Rock Solid

I leave so soon. It's crazy. Where did the time go?

I'm back to my usual work ethic: procrastination always gets the job done.

Three more assignments stand in the way of me finishing the semster:

-Tourism paper due Friday (1500 words)

-Literature paper due... before the semester ends?? (2500 words)

-History paper due May 7th (as long as it only takes an hours to write & email)

I could be seeing Dance Gavin Dance tonight, but I'm choosing not to go since I think I'm going to see them at Bottom of the Hill May 27th. So no big deal?

Parenthood is a really great show, by the way. haha The only television I do watch here, seems to be that show, Dexter, and South Park. awesome.

anyways,

I hope to finish the Tourism paper by dinner, so I'll get to it.

I miss you,

-kb2.

PS. check out my tumblr for pictures and other things in-the-moment related. haha YDG?!

Ow, don't hit me :(

Over a month?! Now this is madness.

Thoroughly sorry, but alas, I have returned!

I only wish there was nothing to tell you, but there's just so much :)

Hmm, I guess I should have looked at what I wrote last because now I can't remember where I left off.

Well, if I last wrote over a month ago, I think I was still going to school/not going to school/sleeping all day/awake all night-ing.

Then Alex came! Anddd, we were touristy! Did the whole Parliament Square walk-through, took lots of pictures. We went to the zoo & I lovedd all the monkeys. :) We also went to Tate Modern, and that was really cool except that some of the floors will closed off because of legal issues??

And yeah, it was really refreshing to see a familiar face and to have a big part of home come to me. :) Thanks Arex.

Then I left for Spring Break!

We left the 30th of March for Prague. It was only Colleen and me because Karley and Emily had already left for their excursions. We left soo early in the morning, it was crazy to see all the working class commuters on the bus haha.

:) :) :) Basically, Spring Break 2010 was a success considering we were winging most of it as we went along. haha

The day after I got back, I went to see Circa Survive in Camden at the Flowerpot. Arex so awesomely won tickets to see them, and yeah. Anyone who has heard me talk about this concert knows that it was the_best_show_I've_ever_been_to. The end.

Ask me about ;)

Then, the next day, Ms. Jenny Ragusa Ryan, conveniently, came into London on a business trip & I got to be tour guide yet again! haha so now, I've done the Parliament walk-through 5 times :)

1. the first tour we went on when we arrived

2. fieldwork day for my tourism class

3. father

4. arex

5. jenny

I should do this professionally.

Sigh, been all the go ever since! School has started this week and I'm actually going haha!

I sign up for Fall 2010 classes after I get from Amsterdam, which I leave for on Friday! yay! I love life right now, honestly. And honestly, I miss a lot of my life also.

I love that I am seeing bits and pieces of the world. I feel motivated to travel around the States, since when you think about it, those are just as close to me as the other countries I've been to here. There's just no time and not enough of it! haha.

Well, I leave you with that. Sorry this was kind of a sad excuse for an update, but at least I got out the outline of what I've been up to in case I forget.

Miss you!!

I'll be home soon, worry not.

xoxo

Hey!

I actually haven't disappeared :)

I started this up.

This isn't to replace my blawg, psh no. It's just faster at posting things I like. YDG?! aha

Lemme know if you understand it's theme too.

So yes, school kinda piled up out of nowhere as it usually does. But now it's died down.

Other than school, I've been listening to music. A ton of music.

Portugal. the Man. mainly. Get on that. I dig, I digg.

Gaga this Friday, I'm thoroughly excited.

Then Flying Lotus & TOKiMonsta.

Then Dublin.

It's March, friends, and March is gonna be inZane. :)

I miss you, as always.

May will come fast, I knoez it.

Tera Melos is helping me crank it out.

PS. I've missed you dearly.

Dear boy, what do you rap about?

Why hello,

I know, I fell off the face of the planet. Sorry. Luckily, I was able to grab hold of some sanity and make it back to where I am now--currently in my room waiting for my laundry to finish.

I'm drained beyond belief.

Last weekend my dad came! Totally completely surprised me :) It was a ton of fun. We have a ton of fun. Did a bunch of touristy things and ate some average food. haha good times. So when are you gonna come visit me?

Monday we went to Oceana again. Oh goodness was I a hot mess. Sorry to those who had to see me that night. Ugh. Summary: Southern Comfort, Snapple, GaGa, Smirnoff, Vomit, Water, Dancing, Falling, laughing. Yup. I looked really cute though :)

Today, my lack of sleep has finally caught up with me. And so has all of my school work. haha, oh yeah, I'm here for school.... wah wah. Gots to get a move on! and I will.

Thinking I'm gonna start video blogging, so I gotta figure out how to edit the clips I've taken and then I'll upload them somewhere. Maybe Flickr because then I can look at the Starfuckers Friend video again. tehe, I ruv that doggie!

Anywhoozle, (totally from PDS, but whatev because it's something I'd actually say.....lolz.)

Gonna go put my laundry in the dryer. Then I'll put pictures up from my dad's visit. THEN, look in to doing my videos. And yeah, dinner, then sleep. please.

Lazy.

It's 5pm, and I just took a shower, which means I just got out of bed.

Off to a great start :) for serious! haha

After dinner I'mma go to the bank to get some laundry money. Ugh laundry. Mommy where are you? Maybe some ice cream since I just found a place over yonder. Nothing like Three Twins I'm sure. nom.

I'm still hackin' up a storm, no bueno.

Thirsty for some root beer, omgz r00t b33r how I miss thee. lawl.

Listening to These Arms Are Snakes. Man, I miss them too. rip.

Sorry I'm boring, lemme try to link you something cool.

oh! okay this. this is straight up last night in a nut shell. nutz!!

So here we are again at the start,

let's get stuck.

TTNG. Friggin' stoked. February 24th. :D

That's is all.

-kb2.

(hmmm, my blawg turning into my twittererrr??) no bueno.

I should report something. lol 'report.' uhm. okay for Valentines Day. Thinkin' I miiiight swing by 14 Bike Co's anniversary party?? Not sure if I'm worthy enough. And it'd be a lil awk if I go by myself. Hi, Tom La Marche, you don't know me but, hey I'm an American too. John Prorry??

But seriously, how awesome would that be? Maybe only Arex would think it'd be tight. Boy, you need to get here faster so we can actually do cool stuff I like slash know about. It's getting to me that I keep doing things that no one here has any idea about. For instance, Alexander McQueen. Couldn't think of a single person who knew who he was besides Johnny. sigh, I ruv fashion, but people here, or at my school at least are too religious to care. Or I'm not religious enough? I'm just a snobby materialistic girl who should have been raised in the Upper East Side? yadamnstraightiam.

In other things to report. There's drama. I guess no matter where you go, it'll sprout up sometime. lol sprout. All I have to say is that I don't do well with naive people. I'm the wrong person for introducing the world. I take back what I said before, it must suck to be them.

Bummed I'm not seeing Avenue Q tonight in the city with the girls, but I really don't have the money with all the shows I plan on seeing. Sure tickets are only 22 pounds, but my inner alcoholic is also getting into a boo mood. aha drinks ain't cheap.

Tried Southern Comfort for the first time last night. yucky. or whatever they mixed it with was yucky. cheap though, so I won't complain.

kay, over and out. for real.
