So I'm fully recovered from new years. It was loads of fun to see everyone. Marc's parents warmed up to us (Tom & I) and offered for us to stay another night be we politely declined. Marc took us to a nice Caribbean Jerk restaurant where we got a quick bite to eat. We didn't want to stay too long because there was a football (soccer for all you yanks tuning in at home) match going on that was just about to get out and once it ends, the roads become crazy.
Tom and I are going to spend the night back in London with Luke. He's got a full house so we're gonna have to rough it a bit on the couch and that is more than okay with us. For those of you who don't know of Luke & Jenna, they are legends at Camp Harlam. Luke had gone to camp in '03, '04, and '05 while Jenna was there '04 and '05. Lynn Cowie also lives with them but shes been MIA for some reason.
I think it's Lynn's birthday on the 4th. So Lynn, if you're reading this, Happy Birthday and get your arse back home!
Today was relatively uneventful, Tom and I got off the tube at Blackwall (Luke's stop) and decided to get some drinks and bring them back for our fabulous hosts. No luck though. I found the curry place that destroyed me when I first got there, Tandori Nights, and even the Papa John's pizza place but no liquor store. So we just stopped off and picked up some soft drinks. Couldn't help but notice a Ginger beer. Didn't try it but it looked...interesting.
I told Luke that I knew the way back to his house so not to worry about it but for those of you who know me and my great sense of direction, I obviously got lost. I called Luke and he's like "STAY WHERE YOU ARE! WE'RE COMING TO GET YOU! DON'T MOVE!" ...uhhh, ok. Does he know something we don't? Turns out we were over a street from his place and he was just 5 bottles of wine in (Not just for him, shared amongst Jenna, Matt, Luke, & Luke's friend, Natasha). So Luke and Matt found us and brought us back, joined in the wine festivities. Hung out for a few hours and watched Jenna just freak the F*@)$ out (video will be posted shortly). Then her and Luke had some sort of singalong (mainly Jenna, but Luke had some nice falsettos - and it wasn't even Tuesday!) meanwhile Tom, Natasha (who was so much fun, but is an absolute nutter!), and I took pictures and laughed at the duo. Matt just hid. It was all good fun.
Finally everyone decided to call it a night and watched Powerthirst 1, 2, & 3 (yea Blue!! shout out to 950 awesome-gate) and then Don't Mess with the Zohan. All in all, a quality low key night.
(I got a camera but haven't uploaded any pictures, maybe tomorrow)
