New! Improved! London! Blog! Words!!

Everyone here in London is Blogging, and as a writer I started to feel a few twinges of guilt for not doing a blog myself. Therefore I decided to revamp my Quest blog (seeing as the Quest pretty much ended after the mega-church, which I never did write a blog about...) and turn it into something else. Even if some people think I'm a bit late to join the trend.

So here we have it!! The adventures of Amelia "Mia" Hanson as she travels across (parts) of the Western World! Aren't you excited? I would be if I were you. Though I'm not sure if I'd be excited to BE you as I'm decently satisfied with being me... moving on.

LONDON!!

(that's where I live!)

I live in a flat lovingly named The Shining (which I will explain in a post once my flat has internet so I can give you a nice visual explanation). The Shining is a long, thin flat. With a long, thin kitchen that we still have managed to fit all six residents (that would be Shena and Sam in the front bedroom, Morgan and Mia in the middle, and Theresa and Latrice in the back, with their own toilet) in at one time. The Shining's kitchen also holds a (soon to be replaced) half-dead fridge that keeps our food longer than without a fridge, but not as long as with a good fridge, plus the freezer doesn't freeze, just chills better than the fridge. There is also a sort of courtyard outside two of the bedroom windows in The Shining, but we are not allowed to enter it. Therefore the only use of the courtyard is for Morgan and I to hear Theresa and Latrice giggling into the wee hours of the night, and for Latrice and Theresa to hear Morgan inform me that she is a Mermaid the moment I close my eyes.

(this is my life)

I’m actually becoming quite fond of London, or at least the parts of London I spend most of my time in, which would be Kensington, Notting Hill and Bayswater. I haven’t really bothered to see too many touristy sites yet, though I do want to, I just never really want to when I actually have the free time for it. I suppose that’s just how it goes isn’t it?

I’m starting to realize that this blog entry is quite random. I think in upcoming posts I will attempt to have a clearer theme, maybe add more funny (because I want to work on my funny) but that could be an epic fail, and knowing me, my writing may end up so tragic it’ll make you tear up a bit, but let’s try and avoid that shall we? Yes.

As far as my “Quaking” goes, I suppose I’ve been a bit of a bad Quaker, as I haven’t really attended meeting since high school... with the exception of that one time this summer. Though I did look up meetings in London and I may try one out sometime while I’m here. I also never do my own personal silent worship. Though! Sometimes I do literally quake (mostly when working in the library) so that’s something isn’t it?
