Serenity in tact, it’s the feeling that I lack
A photo Ravi took of the Golden Temple in Amritsar
How I wish Ravi’s family didn’t hate me… Wouldn’t it have been amazing if I could have gone along? It looks so beautiful. And I have never been anywhere outside of the US (as Canada and Mexico, in my opinion, don’t count…) I don’t even have a passport! I’m so jealous and probably a little bit bitter that I am sitting here in this festering shit hole and Ravi is running around, care free, having a wonderful time. I suppose we really shouldn’t be jealous of our significant others (if I could even call him that), but well… Let’s face it: I am.
He does get some points though, as I just got off the phone with him about 20 minutes ago and we were able to talk for about 45 minutes. That is our longest conversation since he left for India three weeks ago (exactly.. I’ve been counting.) And that is probably the most stimulating conversation I’ve had in three weeks too. :(
In other news, here are the plush I sent to the Crammed Organisms Show:

The photo is amazing. Perhaps you can think of the lovely bathroom you have
at your place with a western toilet and the one where he is staying that most
likely doesn’t. Amritsar is great if one is in a 5-star. Otherwise…..oh my. Or
he may be staying at the Golden Temple itself. I saw someone’s blog about that
experience. Another…..oh my! I would love to try it for an hour.

I understand, but what kept me on your blog (I just found it recently) is the fact that you share what he shares with you…pics etc…I’m probably the scourge of the blogworld for daring to ask if you really couldn’t go because of his family…do they even know you?

Hi Laura. :)
Yes, his family do “know” me. And yes, they do hate me. At one point in our relationship we lived together until they found out and his father kicked me out. Anyway, it’s a pretty complicated situation, but I suppose if I am being honest I couldn’t have afforded to go along anyway.
