Actually I decided that, oh about 5 hours ago while skype-ing my dear friend Christopher Paul Millard. Group travel is hard, particularly when you yourself are alone in the group. Well I knew I was coming here on my own, it's not the first time I've done that- now it's time for friends and fun, my way.
I'm ready.
I'm excited.
Also, England, you look awful on the field. It may be high time to hang up the jerseys... Algeria? Slovenia? Shame.
On the plus side I had a fantastic night at a pub club called Walk-about. We danced, we drank, I made friends with locals. We discussed rugby and my lack of dancing moves. I had 4 men tell me they liked my hair, which is nice to hear because those Cosmo bitches and whatnot always say men like long hair. Also Chris made fun of my lesbian do- (Chris I know you were just kidding... as I am doing now). It was not only a confidence boosting night, but a really really fun one.
Although one of my friends may have made a very bad decision. Not STD bad or anything- and it's not my place to discuss. But I wanted to ask you- what do you do? Do you warn them? I simply said, think about what you are doing. She was drunk, but not black-out or stumbling. Coherent enough to know what I said, let's say. In the end I let her make her choices, and I wonder which is better?
I'd like to know what you think. It's an interesting question.
So I have quite a lot of photos to post- I will write again soon on the latest photos of Churches and Historical pubs (yes they were grouped together...)
For right now I have photos from Farringdon, a very coo' place in the center of London with a fabulous market, and wonderful architecture. For those of you who care, Farringdon was the only original burrow in London that received no damage in the Great Fire of 1666. So all of the Churches and things have survived from that period. Also Farringdon was not bombed (well it was but it received very little damage) during WWII (Churchill quote "Madame, tomorrow I will be sober, but you will still be ugly"). Ah yes, Winston Churchill.
Anyway... here are the photos from Farringdon, also for those of you who care, many of the buildings are used in Movies... oh yes I have a photo of the leaky Cauldron.
Here is the Market. If anyone can guess which building was used for the leaky cauldron I will give you... well props. That's about all I have at this point :)
Final shout out to Mr. Millard, as the pub I went to stamped out hands with a stamp in the shape of Australia. Be proud. I do hope no one at the pub required a Walk-about, as it would be rather hard in downtown Westminster. Anyway broha- Miss you.
I hope you enjoy the history of Farringdon, There will be substainally more photos this weekend. I have quite a few shots with friends and flatmates (the terms are interchangeable really). Some from the pubs and some more Museum shots that make my heart happy.
Happy illegalization of slavery US citizens. Today the Dred Scott decision was announced in 1862... and how I remember that I don't know. I'll blame professor Lochner.
Nighty night, Sleep tight etc. etc. etc.
