ah, funny story about this place. by the time we got here I was pissed at Benny, Matt, and Jason for taking too much offense to a comment I said. at the phone booths, I was like, "aww I want a picture with my boysss." and you know, I meant that in a really affectionate, friendly way ... not at all degrading or w/e and they got all defensive and bitchy about it so I ignored them for awhile.
nightlife :)
haha by the time we got here, I was tired of being a bitch. it definitely takes more energy to be mad at someone D: ahha
DAY TWO: 021608
omg I lovedddd this stuff! definitely the best stuff everrr. ♥
so, like, our first night in the hostel, I ended up falling asleep with the guys (Jason, Benny, Matt, and Harpreet) in their room because of um yeah and when I woke up in the middle of the night jason was cuddling me in his sleep rofl~ <3 and he was cold so I shared my blanket with him :] none of us wanted to use the hostel blankets because they were fucking nasty tbh. they had like, period stains & dirt on it and shit. wtf? ugh.
anyway, so around 2 AM Melissa & Maristelle are knocking on our door & Jason and I wake up because we're both pretty light sleepers and we're like wtf... so Melissa & Mar are like "can one of the guys sleep with us downstairs? some crazy people are knocking on our door and think they have a bed in our room." but we all kind of ignored them and went back to sleep ahaha.
annnd since we were all pretty goddamn jetlagged, none of us woke up until about 2PM roflll. ugh, waste of a day forsure but whatevs. so Matt, Benny, Jason and I went to some restaurant nearby after the morning routine of making fun of me for whatever stupid shit I did the night before *cough*
COOL AS FUCK.
so after lunch, Matt decided to go to the science museum behind the hostel and Benny, Jason, and I went back to the hostel to find that Khamille, Mar, Melissa, and Michelle were back. Melissa had her boyfriend with her :] and Michelle was gonna watch phantom of the opera, and Maristelle wanted to stay at the hostel so Khamille, Benny, Jason and I took the tube to westminster pier to go to that horror house thinggie.
on the tube :]
then we go bumper cars!
more Big Ben D:
and more!
London Eye again ahaha
then the group (minus the three weirdos, michelle and mar... meaning: Benny, Jason, Harpreet, Matt, Khamille, Melissa, myself) got hungry so we decided to go eat at this Gourmet Burger Kitchen place... man, was it nice. well, it looked nice.
and my food?
thai chicken burger.
it kind of reminded me of crap, the way it looked :\
but Jason's kiwi shake & Benny's strawberry shake were goood :)
then back to the crappy hostel!
Jason and I at the hostel
DAY THREE: 021708
we went to uxbridge (malls! yay! long ass tube rides! boo!) and :O :O :O KING'S CROSS.
platforms 9 & 10
YAY
ahaha everyone asleep on the way back.
and then we took a bus ride to Edinburgh, Scotland (I keep wanting to change the spelling to "Edinbrough" because that's how they say it there.) ugh, it was so long and I had to sit next to a complete stranger because I thought I'd be able to sleep on one seat just by myself but nooo some crazy lady had to ask if my seat was taken sigh. and then I couldn't sleep because she talked on the phone for a good two hours. UGH. anyway, the ride was long. it was about 8hrs? like, the time it takes to get from SF to LA. rawr :(
DAY FOUR: 021808
rofl, omg when we got to edinburgh IT WAS SO COLD :( and I was only wearing, like, a sweater, my plaid coat & leggings lmao. then I realized I had flats on and my feet were freezing so I put on my uggs :) hahaha
the walk to the hostel was HORRIBLE. ugh. it was more than a mile v___v;; and to top it off, we had our luggage with us. and I was trailing two suitcases T_T;; damn my need to overpack and shit. so by the time we were halfway to the hostel, I was pale as hell and I was feeling really lightheaded due to my lack of sleep, the cold, and my weak body strength :( sad. Jason and Benny offered to carry my luggage for me because they could see how sick I looked but I refused to let them because :X I want to show them that I can do it without them! and that I'm strong :) ehehe.
anyway, we FINALLY got to the West End Hostel, thank goodness. I was so happy that I sat on the floor, took Benny's jacket and covered myself up and took a little nap ^_^
Mr. Graham & Mrs. Graham asked if we all wanted to do a walking tour with them, but since I was sick Benny, Jason, Harpreet and Maristelle stayed with me :) (plus, they didn't really want to do anymore walking)
Benny, Jason, Harpreet and I walked a little up the street to this cute cafe and had breakfast. lol, they ate haggis xD and I just had a vegetarian meal because they said I should eat vegetables :P it was good though.
especially my hot chocolate :)
then we walked back to the hostel with some food for Mar, who fell asleep where I last did :P haha
Benny & the hostel lounge/media room
much nicer than Acacia
50p a game :( ahaha
later that night, Matt, Michelle, Khamille, Harpreet, Jason, Benny, Maristelle and I went out to dinner. hahaha, we walked around for like half an hour trying to pick a place to eat and ended up eating at "La Piazza."
hahaha :)
my cuties ^_^
Harpreet, Benny, and Jason went out to a piano bar around 1 or 2AM so I hung out with Matt in the lounge area downstairs till they came back haha. they had absynth! ahh. it sounded yummy. peppermint-y.
3 in the morning haha.
then Benny, Jason and I went upstairs to "sleep" but really we stayed up another half hour just laughing at each other. then once Benny fell asleep, Jason and I were playing around w/ each other and finally I climbed over to his bed (we were on the top bunks next to each other) and we fell asleep together :)
DAY FIVE: 021908
we were all supposed to go to this Lochness Tour thing, but no one really woke up on time hahaha, oh well!
so Khamille and I decided to get ready while everyone else was asleep, and we walked to the grocery store & bought breakfast, lunch, and ice cream ♥
THESE TWO ICE CREAM BARS WERE SO GOOD OMG.
and even their microwave dinners were fuckin' good. wtf.
we come back and we discover...
carebear on Stephanie's bed. tucked in. lmao.
so we moved it around :) just to piss her off because she's freaky as hell.
UM YEAH THEN SOME CRAP HAPPENED THAT NIGHT THAT I DO NOT WANT TO POST BECAUSE IT IS PRETTY DISGUSTING AND YACK WORTHY... literally.
DAY SIX: 022008
so since we missed the 2-19 Lochness Tour, they said they'd pick us up the next morning instead. er, well... seeing as some crap happened the night before, the kids of room 10 decided to skip out on that shit hahaha.
then later that night some gay shit happened hahaha...
Matt likes to sleep with Jason and Benny wants to join! :)
Benny likes a slow jerk
I guess Jason does too
I suppose he also likes it hard :o
DAY SEVEN: 022108
we took a walking tour of Edinburgh for our last day in Scotland :)
at some point after this picture, I got separated from the group. lmao. Jason kept saying he wanted a scarf, so I was looking into the stores while on the tour to buy one for him... then I ended up getting separated from them. eventually, I found them all again and yeah :) Jason was really happy about his scarf. :)
yeah this place stinks. beer, spit, dead bodies, blood, shit, wtf...
end of tour.
after this, I started feeling REALLY sick from the cold and all the walking and everything... and I don't think I ate that day. at one point, while crossing the street I started to cry 'cause my body hurt so much and Jason and I just ended up sitting at a cafe for awhile.
DAY EIGHT: 022208
