Half Done

Hey, so I need a break from The Lonely Londoners... it's an horrible book. I'm studying for my Fiction and Social Change test, but I need a short break.

I'm half done, I turned in my Children's Literature paper yesterday, and rewarded myself with a milkshake with Sammie and her boyfriend Kamran, and then after hanging out with her for a while, I met up with Kathleen, Jenna and Danielle at Lloyds. Milkshakes with Sammie was good, we went to the shake place down the street from me. I got a Twix shake, basically they blend a twix with ice cream... YUMMY. After shakes, we came back to the Bridge House, because Sammie has never had a girl scout cookie. I KNOW. They have girl scouts, but no cookies. About a month ago, I heard that I was being sent a package, and I prayed that girl scout cookies would be in it, and I was telling Sammie about this before class, and she just looked at me and said, "They aren't just in the movies?" I laughed, and I promised her a cookie or two, if I got them. So she and her friend both tried one, they had Carmel Delights, and they liked it! I was very happy, since Carmel Delights are my favorites.

We then went shopping at the Bentall Centre, Sammie needed a jacket, which was found and bought... and I met up with the girls at Lloyds. I promised Sammie that we would hang out again. So she's graduating this year, but the ceremony isn't until next January. I don't know why, I asked, she couldn't give me a good reason. But next year, is going to King's College and doing nursing. She is going from Drama and some English to Nursing. Go figure. I'm going to miss her, she did promise to come to the States when she is done with uni, but I guess she has been making that promise to someone in Illinois too, so maybe it will happen. She wants to come for Thanksgiving, again she has only seen it in the movies, which I laughed at. Poor Sammie, no girl scout cookies or Thanksgiving.

Last night, Kathleen rented Casino Royale, and it wasn't bad, but it didn't feel like a Bond movie. The music threw me off, and he didn't care about his drinks. There was one part, he ordered a martini, and the waiter said, "Shaken or stirred?" and he responded, "Do I look like someone who cares?" Bond always cares about his martini... it threw me off. It was okay, I expected better. I wasn't as vocal in my dislike of it as Jenna and Danielle. I told them to be quiet so many times, they thought it was okay to talk during movies. No it isn't, biggest pet peeve in the world, and no one cares. I try and respect other people's pet peeves, but no one cares about mine. Argh.

I keep thinking about how much time I have left... I will admit to panicking a little bit. Kathleen, Jenna and Amaya are so apart of my life that the thought of not seeing them scares me. I'm sure I'm repeating myself, but I wasn't scared about coming, but I am about leaving. I'm reading The Lonely Londoners, and the character always is talking about Notting Hill Gate, the Pic, Waterloo, Kensington... all these places that I know, and I love. I won't see them next year, I won't be able to stalk Camden Town, which I haven't done yet, that's my next trip to London, but we have plans... finding Graham Street where Julian Barratt lives, okay yeah we are stalkers.

Oh well, I better finish this stupid book before Hollyoaks, it will make me feel so much better to have it out of the way.
