Dancing on the Thames

Jan.7
1) I have a crush on my Architecture in London professor (but not really). He's a portly, jolly type, who told us that we could go and look at the shocking number of pubs that are done in the gothic style. "Only don't actually. But actually do, just don't tell anyone I told you to." Every other week in that class is a field trip, which will be great. I sort've wish I were in that class with my friends, though, they're all in the Wednesday section. Actually Hilary is in Monday, and the Kevin from USC we met tonight might join the Monday section, which would be cool.

2) Party boats on the Thames = FANTASTIC. I had a lot of coke (as in the soda) so I was pretty wired. Vanessa is a ridiculously good party dancer. I am not. That's okay. We had a fun moment when we decided to go out on the deck to take pictures and the four of us girls out there started dancing like tools around the bench to stay warm.

3) Milano Pizza is my favorite pizza ever. We were going to go back and get some cake from there, too, but then USC Kevin's flatmates came in with their friend Lewis who lives upstairs.

4) Lewis = British Comedian? Maybe. He's got a strange mind (re: his retelling of a bedtime story he once told his friend, featuring Billy the Bear who was going to work in a sweatshop manned by bears). He also just stood in the kitchen declaiming about various things ("middle aged women are just like that, they're scary," "by the laws of you being bigger than me, I don't try to fight you," "I hate when they interview criminals on the telly and when they ask them why they did it, they respond, 'because I could.' Honestly, just have a proper response, such as, 'I felt like it.'" ...). USC Kevin, Vanessa, Caitlin and I were just sitting there laughing ourselves hoarse, I think Vanessa was crying a bit.

Yeah, that was a good night.
