Hello!

My, it has been a long time since I have updated properly. I've been whizzing around the world living out of a suitcase. Now I can't stand to wear the clothes that I have been for the past two months.

Snowy, what news from the Mark?

Well. This year has been a tough one. I'm sad to say that Julian and I are no longer together *pulls sad face*, although we have remained besterest friends. Most of the time I'm okay but he's away at the moment and it's horrible to be apart from him. And to prove all you who are you sceptical, here is the proof - we went to the United States together (with two other best friends of mine) after it happened. So don't worry SGUKers, I'm sure you shall be seeing him soon!

Our route! 2,632 miles - 50 hours of driving, all done by Julian.



WARNING! So many photographs. But each with a caption to tell you what it is smile

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Pancakes at 6:30am bought up to our hotel room at the New York New York hotel (an extravagence!)


The view out of our window:


Dancing at a crappy nightclub with too many sleazy men:


Me and Kimberley at some unearthly hour:


Julian looking adorable:


Look! You can win at slot machines:


The Black Stallion:




Duel!!


Grand Canyon biggrin




Average American cars, huh...


On the Road




100*F at least. 1 1/2 mile walk without water. Baaaad idea. But wonderful views!!


I found Gordon Freeman somewhere in northeastern Arizona!


Monument Valley!



The joys of internet in Monument Valley



and the joys of a rock that looks like a Mexican Hat


Don't you want to stay here?


Furry friends! Oh my!


We met up with Mark (far right) in San Diego. Huzzah!


and we took a day trip to MEXICO!




I liked Mexico. We had a bit of trouble getting back in the US though as none of us had a green visa-waiver form. A little bit of panic but got it sorted in the end smile

Julian in a town called Julian!



My homage to Hunter S Thompson:





Big Sur:





Baseball game!



San Francisco:




No Alcatraz tours for us frown


In Yosemite. A BEAR! A BEAR! JESUS CHRIST A BEAR!!!


The cables up the side of Half Dome. Who the fudge thought that'd be a good idea was absolutely insane, but I am terribly glad they did do it! It took me and Mark seven and a half hours to get the top, whereas it took my brother 3 hours. Bastardo.



I regretted jumping as soon as this photograph had been taken. I wanted to die. One three sides of me there was a sheer drop of 2000ft. What was I thinking...




Mono Lake! LIMESTONE TUFA TOWERS!!! Geologist's dream biggrin



Main Street America:





Bodie Ghost Town (woo!)




Ghosts at Bodie? Spooky!


Our new ride:









The hottest I've ever been. It was like having a hairdryer in your face at full heat..!


Back to Vegas - this time at the Bellagio hotel. We got upgraded to the Lakeview Room *woo!*





I do have some more photographs to come, I have about 7 rolls of film in the fridge waiting until I have enough money to have them printed smile

Gozo
1st - 8th August

I spent a week in Gozo with my parents, brother and his girlfriend who is as of today I am excited to saw his fianc! It was very nice and I spent most of the time just lazing around re-reading Stieg Larsson's Millenium trilogy (which I recommend to EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD!) I have lots of photos but I can't be bothered right now to upload them. I'll post a link to my Facebook or Flickr and you can have a look there.

The Faroe Islands - or Froyar as I prefer

WOW! What a beautiful place. It's very much like Iceland but not as volcanic. We stayed in the tiny town of Hellur which has a population of only 29 (though I saw 3 people) and UEFA have installed a wonderful little astroturf football pitch there for all to use. In fact, there was a UEFA football pitch in every settlement! Fantastic biggrin

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Early morning walk to the top of our local mountain. That's my brother James, by the way.



Our view. We played a lot of cricket and my brother got 582 runs. Mind you, you could only score 4s and 6s and he was playing with just me for a while. I bowled him for a duck later on wink


Beautiful scenery:









I'm a shaaaark! I'm a shaaaaaaaark!



Sorry lots of photos are of crap quality. I've copied them all from my Facebook so they're a bit crap. But! I shall let you know when I've got round to putting them on Flickr smile

This past Bank Holiday weekend I have been hiding in Essex doing up my Secret Hideaway Hut. My dad bought me a much needed stepladder and helped me build some steps and repair some rotting wood. I plan to have a Grand Opening next August to celebrate it! biggrin

This is me when I first started:



and now Kimberley standing in the same place:







Here is the step that I built smile My first go at DIY. I'm going to cover it in soil and then grow grass on it so it doesn't look so stupid smile



----

The last thing I want to do more of is GO OUT! I love dancing. I'm absolutely crap at it and look like a middle aged dad wiggling his hips but woo, is it fun! My birthday's coming up in a few weeks so I'll do something special then smile

Until next time,

Snowy

biggrin

P.s. This is what I look like now. I like the dark hair and ultra-pale skin. And yes, I had two bottles of apple alcopop mcdops. Classy wink
