I was never an anglophile

[nfotxn]

I have a dirty confession to make.

I don't really like Scotland... or much of the UK to be honest. I mean there's great cultural value here, sure. And the landscape can be awfully breath taking.

But I've never really been captured by it. Some people are absolutely entranced with the "rugged beauty" or whatever.

I appreciate this place but it's not where my heart is.

Where do you see yourself living, eventually?

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

I quite like it in Toronto or Hamilton.

Come back home baby, you've seen another country and culture, learn a couple of things and also learned that this is the place you can really call home. Good ! Are you ready to live in Canada again?

[sassy-fae.livejournal.com]

Which means you'll be coming back; hurray for us!
You'll have to come back with the accent, though. Sex-ay!

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

I'm really no good at the accent. Honestly.

But I am coming back, 27th of February.

The snow will probably be completely gone by then! Hooray! You missed a doozie. doozy? (sp) something like that :)

It's the PBS factor.

Be careful or you'll wind up in Marakesh without proper Anglophile plumbing to save your delicates.

There is no romance in wiping your ass with a goat in a Third World stopover for sally struthers. ;-)

Oops. I missed. That was meant for Brodie.

What are you talking about?

[vianegativa.livejournal.com]

Anglophile romance is good in that it generally endorses locales with suitable toilets and running water. That's what I'm babbling about.

I should have figured you were getting all Jane Austen on me.

That made me snerk coffee.

Shouldn't that be a caledoniphile? Carefully or some big ole Glaswegian dyke's gonna kick your colonized arse . . .

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

Whatev', it's all Southerners up here these days anyhow.

[brianrdu.livejournal.com]

You're not going to get to heaven, talking like that.

[aadroma.livejournal.com]

Well then coming back'll be that much better f'r ya' ^_-

one request though

[telemann.livejournal.com]

I just bet you are sexy in a kilt. Force someone to take a pic of ur legs in a kilt before you come back, o studly cubby!

*Gasp*

Well that's it... the Chicago arm of your return party is off!

To sum it all up

My personal opinion is...... you miss home! I can tell you even when i was in Greece (which was only for 3 weeks) I know all i wanted to do was sleep in my own bed, play video games on my tv/computer, as well as just be with the people ive been with for so many years. The people i've associated myself with.

You must definately have more courage and determination then i have because i would have gone insane by now.

Miss you *hugs*

Sounds to me like you're getting something out of this - a renewed appreciation your homeland.
