The Seven Sins

The past two days have been ones of lounging, movie watching and going out. We're finishing this week off as a tourist and tomorrow we plan on becoming native Londoners - starting our jobs, acting responsibly, not looking at our map every 10 minutes...

But before we "grew up" so-to-speak, we had to make sure to party hard. Hence our trip to Sin. A five room club with numerous bars, Sin boasted a varied selection of music genres, tons of girls in scantily clad outfits, and plenty of white couches to lounge in. After some dancing, some smoozing and some drinking, we called it a night and actually made it home on a night bus! This may not seem like anything, but it was a HUGE success.

While I was laying in my extremely hard and uncomfortable bed, I realized the seven of us who went could easily represent the seven deadly sins. Maybe that's why they let us in the VIP line, saving us a whole $4 I might add. Let's make some connections shall we:

Pride: Alex - Alex just recently got some new duds, including a jacket from H&M and some Diesel shoes. In other words, he thinks he's the hott shit of the group right now. ;)
Envy: Megan - Megan has plenty to be envious of, including our ability to not talk on the phone for hours on end, our ability to talk like a build-a-bear, and Alissa's ability to attract weirdos at the club.
Gluttony: Deanna - Oh Deanna...This girl is a crazy alcoholic, lol, enough said.
Lust: Alissa - Alissa has been chasing British men since we stepped off the plane.
Anger: Graham - Poor Graham gets anger out of default, but I'm sure he was angry when he got Deanna's tab at the club right?
Greed: Bomo - This kid is all about getting the most out of everyone else's money. ;) He's a moocher, stealing sandwiches and Strongbow from unsuspecting victims.
Sloth: Me - Seems rather strange to most of you I'm sure, but it's true. I've been the biggest lazy bumb this week than I ever have been. I guess this semester took a lot more out of me than I thought.

Let's move on to last night. We met up at Piccadilly Circus again and headed to the Sports Cafe. I was the only one who had ever been here before and it wasn't nearly as crowded as it had been when I was there earlier in the week, but still an OK time. We got down and dirty on the dance floor and Alissa and I are determined to outdance Bomo. This may come as a surprise to most of you who know my dancing capabilities, but yes, I have been shown up.

The strangest thing happened on the way home though. After grabbing an overpriced meal at Burger King, we were waiting at the bus stop for our double-decker. A significant amount of time had passed and Alissa and I took seat on a stoop of a nearby building. Then a woman, dressed in Gypsy clothing and carrying a mirror strolled by. I found myself starring and then I made eye-contact...wrong move. She came back and found the need to bless me and my wife (apparently Alissa, sorry we didn't invite anyone to the wedding). After making a scene, she handed me some leaves from a tree. Random I know. Thank god the bus came shortly there after.

I slept in today, having some rather weird dreams. Alissa and I headed off into the city to find a few places and now I'm just chilling, kind of eager for tomorrow to get here so I can start work. I can't wait to meet some fresh people.

There's a man scaling the rooftops of the buildings outside my window right now. I don't know whether to alert the authorities or watch in humor as he makes his way across. The rooftops are quite steep, he must be a mad man.

I guess that's all for now. We're going to attempt to post some pictures later I think, I'll keep you updated.
