Oh the post vacation blues...
I am back, and not by choice. I went to London for a week with Liz, and
met up with Liz's cousin and my friend Steve that I met in Australia.
Straight from the airport, we went to check in and then met up with
Steve b/c he was going to Switzerland the next day. We had a picnic at
the park in front of Buckingham palace, and then we went sightseeing.
It was so nice to look at his photos and reminisce, and he also
reminded me that I had really gone to Oz, that it was not just a dream
that I concocted in my head and pretended was real. He misses it just
as much as I do, and we would both like to move our families and
friends there and skip out on the rotten places we live now... but we
cant, so all we can do is dream about going there once again and hope
that one day it will become a reality. Fortune was not smiling upon us
later on that night, because we were at a pub and Liz's bag got stolen,
with her glasses, camera, and debit card. The vandal then charged a lot
of money in the span of less than an hour, which was weird b/c the
shops in london all shut at 5 or 6, so nothing is open around 9 for him
to charge things! I felt sooo horrible about what had happened, and
certain that the rest of our vacation would be miserable and lousy.
Steve kept saying that it "rarely" happens, but he is from there. Many
other foreigners have said that London is notorious for thefts, and to
be careful... well sometimes advice comes too late... I tried to be
optimistic (yeah funny right?) and somehow it worked because we had a
good rest of the trip. We went to all the sites: Stonehenge, Greenwich,
the prime meridian, big ben, westminster abbey, shakespeares globe
theatre, tate modern museum, british museum, harrods, canterbury, st.
pauls, the roman baths, white cliffs of dover, the english channel,
tower of london, and a really ghetto style medieval banquet. Personally
I loved the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey. I learned a lot
about the history of England and the kings and queens. Steve said he
wishes that the queen would stop taking the money and that they could
get rid of the monarchy b/c she doesnt do anything... so I wonder how
much longer that is going to last. I know the aussies want to break off
from England, so who knows... Another strange thing was in this place
called Camden town, they sell mushrooms in jars on the streets! (and
also the seeds to grow them... Hallucenogenic DRUG mushrooms just like
canal street!) they also sell gothic clothing and very strange stuff.
Liz's cousin Stacy told us that at the station there is a homeless guy
who has a dead rabbit that he puts on his hand and jumps out screaming
"the bunnies need some food! help me feed the bunnies!" when you come
out of the train station. The reason she hated her year in london is
b/c she lived in that dodgy area... well I would be pretty scared too
if I lived there!
What I do know is that I am suffering from the post vacation blues. I woke up at 4am this morning, because I am used to their time, it would be around 9 in england at that time... it takes 1 day for each hour of the time difference, and less time to get over if you are going from east to west than west to east. I do not want to be here at all. Liz and her cousin were so excited to get home again, and there was me saying I DONT WANNA GO HOME!!! Can you blame me? I have a psycho skeleton, JilLaura, and that stupid jerk colin who has his head so far up kathys butt that he cannot be bothered with his sisters. scenario: I arrive home and my mother is happy to see me, but thats about it...I was telling her about my trip and colin comes by, I give him some souvenirs and then he immediately jumps on the phone with his girlfriend after talking to me for 5 minutes. Sukhvir had been acting like a punk, but he came to see me and my mom got upset b/c I "ditched" her (yet she is the one who told him it was okay to come over!) So then I went and picked him up from the train station, and when I got back JilLaura was at my house. Jill cannot be bothered with me when Laura is around, so she barely talked to me, she kept running up and down the stairs. Then Laura came and I gave her the shot glass I got her, and she was like "oh thats nice" and then went to talk to my mom and Jill. Then JilLaura left to go somewhere, and I was so tired I fell asleep on Sukhvir, which turned into "dont go in that room because they are doing bad things" We were both sitting upright! My head was on his shoulder and our hands were at our sides! What bad things could that be possibly translated to!
The next day I will admit I was rude...Colin walked in and asked something, and I said "Why dont you go call Kathy?" When Jill walked in I said "what are you and laura doing today" and my mom yelled at me and said to cut it out...that the reason nobody wanted to talk to me was b/c I was rude. Well that wasnt exactly the best welcome home in the world. Jill still hasnt gotten her prize, because she has been with Laura every spare second of every day. If she doesnt want to talk to me then I will just keep it... plus there is a nasty rumor circulating about me at work, and they laughed when they heard it instead of sticking up for me PLUS they didnt get my schedule even though mine is right after jills... psycho skeleton erin looks even worse, her veins are popping out and I think she must be taking steroids or something b/c she flies into fits of rage for no reason, this morning I woke up to find colin and kathy laying on top of each other at 8 am... Remind me why I should be happy to be home again? I have no health insurance, no money, the professor liz said was nice is being a big humongous jerk and not letting me in his class, Daynas package that I sent to australia over a month ago is still not there, school starts again in 2 weeks, I hate the carlyle but I cant get a real job b/c of stupid observations.... I thought it couldnt get any worse, but it keeps getting more and more unbearable.
