Like years past I will be spending this July 1st
in London celebrating Canada Day with my own kind and I can’t wait. I’m a
little more excited this year because my favourite band is playing. But even
without Hedley I love this event, Canadian food, Canadian beer, Canadian music
and most importantly Canadian men!
I have a theory that Canada and England are separated
by an ocean for a reason and because of that reason people from the two
shouldn’t date. Since finding a fellow Canadian in this Brit pond is rare I’m
planning on taking full advantage of Canada Day.
I’ve given British guys a fair chance; I’ve dated more
than my fair share and time and time again they've proven my theory right. We’re
just from two different worlds.
It’s not just
the silly things like soccer and their inability to handle the cold; it’s our
sense of humour and mannerisms. We’re just not on the same page.
English guys
don’t get me, they can’t understand why I stay up till bird singing o’clock to
watch hockey. And they really can’t understand why I watch when my team couldn’t
score a goal even if the other team wasn’t in the building.
The other
problem is they just don’t know how to take me; I’m definitely not the average
girl here. I’m sharp tongued, I’m opinionated, I listen to punk and rock, I
drink beer, play video games, poker and I know sports; MMA, boxing, hockey (of
course) anything violent really. I mean I give as good as I get and that’s not
really the norm here.
And since I
have no desire to be the norm I get stuck dealing with random BS I shouldn’t
have to and I’m sick of it. And since I’m not going to change the guys I date are
going to have to.
Don’t get me
wrong I know Canadian guys aren’t perfect, they can be just as bad if not worse
but I just feel like I’m better equipped to deal with them.
Or maybe I’m
just more willing to deal with them. But I think the fact we’d be starting off
on a more even footing may help things. I don’t know if there’s any truth in
that but something has to give before I snap and go on a killing spree. I
probably shouldn’t joke about things like that or I may find myself on some government
watch list.
Anyways we all
know what I’m looking forward to this summer but what are you guys looking
forward to? And do you think I’m right that there’s ocean between certain
places for a reason or am I just crazy?
Love,
The Honest
Bitch

Admittedly Canadian hockey is second to none.
ReplyDeleteLove the maple leafs.
Don't blame the ocean. England is dull and boring. And if by some chance there was any humor to be found...it would be so dry that no one could laugh anyway. Hang in there. And unless you have dreams of marrying royalty, stay far away from Englishmen.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that when you are on your way to England to find a guy, you've gone too far as soon as you reach the shore. "There's other fish in the sea." Everyone knows that! Perhaps you should invest in some scuba gear, lady. Who knows, maybe you'll find Leonardo DiCaprio still waiting for you in the belly of the titanic if that's the kind of guy you're after. His fingers and toes might be a little wrinkly if you keep him waiting for too long, though.
