This is the song I was listening to when I first walked through London in January. It's been my favorite song throughout the semester and I could write pages on pages of what it means to me.

In 24 hours, I'll be chilling in Dublin on a layover, waiting for my flight to Boston and then a drive all the way home.

Home. I'm not really sure what that word

I adore Florence and the machine :-)

Will you be able to get back and visit the UK much? I'm so glad you've had such a great time but sadface that you're so sad leaving.

She's just so amazing!

Probably not. Or at least, not for a while. I've got one year left with my degree and then I have no clue at all what will be happening. I'd love to come back, but I don't know if I will, which is part of the reason I'm so sad leaving. I don't like change, especially if I've got a good thing going and I might not ever have it again. But it's been lovely and that's what I'm focusing on, that I've had such a great time. :)

Pretty much that whole album is playing on repeat as my present inspiration mix. I'm torn between 'Shake It Out' and 'No Light, No Light' as my favourites. F&tM always do such fabulously bonkers videos, though.

I haven't lived in London for a very long time, but every time I go back, I feel the pull of it. It's a very special place, something about the age and presence, more than just history.

Ceremonials is amazing. I didn't think she could top Lungs, but she really really has. I've never been all that keen on Shake It Out (I can't say I don't like it, because I like nearly everything she does), but No Light gives me goosebumps every time.

Absolutely agreed on that indefinable something about London. ♥

I feel a bit bad asking this, because I've been horrible here on LJ for the past 6 months (well, longer, but I'm using this semester as an excuse...)...but, um, when did you get here? xD I'm bad at keeping up with things and I like to befriend the people who friend me, so hi! *waves*

Oh, sorry, I did a recent drive-by friending on the strength of 'Sanctuary' - a while back, I was reading up the real Nikola Tesla, one of my science heroes, and kind of fell down the rabbit hole, as one does. (I am far too old to be fancying vampires, seriously. But. Jonathon Young. It was all over, then.)

Also, fellow archaeologist. :)

Awesome! Any fellow fan of Nikola Tesla, real or imaginary, is welcome here! Jonathon Young is rather delectable, isn't he?

Ooh! :)
