Happy Belated Christmas and New Year Wishes and Ramblings...

Happy belated Christmas and New Years wishes to all!

I spent my christmas cruising around the caribbean with family and while that sounds like an ideal way to spend Christmas, the lack of cold weather and being with family 24/7 was surprisingly difficult. I missed hanging out with my friends, I missed my dogs and my nan. I missed being at home in my own bed, I missed being able to be lazy and sleep in ...I really really did miss my own bed. The bed on the cruise was rock hard, so hard that every time I moved on it I felt like my hip was slowly and painfully being grated away.

I'm off to work at Disney in less than two weeks which means 6 months of pure American-ness! I unlike the majority of europeans (I hate being classed as European, I'm British, we're higher class, we used to rule the world for christ's sake ;) ) love all things american, I really do. Give me a husband with an american accent and I'm set for life. After my disney stint I'll be state hoping for 3 weeks before being forced to return to the *cough* lovely *cough* UK.

So to those who randomly read this journal and are american; suggestions of fun things to do while I'm on your side of the pond would be greatly appreciated. I'm already hitting the Britney concert in Tampa, FL in march. Woot!! "It's Britney, Bitch!"

During the last two days of my cruise I got into Bones...I've watched s2 and s3 and am making my way through s4! The David Boreanaz love is back!

Hopefully it'll be an interesting and worthwhile experience. It's just a way for me to kill some more time before I have to ultimately decide what to do with my life...a daunting question but one that by the end of the six/seven months should be answered.

Haha, I could go there. I could also go to Washington and try to stalk the cast of Twilight.

You are prob the first brit that I've heard of that loves America, but it's cool! It's cool to be getting some love.

and you know what's weird -- I always get thrown off a little when people say "american accent." For a long time I wasn't aware we HAD any kind of accent! That's american thinking for you.

Working in disney? What do you mean? Will you be going to disney world or disney land (in california)? Because being a californian myself (i live in sd, which is about 2 hours away from disneyland) I could have a few suggestions, such as. . . HIT UP THE BEACH!

I know - it's a strange concept for someone who isn't a US citizen to like America. I used to tell colleagues, friends and basically anyone who would listen that my ideal life would be in America - something the majority of them couldn't fathom. Some have never even been and were casting unfair judgements - the whole culture and society is just so different. Almost upbeat and friendly compared to the Brit mentality.

I'll be working at Disney World in Orlando, however after the six months, I'll hopefully be heading west. I visited California last year with family and friends and didn't really get to explore - but then with the aging 'rents complaining because they can't walk too far, that's understandable.

But my question now is...which beach would you recommend?

I've always wondered what it is that Brits think about Americans. I mean, I know they think we're scum, but I'm really curious on how our "differences" are seen as on your side of the pond.

Well, I don't know how far you're willing to go, but Coronado is a very sweet and charming little city and they've got nice, clean beaches. But that's nearer over to San Diego than anywhere else. But if you do go, the houses and the neighborhoods -- you'll die out of its cuteness and extravagance. Coronado is def a rich part of Southern California.

and I know what you mean about parents who hate walking. I went to Disneyland over Christmas here in California and my parents headed home early, too.
