Fabulous Friday!

Hello friends!

I'm finally sitting in an internet cafe.. not as easy to come by as one would imagine. \this one happens to be on a steet near my hotel, with is half internet cafe half subway. THANKFULLY i've already eaten breakfast, and i won't subject myself to american food in england lol.

I can't belive how much time has flown by already. \since tuesday I've been by myself during the day time while Kim goes to work. Its been really nice and relaxing, and the weater has been unbeliveable. It has not rained once! and i even have a minoooorrr sunburn.

Today, well this morning, its only like 930 right now, its a bit cloudier than its been, and muggy. I'm hanging out until i have to head over to buckingham palace for the changing of the guard. I'm hoping its nice enough after so i can find a nice park to take a nap in.

The last few days I've just basically wandered around the city aimlessly. I've eaten fish and chips, and tonnnns of candy (kim showed me really cheap cady store, and its so delishious i go there everyday for a little bit of sweet goodness) I've gone to the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery, the Tate Modern, (all art galleries) I've gone back to the Tower of London, Parliment again, I eat dinner on tuesday in a sidewalk cafe called the mermaids tail, in Leicester Square, I ate fish and chips as big as my head! And on wednesday I eat in an Italian restarunt chain they have here called Bella Italia, and I had this yummy spicy shrimp pasta dish. And yestrday I got cheapy greasy fish and chips from a vendor outside of the tower of london, and I sat at a little table face the Tower Bridge in front of me, and the Tower of london like 20 feet to my left. IT was magnificent.

Last Night Kim met me in Leicester Square, and we went and saw the Phantom of the Opera. It was sooo good, we had pretty good seats, and I realllly enjoyed it. I didn't even fall asleep onve.. (i have a tendency to do that suring plays LOL) By the time we got out it was pretty late, like 10ish, abd the tube near our hotel was going to be closing soon, so we started to head back, but we were starrrving! no where was open near the hotel, so we ate these little cookies that room service leaves us and called it a night. That was probably the food god telling me I had eaten enough fish and chips and candy that last few days that i did not need to be eating dinner.


Well I guess for now thats all.. I'm going to go check up on Perez... I haven't seen anyone famous yet... Well i miiiiggghhhhtttt MIGHT have seen justin timberlake... or someone who looks just like him walked past me the other day and i almost threw up i was so excited.. lol but it prolyl wasn't him.

I'm off to amsterdam tonight! i miss you all!
I've been taking alot of pictures i can't wait to show them off!

London!

Sorry this is short and sweet but i'm dead tired and can't wait to take my shoes off.

I can't belive i'm actually here, this is amazing, everything is baeutiful, and i'm having the time of my life...

As soon as I got to the hotel on Friday night me and Kim went to Pub down the street, made friends with a Brit named Ian, he was old and halarious, and i even made a few prank calls on his cell phone, we drank a few pints of beeeer and did a few shots of tequilla (in your honor Jami)
It was a great way to say hello to London.

Saturday we went to the Tower of London, walked over the Tower Bridge, walked 3 miles down a trail next to the Thames, walked back across the thames saw big ben, parliment, had the BEST Ice cream ever, and went to King Cross, the palce where they film all the harry potter movies, I found Platform 9 3/4 soooo cool! Jenny you would have lovvved it! and it was really fun.

Today we went on the London Eye, which was really cool, Colleen I waved at your school! then took an hour train ride to Windsor, and walked down to Eton College from there. I saw a reallly cool old book store, but it was closed, which sucked cuz i really wanted to buy a cool old book from england.. but did see alot of young brittish boys.

I don't have alot of time, so i'll try and find a internet cafe soon!

Miss you all!

I'm Leavin on a Jet Plane!

Leaving the states at 9AM!!

My ear is still killing me.. I've taken enough ibuprofen to sedate a medium sized Buffalo, and I'm still not done packing! I thought I was, but then I took everything out, and restarted. I hope my ear doesn't bust open during take off! That might make the news though, and that'd be pretty sweet!
Surprisingly I'm not all that nervous. But i've been busy since I got home. I'm sure the nerves will set in once I'm alone at the airport, and I have to say good bye to my iphone for 12 days!

I borrowed my parents video camera, so I'm really excited to be able to take pictures AND videos. I'm going to be the touristy tourist that I've dreamed of being my whole life!

So back to my packing. I think I'm bringing wayyy to many articles of clothing.. and whyy, i wonder, do I feel the need to bring 2 pairs of shoes that look like they came straight out of MK olsen's closet? That's not a rhetorical question, it's legitimate, and the only answer I have is that i'm crazy, and what if I do meet someone cool and famous and they don't want to hang out because my shoes are ugly! Plussssssss I can't very well go to the Sex and the City premire in flats! that's a SIN, and I'd go straight to HELL!


So far I'm doing good tired wise. I took a 1/2 hour nap earlier and I think I can make it at least until at least 4, when we leave for the airport. I guess this is pretty boring now.. No sights to report, and no crazy travel stories to convey, but what I can say is that I am so thankful for this opportunity and I can't wait to run wild through the streets of London... annnnnd Amsterdam!

<3 you all!

London!


Well, We can all thank Ashley for the grand idea of starting a Blag. I read hers and was super jealous, so now she has some competition in me!
This is actually a really BIG week for me...
I've finally decided that its my time to fly! Literally.
I'm leaving for London on Friday, and spending 11 days split between there and Amsterdam.
With everything that has been going on in my life lately, I think this is just what the Dr. ordered.
Colleen stopped by earlier and dropped off some really cute and fun London things. I can't wait to put them all to good use! Thankfully she gave me and awesome guide book that will help me in my path of least "lost-ness." Speaking of Lost!!! I'm going to miss two weeks of lost while i'm away! That and survivor is almost enough to keep me home, but that that much so.

As I'm sitting here writing this, behind me are two empty suitcases and an ENTIRE living room covered with tshirts, jeans and shoes. Its a bit overwhelming, but thankfully I have Idol to keep me company. But i guess the suitcases have won the battle of the stare, and I should go fill them up with my favorite outfits, and zipper them shut.

Cheers!
