Chronicles of Canterbury, Volume # ???

[chat_noir]

Alright, so it's been awhile, but I told you I refuse to let this stress me out. Been veddy busy since my last post. In fact, I shoulda checked it to see where I left off. I think Leeds Castle... Well I don't remember anything exciting happening last Tuesday or Wednesday, so we're gonna skip ahead to Thursday. I met up with a friend of a friend in London--at the London Eye--at 5pm. It was Darcie's ex and good friend Jason, who was in London for the day to renew his visa. We had quite a lovely time there, and I was impressed that he knew where on EARTH he was going, because as gorgeous as it is, London is a MESS of windy streets and wierd little nooks. We went by Buckingham Palace so I could take some touristy-type pictures, and we passed by some other really cool places like the House of Parliament and ...ummmm. other stuff I can't remember right now cause it all jumbles together in my head. Then we went and had dinner at this really nice pub (yes, I just used "really nice" and "pub" together!) But Jason had to catch the 7:25 back to the airport so that was the end of our journey together. It was really nice running around London in the early evening with just one person who's actually from the UK (as opposed to a huge group of silly clueless Americans), who could kinda show me about town as we chatted it up. --And good thing Jason took his own way back to a different train station, because I got a bit turned around and didn't reach Waterloo 'til after 8! But that was ok, cause I ended up chatting with this really cool "local" all the way home. He's a few years older than me and not bad looking, and very friendly, so we had a good time. We "snuck" up to first class and he told me all about how he's an emcee (which is kinda like being a deejay or something, for those of you not-so-young folks reading this!) and he told me all about the England music scene, and where we should go out in Canterbury for good music. I told him to email me and let me know next time something exciting happens since he lives either in or near Canterbury, but I haven't heard from him yet. Which is quite alright, because I've found that we all seem to do quite well enough entertaining ourselves as a group with or without the help of the "locals!"
Then I got home from the station just in time to see the last of Karaoke Night at the campus pub. Ohhh lord. Surely we've all been to a Karaoke Night at one point or another, so there's no need for me to explain how ridiculous that was.
Ok, here is where I'm gonna split my journal entries up so their length isn't overwhelming.
