Hi everyone!
It is so cool in Central London right now - they're starting to decorate for Christmas (I guess that since they don't have Thanksgiving here, they don't need to worry about decorating for any holidays in between Halloween and Christmas). They've strung lights up all over Central London, and decorated them in all sorts of ways. I wish I had my camera today so I could have gotten some pictures, but I'll definitely go back and get some another time. Anyway, on Oxford Street (in Oxford Circus, which is a pretty major area), they have lights and these big metal things that they've attached some of the characters of Ice Age (the movie) to. It looks really cool - it's done in blues and purples and it's just amazing! And the window decorations at Harrod's are being changed over to Christmas, which is awesome. It reminds me of this man's house we used to go see every year when I was little. His name was Mr. Johnson (I think) and he decorated his yard with moving figures and statues and all sorts of awesome things - tons of people would come and look at it. It was a very nice feeling to see those things today and be reminded of his house - very nostalgic. Mom/Dad, if you guys read this, can you tell me if his name really was Mr. Johnson? I can't remember for sure!
Ok, now on to the reason I called this entry what I did. 
Here's what happened - I'm supposed to go out with this guy I met named Nathan tomorrow night to a place called Canary Wharf. He's lived in London all his life, so should be familar with the area, right? Anyway, we were talking, and he KNEW I lived in London, and guess what he asked me? WHAT CITY I LIVED IN!!!!! It was all I could do not to burst out laughing - but I managed to keep semi-calm and told him that I lived in London, and he said, "Yep, but what CITY?" I promise you, this truly did happen! Turns out that he wanted to know what borough I live in (I didn't even know London was divided into boroughs) - apparently I live in Tower Hamlets borough, in the city of London. That's right - the CITY OF LONDON! Because LONDON IS A CITY! I wonder if he's ever met the FedEx lady that asked me what city I wanted to mail the package to? Oh, and rest assured - if you write London on the package, it will get here - you don't need to put Tower Hamlets on at all (just the postcode, the address, the city, and the country). Haha - what a chuckle that turned out to be!
