OUR MEMORIES DEPEND ON A FAULTY CAMERA IN MY MIND

"He went to Paris Looking for answers To questions that bothered him so"
well, I failed at getting this updated in time and now that I was in paris over a week ago this may not be as detailed as it could be. oh well, I've been busy so lay off.
In this pic we are just being hunchbacks that all. Savy gave it her best shot but she's just too cute to look as monstrous as meg and I. Paris was an intresting place. We met all kinds of weird people. I'm happy to report that the French are suprisingly nicer then one would think. We only got a couple cups thrown at our group of loud Americans. Anyway, we had a lot of fun seeing Norte' Dame, The Eiffel Tower, The Arch de Triumph, The Louvre, and some other awesome places. We ate way too many pastries and banana/nutella crepes. So much goodness.
So we learned some very extensive French FYI. Just the essentials:
I Love You(because we were in Paris)- Je Temme
I don't speak french - No parle francais
Cheese Omlet- Omelet du Fromage

So there ya go. If you ever go to France, just remember those terms and you'll be good. oh and you should know that the French men "lived up to their reputaion". They were BEAUTIFUL!

"Ya Alright?"
So, for our last full day in London, Megan and I decided to visit the London Dungeon. On one hand it was a cheesy haunted house type deal, but on the other hand they gave a lot of the creepy history behind the city. i.e. The plague, Jack the Ripper, The great fire of London. Scary stuff. The workers were obsessed with axing us "ya alright?". In case you don't know, in England that is an expression they use when greeting someone. But they don't expect an answer....it's like hello. We were really confused about life.

"This won't be the last from me, its just the start"
After our final project presentations, we all went to the park for a little family outing. There was a thrilling game of "kick the can" going on, some unforturate tumbling, a little singing/guitar playing, and as for me, I went on a walk around the pond. Parks in England are cool because like the whole city goes to them and just chills and sleeps and hangs out. Makes for some good moments for people watching.

"No longer easy on the eyes But these wrinkles masterfully disguise The youthful boy below"
Our night of performances was indeed sucessful. We watched a ghetto-licious version of Romeo and Juliett, A musical romantic murder mystery, A short play called "where's George" and of course our Tragic Pyramus and Thisby play. The picture above is us with Kristin who played a forgetful old lady in "where's george" and below is just a group photo after we were done. yeah for us!



"SHE WOO-ED HIM WITH HER HEIGHT!"

Megans always telling me how i don't seem like i'm as tall as i say I am. So i decided that it was best if i proved to her that i am a lurp. Right here we are in Hyde park obviously at the fountians. Sorry I'm just a moster megan. You loose. Note to self: don't go bare foot anywhere in london. and be glamorous whenever possible!

"I would go out tonight, but I haven't got a stitch to wear. It's nuts that it's crucial that someone so handsome should care."
I just liked this picture. We were once again at warwick castle and when I axed if we could put the hats on, the tour guide guy started talking to us about time travel and the amazing technology that my camera had. "Here in 1760, we don't have this high technology" he would say. We didn't really know what to say but laugh. He loved his job.

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
"Passing through unconscious states, when I awoke, I was on the highway"
Last night, we went and saw A Mid Summers Night Dream at this little outdoor theater. This pic doesn't show it very well but it was all green and lit up with little lights. I couldn't help but think how awesome England is because everywhere you go it's beautiful and green and wonderfully decorated in one fashion or another. The play, by the way, was actually really good. We laughed really hard and we got to see the scene that we will be acting out for our final project tonight. I got a lot of inspiration for my character The Wall. ;)

"There's guards at the on-ramps, armed to the teeth. And you may case the grounds from the cascades to puget sound, but you are not permitted to leave"
So this first picture is us in front of the Warwick castle. I have to hurry and make fun of megan and I because this is us sincerely trying to have a normal smile. it's been a while since we've posed for a "normal" picture. The girls we are with are old experts though so they make up for our lack of glamour. Hey, is that baby and bean? Hi Baby! This castle was really fun because they had fake people posed all over the castle. We had a lot of fun with those darn wax people!

Even though these people seem very realistic.. they are actually wax. They are our new boyfriends and they were fighting for our love. Sorry to say but mine pumbeled his A.




"HEY GIRL, YOU'VE GOT A SMART WAY ABOUT YOU."
While we were in Stratford, we visited Shakespeares mothers house (and his cousin's house, grandma's house, sister's house, daughter's house and his dog's house) jk. And at this particular house there was a falconry. I guess it was a regular practice back in shakeshaft's time, so they have them all over England. And the fire burning my new found admiration for owls was fed. haha. I just love this little guy. Even though I look like death is upon me in this picture i really was quite thrilled. Random fact that I learned while on the longest lamest tours through 390.983 houses... "Board" meeting? "Board" Game? Room and "Board?" where does this word BOARD come from. Well back in the day, a "board" was actually a table. so interpret that as you will. hmm. Intresting huh?



This is us just being swans in stratford. I guess we loves birds. and I guess megan loves swans.

"I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE, I'M GOING THERE SOMEDAY!"
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Today we took a journey to see the London Temple. We had to take a train and a minibus to get there but it was worth the pain. Ok, so this temple isn't much of a looker but it had really pretty grounds. We took a few stroles around and decided that the events that "took place in Palmira" actually took place here. It's in the foot notes. JST. Anyways, I had an alone moment and took a strole through one of the forests and it was the best thing i've ever done for myself. It was just me, my ipod playing kenny, and complete bliss. That's all I need.

"IN THIS SAME INTERLUDE IT DOTH BEFALL
THAT I, ONE SNOUT BY NAME, PRESENT A WALL;
AND SUCH A WALL AS I WOULD HAVE YOU THINK
THAT HAD IN IT A CRANNIED HOLE OR CHINK"
So...for our final project in our shakespeare class, we have to perform a scene from one of the plays that we've been studying. We chose a scene from A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. In this exciting scene i get to play a wall. If that isn't exciting enough for you, i also get to play a moon. Yuck it up. As for this picture, we just had an emo moment while walking around the temple grounds. I guess my heart in an empty room.


"JUST LIVING LIFE THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW"
Here I am just hanging out in dartmore living it up.

This is just us gathered around the campfire to hear ghost stories and eat nasty s'mores (england just doesn't believe in normal marshmallows). There are some good stories to be told about this part of england. Mostly headless men running around.. that's all though.


lllllllllllllllllllllllllll
"I DON'T KNOW MUCH, BUT I KNOW WE WILL BE HAPPY AS A 1950'S TV FAMILY...EXCEPT TIMES INFINTIY."
So we took a little trip to a town called Dartmore. In case you're wondering if there were wild ponies running everywhere, there was! Serious. Ponies. Of course dartmore had more than ponies..it had a few ghosts, a tire swing, baily and jade (2 dogs), and probably the most beautiful scenrey in the whole freaking world. I was obsessed with this place because I felt like Anne of Avonli frolicking through the Moor. But watch out for the tar pits because they'll get ya. This whole blog sounds like a joke but everything is truthfully true. Even the wild ponies. We stayed at this little lodging place with cottage style bunk houses and it was awesome. Everyone should experience the glory that is Dartmore.
