About a month ago, I wrote two blogs about my first 4 weeks of my summer in Chicago with Wrighteous86, which you can find here and here . It was a very full vacation, so I've put the last 2 weeks in this blog to finish it out. Sorry it took so long, but I just started back up in college, so it's taken me a while to find the time! Training Beluga Whales I'm going to college at the moment to hope...
Deep Dish Pizza Edition A couple weeks ago I wrote about the first 2 weeks of my summer in Chicago with Wrighteous86, which you can find here . We did so much over the 6 weeks that I thought it was best that I section things off a bit. So here is weeks 3 and 4. The "British Pub" Wrighteous had found a pub called “Elephant and Castle” downtown that we planned on visiting, so that I could see how...
Some of you may remember my blog earlier in the year, when fellow GB user Wrighteous86 came to visit me in the UK . Well this summer was our 1 year anniversary and I was lucky enough to spend 6 whole weeks with him in sweltering Chicago, because of this I haven't posted at all in the forums in the last couple months. We have Giant Bomb to thank for our relationship, so I’d like to share our con...
Carrying on from Part 1, which you can find here. London. We drove down to London, left my car and our extra luggage at my brothers and took the tube into the center, where our hotel was. My friend bought me an app for the tube as a gift, which was a god send. We would have never been able to navigate the underground by ourselves without it. Our hotel was 4 stars, looked fancy and was right nex...
A tale that started on Giant Bomb nearly 1 year ago that turned into the best 2 week vacation of our lives. A vacation of discovering British food, prehistoric monuments, scary Indian restaurants, lots of tourist attractions and of course, plenty of rain and snow. Where it all started. I've been coming to Giant Bomb for over a year now. I started as a lingerer, just watching quick looks and rev...
So it's my birthday today. Happy Birthday to me! It's been a pretty dull one so far, slept for most of the day and did some painting around the house. Just waiting for my boyfriend to get home. I miss how exciting birthdays used to be, bags of presents and having all my friends round my house to have fun. I've never had big family celebrations as only my mum and brother live anywhere near me, a...
So after an evening shift at work just over 2 weeks ago, I had a very small bump with another guy finishing work from the store next door. As I was pulling out, I'm sure I looked left and right, it's so natural you don't even think about it and the next thing I knew I saw a blur of blue and heard a thud. We both pulled over and got out. He said that it was alright because there wasn't even any...
