//edinburgh: gaelic for hypothermia.

so, it's literally freezing here, and katrin stole my jacket so it's even worse. kelly and i went skating on an outdoor rink and realized that rental skates suck. Yeah, we're blaming it on the skates.

we're in edinburgh right now, and i'm so cold and wet that it's not even funny. we're heading to spain on thursday, but that's not looking too promising either at the moment. it's only about 5* warmer, but at this point, any heat is enough. but, just after we thaw out, we're heading back to continental europe (aka paris) where we're expecting snow and frozen off appendages. yay!

wow, can't even think straight. my feet are sooooo cold. i'm currently ignoring the fact that it's christmas. it's really not a big thing here (no decorations or anythign like that around really) so it's not hard to pretend that it's still november. i'm psyched about new years. it'll be a gongshow. champagne, baguettes and brie. that's all i'm consuming for three days. no exceptions.

we went to loch ness yesterday on a day trip. it was amazing. but that trip has also confermed in my mind that nessie is real. that is one big ass lake. you couldn't find her if you wanted. we went as north as inverness (inver = gaelic for mouth of the river... so, inverness = mouth of the river ness! oh the things you learn). i didn't actually see her, not for lack of trying, but she's totally in there. we also saw the ruins of the castle Quahart. it was amazing. i love this country. edinburgh is absolutly amazing. and it has a little winter carnival on right now so we all went on a bunch of rides and had a really good time. but i have all of 45 seconds left before my computer shuts down on me, so...

love to all my victorianites back home. merry christmas and have a wicked new year.
family: i love you and think of me when you're opening the prezzies.
