Life... in England!!

Yeah, I haven't written in a while...

ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right. I'm in fucking England. Well, London actually. Big Ben. Tea. Scones. Accents. Plus everyone here hates Bush. They think he has the IQ of a rock. Which makes it easy to get along with them. Plus I am obsessed with the English accent so I will talk sometimes with people just to hear it coming out of their mouth. Its great.

So here is a list of some of the obviously different things: BEING ABLE TO LEGALLY DRINK and have a bar next to my dorm and find that social life revolves around drinking even more so than in the States, riding on a bus that is driving on the other (sometimes referred to as the wrong) side of the road, using Celsius and kilometers, using the Sterling Pound as currency (which also means my money doesn't go as far. shit. so I have to learn how to be ridiculously cheap), having plugs that look different that will not accept my American appliances without a fucking converter and adapter, having sinks in the dorm rooms (which is so nice), catered halls that only serve 10 meals a week (not good for lazy ass people such as myself), the weather is overcast half the time, classes are only 2 hours a week with no homework so I don't know what to do with myself, being so close to all these amazing famous places, actually having good public transportation, having pubs! which is fabulous! they have an old-world timeless charm which I love, being around hot Europeans, going to University in the huge and busy city of London, living in a shady area like Camden, getting used to the new slang and culture and fashion, finding the good places to shop and eat, getting used to eating boiled everything (but the fruit is soooooo much better here). That is the longest non-sentence I have ever written.

Okay, I know I've been giving out different URLs for my digital pictures, but that was before I found... webshots! Ahhhhh! As the heavens open up and golden light shines down... I love webshots. I was stupidly going to these crappy websites that only allowed 12 pics or 30MBs or some ridiculous amount like that. But that was before I found the perfection that is this fabulous site. I love u webshots. Ahem. Okay. So anyways, go here to look at ALL of my pics. If I add new ones, they will show up here as well so this is the only place you need to look.

Go check it out! Even if you have seen some before, the Stonehenge and Bath ones I just uploaded yesterday as soon as I actually got back from Stonehenge and Bath. And there are some pics of the new house that actually my parents are moving into um, today I think. But these pics are from before it was finished because then I left for England.

If you haven't received a postcard from me, then speak up! If you are reading this then I planned on sending you something. It is either on its way, or I don't have your address, or I am being dumb about it and forgot.
