A-Starry Night: (BOOM) »
I’m proud to say that I’ve FINALLY started the process of applying for my UK citizenship. I’ve been so lazy with everything but I’ve finally reached my breaking point. I’m so looking forward to getting my EU passport and being out of this ignorant shit-hole once I graduate. I’m not really sure why I bear so much resentment towards this country but I do know that it’s been building up for years and now I’ve snapped. God knows I resent my parents for randomly raising me here, why they couldn’t stay in Europe is beyond me. I can no longer just say “Oh well it’s America what do you expect?” Now - I’m gonna say a big Fuck You to the states with absolutely no remorse. Ya cultureless ignorant bastards! Or more simply, ya fucking LANGERS!
I spent my junior year of college in London. I went with similar feelings about the US, but then something happened. Some combination of:
a) Americans who wanted to renounce all of their past and act European
b) Europeans who disparaged everything about the US
c) having more in common with Americans than with any Europeans
d) bizarre cravings for—among other things—peanut butter and brownie mix
… got me to the point where, after 8 or so months, I actually missed the US. Even more surprisingly, I sort of loved the US, in spite of its many, many flaws.
