hello from london [part eleven]

hello peeps!

how are you? i want sydney news. you know, who is doing what [or to whom], gimme something! i have two stories for you. one funny, the other i just have to get off my chest.

there is a flower market on columbia road [within walking distance from my house] on sundays. it is always packed with people selling flowers and people buying them. on the end of the street is a vintage crockery/ tea set/ kitchenware shop. it is very twee. there is a tea house at the back with tapestries on the wall. the one i like is a small one of a sparrow in a tree. two weeks ago i asked if it was for sale and how much, the lady says £7.50 [not too terrible]. i go back this week and ask a different lady how much it is and she says £12 and i tell her what the other lady said, maybe she could check the price for me? this lady made me cry telling me she has never had such an offensive customer and she did not like my implication of her cheating me. wowzers. it did not matter what i said after that, i was the most vile thing ever to her. ok. well i bought it at £7.50 anyway mostly to spite her. maybe we hurt each other's feelings? 

this second story is a lot funnier. ready? rebecca and i went out friday night to a basement bar my friend bahbak djs at. we were outside drinking £1 beers, classy. rebecca likes jesus-types and you know, being her friend and all i try to help her out. i point to one and say "what about him?", she retorts with a "yeah, if jesus were gay", ok. i point to a less attractive but obviously straight jesus-type and she says "he is jesus enough", takes a swig of her beer, "he will be jesus in a minute". oh i have never laughed so hard.

i relented and bought a cheap disposable camera from the supermarket today.

eley kishimoto are calling people this week for interviews. wish me luck!

lots of love and missing you heaps [all of you]
