Thursday Thirteen # 57


Thirteen Things about Jill
13 places where I'll go if I could during the March Break


1.Florida...the child in me always wants to go visit Disney World. And the adult in me need the sun

2. Cancun, Mexico...The sun, the beach and the hot weather, what one could ask more for a distraction of the winter we had this year?

3.Québec...Visit my relatives up in that province, including one of my goddaughter

4. Halifax...My niece did had to go back to IWK due to a fluid built-up on her lungs, due to the wrong peniciline for someone with her disease. One of my friend just had a baby. And there is another living there, I didn't saw either of them in 2 years! And I could meet Julia at the same time!

5.California, probably LA...Shopping, Sun and beach, sounds good... And I would want a big spending budget to go with that!

6.New Orleans...There is something about that town that had always attract me since I've learn about it.

7.Paris...I would probably gain like 5 pounds during a trip to Paris trying all the bread and bakery specialty from this town. But maybe it wouldn't be enough of one week, because they say it almost takes one week just to visit all of Louvre exposition.

8. Rome...The architecture of this city has been the background of so much history classes, for somebody with an history interest, it would be like having history brought back to life!

9.London...Just to hear the british accent would be great. More seriously, I would visit Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, that big Ferris well, and probably the London tower(isn't it suppose to be haunted?)

10. Australia...I always wanted to visit the Great Reef barier, the Sidney Opera and this would be a good place to learn to surf...

11.Hawaii...Just talking about place to surf, this would be another place it would be good to learn how to surf. And since we don't have anything close to a volcano here in the East of Canada, I would probably go visit the one on the Islands...

12.Tokyo... This one would probably make me mad after like 3 days because of all the people and traffic, but I would still want to visit it!

13. Egypt...With someone one with an archeologic interest like me, visiting all those search sites, event with that vivid heat would be all worth it!

Thursday Thirteen #55 - The world of bloggers!



Thirteen Things about Jill

I have said that it would be interesting to write a book that talk about the world through the bloggers eyes, so here is the TT that comes with it!

1.Julia, from Julia-Mind over matter
.... She is the one that lives the closest to me, just 4 hours away. Her artistic side really intrigue me, and she could show me Halifax (I have live there, but did visit a thing! And only for two month!)


2.3. and 4. These 3 one are all from Toronto:


Haley from Cheaty Monkey
... We always jole around about our different tastes in men, and she seems like a bubbly person, I would want to see if she is like that in real person!


Tanya fromTanya Espanya
... She has an intersing way to seeing the world, but then, I would have as much time to see her somewhere else, because she seems to travel a lot!


Dale from Passion of the Dale
... Dale and me have a kind of love/hate relationship...We argue alot, do you think it would be the same in real live...


5. Rhet (he doesn't have a blog anymore, not even sure if he is alive anymore!)... He is either in Ontario or in Shanghai(I think). Is a doctor with a funny way of seeing the world! Might be interesting seeing him. Probably wanted to see him in Shanghai, I would have already been in Ontario!


6. Rhian from From my mind to yours
...Since I've realise like last week that Augusta was in Maine(Right Rhian?) It is problably not more than like 6 hours away, it wouldn't be that long of a ride! And just to meet her and see her painting in real, it would be great!


7. Applegallak from Applegallak
... Probably nobody of you know him, but he is the guy that got me into poetry(I've never was into it before, but he made me like it, really like it, for the first time) He lives in France in a little place called . And the guy own me a coffee that I would actually enjoy!


8. Laurence from BeeHappy Laurence
... Another blogger from France. She hhas that kind of meme on Sunday that is a Riddle and everyone has a change to quest!

9. Iron Pugilist from The road to madness... My little Aussie boxing friend! With visiting Australia, I could see that guy, and try to put selfesteem to what seems to be a great guy!

10. Roscoe James from A Roscoe REader...In live in Mexico...Do I need to give you a reason why I want to go there?

11. REH from Mad man ramble....I always wanted to visit Sweden, but I will do it only in summer, because I have enough of the cold here in Canada! And I need to make REH intersted in other women than The One!

12. Susan from West of Mars
....Where does Susan live? I could visit her Riverview, when meeting her. I have Toronto in mind at first for her hometown, but then, I think she live in USA... Help me Susan!

13. Y fromLost in Yland... I have to admit, I want to meet her because I want to try one of the delicious dish she is always cooking, and I have a bonus, she live in Alaska(but this is probably another place I want to visit during the summer)
