I HAVE ARRIVED
In London finally! \o/ The flight was not bad at all; in fact originally I was supposed to have a layover in Amsterdam but they switched me to a direct flight so it was EVEN BETTER than I thought it'd be. A little mis-communication and fail and the part of one of my flatmates meant I had to wait an hour or two before Squeak could come pick me up, but I had a giant book and a lobster doll so I was alright.
I somehow acquired the most exciting knee bruises on the plane too idk how, but they are the excitingest. I mean I am generally in a perpetual state of having 2 or 3 bruises on my legs at any given time? But these ones are IMPRESSIVE. I may have to take some pictures.
AND MY FLAT. Hahaha omg. It's the most hilarious flat. By which I mean it is the MANNEST MAN-FLAT IN THE HISTORY OF MENS. I had to clean it before I unpacked, no joke of a lie. I vacuumed and swept and dusted and wiped off all the surfaces. 8| IT WAS THAT ICKY. But my room's pretty nice now that I've fixed it all up and Squeak and I spent most of yesterday afternoon MAKING ART to tape up on the walls and wardrobe doors so it's much more homey now. But yeah, besides having not been cleaned in apparently several months, the flat is like... sort of manky in a PAINT SPLATTERED AWFUL STAINED RUGS RANDOM CANS OF AIR FRESHENER way, and seems barely-lived-in in every room except the sitting room area which has a FUCKING ENORMOUS FLATSCREEN TV AND THIS GIANT... WORKING OUT/WEIGHT LIFTING/PUNCHING THINGS contraption which me and Squeak and Cat all had a good laugh about. We just kept walking all round the flat pointing at stuff and being like "MEN!!!" to one another. It was pretty humorous.
One of my flatmates is gone to.. Morocco or something, and the other I have seen once briefly when he got home from work last night. They both seem like very nice humans (if a little bit fail at things like knowing where the thermostat or mail room is).
OH MAN I ALMOST FORGOT: THEY DID NOT HAVE HAND SOAP ANYWHERE IN THE ENTIRE FLAT WHEN I ARRIVED. NOT ANYWHERE!!! It was appalling. I went straight out and bought some (and dust cloths and cleaning wipes and paper towels). Iiiiiit's going to be interesting being the most responsible person here. It's never a GOOD thing when everyone else is LESS practical than I am :'D WOOPS. OH WELL.
Anyway now that I have finished my 100% reasonable breakfast of large hunks of bread with bits of jam sort of haphazardly plopped onto it I'm going to go clean myself and then perhaps call Squeak and wake him up. OH WAIT NEVERMIND THERE HE IS ON THE INTERNET that's very convenient.
We're going to the zoo today!! I AM GOING TO DRAW SO MANY ANIMAL SHAPES IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT /o/
