This morning we were woken, for the second time, by a fire drill. After sleeping through the first day of orientation lectures, and having a few ham & cheese sandwhiches, the evening slowly came. Julian went out with some people from The Crofton to check out Matisyahu, a Jewish Orthodox reggae singer, who is quite good. Both without cell phones, Dan and I decided this provided us with no other option but to go explore London the traditional way - by drinking heavily and jumping on the Tube.
After a few local pubs, we rode the T (Tube, whatever) to Piccadilly Circus, where we did, in fact, get silly.. in Piccadilly. We stumbled our way to a kareoke bar up a side street, where there were about a hundred potential future United Kingdom Idol super stars. The music, singing, and beer was great. I praised a few of the contestants and made small talk, picking out one in particular who I thought was the best.
So we continued on our merry way to another pub, where we met some more random people, with whom we chatted and they, in turn, brought us to an Irish pub, O'Neil's (go figure), which stays open 'til 3am. Dan and I were having a blast, until one of the girls that we met segueyed the conversation I was having with her in this way:
"So.. do you guys have any diseases?" - Girl
"No... and we plan on keeping it that way." - Me
Right... In addition to the bar closing soon, I thought it would be a good idea to head back at this point.
On our travels we ran into some English Blokes who were just as, perhaps even moreso, smashed as we were. We walked around Leceister Square making fun of people, having deep philosophical conversation, chattin about how one their mom's is a m.i.l.f. and that she would love to put us up for a night (wink-wink, cough-cough, say no more), and repeatedly singing the theme song to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. After (you guessed it) a few ham & cheese sandwhiches, a slice of disgusting pizza, and a slice of even more disgusting hawaiian pizza, we headed back to The Crofton.
