Well.
This is awkward.
Or maybe it's not, in which case great. I don't know why I'm so shit at blogging. I apologise.
Anyway, I am currently sat in an airport, waiting for my flight to be ready for my to board. I arrived here in New York City at 3 in the afternoon, and now it is quarter to 8. My flight has been delayed at does not leave until half 9. It seems like such a waste that I should be sitting in one of the greatest cities in the world, and I can't experience it at all because I can't leave the airport.
Ah well. It's all right because I've just come from another one of the greatest cities in the world. I've been so ridiculously absent from the internet for months that you'd only know this if you follow me on Twitter, but for the past ten weeks, I have been living and working in London.
I have way too many stories to try to put them all down in one blog post, and I'm still a bit fresh from the whole thing right now (besides, according to my internal clock it should rightly be 1 in the morning right now, not 8 at night, so I'm majorly sleepy), but I'd like to try to record some of the best stories here, starting at the beginning. So I'm going to start on that in the next few days and hopefully get through the most noteworthy of tales from my time in England (and, briefly, France).
As it is, I am currently not too happy to be back in the Land Of The Free. I mean, don't get me wrong, America's great, but I made myself a very nice home in London. I found myself very comfortable in that city, and it had started to become mine. My flat, my workplace, my restaurants, my walking paths, my church, my friends. I loved it there. I loved the people I found. I miss them all very much already and I miss the city. I miss the Southbank and miss St. Paul's and I miss my stations (Victoria, and then Waterloo), and I miss the Gherkin, and I miss Snog frozen yogurt, and I miss all of the places I lived (five in total), and God forbid I even miss Soho. I miss my workplace and my coworkers and most of all I miss my wonderful friends. They are wonderful. It hurts for me to think that I don't get to see them all the time anymore.
And on that cheery note, I think I shall end this post. I do have many stories of silliness and homelessness and riots and trying to find Maureen Johnson. It was an amazing time, and I can't wait to go through it with you all (with pictures, probably).
Oh and also I went to Disney World for my 21st birthday. Maybe I'll write about that too.
Cheers

Oh my god, I have a blog!
Hey, guys. Long time no see.
I kind of want to get back into blogging, but every time I say that, I blog twice and then give up for another three months or so. So I guess we'll see how this pans out.
My best friend Lauren is blogging every day this year, which is an admirable feat, but anyway a few days ago she mentioned that she's tempted to start all of her blog entries like Captain Kirk started every episode of Star Trek, and I've gotta admit, I'm facing the same temptation. Probably mostly because I've been watching The Original Series with my little sister a LOT recently. I was pretty much raised on Voyager and The Next Generation, and I LOVE AND ADORE the new JJ Abrams reboot (I'm beginning to think I'd love and adore anything that JJ Abrams creates, though -- I already feel that way about Christopher Nolan), and I've somehow managed to be always familiar with the characters and vernacular of TOS, but this is the first time I've actually gone through and watched the episodes of TOS. I'm enjoying it a little too much, maybe.
So yes, that's what I've been doing. Star Trek-y things. Also, I just went to North Carolina, which was fun. I went snow tubing, which was just amazingly and ridiculously fun. It was so good to see snow. I love snow. I never get to see snow. It was lovely.
I've also been on Tumblr. A lot. And watching a TON of movies over break while I still can. So far, I've watched Love Actually, Revolutionary Road, The Holiday, Just Friends, this ridiculous movie called Swimfan, Fight Club, 28 Days Later, Zombieland and Kick-Ass -- and those are only the the movies I hadn't seen before. I've also watched Carriers and Inception...and some other movies that I'd already seen but don't really remember. Lots of movies. I've been enjoying it. The weird thing about being a film major is when you study films so much that you don't have the time to watch films. I've got Blood Diamond, Definitely Maybe, Never Let Me Go and The Hangover waiting for me, as well as a few other tentative movies I might try to watch before I go back to school next Tuesday. I'm also trying to finish up Merlin, watch season two of Lie To Me, and Being Human starts again soon, so we'll see how this goes. I also really really really want to see Black Swan and Tangled before I get too busy. And I still haven't seen The Social Network. Oh yeah, and we're trying to catch up on Bones and finished Buffy. So yeah.
Well, that makes it sound like all I do is watch TV and movies. I promise, that's not the case.
Anyway, I'm sort of bored of blogging now, so you must be bored of reading. I'll go now.
