You know how people say "She's just made for it."? Well, I know people who say that. Anyway, this weekend I went to Sydney with the 'rents and sibling for a replacement Christmas to try and avoid the relatives and the disappointments that jump in their suitcases. We stayed in this hotel in the CBD that was all fancy fancy with shiny marble floors and mirrored walls in the elevators and also walking distance from all these really amazing places all over Sydney.
Being the ADHD teenagers we are, me and my sister went on nightly outings through Hyde Park and China Town at midnight. Armed with a map and a phone we walked until 2 in the morning and then crashed on the sofa but I realised I was made to live in the city. Everything about it was exciting and amazing and joyous. We managed to dodge projectile vomiting three times (! We did not know where it all came from !), find 8 different ways to get to the same place, we claimed a piece of the park for each morning, went on coffee runs, find the perfect city driving song ("Hard to Explain" by The Strokes) threw paper aeroplanes off the balcony, walk for 2 hours in heels, rip festival posters off of telegraph poles without being struck down by a taxi, strike up unawkward conversation in elevators AND haggle. I think with those life lessons down pat I'm all set to move to the city and hopefully not get raped and/or die. Wish me luck.
