12 of 12 : October 2008

[jenepel]

As per the usual, I completely forgot about 12 of 12. I've been meaning to start doing it, and every time I seem to remember too late. Luckily, despite it being almost 8PM by the time I remembered, I already had some pics taken, since our house warming party wrapped up around 5:30AM. (Success!!) Also, that night I went out with Elizabeth (outforawalk) and friends (visiters to London) so I actually still had some things to take photos of. Thus, my first actual 12 of 12, albeit with a large middle of the day gap. (Although honestly, I slept until about 1, so that's a bunch of time right there!)

So um, rules - you post 12 pics of your day, and then link back to Chad, who started it all!

1) ALL PHOTOS MUST BE TAKEN ON THE 12TH OF EACH MONTH.

2) After you post your pictures onto a webpage of your choice (Livejournal, typepad, MySpace, Flickr, etc...) please post the TIME, LOCATION, and A SMALL COMMENT on the pic.

2:10 AM - Our Awesome new house, N2
Karaoke on the big screen! I'm part of an online karaoke club (shut up) so that's what we were using. This is our new TV (well, Seb's new TV) that he has hooked up to the laptop. (When I told my mom this she just said "of course".)

My fabulous new housemates - Rach (basilm) and Seb (iamseb) (tipsy or full out drunk? you decide) The hat was brought out because Seb was doing Frank Sinatra; and then Rach stole it, as she is wont to do.

Karaoke star Rachel! I adore this picture. There are no lyrics because this is a dance break. And she is (of course) dancing.

[Skip forward in time about 18.5 hours! During which I karaoke more, sleep in, clean up party stuff, go shopping in central London, then get back on the tube. None of which there are pictures of!]


9:01 PM - A pub I can't remember the name of, SW1
Beer!

The new JQ book! Rach and I have been searching for this all week. It's on the freaking NYT bestseller list, and yet not a single London bookstore seemed to have it. Very annoying. Especially since I then had to read it that night so that Rach could take it on the plane the next day.

Katie and Ginger (friends of Elizabeth)

Elizabeth (outforawalk) and I. Yay for meeting GGMM/DF people in real life! More of you should come visit London because it's awesome! (Oh yeah, and so am I, obviously.) You can also see my new short haircut in this picture.

Kitten food! We're getting ready for the kitten that we are in the process of adopting. YAY!

This is the new oven that was delivered on Monday. It's so shiny and new it seems a shame to use it. Also, I keep thinking of how when we move out we're gonna have to make it look like new. Because I am a dork like that.

Putting the recycling out - full from the party of course.

My other purchases from the day: goggles and a swim cap so I can now swim in the pool of the gym Rach and I joined last week. (Did I not tell you guys that? I think I forgot. I swam laps, but I realised almost immediately that if i was going to do it regularly I would need these. So voila!)

Not the most illustrious start, but at least I managed to do it, which is more than I can say for the past few months! Here's hoping next time I remember in the AM...

Bonus points to whoever can identify the two karaoke songs that you can see from the lyrics!
