{10.11.08 Day 14} 1st letter home – A Love Lament

The Crew!!

So we haven't posted anything to the blog for a while, and by the time you read this, we will have most likely already done so. But I want to be sure you all know everything. At the moment I am slightly hungover and riding in a massive RV to some random town on the New Zealand North Island. Tomorrow we take a ferry to the South Island. So, please excuse the sloppy writing and scattered thoughts. But, relative to the latter justification, I feel that unplanned and train-of-thought writing portrays the most accurate depiction of my current state.

Bradon and I befriended 4 Swedish girls on our 3rd night in Auckland. I am going to be completely blunt and open because there are things that I cannot post on the blog. Yet, I must tell; you all are the people I love most in life.

I have become very well aquainted with a girl named Pernilla. She's a life-long gymnast, dancer, and artist... and her eyes contian the universe. While all 4 girls speak and understand English, she is the worst, at speaking it at least. That is largely on account that she spent the past year in Denmark, and thus often has 3 languages floating throughout her mind. We have an extraordinary connection. Spending time with her and soaking in her spirit reminds me of the glee I experienced amongst you all. That said, she evokes a bittersweet bliss. I am having trouble leaving you all behind and enjoying the moments, and I mean that in whole-hearted love for you all.

So, this magic Swedish love affair of mine. Before I delve into that, I must note that Bradon is constantly in a state of awe. I try to discuss my passions, but each time he remarks “Bro, look where you are. I dont give a fuck about girls right now. I'm just enjoying this awesomeness.”... or something along those lines. Oh, and when I say passions, I'm referring to the bittersweet blissfull outpour of intrigue for Pernilla. He does often comment on you all, and how much he wishes you all could be here enjoying the stunning adventures of everyday.

By passions I'm referring solely to Pernilla. It's strange. Had I met her in the states, in my 'SD Living' state of mind, we most certainly would have been involved in one extraordinary way or another. But, given my incredibly 'free-spiritedness', and overwhelming mindset of soaking in the amazement of this adventure, she is falling short. I long to be single again, and have a love-filled selfish will. But she's always there. And I'm enfatuated with her. And, while I deeply love both her spirit and presence, I spent the past 2 years preparing my mind for this.

I suppose I should just include her, and that's what I do, but she's overpowering. Gawd look at me. I frazzled like a schoolboy, and at all times, and in the most beautiful country I've ever seen. Her and I have so much in common. She is currently sitting next to me, massaging my thigh, not sexually, but endearingly. I like her so fucking much. Those thoughts are consuming my mind and I have to get them out.

I think about you all more and more each day. If homesickness does arise, I will be on account of you all, nothing else.

She has a beautiful voice, both for talking and other reasons; she is always humming, or cutely singing 'doo-doo, doo da doo' or something or laughing or smiling... gawd look at me.

I think about Laurie much as well, and those divine thoughts only fuel this bittersweet fire. I wish this letter could have been more exiting for you all, as your massive luster and beautiful hearts deserve so much more than this mere love lament. But as I said before, you all mena so much to me, and we've had so many heart-to-hearts—it was time for another.

The other 3 girls are fantastic as well. Just deep down good people, and the perfect travel companions! Everywhere we go people ask “so where ya'll from?” Brad & I say California, then our 4 blonds say Sweden in their gorgous accents. Then we tell them how we've been traveling in a 6-person Rv together, and their eyes grow and smiles surface or they just laugh. Haha it's the most ridiculous thing ever. These chicks are so cool. I painfully have the sensation of wanting to marry Pernilla. WTF. WTF.

I just took 2 zani-bars to settle down and am beginning to get sleepy, so, hej da (Swedish for good bye). Love you all and miss you like nothing else.

P.S. Im currently exhausted. We went on a wine tour today on bikes... FUCKING BEAUTIFUL! Found 4 baby bunnies, rode hard, it's late, I'm tired, kind wrote this in a daze, from the heart none-the-less :]
