But a good one, not going to lie, it is nice to be missed. You really know who finds YOU important. Not surprising that is is mostly my male friends, then again I don't have any girl friends that I see on a regular basis. I am just a REALLY NICE PERSON. Not some sleazy "Snookie" that runs around with my skirt too short showing my Britney Spears. I put leggings on.
So, I left really early in the morning on Sunday and got to Calgary 30 mins later, but thanks to time change it was an hour and 30 minutes later. I then spent a really nice time with my aunt, uncle and cousin. Who kept me laughing the entire time! I hope they don't get offened by my next comment, I did not know they were that funny. Like, genuinely funny, not mean humor or stupid humor. Just have a good laugh funny!
I am going to prolong about London as much as possible. *maniacle laughter*
On my plane ride I was blessed with a window seat, I slept through most of the flight and there was a lot of cloud cover, so not much to see, and the man beside me was respectfully nice. He was the typical, "I am going to give you your space, cause you're leaving me mine." I had to put my bag up in the overhead storage, so he and his buddies, who were all around, put it up for me. Well one of his buddies, not all of them, there were just a lot of them around him... I was singled out. They were all Asian, did I mention that? We chatted for most of the flight that I was awake for, which totaled an hour and half. It was a 8 or 9 hour flight. So Jet lag for me is not that bad. But there are points of the day where all I want to do is sleep. Like when I wake up in the morning! Then again, I've always had that problem. Going to sleep, not a problem, waking up. "5 more minutes!"
I get to London, looking out of the plane before I land, I am overwhelming consumed with this feeling of being "home."
The only time I have been out of Canada was for Disneyland.
The only thing that is scary to me, putting myself out there and just doing it. I am terrified of failure. It is why I am here in London. I would be failing myself if I did not make it here. I feel so comfortable in a city that I have never been to, only seen on a map. The people here are amazing, the fashion ( I fit in perfectly over here, by the way), the culture, the currency all more than what I had ever expected!
The currency is going to take some getting used to. For one thing the bills are different sizes and in size order; smallest is the smallest amount. The coins are not however, they vary in size and weight. and there are more of them. 50p, 2p, 20p. I must say even though Canada is getting rid of the penny, we have simplified system. England should take notes.
AS well, just getting oriented with my north, south, east and west. It's all outta wack.
Right now I am in a youth hostel, it's nice. A minute walk to a tube station and then a 5 minute tube ride and I am at Oxford Circus, so handy!
As for tourisy things, once I find a place to live, I will do them all!!!
Well, I think I am going to leave it there. Comment and ask a question if you like, but I don't want to overwhelm you like I have overwhelmed myself. Another post later to make you cry on your bed with all the emotions I have been feeling.
ps. Gavin, Mom I love you and miss you both. Very Much. <3
