Day 9

Lesson 30: Always take adventures with the Fabes

When all else fails and I'm dying of boredom, the Fabes is always down to find something to do. First there was the shopping adventure through Oxford Street (where I got a FABULOUS Free People shirt for 10 pounds: see FB profile pic for details). Then there was the adventure to meet some new friends we made the night before at a student pub about 20 min away. Well when we got to this student pub (Imperial Union??) it turned out our new friend was hanging out with his Rugby friends. It was like all of the Ralph Lauren/Vineyard Vines/J Crew ads ever created came to life. And it was fucking awesome.

Lesson 31: Hangers are not locks

Every now and then, roommates will bring people back to the apartment for some G-rated fun after going out at night. Most 20-somethings usually bring home boys for a little PG13+ fun after the pubs, but no no, not us. Our post-games include endless episodes of Family Guy and South Park...duhhh. So far these people have mainly been the boys that live above us (who also go to Maryland) and occasionally some new friends. Needless to say by the time we all get back to the flat, most people are pretty drunk. So when it came time for me and Gabby to call it a night, we went back to our room and closed our doors (we have those double french style doors). To avoid being bothered by drunkards walking into our room in the middle of the night, we decided to put a plastic hanger over the two doorknobs in an attempt to lock the doors. 15 minutes later when Gabby and I were well into our respective episodes of Glee on our computers, one of our roommates comes barging in. The hanger goes FLYING across the room, and Gabby and I just look at each other. Fail.
