So SO sorry for my posts. But TP don't do it!!!!! Just ask Burt Face Jake. I mean he hated me for 5 years because I spoke the truth, but baby--- fuck the guy, live with the guy, have the guys babies-- but don't walk down the isle with the guy.
Americans and their fucking need to get married. It's the fucking government and their thought control and -- hey hey this is true-- they give tax breaks. Why would you, as a young person do the most conformist shit the government wants you to do.
It's enough to piss me off so much I just might show up and fuck around with both of you.
But then I wouldn't do that because I found myself in a weird place around 5 am and there was this movie on called Cruel Intentions 3. I never knew there was a 2ns one so I jus did another line.

but if I dont' I can't easily live with him... because the UK doesn't like little american girls who just want to live there and fuck their bf and go to class... well, not when they haven't got a bank account to back that up...
and America doesn't appreciate lovely uncircumsized British men coming to be with American girlies either.
School there would be much cheaper if I were a UK citizen... ohhh yes and I'd be much, much happier..... because he has a job... a real one unlike me who sells art on ebay, teaches babies ballet, and models whenever possible.

IM = instant message... you don't have any instant messengers like (MSN that's free) or aol im that's...umm... rubbish and fucks with computers all to hell?
and I dunno about texting... I can't work my cellphone; I just pick it up and say hello. I never phone people cause I'm too shy. I assume if someone's not calling me they don't want to talk to me and I'd be interupting them.
I know - I'm fucked up.

I had a jazz band at my wedding. It was OK. My sister in law had the same church,reception and guests (more or less) and she had a motown band and it fucking rocked. Who doesn't want to get up and boogie to motown?
I'm not sure what kind of advice to give you about marrying across the Atlantic. I used to visit my girlfriend in the US so much that immigration took to hassling me at the airport. So it became a question of piss or get off the pot. I got married here in Cincinnati and after a brief honeymoon in New Orleans was back in England at college on my own for a couple of months. I did the flying to and fro thing for about another nine months before I emigrated. When I was down at the US embassy in London getting my green card I was talking to various Brits doing the same. I recall talking to one guy who had a fiance (or is it fiancee) visa. If I remember rightly, this gave him permission to live in the US for a year. I thought this was an excellent way of doing it. Live somewhere or with someone for a year before you make up your mind. Things might be different now (I'm talking about 1992) it might be worth finding out if the UK does something similar.
You might be a little shocked about English higher education and the costs that you might face. I know that even though I am a loyal subject of her Britannic Majesty(remember you will be a subject not a citizen) if I enrolled at a British University I would have to pay overseas rates. To get domestic rates, I would have to pay tax there for about 2 years (I think) I can get details if you really want them (I think I have mentioned my sister deals with this sort of thing for a living.)
Lastly, why do you want to get out of the US? One of the charms of this place is that you can up sticks and find the bit of it that agrees with you most. You can index this place by climate and culture in so many ways. I find it impossible to tire of America. England on the other hand...........Promise me you are not going to live in Coventry.

mmm... weeell luckily for me my current school just started a study aboard program with the college of london or something like that (about ten to twenty years ago they really started pushing for more aboard options leaving students of today with lots of choices, I'd ideall like to do at least two of them) but I could ideally move there, be a student of SLU, pay SLU, and do their study abroad until stuff has been.
Of course, if I do that I'll have to live in London; and I know Dave won't be happy about it but eh. He wants to live in Coventry... buuuut I almost convinced him to buy a pretty little cottage in Cornwall. lol For him it depends on work though. Last time I checked, finace (and I dunno either; there's an accent) visas for entry to the UK was only valid six months.
As for living in the US... I hate it. Annnd he likes England. I like England... he is really close to his family and doesn't want to be that far away; I on the other hand am better off the further away from my family as I get.

Lie to me, it takes less time to drink you pretty.
Well here I was about to relay this story about how I was at the US Embassy in London in '91 (I'd somehow managed to lose my passport and they found it so I had to pick it up there) and there was a couple consisting of a woman from the U.S. marrying a guy from England and I seethed with jealousy. Wow, Tommy you were there only a year after I was! I remember I was sitting on the steps of the embassy reading an NME with David Gedge from Wedding Present on the cover. Anyway...so I was going to urge Pixie to go ahead and marry. Get the hell out of dodge, as they say.
Then I read Tommy's quote:
Lastly, why do you want to get out of the US?
And I laughed myself silly.
Truth be told, though, I know the music scene isn't anywhere near what it used to be like over there, so there isn't quite the same incentive, but with the way things are in this country today...I'd just like to wake up in the morning and be in a country I'm not so ashamed of. Where there's a social safety net of some kind. Where there are no idiot rednecks with big gigantic Bush posters on their houses. Where we're not the most hated country in the entire world. Where terrorists want to kill us most of all, etc. etc. Plenty of reasons to get the hell out of here these days, I'd say.
