"Duct tape fixes everything." -Kelsi..."Except my heart!" -Tracey mocking Jordan

And we're back...we went to a place in Hammersmith today in which William Morris resided for the last twelve years of his life. If you don't know who William Morris is by now, you probably should stop reading my blog. Then we went to a pub, hung out for a bit, got a bite to eat and then spent 45 minutes on the tube getting back to our side of town. Just a note, the west side of London is a really really really really long way away. When it was just Tracey and me, we were waiting for the train and Tracey said something about her boyfriend and a guy walked up to us and said, "Excuse me, did you just say I was good looking?" We started laughing...I said, "No, but she said something about her boyfriend!" Then he started laughing and we just talked for a while. Turns out he's from Africa and is in London now as an engineer of some sort. He said that he'd been to the States a few times and asked what we were doing in London and we said studying...and he asked why we didn't take more vacations and we told him because of work and everything...he said he gets five weeks of vacation...we reminded him not to work in America because he would work at one place for like two years and have less than a week in vacation time. But, he was really nice and gave me his business card...I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it though...

Pictures are as follows:

There are girls and boys here from Florida State...and wow...Let me write down a few of the things that I've heard come out of their mouths, and as you read them, make sure to use a valley-girl accent or condescending tone:

Broad #1: Uh, like, oh my god, it like, totally smells like dog poop in the like hallway...and I don't mean it's like a good smell...

(Not sure any dog poop has a good smell...but alright)

Tracey: blah blah Ireland blah random places blah Scotland blah England blah, we should go to Stonehenge!
Kelsi: OMG! Yeah!! Great idea!!
Broad #2: Uh, Stonehenge is in England, not Scotland.
Tracey: We know, we are listing places around here we'd like to visit...

(DUH. And who invited you to our conversation anyway??)

Jerk face #1: B*%$£ get me some food! (yes he was talking to his girlfriend in all seriousness)
Broad #3: Ok, hunny, what do you want?

(I dare my boyfriend to talk to me like that...find out what happens...)

Broad #4: OMG I like totally know...I like had anthropology like last semester and like I went to class to like just sleep...

As I rememember others, I'll write them down...watch for updates! They're doozies! But in all honesty I'm not sure I will have others...we heard them say they'll be home in 52 hours...darn...I'm all torn up about that...I guess we'll just have to pick on the UCONN kids next! *evil laugh*

Another funny commercial: A man and a woman are at a restaurant getting ready to eat and the man orders lobster and the waiter brings a live lobster out and it looks at the guy and he doesn't eat it...They take the lobster home with them alive...He comes home later to find random things that belong to the lobster around the house...enter bedroom...finds the rubber bands to keep the lobster's claws together on the bed...enter bathroom...finds woman and lobster in the bathtub together and the lobster is flirting and doing things that could probably be technically classified as beastiality...Next scene: Man and woman at restaurant, man eating lobster. **DISTURBING**

That's all for today, I've got some reading to do! HA!
