So, I haven't blogged for a while. Sorry to my fanssss. I know your out there.... Haha. Not much to report. I'll try and go in chronological order....
Halloween was a bigger deal here than I expected. I was working that night, and agreed to meet up with a friend after work for a quick bite and a catch up. So she comes in, and it's been pretty quiet, so we decide to walk up the road to Shoreditch, none the wiser. We get to our fave dim sum spot, walk in and.... yes. It was full of freaks dressed up. Crazy, crazy costumes, fake blood and spiderwebs everywhere, a line a mile long for drinks.... Quickly realising dim sum was not happening for us this evening, we wandered on up the street only to realise this was not an isolated event. There were freaks dressed up everywhere! Including one guy who look like half a shark. He had a grey piece of rubber wrapped around his upper torso, and had cut a hole out for his face and drawn blood and teeth onto the whole so it looked like a mouth. He could move his arms, cos they were pinned down by the rubber. I told him he looked like a mermaid in reverse, and he told me the good news was that the right half was all man. Great. It was at this point that I decided to take a taxi home instead of waiting for a bus.
I have survived my first Guy Fawkes night, which was cool. They were letting off fire crackers up and down my street which really interfered with my nap I must say. Also saw a building on fire and the fire men rushing in to save the day, which made me loudly declare "SEE! THAT'S WHY THEY ARE ILLEGAL IN MY TOWN!" So there. Perth 1, London 238. Well done Perth :) I'm afraid I didn't participate in any revelry though, because I went to a friend's place and watched the Disney CLASSIC beauty and the beast.
The clocks have also gone back since we spoke last. This is kind of terrible because now it gets dark between 4 and 5 instead of between 5 and 6. Oh sure, they say it means and extra hour of sun in the morning, but as someone who sleeps in until 9 every morning, this is no consolation. It's also getting colder... and colder... and colder....
On Saturday night, hit up the Prohibition party, which is a 1920's themed party here in London. Was very cool, complete with a menu pasted into a book (to avoid suspicion), drinks served in tea cups (so no one would know they were alcoholic), gambling, and actors dressed up as policemen trying to break up the party. All great fun. Only one problem towards the end of the night, when I was dancing with a guy who spun me a little too enthusiastically, causing me to slam into another girl, causing both of us to tumble to the ground, ripping my dress. My partner, seeing the trouble, quickly left. Chivalry is dead! Luckily, someone came to my rescue so I didn't suffer the shame of sitting a dance out.Then, my friend Judith's conquest treated us to McDonalds. Nothing beats the taste of a cheese burger at 3:30 in the morning. I then made best friends with a stoned South African and a scary emo chick on the bus. (No really. I'm not being sarcastic. They were lovely).
In other news..... I am coming home for Christmas! Cheer! Yes, I have changed my flight and am coming back to the sunny shores of Perth on the 11 of December. Leaving again pn the 26th. Can't wait! Was meant to be coming back in April, but I have something on then, so I changed my flights to take advantage of sunshine and my mum's home made fruit mince pies. Yeah!! So coffees all round I should think. Ooh, and I want to go to Muffin Break for a Mars Bar slice.... Delish!
Other than that, I'm afraid it's just been uni and work. More uni than work lately, but that's ok. Have to do two covers this week, so I am not impressed :( Hate doing covers because you never know anyone there, or where everything is, and you look really incompetent when really you just need to get your bearings. Hopefully it'll be fine though. And then I have the great fun of hanging out with a moot group on Friday..... Another two hours of public international law. I'm telling you, I didn't study this much even when I was studying public international law. It's not right!!
Well..... see you all in one month form today!!!
