A wild post appeared!!

So. In light of my recent not-having-posted-in-the-last-month-and-a-week-ed-ness, I AM NOW WRITING A POST.

Well isn't that just fancy.

So. Um. Oh yes, if anybody actually cares, I am now in LONDON. Of course, the only people who read this blog at this point already know that, but.. y'know. For future reference or whatever.

SOME THINGS ABOUT LONDON ENGLAND:

• British keyboard layout is weird. WHY THE @ ABOVE THE APOSTROPHE.
• Everyone has a British accent. Those things are freakin' everywhere, man.
• Things are (relatively) cheap. THat is to say, everything is expensive in Australia.
• I left pretty much all of my chargers (along with my 3DS) in New York. My parent's will (hopefully) be sending them along shortly.
• THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SOLO (OR LIFT) HERE. In fact, I'm reasonably certain that Australia is possibly the only country in the world (except for maybe New Zealand) where you can get either of those. Which really pisses me off.
• Although, it is definitely possible to get Lemon Fanta, although I've only seen it in one shop, so far. And that stuff is close enough, I guess.
• The Occupy LSX (London Stock Exchange) protest is right outside St. Paul's Cathedral. I spent a fair amount of time just watching them put on some kind of demonstration. There were a fair few people with Guy Fawkes masks on. (Where can I get one of those? I really want one.)

Oh! And! I turned 18! Some things I discovered about alcohol:

• I can't drink beer. I might be hung from the nearest tree for saying this, but, quite honestly, I just don't like the taste.
• I am trying to fix this, though. I've resolved to force myself into liking beer by the end of the year.
• Guinness is even worse than beer.
• Jägerbombs are GODDAMN AMAZING.
• That being so, it is not advised to take them while jetlagged six hours behind.  It'll only make it worse.
• I can drink cider. Rekorderlig is pretty much, the best. Strongbow is pretty crap.
• Wine is, more or less overrated. I drank about 5/12ths of a bottle last night and the worst I got was a mild headache.
• For some reason, two pints of Aspell's cider and a shot of vodka really gets me drunk quickly. I'm not too sure why.
• The UK standard drink system is weird and/or stupid. Wikipedia just told me that one UK unit is 10 mL of alcohol. In Australia it's 10 g of alcohol. Which, I guess, makes less sense, but at least that way you end up with nice neat numbers of standard drinks for anything you order. None of this "2.3 UK units" crap. ONE BEER SHOULD EQUAL ONE STANDARD DRINK.

*cough* Rant over.

But, yeah. I'm in London. And I will be here for the rest of the year.

Out.
