so, london !

i am once again useless, as is my memory, so lets try rememeber my trip last week.
i forgot how much i missed everyone.

tuesday.
i'm on the train to london and i'm on a 4-seater table with a family who wouldn't stop throwing cards everywhere, great.
then a Chinese guy gets a phone call for around 2 hours, so cue me glaring at him the whole time because he was SO loud and i refuse to believe what he was speaking was actually a language.
so, i get to london, it is roasting and i was sweating buckets by the time i got to the hostel, yet everyone around me was wrapped up in coats and scarves. guess we're just built better in the north. rugged. so first impressions of the hostel were AMAZING. wow, it's so nice, the building, the inside and the people.
i put my stuff down and sort mysoulf out a bit and head straight back out, go on a quick wander, end up on oxford street so i go to selfridges to see if chew was working, no dice.
so i hop back on the tube (with very tired legs) and go off to st pancreas to get on a train to st albans to go chill with George !
an hour later i'm chilling in Starbucks with george talking about some weird kid, when he walks in with Jamie, Colin and some other guys, then we couldn't shake him for the rest of the night.
for some reason there were 6 police cars, 2 police helicopters and a pack of dogs running around but we never really found out why.
then we go to nandos, cause it turns out the weird kid (josh) has a date that he was supposed to see but she was late, so we went in and sat down and me and george had a bowl of chips, while charlie and jamie had massive plates of burgers, which they messed about with A LOT. so joshs date turns up and talks to one of joshs friends the whole time instead of josh, then leaves 20 minutes later. OH and i cried with laughter when some kid was walking up the stairs infront of us, broke into a happy skip and fell straight on his face, colin just burst out laughing at him and its definitely making me laugh a lot right now.
after all that we go to the pub and chill with some nice non-alcoholic pear cider, it was pretty nice and i keep trying to remember to see if we have any at work.
so after that we go to mcdonalds drive through and park next to a bin, we throw josh out of the car to walk home, then decide to follow him, he starts running for some reason so we overtook him and parked near his house, then hid by his front door, he took forever getting back for some reason and he wasn't scared when we jumped out at him, but never mind. he invites us in and we go chill in his room for a bit. colin digs around EVERYTHING in his room, finds some real treasures haha. went looking for the SAHC 4 LIFE shirt but no luck.

wednesday.
had a shopping morning !
got up and out pretty early as i had already been down oxford street and back before uniqlo opened at 10
spent hideous amounts of money and had my first primark experience, terrifying. haha
so after that i get a call from alex and i hop on over to soho to chill for his lunch break. he's a vegan fag now so we had to go find vegan places to eat and he bought a marzipan covered in dark choclate bar, sounds yummy. i felt like getting a vegan burger or something but i couldnt bring myself to do it.
i hop on back over to st albans to chill with george colin and jamie. there was set to be a photoshoot by jamie for colins band, but that wasnt happening anymore so george took me out into the middle of nowhere to chow me some scary places. first we went down some awful tiny little roads to a lane at the bottom of luton airport runway, where the planes go ridiculously close to your head, after chilling and talking about ghosts we go to an abandoned castle to try and prepare me for harperbury, which is an abandoned hospital that they always go take photos in, i was scared. we roll up to the castle after a nice long drive down the worst road i've ever seen. it's SO muddy i get mud up to my knees, but we trek on anyway and chill at the castle a while, i get cold and scared tho so we go back and leave after seeing 2 guys with a gun haha.
we go back to st albans and go to 'the toffy tower' which is where colin, robin and toffy live, chill in colins room with jamie, colin and george, who seemed to be my main chillers for the week. we order a pizza, with some chicken dip ? then some guy called james come round, we chill till silly o clock in the morning then george takes me home again.

thursday.
i had a bit of a lye in, or a lot of a lye in, sorted myself out and decided to go to the party that the guys were going to in maidstone tongiht. i get to st albans and it turns out the parties been cancelled, oh well. we found somehting else to do, so we drove into london and ended up at some crazy underground bowling alley/live music club/kareoke booths/bar/club. colin knew a girl that worked there and she took us through this tiny door in one of the karaoke booths, behind the machinery of the bowling alley through another little corridoor and we popped out in another underground bowling alley/swanky bar. it had a hot tub room
it was sweeet, we got in and chilled on the sofas until the crazy metalheads started appearing (it was cannibal corpses aftershow party) there were some crackers in there...
one guy definitely took all his style tips from murderdolls.
there was the blonde girl air guitaring in the middle of the club, swinging her hair around and everything, she was loving it.
and our personal favourite, the simple headbanger/singalonger next to us.
so many wierd people for one room


i'll finish this later my hand hurts and it's probably painfully boring to read.
