Back in London

I'm back in London for my one week Easter break.
Need to get away for a bit from Aberdeen.
I think the place has got its' cords entangled around me neck and is slowly but surely tightening it, attempting to suffocate me whilst I struggle gasping for just a breath of fresh air to fill up my stale lungs.
My legs trying to kick free from the cords, but instead I have ended up being knotted further into this web of disdain. Contempt dripping from my fangs as I snarl as those who dare enter my lair as I try to contemplate and make sense of the world with all its lies and deceit.

By the way, went to disturb Jeff today to get books.
Jeff thinks that by insulting me it would boost his ego.
Hahha. I wonder who gave him that idea. Tsk tsk.
After that went traipsing around London with Edward,
who showed me lots of interesting places.

Wandered around Soho, into its' nifty little sex shops, and ended up in the alleyways peppered with cafes, bars and oh-so-fashionable people with sunglasses dutifully propped up atop their perfectly coiffured hair sitting around sipping wine and coffee in the warm sun.
Ended up in this cute Parisian bakery cum cafe complete with the servers in adorable little bakery outfits including apron and nifty baker's cap.

Had tea for two. I know, it's so English right??
Sipping Earl Grey whilst catching up on the latest tantalizing gossip;
Flirting with guys who had joined the table next to ours :P
Makes for a lovely afternoon :)

Robert Frost- The Road Not Taken


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Pushing Daisies


What's there not to love about this show!?
Complete with adequately good looking people and the wittiest lines ever.
It's sweet and romantic without being too corny, makes your heart melt just watching Ned and Chuck banter :)
Their love is just too extremely perfect. Except for the fact that they can't touch each other.
I'm totally enamored with Ned the pie maker and his lovely pies and the way he looks at Chuck with those forlorn puppy dog eyes of his.

By the way, guys puzzle me beyond doubt.
I don't understand why guys would want to be the guy who has a million girls after them.
Who the heck needs one million girls, when you just need the one girl.
The right girl...
