So many things have been happening lately, I haven�t had much time to write. Too much has happened now to really write anything cohesive and linear so I think I�ll go with a trusty list.

  • We�ve had a really busy couple of weeks socially. I�ve met up with loads of people, done three different quizzes, and been in only one or two night s a week lately.

  • I travelled to Liverpool last weekend to attend the bachelorette party (or �hen night� as they call them here) of one of Lee�s good friends from Uni. It was amazingly fun and had the distinction of being the fist I�ve ever been to. We had cocktails, saw the �Vagina Monologues,� had a nice Italian meal, went to a casino, and then danced until four thirty in the morning both at a club made famous (and fabulously cheesey) by The Beatles, and then in Karen�s living room. Although we realized the next morning that the vodka shots probably weren�t the best idea, it was fantastic and that�s no small feat considering it took us 7.5 hours to get home! *Side note to random Liverpudlian Man who slapped my ass as we were trying to get a taxi, �You�re gross!� *Side note to man inside club who tried to pick me up be asking my name and then responding �Well, that�s a shit name!� � get a new line. That one�s not going to work on too many of the ladies.

  • It�s been amazingly nice here lately weather wise. Although I have to say, the tube is bloody awful in the summer. Can�t they put some air con on those damn things! GRRRRR! Also, I�d like to send a big �fuck off� to the assholes who literally shoved me onto the ground this morning during their attempt to ram into the already full carriage.

  • We have a new person in the office. Because of this, I was kicked out of my desk and made to sit next to D again. David is the man I sat next to when I first started here. He�s amazingly sweet and nice but he talks to himself which is really, really annoying.

  • I joined Weight Watchers last night and am now on my way to hopefully losing around 30 pounds. I�m really, really excited about this because I�m sick and tired of being the size that I am. My immediate goal it to lose a stone before B and K�s wedding at the end of July so that I can fit into the gorgeous Calvin Klein dress my ex-roommate gave me.

  • Lee and I might be going to Germany to visit my grandmother at the beginning of August. I�d actually really like to do this for a number of reasons. It would be very nice to see both her and all my other Deutsch relatives. Also, she has a BRAND NEW BABY PUGLET! YAY! I�m going to start looking into plane tickets this afternoon.

  • My Mom and Dad are coming to visit for three days in October on their way to a vacation in Italy. It was great when my Dad was here and hopefully it�ll be even better with my Mom in tow!

  • Finally, I�ve decided that I�m probably going to take an acting class this Fall at the Central School of Speech and Drama which, incidentally, is where Lee�s sis went to college. After I complete it, I�m going to audition for one of the two major amateur theatre troops in London. The only thing making this a �maybe� and not a definitely right now is the cost. It�s pretty expensive. Hopefully though we�ll figure out a way to save a little cash so that I can do it. It�s been just a dream for way too long. I think it�s high time it becomes a reality.
