Afternoon Delight

Today was the last day of classes! yay!

Today i also participated in the great british tradition of going to pubs in the middle of the day and just drinking and getting wasted all day! its absolutely fantastic. so, I had an exam today and when we were finished, the entire class headed over to the nearest pub (the new globe) to get drinks. this was around 12:45/1:00 ish. of course, the lecturer came along as well (it was actually his idea for all of us to go). when we first got there i bought myself 2 drinks called 'cheeky V' (its 2 for a fiver, so you have to get 2) so, cheeky V is a shot of port mixed with WKD which is a vodka based alcopop, so basically, it gets you pretty wasted. So i had that, and then Matt, the lecturer, bought sambuca shots for the entire class which is about 40 or 50 people! the shots are only one pound each, but still that's insane! if you're wondering either what my lecturer looks like or what the fuck the picture on this post is, put the two together. yea, that is a picture of my teacher taken off of his facebook. i believe i may have told him whilst i was drunk that i had creeped his facebook, but now we're friends so i feel like its ok. so anyway, i was already starting to feel a bit drunk and it was only like 2pm! (which is also when my econ seminar started, but needless to say, i did not attend) by the time i'd left the pub at 6:00, i had drunk the 2 cheeky Vs, the sambuca, and either 4 or 5 double rum & cokes. i think the only way to find out how much i actually drank would be to count my money and figure it out from that.

oh casey, i was talking to Matt about you! well actually, he brought you up! we were talking about how young he is (he's 30, but he looks like 24/25ish.) so we were talking about how were all really in the same age group and i said how i have friends who are older than he is. and he was like 'yea, like john.' and i asked, 'who's john?' and he's all trying to convince me that i clearly know somebody named john so he says, 'you know, JOHN, he's friends with casey.' so i told him that i actually do have a friend called casey and he was like 'yea! and she has a friend, john, creepy john!' and then i thought of your friend john and i cant remember his last name but like we hung out with him on halloween like 5 years ago. i think it starts with a W ... it was funny.

anyway, i got back from the pub round 6:00 and fell asleep (i had only slept 2 hours the night before) and then my flatemates cooked dinner for christine and me and they gave us these pictures they took where they're each holding up a letter and it says 'we love you!' it was soo cute! and they got us a cake too! after dinner, i was feeling pretty sick. its so wierd feeling hungover at like 10pm! so i did the only logical thing to do when you're hungover, i went out and got drunk again! yay for alcoholism? whatever, i like to consider it a cultural experience.

so, i will be coming home in about 2 weeks, and im sad and excited at the same time. the one thing i really miss more than anything is taco bell! i dont know how i've survived so long without it. the first thing i'm gonna do when i get home is DRIVE to taco bell (if i still remember how to drive) oh man, it's gonna be great! also, i am in need of new years plans, so give me some options people!

I'm tired of rumours startin

you may have heard rumours that i was seen snorting cocaine off Lindsay Lohan's tits in a posh nightclub on wednesday ...

unfortunately, that wasnt me :( instead i was just seen queuing outside for three hours. despite being on the guestlist, kelly and i were denied entry after showing up unfashionably late. the club was full so they closed the guestlist, but i did get a half-way decent photo of Lindsay in her car! by the way, she is sooo pretty in real life! and she was like smiling and laughing the whole time too. what an attention whore! but she's so fucking hot!

paparazzi are so funny! they kept running up and down the street whenever they thought a celebrity was arriving. the only celebs actually seen at this nightclub were lindsay and her girlfriend (who was DJing the event) and a few C-listers who nobody really cares about. One of the photogs said that he saw Katy Perry earlier that day and another took a picture of me with his crazy camera that flashed like 32987402 times! it was kind of creepy, actually. but i started talking to him, asking if he got the 'money-shot' and he was like 'nah, no beaver ... no fire-crotch for me tonight.' i'm so upset that i couldn't get in! like, i would not give up though. i seriously tried everything i could think of, short of offering the bouncers sexual favours (although i may have hinted that i would) and eventually, after some drunk guy who already had a table in the club couldn't get us in, and after kelly dragged me away from the door, we gave up and went home. it would have been so cool if we'd gotten into the club, but atleast i got to see my hetero-girl crush up close! <3

