This ain't no love song

So last night I was talking to my friend, Hope. She was the one I hung out with in London and went to gay parades and met rockstars with. My grammar is atrocious right now, but if I spend a couple more weeks with FreeRice, that will be a thing of the past.

Anyway, Hope and I were talking about how much we miss London and we should just go back and get a flat together. d'AW! So, I googled "songs about london" and got this. I scrolled down and saw lots of Pulp (which is always good IMO). One of the songs is called Bar Italia!!! I THINK...uh...SOMETHING REALLY FUNNY HAPPENED THERE! And Jarvis Cocker is singing about it!

Watch the video and ignore the fantastical, mythical, RPing creatures - those are irrelevant.


He's a beautiful man and my ideal mate.

i'm too much in love

i was supposed to go to PRIDE today and i didn't. now i have to wait until NEXT YEAR!

last night was SUCH a good night. hope and i ended up watching "go ask alice" (william shatner was in it and was as butch as possible), complete with two bottles or really bad rose wine. so when we ran out of wine we wanted to go out and get more because, well, why not?

anyway, everywhere was pretty much CLOSED and stopped selling alcohol. so SOMEHOW we ended up in soho (hedonism and debauchery galore, HEEEYYYY!) and met a group of the cutest twinks you will ever meet in your life. they invited us up to drink and sing karaoke with them. after that we ended up at some TERRIBLE bar where hope accidentally broke a wine glass.

and then we ended up meeting this guy:

his name was toni and he was the finnish guitar player of the band sohodolls.
he was actually really cool and i'm hoping that we'll become the best of friends and he will have mad connections to people like russell brand (swoooon!) and lily allen.

ok, maybe i'll go to pride anyway. i'm sure everything is going to be going on in soho tonight.
i'm pretty sure this is why london is better than most other places.

i really wish i had photographic documentation - perhaps tonight?

omg now all i want to do is dress up ridiculously and listen to the pet shops boys all night long - nvrmind my stereotypes.

i'm dorian gray. (what?!)

I know how much she hurts you, but you've been clean 6 years.


Geez louise. This is my third post today and overall!
Okay, new song obsession: Laura Marling - London Town




EVERYBODY GO AND DOWNLOAD IT IMMEDIATELY. so gooood!

Laura Marling, for youse guyz who don't know her, is one of those indie folk sirens. She hails from the UK and is barely 19. Reminiscent of Regina Spektor, she sings about the usual themes - love, lust, heartbreak, etc., but with her "smoky vocals," the lyrics are smart, simple and unsurprisingly relatable. 

Anyway, new general obsession as of 45 minutes ago: That button on top of all these blogs that says "next blog." It's the equivalent of Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. After you download Miss Marling, go click that button a buncha times and see whatcha get!

I found:
- The coolest mom next to mine and Dorothy's Sophia Patrillo.
- This french recipe food somethingorother with pretty pictures.
- Some lady from Manchester who makes things behind the pseudonym, emily pickle
- I'm not actually sure what this one is about, but I like it because it's full of culture and travel. It might be from the POV of a cat.

Oh! My mom just made me a chai tea latte cappuccino (??) so I must drink it and think about cuddling up with Russell Brand while I watch Ponderland. (swoon!)
