I’m looking forward to seeing my family. I’ve been missing the family gatherings that we had at Christmas and New Years so those are going to be great. I’m afraid about having to make new friends, whether or not the people will be as accepting of the foreign girl there as they are here. But my parents are looking forward to making Zimbabwean friends and meeting up with old ones who are now living in England. So I’ll be making some friends of my parents’ culture. It’ll be nice.
We’re selling all of the furniture and have the space of the car and two large suitcases to bring what we have accumilated in the past three years, living here. Close to the end of this month, Venetia and I will be flying and my parents will be driving. I’m impatient to see all of my cousins and uncles and aunts and my grandmother and great grandmother.
Selling the furniture, is actually going pretty well. I’m impressed. I had to get rid of my electric guitar for space reasons (and then spent the cash on clothes because that’s what makes sense !) but I’m keeping my deep blue acoustic <3. Some people came to buy the couch, they poked and prodded it, decided they would take it but they didn’t even sit on it once -.-” . Je comprends pas (I don’t understand)!
We bought our cases the other day, it was pretty exciting, to be honest. I think that’s been the most exciting thing so far. I can lie down in a ball in mine and be zipped up and pulled around. Of course, we waited to get home to do this. I could only imagine the looks in the shop if I suddenly popped out of one. It’s times like this that make me want to be involved on those scare shows that make the poor people almost have heart attacks for our amusement .
I had done my room out, packed everything from my walls and all the pretty little ornaments up, way back in January. So I thought, oh packing will be a breeze! My cupboard was lovely and tidy and all my clothes were in specific piles… I was wrong. It was not easy at all. Most of the time I found myself just staring at everything, completely perplexed at where to start or how to continue. I always say you can never have enough clothes… But man! Is THAT many really necessary? That’s the good side of my brain talking, the devilish side is saying, well of course it’s necessary, more, MORE!! MY PRECIOUS *strums fingers together with an evil smirk across my face*!!!
I’m looking forward to speaking English with everyone, understanding jokes, blurting out my jokes… Ok guys! Listen to this one, I have such a weird sense of humor, so excuse me if it’s incredibly lame. I laugh at pretty much anything, especially my own jokes… Ok, ok! What did the angry elephant dad say to his naughty son? ‘Tusk, tusk, tusk!’ Ahahahahahahahaha!!! See, like tsk, tsk, tsk. But TUSK. Ahahahahah :’D. It’s SO funny… in my head!
I’m really going to miss just hopping on the bus and not having to pay, even though I’m not a fan of taking the bus because it sucks when it’s hot. You practically die in there, but it’s freeeeee! How, everytime I run my fingers through my hair my friends say ‘My lovely hair!’… Because once, in town, everyone was having a huge waterfight in the park, beside the fountain. I had done my hair huge and gorgeous and poofy with curls and twists and stuff and someone threw water down my back, I yelled out ‘My lovely haiiiirr!!! 
‘ without thinking and since then, this is what they say. I’ll miss that, also the way they started calling me ‘la zimbabouish’ (pronounced: zimbabwe-ish)’ when they found out I was in fact born in Zimbabwe not Ireland.
And pretty much everything. Eating cherries off the tree in our garden, sitting out the back in my pajamas soaking up the sun when I let Gizmo out first thing in the morning, going to Glups, the sweet shop, going to the skatepark and just lying there all day in the sunshine, walking through town and knowing practically everyone, the summer festivals at night time. I’m just going to miss everything so much. I’m going to come back though, I’ve already decided, any chance for a holiday I get, I already know where I’m coming.
I’m grateful for the memories though and for meeting all of these lovely people and having all of the experiences I’ve had. When I came here, I used to complain to my mom about not having friends and how much I missed English, it’s probably going to be the same in England for a few months but in a couple of years, like my mom says, I will have friends. I’m hoping to go to theatre school and stuff when I’m there so I’ll make a bunch like that, it’s just scary thinking about it right now. Like really scary. Oh well, I’m sure it’ll be nice. At least, now I know how to evolve quickly .
Oh my goodness! I can do an AWESOME French English accent !! Haha, but flipping heck, it’ll be fun to pretend I’m French just to see what people say because they’ll think I don’t understand, mouahahaha, I’ve been wanting to do that for AGES now :p. Yes, England will be fun. I still have a bunch of stuff to pack and lots to do, so I’m going to leave it at that.
Hoping to hear from you guys soon!
