I love Daisy!
Top Ten Lizzy & Daisy Memories:
1. The flat search in London that began with the question "How do you feel about not having windows?", traveled onwards via the flat above a bookstore selling Anti-American books and displaying photos of burning American flags, and finally ended in the unheated/mouldy/slug-in-the-kitchen/Mr. Benedict run Kelvin Road flat.
2. Leaning back in our seats to try to touch Nacho Duato at Sadlers Wells
3. Dressing up (with Jane...and accompanied by her boyfriend Casper) as British slappers, and proceeding to Tesco's
4. An extremely uncomfortable viewing of The Bad Education
5. Doing countless NY Times crosswords (sometimes accompanied by excerpts from Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet and sometimes at UniGe and sometimes involving text messages)
6. The infamous "neck hair incident" during a rehearsal of Danse Qu'on Croise, in the presence of one Mr. Thierry Malandain
7. Christmas in Antwerp (stalking above-mentioned Mr. Malandain, hideously awful Christmas dinner, scary shop mannequins, the best hot-chocolate ever)
8. Simultaneously watching the olympics and the cat chasing a pickle around the living room.
9. Imitating "Some Like It Hot" by shaking our maracas in absurd ecstasy, and saying "sweet dreams and pleasant thoughts".
10. Concocting all sorts of bizarre new meals (Peanut Butter & Chocolate Pasta, Peanut Butter & Snickers bar on toast, Oreo sandwiches...)
