If you could be anywhere right now...

... doing whatever you want to do, this very moment, where would you want to be? And who would you want to be with you there?

Me, I'm sitting at work, and I just stared out of the window into this beautiful, fresh, bright autumn day, on the red and yellow leaves, into the bright blue sky, and if I could be anywhere right now, I'd be at the sea, walking down the beach in Bray, looking at the mountains.... *sigh... 4 hours to go :(

Seen as today is a public holiday over here, I'm quite enjoying myself already. ;)

If I could be anywhere else right now, I'd visit a friend of mine who decided to move to Italy...

I miss her :(

Awww... :fluffle:

I know how that feels. A friend of mine moved back to Germany not so long ago...

I'm not sure. Currently, the "where" and "doing what" are not as important as who isn't there...

It really sucks... We shared an apartment for 2 years, and we had such a good time! I miss talking to her (I don't even have a phone here. Not to mention a reliable internet connection. *sigh*.)
This is depressing me, and I don't like being depressed. Not on a holiday ;)

I'm gonna go outside and enjoy the sun for a while, hope it makes me feel better....

nice daydreaming, everyone! :D

sitting in bed with my husband sipping hot cocoa eating pastries and watching Penn and Teller's Bull Sh**

yeah that would be nice:)

instead I am listening to my kids throw a fit about the fact that I won't give them any halloween candy for breakfast, and paying bills online, and I have a cold and a headache

this is not nice:(

i'd be in san francisco, looking out over the golden gate bridge in that lovely little park i found last time, sitting on bench or taking a stroll on a crisp autumn day, with a certain someone by my side...
and it'd be nice have booked reservations at a particularly delicious restaurant, too (i always be thinking about food :))

Though its a perfect autumn day here- its mild and in the 60s and not a cloud in the sky, I'd probably pick some tropical setting. I could use a few days to unwind on the beach, listening to Jimmy Buffet, drinking Coronas and eating shrimp. St.John's would be just right.

Now...back to reality. *sob*

Not the kind of thing I would expect you to watch..

why not? It is a good show. I like Penn and Teller. I am sure if you didn't expect me to watch that you would be absolutly shocked at my DVD collection.

Backpacking in the Smoky Mountains, preferably in the Nantahala Forest. Who to be with? Either with those of my children and grandchildren who would like to go, or with the best-looking outdoorswoman on the planet! :D

I'd agree with you there. Although the mountains in Greece or Macedonia, or the southern Swiss Alps, or just about any park in Canada would serve just as well to my non-picky tastes. And who to be with? Alone, or as alone as possible, maybe with a dog or something to warn me about bears, poachers, or law enforcement agents.

Just that they're atheists and one assumes would consider religion "bullshit".

I had a little Keeshond (http://www.akc.org/breeds/keeshond/index.cfm) who was the best dog I have ever known. She grew up with the kids, and thought she was one of them. Some of my most treasured memories are of times she and I backpacked through the Nanatahala or up the Appalacian Trail. When Breda died, everyone in the family cried. She was just that good.

It doesn't bother me, I don't really care what others think of me or my religion. I like the show, not watching something that I like because I may not agree with the people on it about an issue, is kinda dumb.

Probably sunning myself on a tropical beach somewhere.

Or in Portstewart (a small seaside town in NI with awesome views and a very nice beach) during a good summer anticyclone.

*yawn... Right now, I'd just love to be in bed again. Forget all the mountains and seas and beaches and parks in the world, I'd just love to snuggle down on my pillow, draw my soft blanket up to my chin, have my cat lying next to me all curled up and purring, have a last look at the grey day and fall asleep while hearing the rain drumming against the window....

Currently sitting at work...it's 2:40 am, and I have WAY too much stuff to do tomorrow. You'd think now that midterms were over things would get a little less hectic, but NOOOO....they just keep piling it on.

Where would I go, what would I do??

I'd like to be on a boat of some kind, THIS (http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/Delator/48e34bfd.jpg) one would do, with a bunch of my friends, casually crusing somewhere in the South Pacific.

Yeah...:)

I'd like to be speaking fluent Swedish in Göteburg or Stockholm, with a nice looking girl, lots of cash, and sunlight. A little sunlight would be nice after 5 o'clock.

Anywhere but here during exam week.

Okay, well, not anywhere but here. More like someplace that I want to go to that isn't here.

Anywhere. With anyone. Doing anything.

Right.

I'd be in Inverloch, Victoria, Australia, and it'd be a typical Inverloch day. There would have been a beautiful sunny morning and I would've taken my special someone for a walk along the beach. Then the rain would have started and we would have done nothing for the afternoon and would now be snuggled up together in bed, talking and listening to the rain against the window.

*snap* back to reality. I'm smack bang in the middle of my final exams and my special someone is not with me and it's all rather sad. However I do get to spend three whole days and nights with her next week, and my best friend is tagging along too. Hurrah.

One exam to go, though. So I guess I'm not so much smack bang in the middle of them as right on the cusp of finishing them.

Great thread!

Somewhere abroad with my favourite person of the moment. Perhaps on a deserted beach watching a sunset. Perhaps in some cosy café or bar-type-place somewhere chatting. Perhaps walking alongside a river or in some mountains or along a cliff. Perhaps in a park, either walking along or just sitting on the grass talking. Perhaps in a random field somewhere watching the stars. Anywhere really, but preferably outside. The boat idea sounds nice too :)

I'd be home, back in Pennsylvania, sitting in the forest with my friends, a campfire burning, drinking a beer, with a side of beef cooking in the cooker. I wouldn't have so many bills, I wouldn't be so broke, and I wouldn't be living in god forsaken Garner, North Carolina, Land of ugly trees and crappy soil.:( THERE IS NO AUTUMN HERE!!! It's some kind of twisted satanic autumn where all the leaves turn yellow (sick yellow, not vibrant, beautiful yellow) and just look dead.

:mad: GOD I HATE THIS PLACE!:mad:

I miss Pennsylvania. It's so pretty there!:(
