This post is about living in England, and why I want to.

"Why the hell do you want to live in England?"

Well, I could say "Because I feel like it," but that wouldn't make for a very long post. I would have said interesting, but I can't promise anything I write will be interesting.

I'll split my reasons into two categories because it'll be more entertaining that way.

Stupid reasons:

- When people talk it (mostly) sounds like a rainbow.
- The chips that come with fish & chips taste like what you would find at the extremity of a rainbow. I swear, it's not a pot of gold, it's chips.
-Ponies.
- Taxes are included in the price, and that makes me cry happy unicorn tears.
- Sitting in the front row of the top floor of a double decker bus is a more exhilarating feeling than skydiving.
- Ponies. Ponies ponies ponies. Everywhere.
- Sausage rolls are like heaven in a pastry.
- I'd be okay with getting diabetes from Cherry Tango.
- It (mostly) doesn't snow.
- Rain makes my hair curl nicely.
- Ponies.
- Tea and crumpets/biscuits/scones/rainbows.
- Oh, and....yeah, ponies.
- Jaffa Cakes
- The 'tube' is tubular.
- 'It rains more' : yeah well, guess what? MORE CHANCES OF GETTING RAINBOWS.
- Yolo.
- I'm young and mostly stupid.

Acceptable (but not better) reasons:

- People are often unhappy with where they live.
- No matter how modern, how expensive, how well-built, no building in Canada comes anywhere near how beautiful the architecture is in England. Old is awesome. Always.
- Maybe I'm crazy but I noticed the clouds are much nicer there. I don't know. They're just...Nice.
- It's easy to be different, all I have to do is speak, and when people think i'm from the U.S. I just have to tell them i'm not, say 'aboot' and 'sorry' and 'eh', and it ends there.
- Travel within the UK is sosososososososososososososososoooooooooooo efficient. Yeah, I get it, it's a smaller country...It's still a cool thing.
- My parents would be 3000 miles away.
- The rest of Europe is a hop and a skip away.
- Because I feel like it.

------------------

I could definitely go on for another year about awesome reasons to live there, but i'm going to try being all mature and so i'll include some potentially negative shit about England:

Reasons not to live in England:

- Kraft Dinner is not easy to find.
- ...ponies poop?
- I'm going to be poor for the rest of my life.
- I'll never want to come back.

Oh, and for those of you who are wondering what i'm doing with my education, well, I don't see schools stopping existing anytime soon, so when I get old and boring, I can go to school then.

Aaannnd the most important reason I want to live there is because I want to be able to say 'I felt like going to live in England, so I did.'

My mother went to live in Israel while bombs were falling from the sky, so... yeah, don't even try.

This post is about cigarettes.

I am not writing this post to bash people who smoke, because the effects of smoking on the body are a horrible enough 'punishment' for those who indulge in the act.

I am writing this post because I just don't get it. 

When you smoke, your whole existence begins to reek of this list of five hundred and ninety nine chemicals. You might stop noticing it after a while, but it's still there, and it smells much worse than that over perfumed old lady you sat next to on the bus last week.

It might not be such a big deal in countries where temperatures don't get too extreme, but smoking outside when it's -30˚c or 30˚c is not my idea of a good time. 

I can barely afford to exist, and I could never picture myself purchasing a box of prepackaged cancer sticks as opposed to that flash/lens/reflector/camera/software/anything i've been wanting for so long. I'd cry with my cats if I ever calculated the amount of money i'd have wasted on even a year of smoking. I buy a box of Kraft Dinner and I die at the sight of coins coming out of my wallet and into the cash, but I'm comforted by the idea that I'll be enjoying the most delightful shit on the universe within the next half hour, not that i'll be inhaling this bullshit and that i'll likely be coughing up a lung within the next half of the remainder of my life.
