Lordy lordy, I have been informed that there was an article on blogs in yesterday’s London Evening Standard, with a screencap of the kitschcam. If that ain’t going to send them running away with their hands over their eyes, what the hell will? Now the juicy stuff. Anyone have a copy? Purdy please? With a cherry on top? You know I love you. Smoochies ‘n’ all….

Back to London in about 3 hours, for a spot of seeing friends, playing in the big city, and even drinks with the UK London Weblogging cabal. And I’m still in my pyjamas. What is a girl to do? (get dressed – duh!)

Yet another scary realisation: I start university in just a month’s time. It’s shocking how quickly the time is flying of late – and this is supposed to be something that only happens as you get older. It seems like yesterday that I was nervously ripping open the envelope to get my A-Level exam results, to see which way my next three years would be decided: would I get the 3 A grades I needed to take up my place at Oxford? Would I miss those, but make the A and 2 Bs I needed to go to Birmingham? Or would I find I hadn’t got the grades I needed, and would be thrown into the lot of Clearing? Then it was straight off to the US for five months at FIU, then off to London for six months at the Guardian, and now, suddenly, the year is over. Where did it go? What’s happening to my life – is it just flashing by? Am I grabbing every opportunity I can before it’s whisked away from me, never able to be taken again? It’s a sobering thought, and one that makes me more determined than ever to try and make the best of everything that I’m lucky enough to be given, and earn that which I’m not….

I’ve just realised that the American expedition is but a mere week away. A shout out to anyone in Washington, Chicago, NY or Boston who wants to meet a nutty Brit blogger and her slightly less nutty, equally Brit, non-bloggery pal, drop me a line, as I’m descending on your city soon – you can run but you can’t hide!
