RAD accents, cheese and onion crisps, bounty bars, fabulous friends, chips, sitting in the passenger side which is usually my driver's side, mtv that plays videos 24 hours a day and 8 other random music channels that play videos all day as well, posh people, GOOD tea, learning new words(spanner = wrench), mini tetris, cool clothes, seeing chris go to work at a store that is equal to 7-11 in dress pants, dress shirt, and a tie, awesome people, seeing the look on my friend's faces when i give them american gifts, playing games, laughing..laughing,..and MORE laughing, did i mention how brilliant these people are.? im just trying to recap and list the great stuff i am experiencing here. ive been here since wednesday and already am getting sad about leaving. im staying here in essex til sunday when i journey up to the north to stay with my awesome pal bean. im psyched to see him, andy, and dunc. the littlest boy at the house im staying now is soo cute too. he's 10 and i tell him alllll the latest slang and he sounds so funny saying it. im about to go spike his hair when im done with this. the word i forgot teaching my friends was wife beater. we saw one on tv today and the middle child anthony said it i was like man u remember that?!?! he was like yeahhhhh and i guess they educated all their friends with that one hahah. i cant really explain the coolness of this place in a journal entry. oh well. just know that it's rockin here. tomorrow we're going out somewhere, not sure yet and out to a nice restaurant for din din. tonite im going to an american restaurant with jon and maria for a xmas party for jon's work. some thing's that kinda suck here are the coke is weird it tastes gross. well most of the pop tastes nasty here. and nothing has ice. i just asked phillip if they have any ice in the freezer and he said they never use the ice trays. :sigh: but its worth it to be iceless for the time im here. some of the food is kinda weird, i do admit i miss some usa stuff. but again that is ok. well im going to end this now. this entry isnt flowing either. i cant get my thoughts together to make it sound even slightly coherent. i dont know its just the way i am. well here's someone who probably can write better than me!!!! Little philip(the youngest...he's 10) he's gonna write a bit....
