So I am sick, in a foreign country, in a dorm, with little to no food. Oh how I wish I was home to be spoiled by my Mom. Ginger ale, Gatorade, saltines, mmmm.... It's never seemed more appealing.
I don't know what to think anymore. I've been gone for almost 2 months now, somehow it seems longer, somehow it seems shorter. My concept of time no longer exists. Tell me what I did two days ago, and I would honestly have to think about it. Ask me how I am doing, I have no answer. And the best part is, I am here for 7 more months. I laugh from sheer nervousness and excitement just thinking about it...
I fear once I return home, I'll have no base, be it my friends, my everyday enjoyment of life, my focus. How does one go from living in a city of 7 million to that of 100,000? I guess in the same way I came from Pueblo to here, with an emotional overload.
Enough self pity for now ;) I've found journal writing to be complete bliss since leaving home, call it "cleansing of the soul" or pretentious bullshit. It does my mind some good, hehe.

At this point in time, I am sitting in my dorm room eating hummous w/ tortillas. Early tonight, I met up w/ Donna, and we opted for dinner in Soho. We found the greatest little Thai restaraunt where I had vegetable curry and a Tiger beer. Mmm, great food, great experience. After that, we headed to Leicester Square in hopes of finding a pub. Instead, we came across yet another UK movie premiere, "Elizabethtown." In hopes of spotting Kirsten or Cameron Crowe, we stuck around. And oh were we satisfied. Cameron Crowe showed up first w/ his wife (who is from the classic 80s band Heart). As they were making rounds, another car showed up w/ the like of Kirsten Dunst. I didn't have my camera on me, but I took a picture with a friend's camera (thanks to my height) of her profile. The picture is to be posted soon on my Webshots.
Afterwards, we headed to the Low Life Bar on Paddington Street. Expensive? Of course. But the greatest round of drinks I have had here in London. Now I sit in my dorm room, thinking of friends at home and how I miss them so. I wish you were here, you know who you are. We shall meet up once I return.

If interested, here's the link to my photo website. I went to the UK premiere of "Corpse Bride" tonight and got pictures of Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter. I don't know what it is, but celebrity spotting gets me off....

It's been awhile since my last post, as nothing truly exciting happens during the week. I got home about an hour ago from a night of bar-hopping. We started in Leicester Square, made our way through Soho, then ended the night in Covent Garden. The last pub we went to was named "The Nag's Head." How clever is that?
Earlier today I went to Oxford Street, a large shopping district in London. I went to a popular store here called Topman. It's interesting to see what's considered in style here. Basically, it's everything American stores try to be, from the "vintage" craze to street chic hipsters. But better. Here, people dress well but don't make a point of it. It's nice not having to deal with that attitude of superiority (because, well, it's diverse here).
Tomorrow plans include a trip to Harrod's, one of London's many museums, and possibly the aquarium or London Dungeon. Hope all is well at home.

| You Are Likely an Only Child | 
At your darkest moments, you feel frustrated.
At work and school, you do best when you're organizing.
When you love someone, you tend to worry about them.
In friendship, you are emotional and sympathetic.
Your ideal careers are: radio announcer, finance, teaching, ministry, and management.
You will leave your mark on the world with organizational leadership, maybe as the author of self-help books. |

| 1st embarassing story... |

| |  weird | ] |
Ok, first embarassing story of my trip... We all decided to go to a dance club called Tiger Tiger, near Picadilly circus. While I enjoyed my time there, I don't think I am the dance club type. So after a few hours, I decided to head home. At this point it was nearly 2 in the morning. The tube is closed, and I have no idea on how to use the bus system. After asking a few locals, they pointed me in the right direction, and off I went on the N13 bus. After realizing that they do not call out their next stop, I started to pay attention to the area of town we were in. Suddenly, I see Baker St. (my stop). I quickly make my way to the door, and just before the doors shut, I leap.... and sprain my knee. It's now 2:30 in the morning, I am hobbling down the street, and suddenly, I become light headed as if I am going to pass out. Sooo, I find a park bench and sit down to regain conciousness, and thankfully I do. The rest is history; I purchased a knee brace and Ibuprofen gel the next morning, and thankfully it is 200% better 3 days later.
Here's to making a fool of myself...

I finished school yesterday! I am definitely happy to be done, but it has been such a huge part of my life for so long i am not quite sure what to do now. I really didnt expect to miss it, but a little part of me does. I am especially going to miss getting to hang out with amy and brian everyday, they are both awesome.
Wow, I guess it is time to be a grown up...

I have made it to the UK and am currently enjoying the streets of London :) The vibe of this city is unlike any I have been to; you literally see every nationality living among one another. Sure, we have gotten glares, presumably because we are stupid Americans, but I think I will fit in over time.
Tomorrow's agenda: Big Bus tour of London and a production of "Stomp." Until next time :)

It's been awhile since I made an actual post, 3 or 4 months? Here's a quick recap:
-x- Moved back home for the summer
-x- Worked w/ my stepdad at his business doing granite countertops
-x- Visited family in California
-x- Went to Las Vegas for my 21st birthday :)
-x- Currently, I am shitting my pants...
Now, in 5 days, I'm headed to London for 8 months to study abroad. I know once I get there my mood will probably change, but nerves can be absolutely horrid. Let's hope I don't back out before then....

THEY NEVER GOT YOU
you
when you were coming up
did you think everyone knew
something unclear to you
and when you were thrown in a crowd
could you believe yourself
did you repeat yourself
cause no one would hear
and just say it again
cause they never got you and you never got them
don't let it break
don't let it start
don't let em in
don't go too far
and cover your tracks
cover the path to the heart
don't let those footholds start
and don't let no one in
cause they never got you and you never got them
you
when you were breaking up
they was just waking up
and back in that place where you come from
did it pay to play along
that's where I'm coming from
I'll roll it myself or just let it be
cause I never got them and they never got me
no I never got them and they never got me |

On Friday my car was hit by a semi on the interstate, most frightening thing that has ever happened to me and my car may be totaled.
It really fucking pisses me off that another persons complete negligence and incompetence can destroy something you are really not going to be able to replace. It is bad enough that stupid fuck made one of my biggest fears a reality, further damaging my already fragile mental being, on top of costing me $80 for missing a day of school, save the fact he very easily could have taken my life as well as the life of my friend, but now I am faced with replacing a brand new car I got an amazing deal on. so how about if everyone pulls their heads out of their asses and concentrates on operating their motor vehicles with even a little regard for the other human beings on the fucking road?
