Link: The Politics Test on Ok Cupid |
Okay, so I saw this on someone’s blog, and it looked like fun. As I was doing the test, I was freaking out tha I was going to get anarchist! Haha well at least that didn’t happen.
new blog.
under construction.
will post the link when it’s finished. (aka never)
I HAVE A KOOL KAR 2 SHOW U
I present you the lovechild of Bugatti Veyron and Hermes. I personally think that the car is ugly as shit, but it’s the thought that counts! Plus, who would turn away a car that comes with a free Hermes wallet and suitcase, fitted perfectly in the trunk? Besides, it’s practically the fastest street-legal car, so it’s allowed to be a little ugly. Or a lot.
Haha and yesterday during the Olympics opening ceremony, Bush totally checked his watch. DUDE I WOULD NOT BE CHECKING MY WATCH IF I WAS THERE. Especially not if I was a crazy old man being photographed by tons of people.
And OHMYGAWD I found some videos from the day I got to England, and I’m like tired and shit and delirious and making this video. And there’s another from sometime around May, I think. In that one I’m like doing a tour of my house. lol.
A little preview of what’s to come:
I’ve been going through my old photos from England, and I’ll post up the best from each country/segment. This one is (obviously) from Prague, at the airport. The rest will go up tomorrow. Then I’ve got views from the London Eye, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Pompeii, Berlin (quite a bit from there), and Ireland. There all scenic or architecture photos because I’ve put up most of the people ones on Facebook.
Ugh and my sister is crazy. For the record.
Cheers
Beatrice

Any suggestions? This is going to be majorly expensive to buy all of the songs, but whatever!
I’ll post the completed ridonkulously amazing list in like a week.

I’ve actually just realised
that these friends are amazing
and I’ll never see them again.
YES I SAW HIM LAST NIGHT. He opened for Simon Amstell, and was abfab.
And then he has this post:
british vs. american senses of humor
“It’s a truism that British comedy is more complex, surreal and experimental than its slick American cousin, so a UK comedy audience keeps having to gauge the precise level of irony and political correctness.”- Nicholas Barber (The Independent) on watching Chris Rock at the O2 arena.
nicholas barber is a moron who needs someone to punch him in the face, pin him to the ground, and then poke him in the face for 2 hours with their index finger going “meow, meow, meow.” i’m actually getting pretty sick and bored and tired of pretentious moronic brits banging on about how brits have a much more sophisticated, clever, ironic, blah blah sense of humor than americans.
here’s the deal. there is no such thing as a british sense of humor, just as there is no such thing as an american sense of humor. show me one show in britain that is more “complex” (whatever the hell that means) than “the daily show,” or a brit talk show host better than letterman or conan and i’ll make you a smoothie, from scratch.
the difference lies not in supposed british or american senses of humor, but in individual senses of humor.
there are some comedians and shows that intentionally create uncomfortable scenes that make you cringe, feel awkward, etc., like jimmy carr, Alan Partridge, The Office to some extent, curb your enthusiasm, which some people love, and others don’t, its just a taste thing.
then there are there are those who like shows that are surreal, non-sensical, absurd, like harry hill, Seinfeld, Arrested Development, the Mighty Boosh, kids in the hall, Monty Python, etc., which i honestly can’t get enough of, i love em. again, just a taste thing.
this has nothing to do with british or american senses of humor, because such a thing, from experience, doesn’t fucking exist. please punch the next person in the face who says so. its getting tiring and annoying. i hate human beings. goodbye
TOO TRUE, MY BROTHA
I feel so ungrateful for really really really wanting to move back to the US right now. Oh well.
TWO WEEKS It feels like forever! I still have like seven more exams, three of which are on Wednesday. Ah, but we go to Ireland next weekend. We went to London for the last time yesterday, and it was really sad! I’ve been so many times this year, but in half a month, it won’t be just a bus ride away. 
But DC will! WOOT WOOT
And I read the entire Twilight series in under 48 hours. YES I AM OBSESSED
But what can I say? THEY’RE SO GOOD Although, not sure I approve of Robert Pattinson as Edward. I always pictures Edward as blonde, even though he’s not even described that way in the book, but I dunno. I guess we’ll see how he turns out in December. And also, does anyone else think that Kirstin Stewart looks a bit odd? Like, her nose/eyes/mouth? haha all her facial features. I DUNNO OKAY but I think she’ll be pretty good.
AND OMG I SAW SIMON AMSTELL TONIGHT. And none of you know who he is, but he’s pretty much an amazing British comedian who is amazing. KYEAH.
BEA
