so this is what a sat night in london is like
i am so mad right now - i just typed this amazing story and as i was finishing up, the computer froze up on me and the mouse didn't work correctly from the start. i lost the entire blog. words can't describe how mad i am righ know.
ok - i will try this again, but i can guarantee it won't be nearly as great as the first one.
so last night i got dressed in my fishnet stalkings (yep, fishnets - everone wheres them, young ladies, older ladies - personally i felt a little like a hooker but...) so the fishnets, black boots, a tank top and a fun pleated skirt. we went to camden town (about a 10 min tube ride from here) and met a group of boys fron ireland who proceeded to sing "american woman" to me, dayna & karen. we then got off the tube and looked for a fun pub. pubs and bars here are different - pubs close at 11, bars at 1 or 2. i'm not sure what the difference is, but it always seems that we go into the wrong ones - usually just as they are closing. well my young fearless friend dayna decides to go and ask a group of people where they are going and if we could tag along. i was going to strangle her, literally... so here we are... 'tagging along'. at first i was rather stand-off'ish, i was not comfortable with the idea. but after i scoped the situation for a while, realizing they were actually very cool - i had the best night ever. and the best part of this story - they were OLDER! 28, 29 - 30!! finally! the only girl of the group was tinky (i know, funny name isn't it) she is 29 and from holland. her boyfriend (whose name escapes me at the moment) - lives on holloway (which is the road that my road is off of). it was so much fun. there was one guy there who completely reminded me of spud from trainspotting (the younger people reading this will know who i mean) - he was so funny. actually tinky and i really hit it off! ok, so the club that we went to had a huge fight (broken glass, bloody faces... the works) so we left and caught a taxi to holloway where we continued an after party. no worries mom & dad, i know what you are thinking right now. it was so fun, these people that i met are exactly the type of people i imagined & hoped that i would meet. the flat that tinky and her b/friend live in is just what i thought it would look like. tall bookcases, posh cutains and lamps - i love it. i don't know if i want to leave... well, perhaps i could just stay a little longer in london, like - till next may? mom, i'm kidding - you know i will come home..... eventually..... :) so anyway, i finally went to sleep at 0500 and it's now 1200 - and i have been up for 2 hours - you can do the math = i'm exhausted right now.
so here is the dilema i'm faced with; i have £5 and i could catch a taxi or grab a bite to eat. my walk home is only 15-20 mins and you know that i love to eat (some things haven't changed) - what to do, what to do.
i think i am going to grab a bite to eat, and walk it!
i miss you guys and i wish that you could be here to expirence this with me - it's amazing!
be back again soon - cheers!
