O0oh I had such good times today :) :)
I went into London pretty early so I could mooch around museums and such for a while. I wanted to go to the Wellcome Collection on Euston road to see the surgical knives and the shrunken head but alas, the galleries were closed on a Monday. Instead, I ended up in the Natural History Museum for a few hours admiring all the fossils and gemstones. After that I went to have a nose round Imperial to see if I liked it. I didn’t manage to see very much of it, but what I did see looked awesome J I’m definitely thinking of applying there…
Then I met up with Guy in Hyde Park around 3 o’clock. It feels like absolutely forever since I last saw him. So yeah, we mooched and lurked and strolled till it was too cold to do so anymore. We moved on to the Leicester Square to track down the only restaurant in London that appears to sell ‘Bubble Tea’ (this weird milky tea drink with big tapioca pearls in the bottom). We found it, and stopped for a mass load of Chinese food too. Which was super tasty. Plus I managed to eat the entire meal with chop sticks, something I’ve never mastered before, woop! J We wandered round London in the dark for a while, and sat on the lions in Trafalgar for nearly an hour. It was just so lovely…I was a wee bit weepy on the way home…I never wanted to leave *sigh* Now I’m completely and utterly skint though L
Leeds festival next weekend though J that should be funtimez.
My sister’s causing a bit of a rift in the family though. Instead of just saying ‘I’m gay’ she’s going to the longest lengths possible to hint, in the hope they’ll bring it up in conversation so she doesn’t have to. So, for past few months she’s been to every Pride march she can, covered herself and her bedroom in rainbows, started worshiping a lesbian band called ‘Axe Girl’ (who, for the record, are shiiiiite and have a beautiful song called ‘I like girls’ *puke* which she plays loudly all the time.) Now she’s gone and gotten all her hair cut off. As my mum put it: “she might as well have ‘I’m gay’ tattooed on her forehead”
It wasn’t the fact that it’s short that annoyed the ‘rents. They quite liked it.
It’s the fact that she’s now bleached it yellow, on the grounds that she looked too much like my brother while it was short and brown. Which she did rather…
So my parents are annoyed that she’s trying to make some sort of wild statement to someone. And my dad thinks she’s trying to make herself completely unemployable. Oh well. ‘Tis none of my business.
