How do I love thee...

I love London. I love it I love it I love it!!! London is the best city on earth! I dont care what anyone else says, London is amazing. People talk about Paris being so wonderful and beautiful and all that crap. ITS NOT! Paris is smelly, and dirty, and the people are assholes! In London, you can get from one place to another on the underground without a rediculous amount of confusion. In London you can walk down the street and not smell garbage for miles and miles. In London, shit doesnt cost like a million euros. Obviously, it costs pounds, but the city is still a lot cheaper. London is one of the cleanest cities I have ever seen. The underground is so easy to navigate an idiot could do it. Thats why none of my classmates managed to get lost. London also has so many cheap and free things to do that you can spend a whole day in the city without spending a dime. I have been lots of places in London. I went to the Tower of London (very freaking cool, although I would have thought it would have been a bit bloodier) and our tour guide, his name was "Mickey if you liked him, Paul if you didnt" He was good fun! I liked him so he can be Mickey. I went to the London Dungeon which is very cool, takes you through the bad history of london, like the plague, Jack the Ripper, and all that good stuff. Best part (besides that Declan was with me) was that there is a part called "Wicked Women" and the last woman that you come to is none other than Ann Robinson, thats right, YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK, GOOD-BYE!!!! Soo cool! I also went on the London Eye. Really expensive and not all that great! 40 minutes to see a lot of buildings. Still worth the experience though. Oh my goodness, I cant think of all of the things that I have done. Camden and Covent Markets, these huge outdoor markets, very cool, lots of cheap stuff! Ate a lot. Spent a weekend there with Declan! Very fun, I love Declan, he's my favorite Brit. Camp friends are the best!! Of course, I had to share him with Donna and all those other spastic friends of mine but thats ok. Oh, and shows are way cheaper here. I have seen Hamlet, Kiss Me, Kate, King Lear, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, Little Women, and Blood Brothers. Good times. Of course, not all were in London, but those are the shows I have seen. My favorite by far was Funny Thing because it was their final show so it was extra Funny. Blood Brothers made me cry. It was amazing. Mickey was HOT. King Lear, I thought it was great, the guy who played Edmund was super HOT, but my teachers didnt like it. Hamlet BLEW ASS, but Toby Stephens is quite fit(attractive)! Kiss Me, Kate was good, much better than Hamlet. Little Women was nice. Their American Accents sucked. But it was good. Laurie was HOT! Can you tell what I focus on in these plays?? Anyway, London is great, I love it so much and if I moved to England, I would want to live in London. I have roamed around the streets of London more than once doing nothing. In fact, I went into London 3 times in 1 week. A lot of travel time and once was only in the evening for a show, but thats just a slight explanation of how much I love London. Ok, now that I have ranted and raved about how wonderful, beautiful, exciting, fun, and all that crap that London is, I am going to get back to my work, especially since I have a final tomorrow. So, good-night, and remember kids, life is like a box of chocolates. Ya open it up and someone has taken a bite out of each and every one...
