So I just got back from England, where I spent the Christmas-New Year's week with my mother and step-father. My sister and her boyfriend (or "partner" as I'm told it's called in England when it's a longer, serious relationship... still find that funny) came over too. In any case, I'm not gonna do a run-down of everything I did, just a highlight of some of the things that come with more interesting pictures. To start off with, here's me standing next to my step-father's Mini:

On Christmas Eve, we saw a bunch of people gathering on their horses in our village. They were going fox hunting, though not really... anywhos, we went on a walk through the countryside to a pub called the Hollow Bottom and had lunch there. Some pics:

Here's some pics of when I went to Warwick Castle. The first is of my sister and I, the second is me wooing a wax wench, and the third is me all sad and alone in the stocks.

I went to visit the Wrollright (sp?) stones at one point. We're looking very deep in thought, but mostly we're deciding what they look like to us. Half of them look like Wisconsin...

We also went into London on New Year's Eve. We stood between Big Ben and the London Eye during the countdown and fireworks. Quite the experience, what with the human sea and all :p

Eh, it has its advantages, but if nothing else, it's just too much maintainance for me. I still don't know what style of hair I'll be going for though. 'sides, shorter hair seems to be more popular with the ladies...

Thanks Mr. Stafford, but really, the only defending I want to hear are from women saying "your hair is hot!" Then I might start leaning towards later rather than sooner... :p

I got a haircut, but because my hair grows just right for me to look very feminine. Not quite what I was going for.

I am most definately not a sir, but Van Dort is right -- I am a freakish 6'6". It wouldn't be so bad if I was more proportional. Oh well.

I'm 6'2" and I feel monstrous. One of my friends is two inches taller than me, and he looks normal.

You should grow a beard, I think that's what makes my friend look more normal sized, somehow.
