Ok, I’m finally home!
It doesn’t feel right though. I can’t put my finger on why. I haven’t seen my Mum yet, that is a possibility. I also don’t have my clothes yet, as stupid Continental Airlines decided to leave my bag in Newark rather than send it on to Bristol with my other one.. There is also a possibility that it is because I am so tired, due to my 7 hour...
So, I’m now sat at Newark, NJ, waiting to board my final flight back.
I sat next to a freaking fat Scottish guy on the flight from Orlando, actually, I’ll have to finish this later. I need to check if my baggage has been transfered over. Crap!
Ok, checked that my bag has been transfered, and thankfully it has. So my flight should be leaving in 8 minutes, but they aren’t even...
So I’m sat in Orlando airport, waiting to fly back to England. I have just heard that my flight will be 20 minutes late leaving, which is… great. Apparently Newarks airport is at code red, whatever that means…
Yes, this terminal doesn’t have a roof.
In a way I’m ready to go back, but there is so much more that I would like to do here.. I am tired and finished...

Ok, so I haven’t updated in a few days. Well, unfortunately, my trip is nearly over. I am currently sat in a St.Arbucks somewhere in Orlando, waiting for Rachel to finish work for the day sat waiting for Rachel, Samara and Danielle to wake up.
These times are good. I love the fact that I don’t actually have to do anything apart from wait for Rachel to finish work, and meet her, here,...
Its funny how when you go away for a while, everyone decides to contact you. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, its just a simple observation. I mean, since I’ve been in the US, for only 10 days, I’ve been getting, well, yesterday I received 48 emails… Wow, I thought it was going to be about 20, haha. This has been pretty average since I’ve been away. Now, I normally...
So, I’m sat in Greenville, Illinois at the moment at the wonderful house of Joel and Jessica. They are such a chilled couple, and the campus of Greenville College is pretty cool. Lots of mosquitoes attacking me at the moment though!
We’re having steak on the bbq for dinner which will be ace.
The drive here was loooooong. About 8 - 9 hours. Jet lag is half kicking my ass, well,...

You won’t get along with everyone. But when you do find a group of people you get along with, it will be incredible.
No matter how much you are hurt in the name of Love, when true Love comes along, it will be worth the wait.
Journaling is an extremely good release.
Late nights with good people are worth the feeling-crap-ness the next morning from lack of sleep.
Macs are...
So tonight, Lauren, Alli and I went out to scout a wedding that Lauren + I are shooting tomorrow morning.
The location is freaking beautiful!
Alright. I’m pretty much packed. My mum vetoed the idea of carrying a ticking clock in my bag through customs. I will be traveling for about 19 hours (well, 4 sitting around in Newark airport..). I really should go to bed. My mind is really not making sense at the moment. I’m exhausted before I begin!
Bed.

So, the next few weeks are looking pretty awesome.
On Tuesday, I am flying from Bristol to Newark, NJ, then after a 4 hour wait, I am flying to Columbus, OH, where I shall either be meeting this girl, or catching a bus, and heading down to Charleston, WV for 5 days, until the 12th. I shall be staying with these awesome people, and assisting Lauren on a wedding shoot on the 11th, which is a total...
I must say, I’m getting fairly sick of the US political race. I don’t have allegiances to either side, I don’t even really know what each side stands for. My only real views on it are that it would be cool to have a black president, Palin has a really annoying voice, and McCain looks like he won’t even last 4 more years…
What I don’t like, are all the cheap...
