First and foremost I want to begin by saying I nearly shit my pants on the train northbound. The farther from London I went the worst the scenario got for me.. I invisioned what I was led to beleive was a city suddenly nothing but hills, sheep, huts, and siphilis... until around the point almost four hours later where I saw this odd looking woman with wings resembling the wings of the original Wright Brothers plane.. turned that hill and saw a city on the bottoms of a valley type thing.
The city itself was amazing. Southerners in England have false ideas as to what the north is like. Well, no. Scratch that. They have spot on ideas of what the north is like it's 50,000 s/sqm (sheep per sq mile) and really questionable huts... biggest horses I've seen in my life.. and I'm from Puerto Rico. But I came to the conclusion the general Newcastle area isn't a part of the north see because the mid-region is just a part of oblivion you go through and don't really stop at. Except for York and Peterbrough... I'd like to see those some day.
The city is amazing and is truly remarkable in how it's built. If you notice in the pictures the two piers are meant to be as like.. guides for ships to come in. The ruins were a prairie castle type thing.. and the monument is dedicated to Nelson's second in command who brought his ships in to Trafalgar, my favorite bit here in London. Had good nights out both nights.. went to places in Whitley Bay and then in Newcastle one night and to see Wallace and Gromit the night before.
Right then.
I finally... after almost 5 years met
littleredboots.. and after almost 3 years finally met
sheeshkebab,
mooshmonkey,
frentzen,
matthewsalmon, and others whose Lj names I don't know off the top of me head.
You were all amazing and I thank you all for comming out that night.. perticularly Ian and Jem 'cuz I was with them the longest. Ian has trouble keeping up with me... I managed to confuse him and trick him into saying he wanted to go to a gay bar. Bless. <--- bwahahaha.
I had a lot of fun up there.. and in all honesty
littleredboots (henceforth reffered to as Chris because I can't be bothered to continue the link thing) was.. he was so much more than I thought he was.. and it's saying so much. I just.. wish the meet'd been so much sooner.
Chris I woke up this morning with my eyes bloodshot.. went to class and left it early. I txtd you at some point got no reply kind of cried out of frustration for a bit and woke up 5 minutes before class... put on my slippers and left. I meant everything I've told you.. and I hope you understand how dead serious I was about the way I said I felt about the whole situation.. and I am expecting you to tell me what I asked you yesterday.
I took a big risk in going to Newcastle.. one I don't regret taking... but the situation is now very difficult and I regret to say I don't know if I've the strength in me to return there... despite how much I really want to.. and how willing I am to do so. I feel like shit.
I love you, Chris.
After 5 years I can finally say that and understand why I'm saying it.
You must all come to London.
I need you so much closerrrr....
