First, let us thank you for your loyalty in following our blog. Although we find ourselves rather entertaining and extremely humorous, it's nice to know other people are reading our shit - even if it is only Mum & Dad! We understand that as parents and friends you are obligated to lie in order to prevent our little hearts from breaking; you have to tell us our blog is truly wonderful, even if doesn’t stir the slightest hint of laughter. BUT we accept you whole heartedly as a loyal Floggers and Boggers – as we need our blog to look like it has many avid readers and is wildly popular, and you need to feel like you are fulfilling your roles as parents by filling your children’s heads with false encouragement about their blogging abilities. This way, we all sleep well at night. We LOVE getting comments too so comment-away! We’re watching you ANONYMOUS – reveal your identity!
Whilst the travel preparations continue, we have noticed that we have sort of adopted alter ego’s during the planning process. We feel we have given the term “freedom of expression” an entire new meaning, each of us putting a little bit of ourselves back into this experience, in our own quirky yet entirely productive way - Totti with her nerdy spreadsheet which is now scaling at almost 1KB (you know it!) has become a cooler and way hotter female version of Bill Gates – her spread sheeting skills are pretty impressive, in this case, geeks really will be taking over the world :p As Ela is lacking in spreadsheeting prowess, she has chosen to compensate with her arty farty DaVinci style notebook and MASSIVE two-holed binder (and she wonder’s why she can’t get laid ??), we bring you a sneak peak into.....GOSS - G.oing O.verseas S.even S.ins:
OK that was a poor attempt at making an acronym, we can't be funny ALL the time - don't judge u s :p
Wrath - "inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger"
Anyone heard of the Napoleon complex? To put it simply the term "Napoleon complex" has been used in scientific research on the phenomenon of smaller organisms acting aggressively towards larger organisms.
The short (lol, we are short) of is that we both suffer from this condition. We seek forgiveness for the anger and possible hatred we will show over our travel period...however, our excuse will be the Napoleon Complex; being vertically challenged, we have to make up for our short-comings (ha.pun intended :p) some how!
Greed - "excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power"
Whilst some may say taking a four and a half month holiday is greedy while our family and friends continue to work the 9-5 grind during the cold cold canberra winter, only stopping for coffee breaks and a snack consisting of dried fruit and muesli with the odd pea and ham soup chucked up for lunch.....OK....we are greedy, but we will be thousands of miles away, so even if you wanted to throw an inanimate household object at us in frustration, there’s nothing you can do about it:p Forgiven?
Sloth - "laziness and indifference"
We may be lazy here but we will endeavour not to be lazy whilst overseas. I mean sipping cocktails, staring and stalking Jamaican princes, riding segways, sipping cocktails, sipping cocktails, sipping cocktails. OK....we are guilty of being slothful, however, we will NOT return looking like this. So we're forgiven, right?
Pride - "a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self" - The most deadly sin of all.
*we’re too sexy for our shirt, too sexy for our shirt, so sexy it hurts. We’re too sexy for Milan, to sexy for Milan, New York and Japan*
*hey wifey’s, you’re so fine, you’re blow our mind, hey wifey’s *clap clap* hey wifey’s *clap clap*.
Lust - "excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature"
Enough said. Bahahahahahahahaha. *ela’s quest to find her mojo*
Envy - "resent that another person has something they perceive themselves as lacking, and wish the other person to be deprived of it"
Seeing as though we have nothing to envy aside from ourselves, we handball this sin to our floggers.
Gluttony - "over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste"
Our number 1 sin. The pizza, the pasta, the chocolate, the nutella, the smarties and who can forget the alcohol. Although Totti possesses the metabolism of a Ninja, it is a-mazing, and shall therefore elude the consequences of over indulgence. The toilet however, will feel her wrath lol. We will be asking forgiveness for this sin for the rest of our lives.
So as we like to talk about our feelings, ‘cause we’re good like that – we hope this blog gives you an insight into our virtual selves, as the tangible versions will most probably be busy tanning and partaking in other beach related activities, and dominating the overseas competition, we leave you with the sentiment that we’ll say it, when you’re just thinking it. We are sure there will be plenty of awkward, funny and sincerely honest moments to come, so stay stalking, as we are keen to share them all.....or mostly all :p
Watch this space, and most importantly….Say hi to your dad for us,
Kate & Ela.
