Damn, no control over font, colour or size. Even the paragraph separations don't seem to show! Crappy computer!!!
Good old Edinburgh, how I missed it. I haven't written in the last couple of weeks because I fell right back into old habits and found all my time being filled with my old Scottish pasttimes. Namely, visiting the pubs and watching crap telly. What a great way to spend two weeks!
It was strange when I arrived, because even though it had been over two years, it felt like no time had passed, it was just as I'd left it. I met up with a few friends that night and it was just like old times. So great to see them! Met at a pub (one I'd been to many times before) and had our usual bottle(s) of wine. Carried on til the wee hours and woke up the next morning feeling heavy and useless: a very familiar feeling.
I finally managed to drag my sorry butt off the couch and into the shower, and then headed into town to meet up with my two Swedish friends. They'd been my flatmates for a good while but had moved back to Sweden a couple of years ago as well. It's always fun to tell people that I used to share a room with two blonde Swedish girls who would sleep naked in the bed next to me. Haha! Anyway, they were flying in for the weekend just to see me! At least that's what I tell myself. How wonderful is that!! The weekend was filled with drinking, eating, dancing and catching up. I felt so happy, like being home.
Things quieted down for a bit once the girls headed back to Sweden. I moved in with another old flatmate of mine and we spent the next few days lazing on the couch drinking beer and watching her DVDs. Again, just like old times. Another friend had me over for a nice homecooked meal, I felt so special! On my last night we went to the pub quiz that I used to go to every week. We never once won it, but we were still there every Wednesday without fail. It was the same guy running the quiz and he remembered me, which was nice. Well, I couldn't have asked for a better last night because, after two years of trying, we finally WON the quiz. Yahoo!!! We all cheered and congratulated ourselves for being geniuses and collected our free drinks. It was perfect.
So, in my two weeks I didn't do a single touristy thing. There was, however, plenty of bottles of wine, dancing, cheesy clubs, hours of dvd watching, a few fish and chips, lots of laughs, and the occasional hangover. All in all, exactly what I'd hoped for in my visit.

wow, sounds perfect! I can\'t believe all the places you\'ve been. I thought I was all worldly and shit \'cause I\'ve moved around so much ;)How soon before you\'re home? Take care!
I had a lot of fun the last time I was in Edinburgh. However, ever since I read Trainspotting, I\'ll never look at the city the same way again.
hope things aren\'t too boring for you now that your back in exciting winnipeg. It was great seeing you again and hope to continue to read all your updates. (I should imagine they won\'t be quite as exciting though)
All this travelling you\'re doing.. I\'m green.. glad you\'re having fun though!
