The Spoonykipper Story

I'm back! Now where to begin...Well instead of being in the US for a month I was almost there for three! I had such a great time and everyone loved me out there that I didn't want to go and they didn't want me to leave.

While out there I did karaoke most Thursdays at Hayley's bar, went to a shooting range, had fun at a state fair (twice!), went to Universal Studios, ate gator, got a tattoo done, stapled a five pound note to a wall of dollar bills at Paddy O'Toole's,
looked around Fort Jackson (army base) in South Carolina, saw The Molly Ringwalds which was a great 80's cover band and also got to go back stage!, hungout at a cafe called Carpe Diem alot (that's from Dead Poets Society), went to a wedding and ending up being a bartender for awhile, went to a Tim Burton themed birthday party dressed as an English guy (I could pull that off), dressed up as the Joker for Halloween, looked after a very injured cat (thought he might die at one point), cooked! And people loved it!, bowled a turkey (for the first time), went to a preview screening of Scott Pilgrim Vs The World! Great film and then went to see it two/three times more, ate Sushi for the first time and loved it (also ate other strange things for the first time), went to a cinema some Friday nights that showed really old classic horror films (like Frankenstein, Evil Dead 2, Halloween), had my palm read and also a reading done with Tarot cards, saw a one percenter biker gang, looked around New Orleans French Quarter, listened to music/bands I've never heard before (some are now on my ipod), treated Susan and Wes to Ruth's Chris Steak House as a thank you (they had great food and had the best calamari I've ever eaten), walked around a mall and saw lots of shops we don't have here (I wanted to be a mallrat), went in a Hot Tub for the first time, exposed Americans to sweetcorn on a pizza (for all the weird foods they had, they don't put sweetcorn on a pizza?!), I was able to go shopping at a supermarket at 3-4am (that was Wal-Mart), saw my first 3D film (yes I could of done that here).
I did get up to more but those are the highlights from my trip.

I'll go into things in more details another time.
