Hello my freaky darlings!I've been waiting to do that all week!
(It was closer to two weeks, really. I arrived in London on the 10th, and it is now the 21st. I have been eleven days without the Internet and it shows. I dreamt about Livejournal and commenting. I believe that is LJ withdrawal.
London, if I am to believe what I am told, has been unusually warm in the time I've been here. Unfortunately, even when I was back home, I would wander about in sweaters, so London's heat is still cold, to me.
I have missed all of you like Obi misses Qui.
At present I am at a Virgin Megastore Internet Cafe. It costs £1 for half an hour, here. It's on Tottenham Court Road. Just minutes ago I was across the road in Waterstones, reading Neil Gaiman graphic novels. I was reading The Wake. It was beautiful.
London is - Suffice to say (for now) that there are Young Adam posters in
every single Underground Station. I watched Underworld yesterday. Vampires and werewolves. Can't miss that. *tilts head and smiles* GOD it was wonderful. Although I did think of Kain and Raziel at moments. Underworld came out in London on September 19th. It'll come out in Singapore October 10th. I saw the trailer for the Matrix Revolutions. And it had Agent Smith laughing maniacally. ^_^ TWICE. I also saw an LXG trailer that had Mina saying, "I can do a
lot of things." Which I don't remember seeing in the movie.
ALSO I SAW A YOUNG ADAM TRAILER.
I moved in to my hall yesterday. I met a LOTR fan from Greece. ^_^ English is her second language, but we both own the Extended Edition. Yet I still can't say that I've spent my first night in the hall, for I went to bed at 1.10am yesterday. ^_^ Went to visit another hall -
anyasy,
c_dreamcatcher,
risax,
la_muerta - Audrey and GM's hall - and I was told that just this week, they had a lovely impromptu fire drill at 10 at night, due to someone who was grilling food in his room. So it was out in the freezing cold at 10pm.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS MOTION PICTURE TRILOGY IS HAVING AN EXHIBITION IN THE SCIENCE MUSEUM IN LONDON! UNTIL THE FIRST OF JANUARY!
^______________________________^
I've watched Les Miserables. Also am having very many Bad Thoughts about that show. ^_^ I watched Chicago, and
risax was right. It's better live. ^_^
Other than setting up bank accounts and a phone - which is like Getting A Shrubbery for the Knights of Ni - I'm having a lovely time.
I miss you all
so badly.
"I have missed all of you like Obi misses Qui. "
You have no idea how many Q/O fics I've read already.
A fellow LOTR fan from Greece! =D Cool!

Sounds like you've been having a great time there. Hope you've settled in alright.

Mid next year! I'll be in London til about June ^_^ Let me know if you're coming over! ^_^ There are lovely comics shops here! I will try to find them! ^_^
I wonder if the LOTR Exhibition will eventually move to Australia. ^_^
In London I saw a massive glass jar of absinthe and was reminded of you. ^_^ And took a picture. Shall upload it as soon as my computer regains Internet access. *beams*
Oh~! Tottenham Court Road - that's the place with a lot of electronic stores, near New Oxford Street?

Yesterday worked out to £2 for an hour of Internet. But it was worth every penny. *beams* Right now my computer neighbors probably think me exceeding strange for smiling so very much at the screen. ^_^
YEP! MY PHONE HAS CALL ROAMING! BUG ME! *IMPISH GRIN*
COME TO LONDON! I WISH ALL OF YOU WERE HERE! ESPECIALLY FOR THE LOTR EXHIBITION! Curiously enough, it's being held at the Science Museum. ^_^
I'm glad you're having a nice time!
PS. What did I hear? LOTR exhibition?
Wheeeeee!!!!
It's good to hear from you! *beams*
LOTR EXHIBITION! I agree! *wild celebration* Strangely, it's being held at the Science Museum. ^_^ Have been to Forbidden Planet. SO MANY LOTR posters. Am deeply happy about said poster proliferation. ^_^
So glad you've found internet access! wheeeeeeee
And if you'd care for a postcard, I'd love to send one to you! ^_^
And today I'm using the Internet at my school, so it's free. *laughter* ^_^
I encourage the WIP! ^_^
YES! THE LOTR EXHIBITION! I WISH YOU WERE ALL HERE WITH ME!
AND UNDERWORLD IS GREAT! GO SEE IT! ^____^
Though I did think that Selene (Kate Beckinsale's character) was like a feminine Neo.
Good to hear from you too! *hugs*
Hope school's going well! *hugs* It's wonderful to hear from you! ^_^

I have *tilts head and smiles* But it takes five days (which translates to a week or more) to activate. ^_^ AS SOON AS I CAN, I WILL BE ONLINE!
Let me guess! You are thinking Valjean x Marius!
And btw, this is for you.
Lousy random icon I made. But Ewan's cute, so there.
Till the next time you come online, take care of yourself, y'hear?
