Your life's not really "over here" is it, it's part "here" and mostly "back there". Until you live "here" and in the "now" it's doubtful you'll progress much in terms of integration. Meting up with whiny misfit Brits is hardly going to help much.

Lord Jesus, if there's one thing we should be after avoiding it's "integration". We're not like them and we should enjoy that.

Hello stranger, I have been PM with her so we will have to have a BBQ so she can meet the mad bunch.

I will need to PM me your new number, as I lost it, and you can let me know what your schedule is.
