do you understand why it trips me out that people can drive 45 minutes and be in aNOTHER COUNTRY?
I drive for 45 minutes and im like
a city over
Also, when Europeans can’t understand why the U.S. can’t do things like they do. APPROXIMATELY A MILLION TIMES BIGGER.
When I lived in the UK, people would be all, “The drive is three hours, so we’ll need to stop overnight,” and I’d be like, “Dude, I can go four hours before I even need to stretch my legs.”
Hell. There were times my family didn’t stop overnight from Vegas to eastern Nebraska. That’s about twenty-four hours of driving! Also, Vegas to LA is five hours. My sister and I did that and back in one day because I needed to get my fiance visa for the UK. Complaining about a three hour drive just surprises me.
When exfatalist and I visited the UK in 2008, we took a four-hour roadtrip up to Washington, D.C. from NC to fly out of Dulles (it was cheaper and a non-stop flight), sat through a seven-hour flight, then had to board a coach from London to Cardiff. It was supposed to be three hours and, due to an accident and other congestion, ended up taking more than five. It felt longer than all the rest of our trip put together, and was about the most miserable ride of my life, filled with roundabouts and narrow roads, and was pretty scary. I can’t say from my limited experience whether driving anywhere else in the UK or the European continent is like that, but if it is, I can understand why the complaints.
I swear I never appreciated America quite as much until I left it. xD
OH GOD. THIS. Growing up in New Zealand, where you can drive from the BOTTOM OF THE COUNTRY TO THE TOP (figuratively, there’s a lot of ocean in the way) in 24 hours, and side to side in like, six. ANY trip was like taking the fucking ring to mordor. One hour to my Dad’s parents was murder. FOUR hours, to my mom’s parents? We prepared for a week in advance. And this was right up until my brother and I were 17 and 19, so it wasn’t a little kid thing. My aunt and cousin lived at the top of the country, which was eight hours, and we would attempt that crusade MAYBE once every two years.
Then I moved to America. The land of ‘Oh hey, this band we like is playing in Ohio. That’s only eight hours away, let’s make a weekend of it!’
Until I moved closer in, my daily commute for a year and a half was about three hours round trip before and after a nine hour day. ‘Round these parts (the DC area)? That’s normal. Ain’t seen shit ‘til you’ve been through DC rush hour traffic.

- Random Guy: Yeah, my girlfriend just went to the washroom.
- Shy Guy: Oh God, I'm sorry, didn't know you were straight.
- Random Guy: That's alright it's cool.
- Shy Guy: You don't mind me calling you cute?
- Random Guy: A compliment is a compliment no matter who it comes from.

Tumblr is made up of…
Teleiophile:
An adolescent or young adult who is sexually attracted only to mature adults.Fictiophilia:
Attraction to fictional characters.Yupp. That pretty much sums it up.
Anglophilia: Unusual admiration or partiality for England, English ways, or things English.
Hiddlestoners and Cumberbitches are all three of these.
