x. marie antoinette's house/versailles
x. the moulin rouge!
x. le sacre coeur

x. which includes: pigalle! [i didnt get mugged! hurray!]
x. les deux moulins [where they filmed amelie! <3 <3 <3]
x. bottom of a glass that had contained a craziy amelie [one of the bar's signature drinks]
x. scary parisian hobos with starving dogs

all in all, i fell in fucking love with london & i'm moving there before or after skool, or maybe during. i dont know. i'm going, though.

paris had beautiful sights to see, but i'm not so sure about the city itself. london was much more comfortable. i did enjoy trying my very warbly french. i dont care if they treated me with the same warmth you give a retarded toddler: i was still communicating with them & i was so proud of myself.

the whole way, i had maybe four hours of sleep a nite. excluding the first & last nites. the first, i was awake for maybe thirty-two hours. last nite, up for about thirty-one hours. erkjhgjkghdf feeling like shit.

it was also nice to make friends with people i'd only been aquaintances with before. by the end of the trip me, stephanie, kayleigh, tom, & kayla were already making plans to move in together & make a sitcom about us called mind the gap & giving ourselves a team name & code names. i think we're awesome.

so i love traveling & i love europe & i'm going back soon. yay!

also, books i finished on the trip:
x. drawing blood by poppy z. brite [smut smut smutty smut & some nice fantasy & more smut. gotta love brite smut.]
x. darkest desire: the wolf's own tale by anthony schmitz [quite possibly one of the weirdest books i've ever read in so little pages. i just went "what. the... fuck?" after reading it. yes, i liked it, but i couldnt say why...]
