Alright… anyone who knows me is well aware that someday,
mark my words, I’m moving to Europe, maybe lol. My obsession with the European culture is
just short of a diagnosable illness. It routinely causes disorder in my life,
causing me to engage in abrupt outbursts over things like genetically modified
organisms and narrow-minded people who’ve never left their hometown, let alone
the country. Don’t get me wrong, America is all fine and good for some things
and I can appreciate the patriotism, but my soul
has been in Europe my entire life.
So I started thinking… if I were to up and transplant myself
into European society right now, today, what would I be missing? Ummm… smaller
furniture, an accent, shit— friends, mates, pals, chums! Admittedly, I know
a few people in the EU scattered about from one country to the next, but not
many, and none personally. Okay, maybe that’s not so true either. I know a few
quite personally, due to regularly blasting our very private lives in our super-secret
support groups and chat rooms online. That being said, I’ve still never met them
in person, and wouldn’t recognize any of them if they were walking past me on
the street.
Point blank-I have a strong interest in other cultures, specifically
European. Thus, I’m tackling a few websites today, scouring them for the
potentially perfect long-distance chums for me. I need something new in my
life. Being a busy working mother heading back to school, I haven’t much free
time to go on grandiose adventures, so I look for them in flexible forms. I
think getting to know someone new, who is alike to, but also different from me,
might be just what I need. Wish me luck!
