Doesn't make it any less of a living hellhole for die-hard bleeding-heart lefties.
I think the same with mine.

Rant: I am actually depressed because the world didn't end last Friday. In fact, the lack of an Earth-shattering kaboom made my depression worse. 
And no, not because the lack of an apocalypse I had publicly anticipated made me a fool.

A friend of mine doesnt realise just how attractive she is to me. Im 2nd generation youngest child, and Ive met annoying people before, but the combination of annoying and attractive is difficult to deal with; I would love it if she has a sexy older sister.

It looks like we are going to have 8 days of temperature over 37 degrees here. So much fun in this heat. I don't mind the occasional day, but not for this long.

Then why do you live in Perth.

You can't imagine numerous circumstances whereby one would not simply relocate due to a dissatisfaction with climate?
Eastern European governments like frustrating my plans. I've been wanting to do a Belarus-Ukraine-Moldova route, but the visa requirements are a pain. I need one for each of them, which you apply for at an embassy or consulate. Which, for Belarus and Moldova, Australia does not have. So I'd have to plant myself in London or Berlin for enough days to get at least two visas done, without being able to go anywhere due to lack of passport. Which pretty much rules out August/September 2013, meaning it'd have to be March/April 2014. They also require bookings/invitations, which are hard to get a long way out (because you have to plan too far ahead).
The tricky part is how you actually get between Belarus, Ukraine and then Moldova. If you go from Ukraine to Moldova, you have to go through Transnistria. Which I really wouldn't mind at all, but seeing as the Moldovan government doesn't have control over that border, when you try to leave Moldova, they'll think you've entered illegally. If I try it in reverse, entering Belarus becomes trickier.
Annoyingly, lots of people (e.g. UK citizens) don't actually need Ukrainian or Moldovan visas, which means less information exists on how to get them, or what's involved.
I may have to settle for Kosovo-Macedonia-Albania-Montenegro-Croatia-BiH in August/September 2013 instead.

Bali mate. $25 Visa on arrival.

I object. I own exactly zero Bintang singlets and have not set foot in Kuta for years (and in all seriousness consider Balinese culcha to be extremely robust).
EDIT....I only just realized how wanky it is to describe culture as "robust" after seeing it in print.
I'm more of a museum guy, less of a beach guy. More Europe than Asia. Though I went to KL/Cambodia/Vietnam back in July and thoroughly enjoyed it (but not because of the museums; they don't have the same funds to put into a top class museum). I'm bound to go to Bali sometime, but I have to go to Europe next year (though hoping to hit up Japan/South Korea on the way), owing to uni in Munich. So I'll be attempting to go to the places in Europe I haven't been.

I'm extremely jealous truth be known (Uni in Munich? Wow, awesome!) If I can recommend anywhere it's the Basque country though I realize it's a fair hike from your other destinations. The Guggenheim in Bilbao makes the Sydney Opera House look very average.

Spain is also on my list, though I'll be heading straight for Granada.
Don't forget Barcelona. It's best city in Spain, and I'm not biased at all...
