London Calling

Another reminder about far behind my blog is, last summer I went to Europe with some friends and just now I'm getting the pictures up. If you follow my instagram you might have already seen some of these beauties-I tried to restrain myself and not post too many pictures. We'll see how that goes. This is just the first in a row of posts of Europe pictures to come.

We flew into London and stayed there for three days. Even though I've lived in Europe a few years ago, it was my first time in London. From hanging out by the Thames to St Peters and then of course the last blue police box at Earl's Court, I loved it all so terribly. The only thing I could of done without was the surprising heat wave.

When I first got those shoes, probably five or so years ago, I couldn't even walk in them. Now, though, I've managed to master it and who can resist such Victorian splendor?

P.S. can you spot the TARDIS on the dashboard? 

I've met a duchess

When lacking for words when meeting someone new this is one way to get the conversation going. It is definitely something that people do not expect you to say. Not to brag, but it is true. Of course at the time I had no idea, I found out later. Apparently, they did not want to overwhelm me. I was already overwhelmed, I was speaking a new language, hanging out with people I barely knew, and thrown into a completely different culture.

On a different subject, because I'm still fighting back the sickness and haven't had the chance to take photos yet, I thought I'd post some really old ones. These are from late July/early August. My brother snapped these photos for me. Just a little warning, my true colors come out in these photos

Sonic Screwdriver: Amazon (same)

I've mentioned before, briefly, that I love science fiction. Back in the summer when my brother spotted someone with a TARDIS in their yard, I knew I had to get some pictures with it. Being very brave, I'm normally shy, I went to the house and asked if I could take photos with it. Obviously, they said yes. 

The inspiration for the outfit came from one of the doctor's companions-Amy Pond. Her outfits tends to consist of mini skirts, tights, leather jackets, and boots. The discovery of the TARDIS was good timing, as just a few weeks earlier I had received my sonic screwdriver in the mail. I'm a geek and I admit it happily. 

What are your geek-isms?
