I'm trying to become an architect if that counts for anything. Dunno about obsession, but it's the only thing I've ever been super passionate about*. However, I guess at the moment I'd be classified as a student, which I'm more than cool with.


*Edit: That and growing a rad beard.

In reply to the OP...

The amount of commercials on TV (ugh) and trying to avoid anything to do with religion (all of them), which seems so much harder here.

I'm racking my brain, but bacon & healthcare about covers it. I guess the only other thing is tea; you can buy good tea here (Yorkshire Gold, Bewleys etc.) but the milk over here is so crap the cuppa you end up with is mediocre.

I have thought of another thing. Weird American spelling.
British spelling = OCHRE. US spelling = OCHRE or OCHER
British spelling = MEDIOCRE. US spelling = MEDIOCRE

How come there is no American equivalent to the Académie française?

Because if it weren't for the French, the Americans would all be speaking English now?

Bubbly, giggly personalities in grown women, and the assumption that one is cold and standoffish if not bubbly and giggly.
