I don't hate walking
I hate the time it takes to walk to places though. No one understands me. I like walking, but if I'm going somewhere I want to be there as soon as possible. If it took five minutes to walk a mile or whatever, I'd walk everywhere. I know what I mean when I say that but I don't think anyone else does. I'm ridiculously impatient, infact as I'm typing I realise I jog to places half the time.

I dread to think how much I've spent on taxis since I've been up here.

I hate when taxi drivers say "You could walk that"
Well yes, I could, and on a day when I fancy a leisurely stroll, maybe I shall. Right now, however, I'm in a hurry and I cannot walk as fast as a taxi can drive. DRIVE!!

Had a great moment in a cab yesterday
Left a house party about ten yesterday morning to go back to mine, the cab driver asked why we were still out at that time to which I replied "we're nocturnal see". I think he would have been less animated if I got out a dead baby from under my coat and put it in his lap. "Alright man, ALRIGHT! We're not all brainiac students are we, in English would help pal". Managed to say "it means we come only come out at night" without laughing.

He pondered for a second, and then in the tone of voice one would use to discuss rocket science goes "Ah, so you're like owls". I honestly thought I was going to burst. I love Newcastle.
