So, apparently party night is Tuesday in Paris

Guys, it's Tuesday night here and it is ca-razy. There are people partying in the streets, they have a huge boom box below our apartment and their blasting Kanye, which is awesome, there are street bands, underage drinking galore, it's insanity. It's friggin' Tuesday, you guys! 

I don't know what's going on, french people are so crazy.

I'm so confused, why is this happening?! Does this happen every Tuesday? I'm pretty sure nothing special is happening today (though, I am pretty disconnected with current events).

In non partay related news, we are heading to Rome tomorrow, am muchos excited. Also muchos excited about saying "muchos" all the time (though I'm pretty sure that's not Italian). And, that's about it.

I'm reading a new book, Undead and Unwed by MaryJanice Davidson, I am enjoying it a lot, it's really funny, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys vampire fiction (what is vampire non-fiction? Dun dun duuuuun!), that is also hilarious. Go forth and read!

French people scare me greatly

Me and my brother went to a shop called Zara today and had a strange experience.

There we were, buying some clothes at the checkout. Another woman was trying to return some pants next to us and was growing increasingly agitated. All of a sudden she starts yelling at the sale assistant about something in French and gesturing wildly towards us. The sales assistant yelled something back and then gestured to us as if to say "Right!? Right?" Me and my brother stared with confused expressions at her as she continued to yell at the woman. Luckily, soon after, we got our bag and pretty much ran out of the store.

French people are crazy

Oh my god, the deliciousness

French food is so good. I am yet to try snails, not sure if I'm tough enough, but what I have had has been awesome (minus the crab for obvious reasons).

We went to a patisserie today and I bought a chocolate croissant and a chocolate eclair. So excited.

Look at the deliciousness!

More deliciousness

And fancy packaging!

And look at these tiny bananas! What is the point in them?

So far, French people are a bit crazy when it comes to driving and all they seem to do is eat delicious foods in cafes all day long. I want to be French.

I can't eat something with a face

I can't take apart the carcass of an animal.
I can't look it in the eyes and then eat it.
I should be a vegetarian, but...well I have a few smallish reasons for why I'm not.
I can eat like a steak or a piece of fish, but not if I've seen it's face.



We are in Paris now and we went out to dinner at a little cafe. Take note: menus can be very misleading. I ordered "crab with mayonnaise sauce" (it had English below the French).

I got a whole crab, sawn in half. My god.

I thought I was going to throw up or pass out, or both.

It was all furry and life-like! It had a face! And eyes and little legs. I couldn't do it, I couldn't even touch it. So, I had onion soup for dinner, much less horrifying than the crab, a lot less satisfying. I think I'm going to go and eat French biscuits and try and stop twitching and shivering about the crab. I can see it's little face in my mind.


Ther would have been drawings in this post, but, unfortunately (kind of, I love my iPad a fair amount), I'm on my iPad, so I can't upload photos

Freaking trees and their yellow tree moult

This is the tree that we currently sit under at lunch.

This is how it leaves me at the end of lunch.

Freaking tree jerks and their yellow tree moult.

Just some drawings I've done in the past few days

Ahhh! Life is good again!

I just got my braces off (well the top half of them at lease) and everything is once again amazing and rainbow horses puking glitter-tastic (that sounds horrible, but it's a metaphor, so shut up)

Metaphorical unicorn of happiness

So they gave me this retainer thingy, it’s really weird and definitely not what I was expecting. It’s a clear plastic thing shaped to my teeth…it feels odd, smooth and slimy, creepy really.

A bit strange like this

It makes me have a bit of a lisp and it’s really annoying. Boyfriend will probably make fun of me, damn, perfect toothed, jerk.

Well, ta for now, babes

Ahh, flying, doctors, life in general

Oh man, guys, we're going to England in, like, five days, oh man. So excited and also terrified, new people, planes, possibly getting cardiovascular disease or whatever you get from not moving your feet and hands in high/low pressures.

I hate those movie things for making sure you move your body or else you'll be really uncomfortable, with the little drawn blood vessels and such. It just makes my wrists and feet ache.

Next week I have so many physicians of varying areas to see. I'm getting my top braces off, wooh! That's on Tuesday, then the Dentist on Wednesday to get something else done to my teeth so they don't screw up completely, then I'm going to the doctor's on Thursday to get some form of sleeping tablet for the plane, and me and my mother are getting our lashes tinted tomorrow. Plus I have two assignments due, EVEN THOUGH IT'S AFTER BLOCK EXAMS. What is wrong with teachers? Don't they know that we expect to do nothing at all after exams? Can't they see that we need two weeks of going to school for no reason before we can be fully prepared for holidays? Though I'll only have one of those weeks of nothing.
