Lamest trip ever May 2, 2008, 08:30:22
Mood:  sleepy
I am not (anymore?) one to go and talk about my life in journals, but this was just way too lame to not deserve a mention. Usually, I drop it in the complaints forum, but that's just way beyond that level of lame. The basic idea was a harmless trip to London to visit some old (and new) friends. Pros: - Met [subversive-imaginati] and [darbysniper] IRL - Saw the 39 steps played by only 4 actors Cons: - Everything else - The rest aswell - The Monty Python musical sucks (seriously) Let's try to sum it up the shortest way possible. Day 1 I arrived in London through the Eurostar in a surprisingly quiet trip (see: return trip for an explanation of the "surprisingly"). I was meant to stay at my ex-girlfriend's place, but her current boyfriend went batshit insane and refused. It's not like we were together more than 4 years ago, when we were just 14 and 15, and have both totally changed ever since. Well, I guess I can understand him. So I have to find a new place. I get lodged in her mother's place, which is nice enough. Apart from the dog that took a crap in my suitcase. Oh, and the rabbit that took a crap in my suitcase too, it's a trend apparently. I then went to a burial (which I was there for in the first place). Very sad, boring, etc. But that was expectable anyway, it's a burial after all, not a trip to an amusement park. Day 2 I went for a walk in the center, around Tottenham Court Road and New Oxford Street. Of course, the place is crowded and boring, but that was what I expected, since where I wanted to go was the apple store for free internet. I hopped in a train to Luton to go and meet [subversive-imaginati] and her flatmate (who are both really nice people btw). Fast forward to the evening, where I went to Spamalot, the Monty Python inspired musical. Basically, it's like MP and the Holy Grail, except it's a musical. Well, fine enough, but I came there to see something new, not a movie I've already seen countless times. Sure, the killer rabbit and the holy hand grenade were fun at first, but they get old after a while. Hating musicals, I was on for a lame evening. Sure, it was entertaining, but the predictability level blew the roof. Day 3 After being challenged to a fight by my ex's current boyfriend, she went batshit insane on him and dumped him in front of me. I was like "wtf". And he actually attempted to fight me some more right away instead of trying to get her back or something. God dammit, I was the one who was invited to London in the first place, all I did was accept the invitation to see an old friend's burial, I didn't go here to do marital counseling or whatever. Her being single now meant whine whine whine, so I went through an afternoon of whine with her telling me how lame he had been all along. I didn't need to know that, I planned to have FUN with my friends in London. Finally free from her, I went to see another friend... who had just been dumped by his girlfriend, and went for a big time whine. Then goes the meeting with [darbysniper] who, you guessed it, is now single. At least, he partly cut off on the whining and was just nice and sociable enough. I was totally stoned and my brain on the OFF position though (as proven by the awesome achievement of waiting for him at the wrong train station and phoning him to point out that there was no way 17 in King's Cross when it was at Liverpool Street Station, a 15 minute underground ride away). Day 4 O cruel world, why must the dog shit AGAIN in my suitcase, even though it was hidden on top of a cupboard. I hated dogs in the first place, this didn't help their case. Spent the morning plotting on how to food poison the dog. Thought better and instead went to take a walk around, which was greeted by a really heavy rain (the kind of rain I hate, even though I'm a rain enthusiast). The same rain there was the day before when I was with [darbysniper], and the same rain there was on the first day. Shite weather. In the evening, we went to see this: [link], which is about the best play I've ever seen. Honestly. I'm a Hitchcock fan, and this was countless times better than the legendary Hitchcock movie (of the same name, of course). If you go to London and wonder what you should see, don't go for the horrible Lord of the Rings pseudo-musical, or the Monty Python copycat of the movie you've already seen tons of times, go and see the 39 steps, you can't possibly regret that. Even if you didn't know the movie, it's a reenactment of the movie as a whole (except it's quite different, but what matters is there, the plot is still as awesome). Then came the time to go back to Paris. I didn't manage to get myself a ticket to go to Scotland for a couple days and extend my trip, which makes me quite sad. The way back is a horror story. Enter the single lady and her two kids. One is around 5 or 6, does very very very loud games, and prevents any possible form of sleep. The other one is a 6 months old baby, which shares the seat of his/her mother. Cue for the puking on my favorite coat. My only leather coat. The one I've had for years to which nothing ever happened. COVERED IN BABY PUKE. I still smells like shit now, and washing leather is a major pain in the arse. As much as I loathe babies, I tolerate them, because after all I've been one myself at some point. So I just helped her clean all that mess, and kept my boiling rage inside. But dammit, this was the worst travel ever. No sleep, and covered in baby puke. As I just spent one hour cleaning my leather coat, which is about clean now, I felt the need to drop this journal so I could get rid of all the horrors this trip has stuck in my head. Memos to self: - Do not, ever, accept invitations by ex girlfriends. - Hating dogs is the right way to go. Cancel plans to change that irrational fear. Keep on hating the bastards. - Next time I travel in front of a person with a baby, go to the bar and spend the trip there. If it's in a plane, grab a parachute and jump. Read More Storm-ID
