21 january

these are some of my favorite things that were "polaroid worthy" while i've been here...
there's a chandelier/lighting shop on the corner of aurelia's street. i have a passion for chandeliers.. and so just another reason why i'm friends with aurelia. hah. on the way to school i see the houses above. this is the second picture of these i've put on here. but they are double worthy. they are brown, but have a tint of gold which makes them glamorous to me. less drab i guess.

the clock tower with a picture of the prince of wales on it. it's in the middle of the major shopping area of town. i ask myself daily, "what time is it?" and this tower confirms that it's shopping time. all the time. ha.
i also walk past this on my way to school.
the last photo is of george & aurelia. i think they're trying to figure out how to recreate a sample photo on ray's camera of a woman cheesily kissing the tip of her boyfriend's nose. it was hilarious. and what was more hilarious is that the "recreation" photo was never taken i think, because she couldn't keep a straight face the entire time. oh my.

today i went out with ally and bummed around town. we went to topshop and tried on outfits i couldn't afford, but liked. that's something i recently confessed to myself and a few others around me. i have a little, perhaps shallow, "wishlist" in which i try on clothes i can't afford and when i like an outfit, i take a picture of it in the dressing room. well i guess i confessed this to whoever reads this too. heh.
its fun though.
ally & i posted a letter to scott for his 21st on wednesday. we had a lot of fun looking at snooper paradise.. which is essentially an antique shop in the laines. but i like it there. and i think ally likes it better than the invention of sliced bread. well, i would too i guess. heh.
anyhoo, we went to wagamama's for some cheap thai food (?) and then got scott things, posted them, and got cookies and milk from Ben's Cookies. which is a pretty expensive cookie place, but i checked it off my list. my cookie was amazing. i feel like a real fatty talking about it, so i won't. but if you're curious enough to know.. email me and i'll reply with a comment about how fat you are for wanting to know. hah! take that! ..not the english pop group.

i got an american phone number last night. soo... if anyone wants the number, find out how to tell me. and i'll give it to you and we can be friends and it'll be really cheap for you to call.. and free for me. hehe!
ps. i added comment post options on here. so if you want to comment, the option is there.

tonight is "soup n' sew" night at holly's house. i'm going to make headbands out of lace.
pps. i'm not moving into my house until the 27th now. things are getting more expensive.

currently listening:
"breathe me" by sia {see below}
ben phillips "songs for the sad" mix
{that kid is rad & that's what makes the song not embarrassing to listen to. haha}

its grey out today.
