Empty Cage

Title is a Beatles song quote that has been stuck in my head all day.

Only a short entry today as I didn’t really do too much. I spent most of the day at the British Library, and you would not believe some of the books that I saw there, you would faint with amazement — I almost did.

Let’s see, I saw one of the original copies of the Magna Carta, the originally hand-written hand-drawn copy of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, a Bible from the Gutenberg press, along with a hundred other beautifully illuminated religious documents, a letter handwritten by Oscar Wilde, a satirical piece written by Jane Austen at 15, some original Beatles lyrics written on paper scraps and a couple hundred other pieces of amazing literary artifacts I can’t even remember them all. The library was massive and I had a heavy bag so I didn’t do too much wandering, but it’s just one more place I positively NEED to go back to.

I am now at the abode of Mr. Powers, having my own room is making me positively glow with glee, and my own bathroom. Overjoyed cannot begin to describe it really. Happiness, elation, I’m just typing in fragmented words today, probably because I’m so tired. Not tired for any reason mind you, just, tired. Tomorrow I will finally get to do laundry! How I miss clean clothing.

Picnic of leftover chicken wings in Regent’s Park first thing this morning, I felt a bit guilty as the joggers gave me the evil eye junk food temptation sitting on a random bench. Why the heck not? I couldn’t believe that I survived.

To the commenteers:

To Mom, as I said, it got cancelled due to lack of intrest. I was very disappointed I have to admit. I’ve decided my new compromise is I’ll work wherever and volenteer at a museum–the British museum is always looking for them apparently.

To Amber, DANKE! I’m so happy about the acceptance really! It means next year I’m going to be getting edumicated, and not work at Sie (ge)Staples, ja! I will be on AIM soon, I promise >.<

To Crystal, comment more lav, or I’ll set Sweeney on thee!

To Janet, I try to be of service, and thank you for all the congratulating, hopefully I really fufill the second congratulation. Osmosis flowering may be a steady bet, and yes, just being here and lugging stuff all over London is a fulltime job.

To Auntie Mo, thank you for commenting, reading comments feels like my pillar in many ways, I see that people love me even if I’m away on some crazy island.

And to Ange, wherever you are, try to comment again, ja?
