Hey guys! Or should I say poopyheads now that I am finally sorta back?:D
It's time for the ,apparently long-awaited, London Blog. I apologize for the lack of pictures of me and Lillypad, I focused more on making crazy vids instead!:lol:
Thursday, 25th of September
The day of the arrival. The plane arrived at 8-ish in London, and me, my mum and her BF Peter took the bus into the Victoria station. There we got tube tickets and other information for newbie tourists like us:P After that we went to Mum and Peter's hotel and left our bags, they couldn't check in yet so we just left them there and went to go for lunch, we were really hungry. The clock, however, was only 11.30 and nothing was open, so I suggested since we were going to Camden market later, we'd go there now and eat there, that way we wouldn't waste time sitting and waiting, because we had a dead line to catch; we were meeting Lil at 6!:D Mum and Peter agreed and we went to Camden, thing was, after realizing there were 2 stations with the name Camden in it, and we were headed to the wrong one(:lol: ) we had to go back all the way. By that time we had been sitting quite a while on the tube!:lol: After more trouble (they were renewing the track or something and we had to go another way around!) we finally arrived. Starving by now. We ate and then we went around the market, it was cool! We strolled around and later had a cup of coffee (I might add that this is where I first burnt my tongue, the burns troubled me the entire trip, and even after I had gotten home!:P) After this, we walked Oxford street. This is big for a swede y'know?:P Our biggest streets... Yeah, I think I can summarize it up in one sentence; Sweden is one giant forest:lol::cry::lol: Honestly, almost.
The clock was slowly ticking towards 6 but I tried to play it cool, I probably failed though.:lol: So we went back to their hotel room and got my bag and then we went to Notting Hill gate, the place for the meeting!
DUN DUN DUN!:P
We all learned something here; Notting Hill Gate's got like 3 or 4 different exits on 4 different streets.:lol::cry::lol: But then we finally met, awwwwww! Oh it was amazing!:D:D We hugged, and Lil jumped me as promised, I kept my promise to Leila too and poked Lilly!:P After a brief parent chat we headed home to Lil's by train and after that car. The ride home took some time and when we were finally there, I got greeted by Izzy, Lil's sister, and Fran who had taken care of Izz while Lil and her mum were gone. Then I met Lil's stepdad and James, her brother, and we had chicken soup, as Lil had requested the day before:P (This was the kill of my tongue I tell you peeps! Burnt the sh!t outta me) After this I was pretty tired, well at least I think I was considering I had gone up at 3 to catch the plane, but I was so excited so I didn't feel it:oops: So we had a quick chat with TWB on MSN and I had a bath and then we went to sleep. We had to go up early the next morning, I was coming to school with Lil:|
Friday, 26th of September
Lil had promised to come and jump on my bad to wake me up, her plan failed when I had already woken up when she came in, and she jumped on the floor next to the bed instead:P We went up and ate breakfast and drank lots of British tea, HUZZAH!:P and got dressed. After everyone was done, we were running a little late and John, Lil's stepdad, drove us to school. Lil looked cute in her uniform:P Ha! I sorta drove attention to myself!:lol: I didn't have a uniform and from time to time I got random shoutings like "Hey, you, Swedish girl!" or "Oh, Lil's Swedish friend!":P I attended the cl*sses and me and Lil did great in RE (at least we thought so considering we didn't have a clue what was going on!:lol: ) I even helped the German even though I don't speak it, it's quite closely related to Swedish so I could guess some things:P It was... interesting seeing how kids have it in schools in the UK. It's very different, hard to say exactly what it is, it's hard to describe, the whole atmosphere is different.
After the school was finished John came to pick us up again and he drove us to the place where Lil works, a "posh and fancy restaurant" as Izzy put it. Not according to Lil though:lol: I just liked the name, Goose fat and garlic. It's... weird.:lol: After that Lil had a hair appointment, but I went home instead and talked on MSN to TWB till Lil came home again. That night Lil and a bunch of her friends had decided they wanted to take me out to dinner, aww:) But to kill time until we were leaving we sat on Josh's bed (Mwuhahah Kiks! It cracked though:| :lol::cry::lol: ) and looked up places in London to visit. They started arriving to her House and we went to the Mexican place in her town!:D We had so much fun! I bet Lil is better at remembering funny quotes because I can't remember any, but we had lots of laughs!:D Like when Luke thought the Chicken Chihuahua was the dog and he was like "OMG they're serving DOG!" And the waiters and then the managers came and assured him it wasn't! Or, Lil reminded me, Cascia licked her spoon, quite seductively, and Luke imitated her!:lol::cry::lol: it was quite late when we started heading home and I was *cough*hyped up on fat, sugar, and caffeine*cough* And I dunno, I started rambling on about hunchbacks:oops: I kinda impersonated one...:oops: Anyway, we went to bed after that because despite it being Friday, we had to get up quite early...
Saturday, 27th of September
Again I woke up before the clock rang, don't ask me why, I had been sleep deprived for days now:lol: Lil came and cracked the bed some more before we went to get breakfast. Today we were going out to London, and we wanted to start early so we were pretty tired:P Lil's mum drove us into London and went with us that day. We walked around almost the whole day with the only exception being when we watched the movie, the boy in the striped pajamas, and when we took the boating tour:D The movie was utterly sad, but soon after visiting Hamley's we were right back on track!:lol:We got Leila's gift at Hamley's and I bought a fingerprinting kit!:O:D:DWe had lots of fun at Hamley's and we agreed we had too much fun to be healthy. We had more fun than the kids there!:lol: I got shot by a star wars clone*nods*:P
In London we saw Big Ben, London eye, Westminster Abbey, Tower Bridge, House of Parlament, Trefalgar Square and much more!:D

