Hello. Lovely weather, out, isn't it? :/

[Rumbelle]

Seriously, what is this? Last week, it was boiling. Perfect Summer weather. Where did this wind, and this sleet, come from? I have things to do tomorrow! This is going to ruin my whole week. And I ran out of Tetley's.
*eye roll*
That's just perfect. Bloody typical.

What? Well, I'm not exactly expecting anybody to be reading this, so I figured I might as well take the opportunity to bitch and moan about the weather. Then again, I don't know what I expected. All it ever does is rain.

I suppose I should introduce myself, for anybody who cares enough to be reading this.
Hello! I'm Locke. Or, at least, I am for now, and for you. A good friend gave me that name very recently, showing her own incredible ability to make MBTI/Arthur Conan Doyle puns, despite the weather. And yes, I will keep complaining about that at every given chance.
I'm not the most sociable of people, really. I can come accross as arrogant, sometimes. I don't mean to. If I didn't want to socialise with people, I wouldn't bother joining forums, now, would I?
I was born and raised in England, and I have a funny little patriotic streak. I suppose we all do, really. I simultaneously adore and abhor this country. I love the cities (well, some of them...), and I dislike a large protion of the populace. I enjoy the countryside, but the weather continues to irritate me. I drink a lot of tea. I hate the Full English Breakfast.
I am, of course, an Englishwoman, and as such, I crave disappointment, which is why I refuse to ever leave this once-beautiful-now-failing country. This is the reason I continue to plan picnics in the summer, despite knowing that it will, invariably, rain.

Yeah, I think I've wasted enough of your obviously blatantly oh-so precious time. Nice meeting you all, especially those of you who haven't bothered to read this far.
I think I'll get on with you very well.

EDIT: I should probably mention my age, just in passing.
I'm 20.
Not really much "passing" about that, but it will have to do. My nice dramatic ending was ruined by my own lack of foresight. That's never happened before, I swear to God.

Hahahahaha welcome to the site you seem very interesting. Hope to see you around the forums.

[Rumbelle]

^Oh, you will be doing. (I have no idea whether that should be read in an ominous tone, or a jovial one, yet. We'll see. )

Hello, Locke, and welcome to the party!

You say there's a hint of patriotism within everyone, but that's not true of me. I live in America, though I would sooner live in almost any other developed country.

But I have an absolute love affair with your home country of England! The gorgeous countryside, the quaint towns, the old architecture, the culture, the people (who are by and large a little on the kinder side than Americans). I finally got the chance to visit there last September, and everything I thought I loved about it was utterly confirmed. Except London. I honestly wasn't too keen on London.

Anyway! I too love Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. I think I like Star Wars a bit more than you. And I really want to get more into Sherlock Holmes than just those two recent movies that have come out.

Cheers!

P.S. Oh, and you'll never believe me I'm sure, but I even prefer British weather to that of my home, South Carolina.

[mintaclaire]

Haha I completely agree. I'm in America, but I wish I lived in Britain.

I would love to live in England. It is my first choice after I graduate from college.
Oh and hello!
