things i learned in london

We'll start with the most recent and go down in time.
1. Hot water bottle is the best invention in the world for cold sufferers like me.
2. Sometimes I have a lot more physical strength and endurance than I think I do.
3. Vegan cheese is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
4. I do like films, I just never understood what kind of films I liked.

5. Marmite tastes like heaven.
6. Rice milk tastes better than soya milk, unless its soya milk vanilla or strawberry.
7. Witch house is good.
8. If you think it's your bus stop coming up but you're not sure, ask!!! otherwise you end up in zone 5 that's off your map, completely lost.
9. It doesn't rain here as much as everyone says.
10. Homeless people still love me.
11. Don't trust people so easily.
12. Don't store personal information on your laptop, in case someone breaks into your house and steals it.
13. Don't rely on the police because they are useless.
14. Make friends with the people you live with.

15. Don't make friends with unreliable bastards from privileged middle class suburban families and kappa delta gamma alpha beta epsilon bullshit greek life. You don't make friends with them in America, so why make friends with them outside of America. They have nothing in common with you and act like they're 15 again. Pft.
16. Do make friends with the strange big hair big glasses bright orange sweater guy that sits across from you every day and doesn't speak.
17. The people in local off-licence stores will love you if you go there often enough, know your habits and give you freebies.
18. Fried potatoes are actually super tasty.
19. Avocados are the best, after tomatoes.
20. London is not as big if you learn the transport system.
21. Squirrels in Hyde Park let you touch them, especially if you bring them food. Cute!!!

22. New Cross is a dump. Don't live there.
23. British people are super nice but only if you're super nice.
24. Travelling is one of the best remedies for dark thoughts.

Now I'm off to lunch and then who knows what. Three more days and hopefully I'll be home.

Let Love In, please

Despair and deception, love's ugly little twins
Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in
Darling, you'e the punishment for all of my former sins
I let love in
The door it opened just a crack, but love was shrewd and bold
My life flashed before my eyes, it was a horror to behold
A life sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole
I let love in
Well I've been bound and gagged and I've been terrorized
And I've been castrated and I've been lobotomized
But never has my tormentor come in such a cunning disguise
I let love in
O Lord tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone
I let love in
So if you're sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at your door
And the air is full of promises, well buddy, you've been warned
Far worse to be love's lover than the lover that love has scorned
I let love in.

Who doesn't love Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds?

And how about this song? Blue American by Placebo

I wrote this novel just for you
It sounds pretentious but it's true
I wrote this novel just for you
That's why it's vulgar
That's why it's blue
And I say, thank you
And I say, thank you
I wrote this novel just for Mom
For all the mommy things she's done
For all the times she showed me wrong
For all the times she sang god's song
And I say thank you Mom
Hello Mom
Thank you Mom
Hi mom
I read a book about uncle Tom
Where a whitey bastard made a bomb
But now ebonics rule our song
Those motherfuckers got it wrong
And I ask, who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?
You are
I read a book about the self
Said I should get expensive help
Go fix my head, create some wealth
Put my neurosis on the shelf
But I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care
I wrote this novel just for you
I'm so pretentious, yes it's true
I wrote this novel just for you
Just for you
Just for you

How can you not love those pretentious pricks? I did once.
I think sometimes lyrics are slightly annoying poetry. I love lyrics.