This is for you Leila. See the position of his legs? He wants you. But wanting you has its side effects. This picture was taken only seconds after he got hit in the nuts by a little girl passing by... In my opinion, he was sorta looking for it!:lol:

Took this because I found it funny. I wanted to go to Holborn too, because it's pronounced funny, but we didn't have time:P
![](http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc88/ElforSWE/DSC00054.jpg)
Just to mess with you:P

Ohh, black phone booth!

Streets of London, seen from a taxi.
It was very fun! We went with a London Taxi!:D The taxi driver, who we later just refered to as 'Nice, mean taxi driver' was, as the name suggests, nice but mean. Yes. That is a strange mix. He mocked my accent!:lol:After that we were pretty tired and we had some drinks. Lil had tea cuz she's British:P and I had coffee cuz I was tired!:lol: Then we took the car home. This was the last night for me with Lil:( It was sad:( Me, Lil and Lil's family went out to eat again, guess where? The mexican:lol: And apperantly our table neighbours from the night before must have suffered strokes all of them, because we heard from the waiters that they thought we had behaved 'well':lol: How was that possible?!:lol: Anyway, we went home after that and everyone went to bed, but me and Lil. We stayed up. Long.:P First we watched DVDs and drank coffee and tea to keep us awake and we ate lots of chocolate because, well we didn't have a reason really:lol: I spilled coffee and burnt myself:lol: Then we got ready and everything and we shot like half a doussin movies about nothing, just me and Lil, and my self-stripping top, and the fingerprint kit... You know, the usual:lol::cry::lol: We filmed us opening the kit, man were we excited!:lol:

*giggles*
I forbade Lil to leave and when th clock hit 3 and our clock was ringing in 4 hours, we finally went to sleep, but we were too tired for everything so Lil and I spooned!:lol: She took all the blanket!:evil::lol::lol::lol: We slept there, with Vanessa Hudgens watching over us:| It was Josh's room and he was in love with her, so:|*shudders*
Sunday, 28th of September
Another early morning in the making... Last day, sad day. We went up, had breakfast and then it was time to bake. Yes, that's right. Kladdkaka, Swedish delicacy, I was looking forward to their reactions to it!:lol: Hard part was the converting of units... Apparently deciliters aren't used in all countries, do you have it people? We made it and after that we went to a local shop to buy, wait for it, tea!:lol: I bought lots of British tea to take home, and then some Oreo's, cuz we don't have them in Sweden:P Then all of sudden we were in a hurry:| We didn't have time to sit down and eat the cake, so they just tasted it a bit for me to see the reactions and then they could finish after I left, and HUZZAH they liked it! Then we went to the airport by car and spent a disturbingly long amount of time to wait for mum and Peter who were late!:lol: We went to go pass the security and here we had to say goodbye:( It was so sad.:cry:
but while on British ground, I got myself House Season 3, score! It's not out in Sweden, slow *ss country, and they flight attendant took my coffee. Yes, that's right. Then I got back to Sweden and it was all empty:( I am really going to miss Lilly, I am right now:( But I had a really good time and I am gonna take her down to Sweden soon too, so she can see how I live:) And then I'll force her to be in our school without shoes on:P
So bye everyone! Love you! *hugs**licks*Comment and spam me green!
