Dumb American Slut

ok... i'm in trouble! hehe
so one of the first nights i was here Christine and I met these people in the lift who live 2 floors above us. We were coming back from a random party which we were spontaneously invited to (this happens all the time) anyway, our new friends in the lift invited us to their flat and everyone was just hanging out in the kitchen. One guy, Jed, was really drunk and kept saying 'I wish I didnt have a girlfriend' you know, the usual shit guys with girlfriends say when theyre drunk and want to hook up with someone else. Except when its me they usually say 'fuck the girlfriend lets hook up anyway.' but no, Jed didnt want to cheat on his girlfriend so i respected that. im not about to make anyone do anything they dont want to do.

side note - i beat Jed in a game i like to call Harry Potter trivia where we go back and forth asking each other Harry Potter related questions to see who knows more about HP. i do.

So last night, i went into central london with my flatmates Shipa and Christine, and Shipa's friend Martin, and Martins flatmates Felicity and Grace. After we came back to campus, i was sitting at my computer checking my facebook and things before going to bed when i got a text message from Jed saying 'i dumped my girlfriend yesterday' he also said that he had just woken up and his flat was empty, so i asked if he wanted company. he said his flat is boring and asked if he could come to mine instead. when he came over he just sat down on my bed and told me about his whole situation and whatever. then he laid down in my bed and motioned for me to lay next to him, so i did and then HE kissed ME. I didnt make a move on him, I didnt take advantage of his vulnerable state, i just went with it. We didnt have sex or anything, we just made out a bit. Then he decided to leave because he didnt want to do anything else at the moment. he said we should hang out again, but he needed to think over his situation or whatever.

I woke up this morning to the ring of my mobile and the caller id said it was Jed, so i picked up. It was NOT jed. its his girlfriend who he told that he hooked up with me and now she's like flipping out at me calling me a whore and a 'dumb american slut' and i kept hanging up on her and then she texted me saying shes going to fuck me up and i better be gone by the time she gets down here. and i texted her back saying that shes completely blaming the worng person. I didn't take advantage of her boyfriend for my own personal gratification, thats not how i am. Yea i've hooked up with guys who have girlfriends, but thats only because they want to. As far as i can remember i have never actively pursued anybody. i just go with the flow and if a guy wants to hook up with me and i think hes cute i go for it. But i dont scout out the ones who are involved and try to break up their relationship. im not too concernedabout this chick though, i dont think she'll actually do anything to me. and if she does come down here and attempt to 'fuck me up' we'll probably end up having a chat about how she has every right to be upset about what her EX-boyfriend did, but she cant blame me for it and he technically didnt do anything wrong but its more his fault than mine and then this chick and i will bond in our anger with jed and we can fuck him up instead. Dont think im not pissed that he told his girlfriend that i took advantage of him. He can make his own decisions. As the americans say, fuck that shit.

anyway, i've got to go make biscuits for my flatmats because they call cookies biscuits and have never had real american biscuits

Just touched down in London town

so, i decided to write this blog (hopefully the first in a series of blogs) to let anyone who is interested know what I've been up to here in the UK. also i can avoid having to repeat everything like 300 times. yea, i know i didnt 'just touch down' i touched down last monday in the new terminal 5 at heathrow airport where i was wisked away to the lovely thistle hotel in kensington gardens.

i was unable to get free internet so i picked up a mobile phone with an international plan. if you intend to ring me from the states (though i don't recommend it because it can be quite costly for you) the number is 011-44-750-391-4395. I'm not sure if the international code is the same if you're ringing from another country but i'll let you figure that out. Also, my mobile number will change when i run out of money and switch to the sim card that came with my phone (brits use sim cards and i dont really understand it)

Kensington Gardens was similar to canada in that i ate subway in a park. The peter pan statue hasnt changed since march 2007, but then again, when does anything change in England?

getting to more interesting aspects of my life - i found a beer that i actually like! its called Früli and its strawberry flavoured! delicious delicious! my tolerance for alcohol has definitely increased, likely because i wont drink anything other than water or tea if its not spiked.

anyway, i hooked up with an english bloke called ... shit i forgot his name (its not very important) he ended up staying in my hotel room for the night and i kept waking up and wondering why he was still there, but its ok he was cute.

I finally got to Queen Mary yesterday after a week of orientation and homestay. i stayed with a cute british family in the english countryside! we went to a food festival (free samples of awesome foods, wines, and ciders) and we went shopping in kidderminster (i got awesome shoes)i met 3 of my 5 flatmates yesterday and we went to a traffic light party at the campus bar/club where i had 2 shots of tequila and 3 VKs and didnt throw up! go me! i'm hoping it stays that way for the next three months but i dont count on it. well, i've got to get ready for some international student reception dinner (aka free food)

cheers!