i forgot a title on that last one ... eh, fuck it

so, i feel like i should be blogging all about my week in amsterdam and dublin, but tbh i dont really remember most of it! yea, i did some touristy things, i got high, it was ace. amsterdam = most terrifying city in the world. we almost got robbed/raped/killed about a million times. i actually did have my shoes stolen from the hostel. also, i spilt a bottle of water in my purse, temporarily destroying my camera and mobile phone and permanently destroying my ipod (r.i.p. squishy deux) that's why i only have about 12 pictures from last week, but fortunately kelly and christine took pictures so you can see all the ones that im tagged in on facebook. i bought a new ipod in london on saturday (il duce) its a classic and apparently it only comes with 120 gigs now. i dont think ill ever use all that space! maybe ill put some more movies on.

so amsterdam was fun, dublin was safer.

ugh, i went to the duty free in amsterdam to buy cigs and the lady asked if london was my final destination, and being retarded i told her truthfully that im going to dublin after and since i didnt have a boarding pass for dublin/because she thought i said dubai she wouldnt let me buy cigarettes because something about the eu and i was just like 'you're a crazy bitch'

that reminds me! like everyone in the world was out to get us this week (no, it wasnt just paranoia from the weed). on a bus in amsterdam, the crazy bus driver closed the doors at our stop when we were about to get off and just drove on to the next stop and she was staring right at us! we had to get off at the next stop and walk, but it wasnt too far. it was soo mean though! and i feel like there was another similar incident but i cant remember at the mo.

anyway, so i couldnt get my cigs in amsterdam and they were too expensive in london so i was gonna get them coming back from dublin, but of course i forgot. now i roll my own cigarettes like a real brit! its fun, im not too terrible at it (i had practice with joints in amsterdam) and on some website it said that people who roll their own are mavericks! yay i'm sarah palin!

speaking of which, yay obama! everyone in england is really happy!

Absynthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse

Ahh! it's almost halloween! everyone is getting ready for all the crazy fancy dress parties! i actually saw a flyer for a bar that was giving away prizes for 'best fancy dress' and i was just like, 'my dress isn't fancy, it's slutty.' and then my kind british friends informed me that 'fancy dress' simply means costume. so there are a lot of COSTUME parties to attend in the next few days.

Day after Halloween (at 3am to be exact) it's off to gatwick airport to catch our 6:25 flight to amsterdam! I have decided to give weed another try. I mean, how can you go to amsterdam and not smoke? i'll just have to drink a lot of water and hope i don't get sick. i'll be in amsterdam until the 4th and then its off to dublin, but we have a change-over in london, so i will be in three different countries in one day! i'll be back on the 7th and i'll write all about my travels. that is, if i don't have a shit load of coursework to do when i get back.

theres not too much going on here ... my flatmate, Simon, beat the 'vodka challenge' and then smashed his face on the concrete. he's ok now, but it was pretty scary at the time. I was chatted up by quite a few east londoners at the bar last night ... kinda creepy. i think it was because i was wearing my friend martin's sexy button-down shirt that HE usually wears when he's trying to pull. i think it works better for me.

in case anyone is wondering - the title of this post has nothing to do with anything, i just picked the best song title off my itunes playlist. i like it, and i guess it's sorta fitting with the amsterdam thing. they have absynthe there right?

cheers loves!

i just realised there are comments ...

jude law and a semester abroad is the name of a brand new song (download it, it's good)

i remembered the name of the guy i had sex with (well i didnt, christine did) it was joey. that doesnt sound familiar but christine says she's positive.

and yes danielle, i know what you're referencing when you said i have a slutty name. i should message tim on facebook and hang out with him.

ps. i have a lot more to say, but i feel i've done enough posting tonight so there will be more to come soon. cheers!
