I'm a bit of a dreamer, as we've already established. On ridiculously useless days like today, I'm so happy for that fact. Work has been slow to say the least (to say the most: I've been sitting at my desk watching YouTube videos for 3 days straight...) Allowing myself to travel to London in my head is a great way to pass the time. Some people (the bestie for sure, since she's not too thrilled with this idea) would say that I have an idealized picture of living in another country.
But I honestly don't think that's the case. This free time and my little day-dreams have allowed me the time to really research neighborhoods, financials, ridiculous changes in pronunciation, etc. Of course it's also added about a billion must-do things to my list as well which just make me antsier to make this happen.
In my dreams I have a tiny (let's be honest here) flat in a safe neighborhood (if Notting Hill was reasonable, I definitely wouldn't turn that down...) I have a job that actually means something to someone, meaning not watching YouTube all day and also not just making money for a big corporation. I'm thinking teaching or charity work (Comic Relief/BBC Children in Need if I'm thinking big) which I can already hear you saying "neither make decent money." This could be the small flaw in my plan, because I could really use the extra cash to travel to Scotland, Wales, Paris or buy tickets for the RSC or Hay-Fest. Soon after, falling in love with a nice bloke and 2.5 kids.
So that's the dream. It's not so out there, right? And I;m thinking it would really make this blog more interesting. A quiet American girl moves to the big city on another continent; adventure and hilarity are sure to ensue. If anything, you'd get to hear the perils of moving a lifetime's worth of stuff into 400 square feet - that's got to be at least 4 posts right there!
I really don't think I'm asking for much. So come on Fates, let's kick this plan into gear! I could really use some intervention.
