She's “in London Still, la la la, London Still”


A very dear friend of mine Bootsi is currently experiencing the cricketing dream by living and playing in England for three months. She has a 'tour diary', (insert nerd alert groan here) which is extremely entertaining, although a true understanding of Kath and Kim is required to get most of her humour.

She made a comment in her diary about loving the experience in the UK and enjoying "knowing" lots of new people, but not necessarily the "getting to know" part. Splitting hairs in comparison...maybe.... but when I read that I completely understood.

I'd be great to skip the small talk with everyone we meet and go straight into the knowing them part. That's where all the fun is! Give me a good one on one D and M anyday instead of a group small talk situation. Maybe if I were better at small talk I'd love it….don't we all dislike what we struggle to do..

I'm pretty sure when Bootsi and I met each other in our mid teenage years our first words weren't. "Hey, hows the weather?", or "Hey, love what you've done with your hair Kimmy!". Although seeing as it was a cricket trip it was more likely to be , "Well played Victoria" after we thrashed Qld once again, go Vics.

Anyway.

Have fun Bootsi and I'm sure you'll catch the train down to Camdem to wander around’, so you can ‘buy’ me some funky records with that old mo-town sound’, (I actually don't think you are in London anymore but I just love that song by the Waifs to so I’ll pretend you are)

Cheers,

Ingrid:)

What a great idea...

Not im not actually in la la london still...

brings a whole new meaning to that song tho...goosebump material..

IM literally 'going to Ibiza soon, back to the island, we're gunna have a party in the Mediterranean sea.....

cryptic..

its kinda cool we've such similar thoughts, with such different personalities... provides very in-depth conversations...

i've not met anyone that possesses such similar intellect...yet, on totally different levels...

cool..

what is intelligence? Really? Its what you make of it... am i intelligent if i can recite material from a text book? am I intelligent if i can read facts from the back of a cornflake box?

is wisdom not intelligence, is empathy? Is understanding and caring not intelligent qualities?
slightly delusional atm

my feet are col..
one hand is cold...
isnt that odd how that happens?
why just one hand?
both are used equally...

can you still be jet lagged 3 weeks later?

why do we eat when we are bored?
do we forget we are hungry just because we're busy?

hmm
