american lemon

it would appear that all of a sudden, as of this morning sophie and i are running the junior debating club... strange that i have no problem standing up in front of hundreds of people in competitions ranting on about the same tired, repeated topics (euthanasia, capital punishment) or drumming into innocent year sevens minds that they should pick junior debating above all other clubs on a monday lunchtime and yet simultaneously, often find myself in the position of an awkward lemon...

i'm going away for the five days before christmas to new york, it will be something ridiculous like my eleventh time there and it will be bloody freezing but i am so looking forward to it. one time i went in february and it reached -20. that was the trip i saw the foo fighters at madison square... on the walk back to the hotel the empire state was lit up in red, white and blue, it was presidents day and an excellent night at that too. i love it in new york so much - the people, the places, the atmosphere, even the halal food station on the corner of 56th and 6.

speaking of food, i think i'll go and get some more icecream.


fact #3
simultaneously and specifically are two of my favourite words.
