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.
