Do you want to know how Londoners get rid of their rubbish? The building next door to ours has been under construction since we moved in here (yes, it's been extremely noisy and we are going out of our minds). The contractors gutted the building back in August and threw all of the cabinets, dry wall, floorboards, etc. into our joint back "yard." They have...

I looked out the window today and made eye contact with a man who decided to drop his pants and do a little urination show for me. When I yelled and waved my hands at him he proceeded to give me the middle finger and play fireman. This place is weird, I do not find public urination sexy.
I wasn't brave enough to get my haircut this week. Heh. I'll do it Monday...nervous, nervous. Ugh, it's weird because you look around and everyone has relatively descent haircuts, where are they getting them?? Surely not in Camden Town (unless they have to sell their souls in order to pay for a good one).
Anyhoo, the radiator is still broken and it is FREEZING in...

You can't get in SGUK coz you need two vouches and it seems that I'm the only person vouching for you. I'm sorry. It's nothing to do with your blogs etc.
Wow. Okay so someone does read this, so I might actually make a better attempt to write more. 
Some days the city sucks all of the energy out of you because it is so crowded and it just takes so long to commute to anywhere(and it's SO dirty and crowded in the tubes). There's the drizzley rain that never stops. It's dark all the time...

good luck w/ interviewing strangers and w/ the haircut.

I'd recommend places to get your hair done if I wasn't as scared about it as you. I have found a place down near me which didn't butcher my hair but it's nothing special.
Does anyone read this or should I just give up?
nanci:
I read it!
This weekend was amazing. I actually ventured out into the city in order to put a stop to my hermitic behaviors. I guess I'll never get acclaimated to London life if I stay in my teeny tiny flat. Anyway, I went to a great concert at the Roundhouse and then went to a pub with some friends. It was really nice to get out...and I...

So I never keep up with my blog due to lack of time. I have great intentions, but I never actually follow through. I'm completely insane, I get online and then I just start googling things and then those things lead me to more things which lead me to more things and then several hours go by. I guess my blog suffers, but it is...

A Hair Lesson:
As it turns out, you don't need a beautician's license to cut hair in this city. In fact, you don't even have to be trainedany average Joe or Jolene can charge you lots of money to cut your hair. (See where this is going). It is difficult deciding which hair salon to try here because there are so many of them. They...

Yeah, hairdressers in London can fucking suck. I'm lucky to have one that's not so bad where I live.
And yeah, a lot of people on here are pretty fake but get a bunch of girls together and you're likely to get a lot of weirdos. Don't get me started on some of the guys though.

Rain rain rain. Today I walked in the coooold rain and became rather grumpy. My stuff hasn't arrived here yet (I shipped it, but I got here first). So I'm missing my coat and warm clothes. 
I realize that you could care less about this stuff so I will stop talking about it.
Okay so here's a question for all you londoners... how do you...

I use the bus! That's how I cope. I can't stand the tube. I've become claustrophobic due to tube journeys so I avoid them now.
Hope your stuff turns up soon as I can only imagine how cold you must be. I'm bad enough and 90% of my wardrobe is winter clothing.

so you don't think sexism is alive?

I'll be teaching science...hopefully mainly chemsitry as it's what I did my first degree in.
I'm sorry you want cupcakes now. I'd give you one if I could; I have way too many!
The wedding is on 5 December so not really that long now.

The NFL coverage in the UK is freaking awesome. Tripleheaders (with 2 games to choose from for the early and late slots) every Sunday and the Monday nighter -- all live. Every playoff game too. Great presenters, less ads. Plus Total Access every day (except Monday when Sky does the repeats for the night before). Is sweet.
And if that wasn't enough, the Internet comes through -- here (which I'll be making use of this weekend since Sky aren;t showing the Lions game) & your baseball woes may be solved -- here. Like I say I haven't had the need to use it yet. If you use it before Sunday let me know how you get on.
Actually caught some of the MLB the other night while flicking away from that disgrace at Soldier Field. Lidge blows another one late. Funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

This is totally messed up... (it's not real, read the Newsweek article after looking at the website though. It will astonish you. I mean parents contacted the site to try and sell their own children!)

What you doing at uni? I'm at King's College doing my teacher training and living in south London.
There's a few really nice knitting shops. There's Loop, iKnit London and other ones. I have a really nice local one in East Dulwich.
PS You may want to post replies to comments in the comment bit rather than the testimonial bit.

i find it rather strange that the uk has this measurement system for whiskey. i haven't had a strong drink since i arrived here...i mean one whiskey and coke in oregon would be the equivalent of a quadruple shot mixer in london. i'm so disappointed. sigh.

lol...yeah, us Brits can't handle our liquour too well. Best shot is to buy a double and hope they don't put too much Coke in it!
