in london, with tia.
i love her house; it’s so cozy.
but getting here was an utter hassle (and i loved every bit of it).
i didn’t expect to see gemma again before i left, but she dropped by with her friend kat to throw me an impromptu goodbye party; balloons, champagne, a cake, party hats, a confetti cannon – it was a proper shindig, and my heart was full to bursting. we broke some rules and i broke a glass, but it was amazing and sweet and wonderful.
then it was time for teary goodbyes and we got in gemma’s car to drive off to the megabus stop at MAYO AVE, BRADFORD. unfortunately, we kept getting lost and going in circles and soon i felt faintfainfaint. ashlee and gemma kept yelling at each other (“YOU TURNED TOO EARLY,” “GIVE ME THE RIGHT DIRECTIONS, GODDAMIT”).
i was running out of time and we weren’t moving fast enough so ashlee and i hopped into a cab with gemma and kat following behind; it was probably the most exciting car chase of my life (and gemma’s, apparently).
the megabus was about to leave by the time we pulled over, and gemma and ashlee whipped my luggage out of her trunk as i rushed to pay my cab driver. i was so close to missing my bus, but we were all laughing by the time we had to say our final goodbye. and gemma passed me a huge surprise card during our last embrace.
i’m going to miss living at ashlee’s house; we would definitely make brilliant roommates.
and now i’m at tia’s house in london.
we watched the finale of big brother last night and had very iggyinappropriate discussions, and now we’re going out to watch scott pilgrim at the O2.
so excited.
