Wack-a-doodle-do

Hello friends. I will start where I left off. Church night. It went swell. Grace and I had all our work done three hours before our shift was over, so like most bosses would, she sent me out of some Indian take away for us to have in the back. We were having a lovely time eating dinner when I of course spilled butter chicken in my lap and it ended up going up my skirt. Grace laughed out right at me and then proceeded to call me chicken fanny for the rest of the night while I concentrated on removing the coriander stench from my pantie hose. **note- fanny in the UK doesn't mean the same thing as it does in North America- here it could be a replacement for the word vag. Anyways that was a lovely time and I'm sure that the church group really embraced my new nick name.

Ally is our new room mate and she is wonderful. She is just chillin in Scotland for a month or so and I quite like it because now on my days off I have someone to go around the city with and actually do the dorky tourist things that I've been meaning to do. Today we went to Ikea for 99p breakfast. Wonderful. We are going to do a little more exploring this afternoon and then watch a DVD that I got free in my Sunday paper- it looks like it could be the greatest film of all time based solely on the back synopsis of the film. Its called 'The Heathers' and the final line of the film description is 'are these girls headed for prom or hell'. I'll for sure let you all know how it is. Heather I think you'll be especially intrigued I'm sure.

Anywho, I ACTUALLY did go to Glasgow on Sunday. Turns out there is really nothing there, literally did nothing there, its not the old, the buildings aren't that interesting and it doesn't even have a castle in the middle of the city- I mean come on people, I thought this was Scotland. To be fair I did go on a Sunday, and technically I didn't really research anything to do while I was there, but I did get out of Edinburgh and its was an adventure none the less.

K I'm actually bouncing all around here but I keep thinking of new things that happened, in no particular order (and I just sneezed- one of the good hearty Rachel 6 sneezes in a row- and I just went right back to typing because I'm so excited to share with you all, so lucky whoever gets this computer after me!). Anyways on Saturday we went out to a pub to show Ally around a bit and we were approached by THE weirdest people in the country. So many creepos came up to us that we made note and actually wrote a list out the next morning- I will attempt to re cap now using the names we gave them followed on why they got those names:
1. "whats your name" an extremely intoxicated four eyes who proceeded to ask Britt her name while in a mid turning sequence that left him facing the opposite direction while waiting for her response
2. the place and swoop- I was standing by a wall with a shelf right by my shoulders and so a guy went to place his drink there and turned it into a one motion around the shoulder hug on my that I did not see coming
3. shoulder rub- a guy- i'd say between the age of 17 and 19- who approached us casual and began talking and then felt then need to either pat our heads or rub our arms whenever he felt necessary
4. bad breath friend- shoulder rub's friend with really bad breath
5. twirler- a stranger decided to pick me up and twirl me in the air until I punched him to let me down
6. & 7. Kelowna girls- not actually wierdo's per say- but two girls who I recognized from Kelowna who were in Edinburgh for one night that we just so happened to run into at the pub we were at- weird.
8. Senior Weather- a man -late forties- who approached Britt and said he didn't have good chat with the ladies so they should probably just talk about the weather. He them followed her around most of the evening
9. tooth brush- this fellow staggered up to us asked us how we were and then pulled a toothbrush out of his pocket, used it a couple times, and then asked if we cared to use it. Now if this was not weird enough he then try to encourages us further by saying that it was cool because his friends already used it. Oh wait there is more- when he pointed to said friends we looked over and they were two men dressed in cowboy sheriff costumes.
10. (my personal favorite) Joker- we actually met this weirdo first because I step through the door of the pub and he immediately came up to me and said "you look like a young Heath Ledger" I of course said gee thank you. He said "whats the problem he was a very handsome man in his day" Again I was dazzled by this and left him with a verbal assault that his friends quite enjoyed and capped it off with a comment about how he looked like the joker- which after running into him again he actually did.
