I tell my love to Wreck it all

I woke up with Bon Iver stuck in my head and a massive headache. As far as 21st birthdays go, I think that was a success. Albeit it resulted in some major dehydration and aches and pains, oh and I had to watch the soccer game this morning as I don't remember even seeing kick off... I know, it got a little nutso over here. I don't really know where to begin, or if I really want to share all that much. It was a blast- but we starting drinking at midnight of June 12th, and didn't stop until sometime late last night. Which is absurd yes? Not only that but totally not my style, as I'm sure you all know. As my dear friend Crystal said, things are a little out of balance at the moment. And I am inclined to agree with her.
Given that things got so crazy this weekend and that it's been a week (ish) since arriving here, I feel strange. Not changed or grown or anything like that, and to be fair after the antics of the last two days I felt like my maturity may have digressed slightly. But I'm feeling at a loss, I'm hoping some of you who studied abroad have felt the same. I'm into the swing of things, but it's still early, and I'm scoping out my stomping ground (Camden and Euston for those of you who know Londontown) but I haven't found many local friends yet which I want to do. There is also so much I want to see and do, but it's finding time/ money to do all of it. I know I shouldn't be worried about fitting everything in, not only am I here for another 9 weeks or so but it's absolutely not the last time I will be here.
But do you see what I mean? Unbalanced. My wants and expectations are battling reality, not in a bad way- but unevenly.
However, that will not stop me from exploring and having an excellent time. I'm hoping to see Crystal in two weeks and then to jet off to Scotland to visit dear Sophie and Richard. Furthermore I am looking forward to England and USA among others actually winning a game.
While we are on the subject anyone care for some amiable bets? My top picks for the world cup are 1] Italy 2] Brazil and 3] Ivory Coast. But we shall see, Argentina looks alright- although I am not impressed with Messi, mainly because they have 5 guys on him constantly. I'm hoping both England and USA progress to the next round, which shouldn't be a problem, because if anyone saw this mornings game between Slovenia and Algeria- both teams looked terrible. But because Slovenia won, they are ahead in that group so we shall see how it goes. The tough group will be G- Brazil, Ivory Coast, North Korea and Portugal. I do hope Portugal advances but I won't put money on it.
Well here are pictures of the Camden market, one of the coolest places in London and our first night of the weekend. We went to a club called Fabric which, as it turns out is a rave club. Which would have been alright if a] it were cheaper, and b] it was our scene. But the eletro-techno with lights and fog was too much for a drunken brain, so we came back to the Camden eye and finished the night well, with some whiskey.




the seating in the Market is awesome. It makes one feel like a badass.


This is a beautiful dress- made out of vintage comic inspired fabric

The river goes right through Camden.

I have to publish more tomorrow. I am tired. This week, I hope will pick up. Balance Universe and make me feel whole again!
