"Go sleep on your temperpedic mattress!!!"

Sigh, good times. First and formost, my good friend bryan came up with a way to get wireless in his room. He's the second of our kind to pull it off. Here's the deal, we were supposed to be able to just log on when we got up here but for some reason it didnt work at all. so the tech guy has been gone for like a week, and finally we got it all set, and bryan's computer works great. this is nice, not having to walk about 500 miles to the computer. anywhooo, so we went to parliment yesterday for a little adventure of government. john would have loved this place, it was...awesome. the plan was, to meet up at the courtyard get everyone together and take the train to london. ive got the consecutive pass, so its all free for me to ride for the whole month. loving it. so we get into london, realize we're in london and stand in awe for about an hour. it was awwwwesome.



we walked around for about 20 minutes, found p-funk, and as we were walking down we were going down the sidewalk towards it. and big ben was hidden by a huge freaking tree. so i have this great video for it...its pretty cool how this weird leaf covers it all the way until its there. so we get to p-funk, walk around for a qhile, take about 1000 pictures. and we looked across the street where charles the first head is actually buried when it was cut off. then we saw where queen elizabeth was actually buried as well, it was right across the street. its so cool to say that we're right across the street from big ben, or whatever...its awesome. someone asked me what i was doing yesterday about going to london. they say, hey are you going to london today?? i just nodded and said yeah, i have some stuff to do, but i can blog it up later and read later (which i did mom and dad). Then i realized i just answered that question with yes.












I AM going to london today...BAHAHA anyway, hopefuly that movie will work for ya, i know the pics do...so we had a date with all the government people in parliment itself. like we saw a session that was...boring. i mean all they were talking about was some bill to make this country greener. (come to america, i can't even throw away a can without getting yelled at if its not in the green bin) it was crazy to see the throne and all the benches where people sat and discussed how mad they were that these crazy puritans decided to get away from the king. it twas...cool i couldnt take any pics in there so much apologies about that, but then again im not going to jail so you can see the thrones.

(jungle boogie just came on my ipod, its on shuffle)

anyway, so we left parliment, took 100 more pics and ended up in the Trafalgar Square. they acutally banned us from feeding the pigeons to keep everyone in london healthy. we hung out there for a qhile, took a bunch of pictures and dr. heinsberg (the lady) told us about a place called the Texas Embassay. Its this place that in legend was started by a Texas State student and its right next to where texas' actual embassay was when texas was a union. weird huh? so we went there to eat, i did the quesadillas...they were amazing. we had chips (crisps) and salsa for the first time since..a year it feels like. hung out, talked about our paris trip, payed our bill and bailed. i had to pee like a pregnant woman so when we got the train station i figured i could do it there...

and then it happened...

it was 20 pence to pee. yeah we were expecting these bathrooms to be freaking epic. oh no my friend, they had bad ass handryers but other than that...smelled really, really bad (taste of the swamp's bathrooms, ahh home) and it was just a regular bathroom. pretty nuts i had to pay to pee. man... so we get back to cant.terbury around 8 and we were supposed to go back to the green dot bar (still dont know the name) and see dudly's cousin play. guys this place is exactly like antones, its awesssssome. everytime we go there, we always say how much we feel like we're in austin. then we see the big cathedral, and we feel dumb for saying that its like austin.

annnnnway, so we get back and end up going to the penny theatre and have a few drinks. it was a beer a pound last night, so we drank. it up. we played pool on these tiny, tiny tables. they seriously were the size of nice dining tables. no numbers, no stripes or solids. just blue and yellow. it was weird playing on a tiny table but it was..odly easy. i heard blink 182 in the bar and then the killers, it was weird getting a taste of home while we were there. me, kelly and michelle ended up closing the place down. we talked to nathan, our irish bartender for like an hour, and the door man for like 20 minutes, it was crazy. the doormen here have to get certified to be a door man, the drinking age IS 18 but still have to get certified. nathan and i were bsing around about texas v. england and how he expected us to all be wearing boots.

everytime someone laughs at me being from texas, i always give them a good yee-haw. sigh, stigmas...haha anyway, so nathan and all of us were hanging out and i was bitching about these beds here and how i miss my temperpedic thing. its not really the memory foam but its like cover for it, it was from my mom for my birthday (yes, mom i did give you the credit you deserve, calm yourself, draaama) and these beds here are really rough. but...haha it hasnt been hard sleeping latly. so on our way out, nathan yells out..(its in an irish accent, so think how funny it is)

"go sleep on your temperpedic mattress mate!!!"

bahha, we are still laughing about that. we laughed for like an hour in class about it. yeah i'm learning alot. we also met...justin timberlike. yes, timberlike. this tool of a guy, who does look alot like him...but...needs a class in social awkwardness. he goes up to our friend sarah, and he goes... tool: 'youre stunning, may i have a chair?" poor sarah: sure, thanks for the compliment tool: i am just amazed by your beauty yeah, ok i left right after that. i figured sarah was gonna mack it up, have a good time. i looked over after a qhile and...hah...poor sarah, shes doing the awkward please leave laugh. it was great. apparently this guy is a professional look a like. yeah, you read it right, PROFESSIONAL. i cant remember what else he had to say but it was baaaaad. anyway, so that was everything that was last night. parliment was AMAZING, i really wanna go back, but its kinda time crunch right now. we're leaving for dover in about 30 minutes. ive got to try to get some pics up and head down there...so here's to nathan.. ..cheers
