Christmas eve Underground

So people do all kinds of things on the tube, Christmas eve, I seen a woman wrapping a present.  She was actually hilarious. From the moment she sat down and began her attempts at wrapping, i could not help but laugh, she noticed and laughed quite a bit herself.
at one point the woman sat at her left, goes "well i've seen woman putting make-up on before, but never wrapping gifts"
and the gift wrapper goes, "i never thought it would be me"
she actually had this really beautiful wrapping paper (gorgeous colors, and embossed with butterflies and lilies), which i had wanted to ask from where it came, but did not want to delay the wrapping in any ways.
The highlight of her task, and come just minutes before she finished (the end result was hmmm, something my 3 month old nephew could probably get away with) she had managed to get the paper around the gift (up until that point had been under wraps LOL, uh i couldn't see what it actually was), but had failed to secure the paper to the object in hand properly.  Having thought she secured the paper around the gift she then turned it, un wrapped ends going up and down, when oops! the copy of the Karma Sutra that was hidden inside slid out onto the floor!
Luckily, she managed to slide it back in sideways and finish the wrapping, having managed to bring a little christmas cheer and laughter to her fellow underground travellers.
But, LOL, it was def. the funniest moment of my underground journeys thus far

my stupid blog

ugh, wrote a long post on my phone teh other nite, but for some reason it wouldn't post!!! so frustrating after typing away on that tiny lil ol' keyboard thingy.
i still feel like i wanna get regular style phone, i cant seem to find an app for aim, which was the whole intent of getting that phone in the first place (well tlhat and the skype, which has been amazing for talking to my family over the holidays).
anyways, i will figure it out, and then i can update my blog via mobile phone, and that will be awesome.
OHH, yea i was trying to post a funny photo! will transfer photo from phone to email to blog now. woot!

nearly christmas.....!

it snowed! i love it. its inconvenient, but i feel like what is the point of it being cold if its not gonna snow?  why waste cold on, like, nothing?  everything looks absolutely amazing covered in snow. dalston market looks brilliant covered in snow.
believe me, i am NOT a winter person. i hate the cold, my hands hate it, my feet hate it, i just cant get away from it come winter, it gets stuck in my bones every time i go for a run, it attacks my throat and lungs just thinking about it, but yea, snow, too nice.
i have to say, that so far, this has been possibly my first time accepting winter, and maybe slightly enjoying it. im not even doing anything in it, just walking and running here and there. but i dont feel miserable. im cold, but im not freezing.  i dont think im upset about it like i usually am. i dunno. i might be.... ok with it.....
ahh man, im like happy and excited, and i have actually no real reason to be. probably legitimate reasons not to be, but i cant help it.
im starting to feel like myself again....

light time!

i like all kinds of lights, i like real light, like sunlight, i like light bulbs, i like glow sticks... lol. i love things made out of paper too. so when i see lights and paper together...!! christmas time is the best for lights and paper! cant't wait!!

shoes

I now change my shoes at least 3 times a day. 3 different pairs i mean.  one of them looks like paint exploded on my foot (one shoe of one of the  pairs).  On my way back from work this evening (yes, yes, i have a job. working girl. independent, modern woman... HA), sitting on the central line, my shoe got noticed.  i was just sat down holding my bag on my lap, looking at my hands, when i noticed the guy across from me's head turn immediately towards my shoe. He was not subtle about it at all, and gave me the best look, not once, but multiple times during our journey that covered only 4 stops.  the first time he gave me the look, i just shrugged.  The fact that he AGAIN gave me his bewildered, disapproving look made me smile.  The THIRD TIME! I actually laughed, and had to endure his stares the rest of the trip. Which actually wasn't that bad bc they were given in a funny manner, and he was the one drawing attention to himself... and not terrible to look at either.
what a shoe...

!

MARIAH CAREY.

Hez zicur home.....

or according to my phone "Hey whats good"......

Something very weird has happened to my mobile phone, this is not your average "not getting the texts people send me kinda thing (although that is another problem it has)"
For some reason the predictive text has gone insane. its actually going to make me crazy i think, but i cant afford a new phone so im guessing sometime very soon people will start receiving weird messages from me when i get too frustrated to type in every single word.

Here are some examples of my new artsy predictive texting:

ross dopin un cee that = sorry forgot to add that
hez mon tigr ip my ul number = hey mom this is my uk number
roundr grec red you later = sounds great see you later


I mean i really love predictive text word mistakes. im into that book shiv an all that, i have actually typed text message errors in instant messaging. i get it that bad. but honestly this is too much!

Visa Gold

my plans for this week are to have everything in order to apply for my visa at the end of the month.  Get ahold of all the documents i need, or at least find out how to get them... it is really the big thing that is giving my insane anxiety at the moment. and i cant wait til its all sorted!
and then i am going to get a big cat. and then i will be happy.

canal walk

i went to london and got a job.
This  morning i decided to walk along the canal to the angel tube station, as i would have a 4.5 hour bus journey ahead of me with no physical movement at all (i moved my thumbs quite a bit actually, as i ended up playing pokemon on game boy for nearly 3 hours straight before falling asleep for the remainder of the amazing bus extravaganza).  I woke up earlier than i expected to and decided to just get out and get some fresh air, enjoying the fact that it was clear out, no rain and a lil bit of sun.  As i began my walk along the canal, boats resting sleepily along the shores, bicycles whizzing by, I noticed another walker, obviously a girl as she was clearly wearing a skirt and a pink backpack.
(pink backpacks are somewhat funny to me.... i had a friend once, rather two friends, im not friends with either of them any more, for very different reasons.  ANYWAY one was a boy, we used to go to the library together to study, i mostly just fell asleep though.... one evening, the other friend, a girl, seen me dozing away, dreaming about collegiate things,  and came by and said hello. yea, hi, this and that, etc. then she left. a lil while later the friend that was a boy starts talking about her, asking me questions and stuff.
and im like, "WHO? what friend?! what you talking about?!"
and he is like "Pink Backpack"
"Who the hell is Pink Backpack?!"
"that girl that talked to you in the library"
"she had a Pink Backpack?"
"yea"
"she has a real name too if you wanna know it"
"nah, thats ok"
and she was referred to as Pink Backpack for the remainder of our friendship, even when her name was found out, and after serious, awkward situations involving said persons came up....)
Ah yes! Back to my canal adventure....
ok. So I took particular notice of this pink backpacked lass, and noticed that we remained the same distance apart the entirety of the walk. Until... suddenly a second pink backpacked girl appeared along side her! I got lost in my thoughts, surroundings and trying to avoid being knocked down by the bicycles passing by, when i realized i was a few paces away from the backpacked school girls (it was apparent at this distance that they were school girls, uniformed and obviously on their way to get their daily learnings).
They were staring VERY intently into the murky canal, which was littered with various floating items, then suddenly turned away. as i approached i noticed that pink backpack number one was crying, and pink backpack number two was hugging her.
"There's nothing we can do it's already dead."
"Who would drown a cat in the canal!"
I got a glimpse of the floating orange tabby and could not stand to look for more than the moment that it took me to realize what they were talking about.
"But we can't just leave it there, we can't just leave it floating there!"
"Well we aren't going to fish it out"
"Then we should call someone to come take it  out.  its awful. It probably got hit by one of the stupid bicycles and fell in"
Too true. honestly, stupid bicycles.  I wanted to vom, but couldn't actually open my mouth.
