today is Boxing Day. in england they have *3* days of xmas (xmas eve, xmas day, and boxing day). on christmas eve most of the young people go to clubs and its the biggest night of the year for clubbing. then they have christmas day like a traditional christmas day. then boxing day (originally the day to give gifts to the servants and public service providers like your milk man), everything is still closed and they have another meal.
the girls have gone home now so its just kristie and me. this morning we baked a cake. we dont really have any plans to go out since everything will be closed.

ive added the pix from our xmas slumber party and the cake to the picture gallery.

PS – exactly one month till my birthday. 24 is old. its almost 25, which is almost mid-twenties.

It’s officially Christmas Day. All the boys have gone home for christmas, and emily and american laura are spending the night tonight here with kristie and me. we had hors d’orveurs (sp?) and played a game similar to taboo called articulate. one person describes a word and the other person has to guess it. no laura, “christmas day virgin island” is not a place, the answer is Christmas Island.

ok so btwn craig and the site admin guy, ive figured out how to upload my videos to the website and have added a link for them. all my old videos were lost when the old laptop died, but ive put up some of the new ones.

Yesterday emily and i went to the museum of natural history. it was a really neat museum, more like a science museum than an art museum (the national gallery ) or artifact museum (the british museum). we saw both casts and actual skeletons of dinosaurs. then theres a mammal section thats got all these stuffed (as in taxidermy not plush) animals of all different kinds. it was really neat – we had a grat time. ill put some pix up later on. then we both went home to get ready to go out. emily and laura (american laura, not the canadian laura we usually hang out with) came over and made pizza. once wed eaten and gotten ready the four of us then met with canadian laura and we went to a club called Strawberry Moons which is also owned by the same people as Digress City where Kristie works. one of the guys that kristie works with at digress also bartends at Strawberry Moons so we got all our drinks from him. quote from kristie “he’s the most beautiful man ive ever met in my entire life.” hes in some of the pix from the club, but they “dont do him justice” cause hes pretty hot. the club was sooo much fun cause instead of playing hip hop music like most the clubs, it was playing stuff like bon jovi and nickelback. plus its always fun when a bunch of us girls go out. lots of pictures from that night to come as well. when we went to leave the club it was rainy and cold (plus we were all wearing tank tops!) and kristies feet her, so rather than walk to trafalgar square and waiting twenty mins in the rain for the bus to come, the three of us leyton girls (we said bye to the lauras) got a cab all the way from piccadilly circus (where the club was) back to leyton. cost us L10 each but it was well worth it. emily spent the night with us so today when we got up, the 3 of us went and got breakfast together and then went to stratford mall to go shopping. kristie and i got our ears pierced 🙂 wed both been wanting to get it done for awhile now but hadnt had the time. i think it was cheaper than the claires back home, too. all three of us bought new earrings. we went to some other clothing stores and i bought a belt and a necklace and they each bought a club shirt. after a quick dinner at mcdonalds we then all went to ASDA to do our grocery shopping (K and I hadnt been in weeks). it was fun having emily around all weekend and we got to do a lot of stuff.

PS – Ive added the pix from last weekend in paris and from around london when paul was here. i get my engagement pix back tomorrow so monday night those and the ones from this weekend will be put up as well.

we are back from paris and im officially engaged!!! stories and pix to come soon!!

Rachel returns to new york this saturday. Last night I went out with Emily, Laura, and Rachel to Digress City (where Kristie was working). We just sat around and hung out for a few hours. It was really fun to have a Girls Night Out…too bad it was because it was our last time hanging out with Rachel.

the laptop is DEAD!! i can currently only access the internet when im at work. the world is coming to an end!!!

On sunday night Kristie and I had thanksgiving dinner at the carvery. like id mentioned in a previous post, the carvery serves a traditional thanksgiving meal on sundays for only £8 (since im at work i actually have a £ on my keyboard instead of using my ghetto L). we were joined by emily, james, darren, martin, and nigel for our feast. we had a really great time 🙂

monday after work kristie and i met up at ASDA to do our grocery shopping, and we bought a christmas tree!! emily came over for a taco dinner and then we put on christmas music (kristie said it was “very ally christmas music” cause all the songs are done by rock bands. theres a very pretty techno version of oh holy night) and put up the tree. the tree came with white lights and gold decorations. by the time it was up it looked really pretty (pix to come).

today is tuesday (“groovy tuesdays” to quote martin) so well be going over to the guys’ house for dinner tonight and a movie.

all for now…love and miss everyone!!
