fish and chips

ok so i just got off the phone with you and i am still plastered but your post made me cry a little! (i unlike you am not dead inside so these emotions come out easier) i am trying to busy myself as much as possible but everything i do i keep logging into my amazing race log. i have the tube system here figured out like crazy and my sense of direction has become so much more wicked sharp. i miss you lady! i was talking to steph earlier and i really want u bothto be here so we could just go crazy and wake up drunk in random tube stations!

here are some cheese rollin pics! love you!

Bullet Points

ok so not a lot of time but definitely bullet pointing everything.


-ok so after our conversation I felt pretty good about maybe venturing out of my comfort zone and actually liking a guy, but then I waited too long and realized that there is no point. (cue you yelling at me)
I know I know!

-going to the globe today, hope it is everything I hoped for and more.

-also went to a cheese rolling event yesterday, will post pictures this evening, and I really missed you because we so would have been apart of the event.

-it was very cold and rainy at the festival so I went to the pub after and drank a heck of a lot of whisky to warm up. I know, it was an excuse for me to get plastered and then pass out on the bus on the way home. good times

- I really miss you.

- I like our talking really about nothing but it is something to us. I am sorry you have to deal with teenage girls all the time. I thought maybe when I get back we can have a massive slumber party at your place with the girls and then freeze all their underwear because we are just immature like that.

I am ridiculously impressed with your knowledge on the office, and I have always described Adam as Creed to others. It is simple and totally him! Just wait until season 3 and this past season, the similarities just get creepier and creepier.

I will post pics tonight! Love you and I especially lvoed your Krasinski fantasy, very raw and rugged.

The Mixer

Having fun at the mixer. I had a little too much to drink that night. Couldn't help it, drinks were way cheap!

The Secret Indian Memo!

Rachel!

I think I got the secret indian memo today! I was travelling on the tube and decided to just take it to wherever. I ended up exiting on Holloway Road. I remember Meghann telling me that there is a cheap sandwich shop there so I decided to go look for it. But something inside told me to keep on going and guess what!? I found a great Indian restaurant that serves traditional Parsi Dansak. (I know you don't know what it is, but trust me it is damn hard to find in the states!) I was so excited! Anyways, I think I am going to try and venture out again and find the bigger Indian area. but I was really happy to get the memo, for once.

London...a first taste

Ok so this long overdue but here it is...

Let me begin with saying that the window seat is not always the best seat in the world. Yeah you get to sleep against it, but when you have to pee you either need to make the other two people move, or just hold it until they go. Let me tell you, on a 13 hour flight, I was practically begging them to drink more jsut so they would hurry up and get up to pee.

Anyways, I arrived here to wonderully cliched London weather. It was gray, cold and damp. Good thing I brought my galoshes! But I wish I had brought more warmer clothes. My room could double as a refrigerator at night. I am very luckily also near the fire escape area of the room that has a wonderful cold draft at night. I think I am catching Pnemumonia.

On to my roomate. She is nice, but defintely not someone I could hang out with on a daily basis. Shes cool to live with but thats where it ends. She is from Chicago, a theatre geek, 21 and engaged. It took all my willpower not to give her my very frank thoughts on marriage. I walked in with Rachel's very good advice in mind, "Don't be a bitch." I am really working hard on that. To tell you the truth I have not made very many friends because everyone came here with a friend. I feel like I am living in a sorority house and I am the odd one out. I have made one friend and ironically her name is Rachel, we are the only two with natural dark hair. Already we stand out. We are also the two ONLY ethnic people here. She is Chinese, I am Indian, everyone else is from middle America and very very white.

Rachel and I have been exploring the city by tube and walking so much during the day. We just went to the victoria and albert museum, and the famous Harrod's department store where I splurged on some chocolate. I am really enjoying just being able to get lost in the city and try to find my way back. I have found so many wonderful cheap places to eat and hang while writting diligently in my journal. I don't want to forget anything!

Also really annoying about these girls, were in London and they are getting coffee from Starbucks! Like we don't get enough of Starbucks back home.

This weekend:
I am going to the Sherwood Forrest in Nottingham! This is where all the Robin Hood stories went down! I can not wait!
