I should have thrown in more jargon from the UK, but I didn’t think of that while I was preparing this video blog. I haven’t done a video blog in forever, and I just realized that! So, here I am - (almost) live and in person!
It’s been three weeks here in London, so I’m emotional, sappy, lonely, mushy - all of that. I’m playing the iTunes Party Shuffle, and this song came on. The most important part of Janet’s song is in bold. I love this song, and it’s weighing heavily on my mind right now…
I heard from a friend today
And she said you were in town
Suddenly the memories came back to me in my mind
how can I be strong I’ve asked myself
time and time I’ve said
that I’m never falling in love with you again
a wounded heart you gave
my sould you took away
good intentions you had many
I know you did
I’ve come from a place that hurts
And God knows how I’ve cried
and I never want to return
never fall… again
Making love to you
felt so good and… oohhh so right
how can I be strong I’ve asked myself
time and time I’ve said
that I’m never falling in love with you again
so here we are alone again
didn’t think it come to this
and to know it all began with just a little kiss
I’ve come to close to happiness to have it swept away
don’t think I can take the pain
never fall again
Kind of late in the game
and my heart is in your hands
don’t you stand there and then tell me you love
me then leave again
’cause I’m fallin’ in love with… you again
Hold me….
Hold me….
don’t ever let me go
say it just one time….
say you love me…
God knows I do
Love you
Again
I love listening to all the people talk over here. Although everyone speaks English here in London, there are some funny slang terms that they use over here that sometimes takes me a minute or two to figure out - or that force me to have to ask what that means. For instance:
I was never hungry while I was here, I was peck ‘ed. (I may have spelled this one wrong - I just know it wasn’t hungry…)
I never went the restroom, I went to the toilet or the WC.
I never used the subway, I used the tube or the underground.
I never had to ‘watch the gap’ between the tube and the platform, I had to ‘mind the gap.’ (It almost sounds dirty, doesn’t it?
Nothing over here is large, it’s massive! (It sounds funnier when one of the guys is telling a story about something massive with his British accent. I laugh every time.)
I never had whipped cream on my Starbucks, it was just referred to as ‘cream on top.’
Fast food is never ‘to go,‘ it’s ‘to take away.‘
I’ll put some more up if I can remember them or take notice.
