Ello!
Holy crap it's already halfway through September. Have you felt neglected? I'm sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, I haven't even unpacked all of my crap yet which is a little pathetic considering I've been in my apartment 3 weeks now. Yeah, I don't like doing things.
So I figure before I tell you an of my fabulous P-town adventures, I have to tell you about London!
Here we go.
First of all british accents are amazing, as are their phrases. My favorites have got to be “cheeky monkey,” “you’re a legend,” “cheers,” “mate,” and “luv.” Sadly, they sound way less awesome when Americans say them. Believe me, I tried.
London is such a cool city. I just love the big city feel but London is especially cool. The history’s incredible and the buildings totally blew me away! I’ve always loved old buildings. I’ve got this theory that I was an architect in a past life. Anyways, my favorite building was probably parliament. The detail was incredible, but I really I just loved super random little apartment buildings and Starbucks too. So cool. It was a little bit of problem though. I was so distracted looking at buildings that I may or may not have had my personal space bubble popped by a double decker bus. True story. Haha
London has so many amazing museums. I’m a total museum nerd so this was pretty much amazing. The British museum was so awesome. I had to quit my habit of reading every plaque or else I would have been there for the rest of my life. So much to see! The Parthenon statues! Rosetta stone! Syrian Lion hunt carvings! mummies! Dang I want to go back. It was amazing, but my favorite museum was probably the London Museum all about the history of London. They had some way cool stuff! I just wish we had more time at the museums. We were like literally running through most of them.
Another really cool thing we did was hit up some musicals. Me and Logan went to two but the rest of the family went to like 6! We’re not quite the musical enthusiasts they are. The two we saw were Shrek and Les Miserables. Les Mis was dang good. I’ve seen it before but I was like 7. Understandably, it made a bit more sense this time around. So I do have to vent for a second though. Marius is dumb as rocks. Eponine is like ten times cooler than Cosette. Ok rant over. :)
While there we got to go to Wales too! Wales is beautiful! Man, I loved it. We went saw incredible beaches, breathtaking cliffs, AND the castle where Monty Python was filmed. Now that got your attention. Haha Seriously one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. We also went to this awesome park where I befriended like 20 swans. They just keep following me around. It was awesome. I’m basically the swan whisperer. Don’t worry, I plan on using my powers for good, most of the time.
We got really into on this British sitcom called Miranda. Kind of reminds me of 30rock. It’s about this British lady in her mid-30s who’s just really awkward and hilarious. I thought it was pretty funny but I didn’t really get invested till Logan told me “She’s totally you if you were 35 and British.” Rude. Haha he may be onto something though. She’s incredibly tall, clumsy, loud, and ridiculous, like someone else we know…… :) needless to say, now I’m hooked, and particularly interested in seeing how things turn out with her studly Welsh love interest. There may be hope for me yet, I just might have to wait 15 years.
We of course had to hit up Kings Cross in honor of harry potter. We wandered around the station for a while looking for platform nine and three quarters. We weren’t having much luck so Logan decided to go ask one of the workers who proceeded to roll his eyes at us and point to this giant sign.

Oh my gosh. It's me! You cheeky monkey ;o)
