London and the value of being a geek.

Hello. This is going to be very short. Before I begin I am not even going to do my own challenge, just because I can't be bothered. By the way, superfluous means over the top basically, but I'm not 100% certain that's how you spell it.
This week..
hmm.. Wow, for some reason, (because I have a freaky memory) I can memorise a deck of cards in about 5 minutes, but I can't even remeber what I did this week. I hope to God it's because I'm tired, otherwise I have senile dementure.. dementure, dementia, however you spell it (I can't even remeber spellings xD). Anyway, there was something that happened, well obviously; You remember.. I'll choose another word.... you know when I kept on talking about law and stuff every single week, and I never spoke about anything else (As if you could forget), well, It actually came to use sooner than I expected. Basically, some chavs were shouting stuff about my lovely curly hair, obviously not knowing that they were insulting a geek, who's geekyness was his strength in situations like this. They used they're clearly impecible, infallible, astonoshing, imagination, and geniously arrived at the name 'curly-wurly', which was.. I think.. an attack at my hair. In case you don't have it where you are, a curly wurly is a chocolate bar we have here (Btw, If you do know what one is, I don't want to sound patronising). There was a group of about 8 of them, similar age to me- some a little older and some a little younger. I knew a few of them for some reasons, I think one of them was called Latex or Laton or something and then the other three go to a school near me, One of them easily recognisable by his size, as he squeezed his way out of the chip shop to join into a chant about chocolate aimed at offending my hair, no joke.. crazy, huh? Anyway, knowing the law, I bravely (or at least tried to appear so) approached them and suggested that they stop chanting. Of course, I was outnumbered approximatley 1000-1 (well strictley speaking about 8 to 1) But I knew something which meant if they did do anything, it would only help me. That is when I put on my most intelligent and smug sounding, 'bbc' voice and told them that they had just harrassed me, and if I wanted to, I could charge them all. To make sure I didn't sound vauge, and to convey an idea that I knew everything about law there is (in fact I know next to nothing, I am just good at speaking), I stated the exact laws they were in breech of: The 1986 Public order act, section 5, stating that it is against the law to use disorderly behaviour within the sight or hearing of a person likeley to be caused harrasment, alarm or distress as a result of this behaviour. They had no defence as I could prove all of the things I had to if this ever went to court. It was also anti-social behaviour, and breeching the peace. I told them that I knew where four of them go to school (which I do) and that I would be able to identify them and if I took immediate action, the police would find all of them so I wouldn't have to go all sherlock holmes on thier asses. Their smirking died down, and I walked off with my blood having turned nearly into pure chemicals. I love being a boffin.
The best part about it, is that he only reason I know that law, is because I have been studying a case about that particular law.. for.. absolutley ages.

London- Well, I know it is the first time you've travelled alone, there is a first time for everything and if you have the opportunity to go, then why not. But I'd plann it, otherwise you'll end up doing loads of really crappy things, unless you enjoy getting lost, travelling accross London's noisy, dirty and smelly underground to end up in some really touristic shop where all you can buy is those stupid little plastic union Jacks and mini London busses. I have been to London numerous times, and half of them have been spent standing in a packed tube train, staring at the rude creature next to me who keeps staring at me. The other half have been fantastic, fun trips. There are some obvious things to do, like the London eye and stuff, but there is a science musium which was really cool and had a massive dinosaur as well as a life size model of a blue whale. Btw, is next summer, this summer, or the summer of 2010?

Bye :D

The weeks from hell

The next couple of weeks is gonna be packed with school work and a lot of assignments for me to do, and exams to study for. I am so not looking forward to it, but when it’s all done in the beginning of June I’m done with the spring semester. I did however get accepted to the summer course so I’ll be starting to weeks of class immediately after all my exams is done. Then I’m gonna have a couple of weeks off before the exams for the summer course. So as you can see I’ll have a lot to do. And on top of all of this my sister is having her baby in 4-6 weeks, could be sooner or later, and I’m going on the cruise to Riga and Visby.

I’ve also started thinking about going to London next summer or so but I’m not sure because I’ve never travelled completely alone before. A sign for the fact that I should go though is that when I was at the mall today a randomly got a travel guide book for free and it was for London.

Since I’m really tired and has a lot to do I’m gonna move on to the questions.

Mine: The longest I’ve slept I think is 24-26 hours straight.

Chris: The oldest thing I personally own is a teddy bear that I got when my grandfather died and it’s about 70 years old, but it looks like it could have been bought yesterday because both he and I have taken very good care of it.

Sam: As you can see I didn’t do your challenge this week. Mainly because I don’t have time but also because I don’t have a working camera at the moment and when I started writing this blog today I didn’t know exactly what superfluous meant so I couldn’t properly use it in sentences.

New question: I need some advice, what do you think about my plans of going to London. Should I consider doing it? I mean it is after all a big city and it would be my first time travel alone.
