for nicole, et.al

yo...this is mainly for the chickadee named nicole, but if others read and have suggestions, feel free to help out.

sorry, hotmail is being a bit rubbish to me right now. here are some more hookups accomodation wise in london. it's going to be spring break when y'all are coming, so there are others visiting with other friends. it's just looking really crowded, but it's cold so body heat is good.

wimps

greetings you fools,

in class yesterday, a guy came in to warn us of some "emergency weather". he said that if we wanted to leave early we could because the weather was going to be horrible and anyone living more than 5 miles from school should be super duper worried because it would take them ages to get home.

lame.

folks, there was absolutely no snow on the ground. yes, it has been cold and sleet-ish type weather, but seriously. it's like when it snows in georgia. this people, ay me.

so this project that we're working on....it is going to be a calendar with the theme "i wish i hadn't....." images of regrets and stuff like that. our ideas were getting a bit dark so we lightened things up a bit. i feel like we have a good balance. once the final images have been completed, i'll be sure to send out them out. i'm quite excited. next thursday (day before beth comes over!!) we are going to take the pictures.

what else? i did up my taxes...i'm actually getting some money back. shit hot, i tell ya.

oooo, good news from my mom. i'm pretty darn soon i'll be back home for a bit at the end of april. yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! michelle, you guys are going to have to make room for me. and andrew schiller, i'm hoping that i can take you up on that ride to janesville from chi-town.

also, i keep meaning to email you nicole, so i hope that you are just reading this, but you should check out st. christopher's inn hostel. the london bridge one. i know the area well, it should be cheap. http://www.st-christophers.co.uk jennifer's friends can hopefully stay there. if i could, i'd shack em up in my room, but as you'll see when you're here....we shall be saradines, all toasty and cozy though of course. i'm getting really excited to see the dunn bros girls....i bet you'll all be smelling great like coffee :) and you're going to ICELAND!!! rocket.

anyway----i've got to go put my laundry in the dryer....oh i do enjoy spending that couple of quid to dry one load of clothes (and then find out that they aren't even dry....grrrrr)

newsflash

and i just found out a little news......

congrats to amy benedict!! she's getting married in july. all you crazy people getting married and such. it's weird how we're all getting older and more adult like. i'm actually ready, really ready, to have a proper adult job. and i'm oddly okay with all of the marriages happening....as long as they are other people's weddings....i have absolutely no intention of getting hitched myself. and though i'm okay with all of this stuff (and turning a solid 25) and everything...i'm still going to continue being the silly kid i am....chair dancing and all

SNOW!!!!

there is snow in london!!!!

this afternoon i went down to costa to get a mocha before our meeting with kate (who is editing the campervan book i'm working on at my internship). i saw some dark clouds and thought they looked snowy. there have been rumours circulating about snow, but i wasn't going to believe them. i went back into the building and looked out the window--suddenly it was super dark and there was a blizzard outside!!!!!!!

now it is snowing again and there is actually snow on the ground. had a little snowball fight. B-U-T-fullll. i know it'll all be gone by morning, but it's very nice to look at now.
