I have a bed to sleep in and stuff

I have an address now. Which means I really live here. The address I speak of is:
38 Osborne Road
London
NW2 5DP
United Kingdom

It might possibly be:
38 Osborne Road
Willesden Green
London
NW2 5DP
United Kingdom
but I've gotten stuff already just at the first one, so when someone sends me something - and if no one does I will send the army of pigeons I am currently recruiting to harrass you - you could probably forget the "Willesden Green" part. Or whatever. Do whatever you want. But send me some mail. I like it.

Everyone who is going to read this will already know that I'm working in the bookshop at Westminster Abbey. But just to reiterate - it is a blast. It's just a retail job and most of the customers are tourists who speak no English and want every postcard they purchase bagged separately, but it is a blast. Everyone I work with is hilarious and the day, usually, goes by very quickly.

I worked at the stall in the museum the other day and everyone who comes in there has some very complicated question about the history of the English monarchy. I don't know a damn thing about the English monarchy. I have purchased a book called Kings, Queens, Bones and Bastards. It may or may not help, but it's something to read.

Starting today, I have 6 days off in a row. I don't work again until Friday the 28th. That is also the day I get my first paycheck, which is sort of inconvenient. Luckily I have the aforementioned book to read, and I think I at least have a basic understanding of the way the buses work. So I will read and smoke and drink instant coffee and ride around on a bus. This is NOT irritating. Not sure what I'll do for Christmas. My plan so far is to ride around on a bus. Until I find a place to have a beer and some dinner. Or whatever. I really don't know.

I miss everybody. I'm not just saying that because it seems like something you should say when you're far away. I miss everyone a lot. Being away for Christmas will be strange. But the girl I moved in here with (who is from Ohio and on the same program as me) has only been here a few weeks, too, and she went home yesterday for Christmas, which just seems MORE strange.

If you suddenly come into a lot of money, you can call me! my phone number here is 07971928151. You have to put a country code in front of it and drop the first zero and all that jazz, but if you're bored and win the lottery, you could call me.

Anyhow! That wasn't extremely interesting, but I wanted to put something on here. I love and miss everybody and I hope everyone's Christmas is as sexy as possible.
