i guess it's necessary for me to post about when i've been places. i went back to oxford and london a few days ago. i'm aware i haven't even posted my blog from the paul premiere (still in my drafts, i'll get round to it someday) so i'll just keep this one short.

stupid 9 hour coach to oxford with a million stops to pick up more passengers, yet no proper service stop. there was 1, but there were no shops near, and i was so bloody starving.
when i got to oxford i had a pint with leyla, i forgot the name of the places we went, but i felt so stupid with my luggage ~briefcase wanker~
then i had australian meatballs at leylas and we stayed up too long. i think we had 3 hours sleep. but really, that sleep was not taken for granted, i was so tired.

we spent all day in london. i bought synecdoche, new york and away we go on dvd, and got a free south park dvd with that. a cute comic book called optic nerve, the first book in the love and rocket series, and some short graphic novel called janes in love, some postcards for people and sweeties for my family and liv. i also bought a rose petal macaroon from laudree and omg it was so nice. i bragged all day about my rose breath!

later on in the day we hung out by the BFI southbank, stalking seth rogen. eventually we got to meet him, kind of. he was in a hurry. i was so nervous that i lost control of my voice, and when he came out of his car i said something to leyla like "oh my god it's really him" and i sounded so stupid, jeez!
i never got my ticket signed, and i didn't get a photo with him, or at least a proper one. i was so annoyed, cause it was all down to me being nice to the guy in front, which i shouldn't have being nice has never got me anywhere in life. sure, it's probably a good thing, but i'd probably end up in less situations like that.

when we got inside, we went to the loo's. i just stared at myself in the mirror, knees like jelly, bloodshot eyes, thinking how stupid i am, til there was an announcement to go in i was like "LEYLA WE NEED TO GO" and she said "I'M HURRYING" (turns out she was talking to herself omg)
the place had loads of spare seats, i don't even know why. apparently the row behind us was empty apart from one guy. we weren't waiting for long til edith bowman came out, followed by seth and will. i was on the edge of my seat (excited/didn't want fat face for the youtube video omg)
when they all came on stage, that's when i realised how close we were. arghh. i was sitting staring at seth awkwardly most of the time, i felt like i was kevin spacey in this scene of american beauty
except the only thing close to seth undressing was him unbuttoning his jacket, ha.

when it came to the audience asking questions, i knew edith was going to be a stingy bitch. but i eventually got around to it. i thought the microphone wasn't working and i don't remember how many times exactly is said "hi" til edith was like "where are you?" and seth pointed at me and said "she's right there" WHICH WAS MY FAVOURITE MOMENT OF THE DAY.
i asked my question (without messing up), and seth asked me who it was for and i reply in my most geordie accent "BOTH OF YIZ"
ugh stupid emma.
i tried to meet seth again after the event, but he was in a hurry. i walked along side him to his car, which is really ridiculous cause i never realised that. and apparently i blocked the way for will to get to his car, and i never saw (i was standing staring at seth in the car omg why)
i didn't really care that i never got to speak to him again, i was just so happy anyway.

the rest of the time i spent in oxford.
we saw johnny english reborn, went around town, my favourite shop being a £2 book shop. i got a dream book and a riot grrrl book that i'd spotted before. i saved about £30 in that shop!
later on we went for a drink with frankie, marc and marc before heading to atomic pizza.

the next day i had to be up 5.30am ready for my megabus at 8am :(
awww man, i hope i go back soon! next time i'm aware i'll be needed in london is dark shadows, and i know leyla wants us to come down for new year, so we'll see what happens. it would be stupid if i went for seth rogen again, cause i know it'll be ages til he comes back. got to wait which other cuties are about, innit.

i typed this thing up in 3 different sessions, so i hope it makes sense, i really can't be arsed to go over it. (flawless writer award goes to ME!!!)
