I've had enough of living in America. I've done almost 3 weeks, only 9 more to go. My experiments won't work so I look like a mong in the lab. I haven't met anybody to socialise with so my blood alcohol levels have hit zero for the first time in years and that is not something I ever wished to accomplish. The food sucks so I am wasting away but that is a good thing because they are laundry philistines and all my clothes have shrunk!!! I have no friends, I'm fucking bored and it's TOO COLD!!!!

Sorry Mez :p

Hate to say it but that's the north for ya, bunch of assholes. You should look up Stalker, he lives up there somewhere...at least you'd have a Malazite to converse with.

So last night I was walking downtown for some pizza at like 1am with some friends of mine,
and someone said, "I'm so hungry I could eat a whole pizza."

I said, "I bet I could eat 100 pizzas," and no one understood me. I was sad.

You should find one of those support groups for addiction, and just go and sit and watch. According to television and film you can find all kinds of interesting people at those things.

And maybe make sex with them.

And some may be serial killers, but hey, you're bored, live a little.

That's actually a much better idea than mine, go with Abyss' plan.

It's warm down here in Mississippi. We're friendlier than northerners, but we tend to have some pretty repugnant belief systems (myself excluded, of course). You're probably better off up there.

That's simply what happens to you when you leave dear old Blighty. You discover that foreigners are quite disgustingly...foreign. You brought it on yourself; you and your career!
If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

I know!! Why didn't someone remind me that a "woman's place is in the home" before I left?

Just to qualify my thread title, the Yanks I have met are pretty cool. Gob shites, but cool. They only make up 3 of the people I work with though! The rest are from China, Spain, Argentina, Russia and India. They are all nice but ever so dull. Why are there so many dull people in the world? A plague on the dull, I say!

A man was just free-style rapping about Jesus in the shops. Does that happen a lot over here because that is the second time this week?

It's like running the gauntlet every time you get in the car. You see them do some scary shit and the blank looks on their faces tells you they have no idea that what they are doing is wrong.

Still moaning Mezles?

Why don't you go round to Bon Jovi's house and get him to play 'Blaze of Glory' for you, I think he's local.

That's a GREAT idea!

Mez, did you expect your fellow scientists to be life-of-the-party types...?

Yeah, maybe so, but you guys eat alligators and grits...whatever the hell that is. Resist them Mez. Remember who you are!

I hear american biscuits are served with gravy. As a northerner, you must inherently love gravy (and who can blame you), so I suggest hanging around diners eating lots of biscuits n' gravy and chatting to random locals. Then you get food AND company!

Biscuits aren't always served with gravy, but you can get biscuits n' gravy at most places that serve breakfast food (it's a breakfast dish). It's white gravy with tiny bits of sausage in it. They should even have that up north, though I think it's more popular in the south. You won't find grits up there, though. Well, you might, but you'd have to search hard.

And Mez...foreigners are dull cause their English isn't so great, probably. Try not to be so hard on them.

Oh, and I don't know that public freestyle rapping is all that common (though it seems to be where you are) but this is the US. We <3 Jesus.

Never been to the northeast, so I'd have no idea what to do there.

As for grits, they are the devil of breakfast foods. Hashbrowns are ever so much better as a side breakfast dish.

New Jersey sucks, it can't be helped.

Although I find it amusing to hear a brit say US food sucks......
