If you didn't already know, I am currently living in London, England, as part of my study abroad program. I absolutely love this world city, which is odd, coming from a girl who has spent her whole life in a very small town and loves to be near nature (if not directly out in it). But London has so many beautiful parks near my flat that I don't miss a more rural landscape, and for some reason, this place has just seemed to click with me. And my roommate tells me that I am just a little too obsessed with the Underground, lol.
For Spring Break, I went with some friends to Edinburgh, Scotland, and even though it was freezing cold, I wouldn't have traded it for any beach party in the world! I think I may love Edinburgh even more than London. Heck, when I looked outside my window in the morning, I was looking at a huge castle on a hill! How awesome is that? But topping them both, forever, is Tintagel and its castle ruins in Cornwall. That has to be the most beautiful location on the face of the earth. I so want to live there some day...
A point of mention that my fellow Detective Conan fans might find interesting: On my train ride to Edinburgh, my companions and I were delayed when the train came to a halt for a full forty-five minutes. Why? Because there was, either on the line or in the train, a fatality! As sad as that was, all I could do was think about all of those DC cases, like the North Star Express case, and how much I wanted to go running off to investigate. Because that is what detectives do, right? I never got to see the crime scene, though. ...I just hope I don't become a death magnet, too...
My Arthurian Romances class (best class ever) has actually given me a very interesting idea for a theme for 40 Nights, which I have decided to definitely write. Which means it will be, like, probably a few years before you all get to read it... Hopefully not. Hopefully, I will be able to find time to write a lot soon. Hopefully, hopefully...
Though it was, as usual, cloudy and chilly in London this morning, the sun came out later on and the sky turned a beautiful blue, so I sat around in Russel Square and wrote on some fan fiction, as I have been wanted to do for a long time. My accomplishment? Finishing up a difficult piece that I had been working on for a long time! Therefore...
Theme 8 of 40 Nights: Shinichi and Shiho has finally been posted! It is entitled "The Girlfriend."
If you want to read (and hopefully review) it, you can find it at
