Wikipedia is great...

I love Wikipedia. I've only started using it lots since I've back at uni. Its great in many ways, firstly the concept - a free encyclopedia, made for the world by the world, a place where we can bring all the knowledge of the world together in one place. Anyone can create or edit an article, hopefully resulting in accurate and unbiased information.

Secondly, you can find articles on almost anything. It can get silly. I mean, theres useful information for my course, then there's trivia like 'who made cameo appearances in the 7th episode of the second season of that tv show'. The other day I even discovered who the song 'My Sharona' is based on, and what she's doing now.

I'm down in London for a week, and things are off to a good start :) Soon after I arrived in the city I called my mate Drew and we went for a drink in Camden town. My sister Kat and our mate Evlin were also there and we all went to 80's night at the Underworld - or '60's to 90's night' as it is now known. We had a great time! I hadn't been out like that for so long. We got pissed, danced to the likes of MC Hammer, got chatted up by pretty girls, ate hotdogs from dodgy hotdog stands... great stuff. Best of all, Drew was there, being his usual charismatic self.

London's alright sometimes.
