Just finished Torchwood and now I'm Battlestar type depressed.
Hangover day has been all right in that I did nothing.
Went to the mall and tried on dresses, I need a good summer dress, but I can't find any. They're either too dressy, too short, to weird, bad form, or too low cut. Which comes out gross on me - I have a fantastic pink dress but it's so loud - it's cut low and it's a very loud pink. I love it - obvs, I bought it after all - but I'm looking for something more.. not boring but something that melts in a bit more. I'm explaining it wrong but I couldn't find anything. Maybe it's for the best, so I have something to look for in Vancouver.
I've been missing London something fierece lately.
It's not cause of Torchwood or anything, it's mostly been popping up when I'm doing normal things like hitting the shops or just walking in town. The other day I saw a guy walking in to a woman, he was looking the other way and was faced another so I saw the collision coming. Both twitched like you do from the surprise and slightly turned their heads towards each other, but he didn't apologize and she hardly even looked his way, not expecting one. That is extremely common in Stockholm. Hell, just before, a father drove his suitcase over my shoe and didn't turn, didn't apologize, didn't say a word, just kept going. It's insane! That would never fly in London. I mean, there are dicks there too, don't get me wrong, but despite being Europe, it's still another culture, even if the differences aren't as big. In the UK, you ALWAYS apologize. As Carin & I came to Hammersmith and changed to the Hammersmith & City line the first day this May, I was throwing something away in a bin and as I left it, I bumped into this guy. Not realizing I was in London quite yet, I expected him to either yell at me or just give me an angry look, or just keep walking. As it was my fault, I immediately apologized (Cause I'm polite!) - and he did too.
But there's other things as well, I don't know. Just being there. I miss London terribly and it's good I have a very tight budget currently cause I'd be there right now if I could afford it. Which is kinda why I don't wanna make plans for travels next year, I mumble about charter trips in Greece and Prague and Berlin and Portugal and maybe an Interrail card or maybe even Singapore, but I'm not making plans cause I - as I always am - always wanna do the opposite of what I did the second before. While I love this travel year o'mine and have had a splendid time in Barca, London and I'm sure I will have the time of my life in the US/Canada and later on at the con in London in Nov, it's also nice to be able to have a normal life and buy silly dresses on a whim and not turn every penny. And being able to go to London on a whim, just because. Hm. 2010. Yeah, we'll see. But I miss London. Miss miss miss it. Everything. And for every time I go, a weekend trip feels so short cause I wanna pencil everything in and it's usually driving me nuts. Next year I should do at least a 2-weeker, maybe in Aug or early Sep..
