On the up: Sarah!
On the down: How London is so far away

The other thing is that I've had Sarah, a friend from England visiting over the past 2 weeks so have been going out heaps and showing her how incredibly delightful KL is (so much of it isn't though - like the toilets and how all the tourist attractions need a boat of paint).

The most fun has been remembering all the weird shit we used to do at uni and talking about all the people that we loved/wanted to marry/ got on our bloody nerves every day. We really did that old lady thing by talking about the old days.

*feels young and silly*

Reminded me of so many lovely jubly things though.... like:
-Tom Smithard (the other newspaper editor we all loved to hate. I thought/still think he is the most beautiful person in the world, to which Sarah gags and says "I will NEVER understand that")
-Charles Lugton (the politics editor I wanted to marry)
-eating vodka jellies
-British television (Hollyoaks, Blind Date, Cilla Black!, Anne Robinson, Countdown)
-big glam pretentious campus media nights
-trying to get out of student union general meetings
-the burger vans

Okay, but none of this would have any significance to anyone reading this so I better stop being so self absorbed about this minute, little World In The Past.

Sarah's a very clever sort of journalist; especially the sort who's very politically sound and knows all this important stuff about the world. And she's starting an journalism course in London when she gets back which is going to make her even more clever, bright and talented than she already is. Funny really, because I used to order her around on the university paper when I was her editor, and now she's so going off to get journo training that will kick my butt.

Sarah coined the phrased "IT'S CRAZINESS!" at university and she was definitely one of the best people to go out with if you wanted to be silly and not feel silly being silly. Like, absolutely anything goes with Sarah. KL SOOOOOOO needs more people like her.

Sarah-sort-of-craziness includes things like
- running around in the cold in shorts with only a giant bottle of Baileys to keep warm
- making up your own kind of dance
- getting away with wearing lots of purple (in all shades) - not many people can pull off purple
- lots of dress up parties
- writing novels

amongst other things.

She even tried durian and didn't throw up. She ate everything I put in front of her - seriously man, anything goes!

Anyway, little old Sarah is off on a jet plane back home now so things are back to the normal doldrums here...

Back to work (oh wait, I forgot. I QUIT with a big fat Q hakakakakakakakaka!) and all kinds of random silliness.
