Nice.
Didn't do a whole lot today. Woke up kinda late and then went downstairs to eat breakfast (wow first time ever) and low and behold flatmates!! Wowza. Three people are in the kitchen making food. Kent from California, Jade from New York, and Maya from Toronto. I introduce myself and talk to them while I make two slices of butter and jam toast. These two slices of toast were maybe the biggest sweetest pieces of toast I had ever eaten but I forced myself to finish them because I couldn't emabarass myself by throwing them out.
My conversation with them is kinda funny because I think there was some disconnect between the four of us or maybe not disconnect I dunno something was off. They were all nice though! But...something. Maya asks me if I have ever been to London before and I say no to which she is surprised and says oh then how did you decide to come here and I laugh well I dunno London seemed cool. I ask if she had been here before and she says yes she was here in 2023. cool cool cool. I find it funny that she was surprised at me never having been to London before. Anywho she asks if I'm planning to do some traveling while I'm here and I'm like oh I really wanna go to Scotland but budget is tight you know lol (she does not know). Then they start talking about traveling and wowza guys. These mofos are rich. Kent says he wants to go to Egypt, Maya says they should get a group to go there. Jade talks about skiing in Switzerland...wowza. I ask them if they travel much and they say oh yeah blah blah blah. Kent says his family is big into traveling he's been to most hot spots in Europe and to places in Africa and lots of other places huhhhhhhh. Apparently he and Jade are going to Madrid next weekend. The wowzas never end.
At one point Jade says you know someone invited me to Siscily but I dunno if I wanna go to Siscly you know? (I do not know) and I exaggeratedly ask lol who is inviting you guys all these places (there were prior mentions of being invited to different countries) and she says I met a group of girls at a mixer event, but they go out like every night, which I don't have the stamina or the money for! So I guess most people are rich at this program. Unsurprising I guess. But I always think if I'm here than someone like me must also be here. Like my double. Hey that thinking totally worked in college. Turned out to be true. So I'm hoping.
Anywho I ask if they have been out much, secretly I am hoping for an invite or something of the sort. Maya says yeah a bit blah blah blah I wanna go to central London soon and do some tourist things. No invite is extended which is chill...I figure these are not my people. I mean they talk about if the boys are hot in Switzerland....which actually I am interested to know, but you get my point. (btw Jade says sure they are, but they all look the same blonde hair blue eyes and very tall. Maya says oh I love tall boys). I can hear my dad getting mad at me for saying they are not my people but when you know you know. I kinda think they thought the same about me. But this did not get me down, honestly I've been chilling alone.
After this interaction I went upstairs and FINALLY cleaned my room and put up my poster. It looks like somewhere actually lives here now. I put my horse girl picture next to my bed like I am an American soldier at war. Thennn I did some more grocery shopping. Got some pasta and pasta sauce and salt and pepper and chips oh also my greatest purchase which I had for dinner tonight: Some delish frozen dumplings from the oriental store next to my dorm yummmmmm. I had no oil so I cooked them in butter. Double yum. I have plans to get orange juice, mustard for making egg and tuna salad, and some ground beef when I decide to make maybe either pasta or a ground beef quesadilla.
Nice.
After shopping I went to this vision board making thing. Tbh vision boards are maybe the dumbest thing ever but if you like them I won't judge. I was like what am even gonna do with a vision board like that is a waste of paper, so I decided I would make a cool poster for my room instead. I get to vision board making place. There are different tables to sit at. I choose wrong LOL. I walk up to these two girls and I say is anyone sitting here and they say no no go ahead and then they go back to their conversation, don't even ask me my name s m h. Luckily they are having an interesting conversation so I can listen in. Blonde girl is having boy troubles, asking advice about this guy who says he doesn't know if he can do something serious. lolza so classic. They talk for a while in the craziest way. like total therapist speak.....freaky. One of them is from Canada I learn from their conversation. The blonde has a British accent so I assume she is from England. They talk in circles foreva and I just truck along making my dumb vision board. Their collage materials are really bad. one of them is a sheet of paper with a bunch of straight couples on it, but fear not because one picture on this paper is two hands clasped with a rainbow heart drawn on them. I cut this one out and put it on my board.
Some girl comes over to see what materials we have and she asks for our names, which is embarrasing for them because this is the first time they are learning my name. Weirdos. Anyways the girl says omg yours is so good! To me. Canada girl leans over and says wow that is really good, it's really crazy! What did you mean by that Canada *raises eyebrow* I hope noone notices I used the giant letter stickers to spell "dyke" on my poster...
When I finish my poster I get up to leave and say well I'll see you guys. Canada asks if she can see my finished product and they both go wowww it's so cool. I once again hope they don't notice the giant "dyke." It's not me being ashamed of my lesbian status, it's just a bit brash? Who knows maybe I am embarrased. Yur not in lesbian land anymore maria. As I'm leaving I say good luck on your posters and good luck to you (nods to blonde girl) on your boy troubles. She laughs and I leave hardy har har. Their posters sucked btw, but they seemed nice enough besides being freaks.
Can you spot the gay hands?
The internet keeps going out which is soooooo annoying. How am I supposed to build my characters so I can finally 36 star abyss. It's kinda embarrassing I haven't been able to yet. Tomorrow I am going back to Ikea with Irene yipee and this saturday I am going OUT with Irene. Maybe to a lesbian or gay club who knows. Today I was a bit sad about not having my whole wardrobe ohhhh how I miss all my clothes. So I wanna go to a charity shop ASAP. Need club clothes need more clothes in general. Are people better dressed in the UK? No definitive word out on that yet, but I think so. I think time will tell.
