people try to put us down

it's hard to describe being in london, living in london. the few words that are somewhat able to grasp the core of it, and describe the extent of feelings felt every day, are all cliché and i don't want london to be a cliché, and i don't want my life to be a cliché. what i can do to avoid these cliché traps is to simply describe what it is that makes life here so different, so much more and first and foremost so much better. i can describe actions, sights and events, even a few indiscretion and mistakes, and hopefully someone will understand the indescribable feeling of finally being exactly where you want to be. i love taking the tube and knowing every single station on the jubilee line, i love walking around in camden lock a sunny day, i love walking down brick lane a rainy day, i love buying k cider at the shop down on the corner, i love the feeling of never being fully rested, the constant tiredness has a deeper meaning now, i love listening to 'get me away from here i'm dying' on southwark underground station, i love meeting mik whitnall on a night out in camden, high out of his mind and giving us a 'hi' that we hardly bother to return, i love considering to pole dance to get a beer for free, i love to eat nearly nothing, come to work and have a huge portion of pub grub, i love going out night after night without ever worrying about tomorrow, i love to rush around camden looking for a black shirt, i love riding the N31 home, i love feeling the need to always look somewhat stylish just in case you run into someone extraordinary beautiful, i love looking at the time at work, counting down the hours and minutes and seconds befor clocking out, i love to discussing the who and stones with strangers, i love that swedish words get more and more uk inspired every day, i love complaining about the tourist pace on the tube stations, i love when customers think i'm one of the rare english girls but then commenting on my blonde hair when they realize i'm swedish, i love feeling that i'm right where i should be, i love the late nights and early mornings of mist and rain in the air, i love that everyday you know you're missing something awesome because it's just not possible to make it to everything, i even have a sort of hate - love relationship to the ice cold showers.
