I have offially made my "Bucket List", if you will...
It has 33 places (or had since I can't currently find my beloved list). Mostly, places that are extremely beautiful. Versailles being a main one. Why Versailles you may ask? I love Marie Antoinette! I'm not sure what is so interesting about her, but I have read about 20 biographies (I get bored quite often at work). Ever since I watched the movie, I've been a little obsessed. It's ranking right up there with my weird Judaism obsession.
OH Let me just tell you about the strangest/most embarassing/scariest conversation I had with my mother the other day. We were discusing a certain someone and their significant other being Jewish.
Suz: "All I wanna know is if they celebrate Christmas"
Me: "Well, considering they don't believe Christ was the son of God, I'm gonna go with no."
Suz: "What the hell, don't they read the New Testament?"
Me: "No, actually they don't"
Suz: "So, can we still give presents?"
Me: "Well they celebrate Hannukah. They will accept presents though. You're confusing Judaism with Jehova's Witness"
Suz: "WTF is Hannukah? What about Easter?"
Me: "Do we need to revisit the idea of not believing Christ is the son of God?"
Suz: "Whatever, I don't understand maybe I should take a class"
Because the concept of just listening to her daughter is completely ungraspable and she must take higher education (after almost 40 year haitus). Crazy woman...
Anyways, back to my bucket list. I find it extremely sad and rather pathetic that I am going on 22 (scary thought, I like being 21) and I have yet to leave the country. I mean, I love America (That is so unAmerican!), but it's rather flat and bland where I come from. That's why I can't wait to teach Spanish is some obscure country. Not that anwhere that speaks Spanish and that is actually safe is all that obscure, but hey it's different than here.
I have a strange urge to look at beautiful things lately.. I'm not sure where it's stemming from but I'm sure I will be analyzing the shit of out it in the coming weeks so I'll give you an update. Although, I digress, my analytical skills are taking a serious hit with the lack of mental stimulus in my system. Damn, I knew I shouldn't have quit!
Put fingers on the keys.... Ok. Now go.

Ok. One point for making a bucket list. I love it! One point for making Suz so confused that she considered classes. Ha! Ten points for keeping up with your "lack of stimulation" I'm proud. I love you best friend! (Oh, P.S. Your 12 accumulated points are worth a night out with your bestest friend!)
It's a good thing you didn't mention "Jews for Jesus". That would have really confused her.
I recommend British Columbia, Canada if you're looking for somewhere not particularly hard to get to, yet absolutely beautiful (and out of the country).
