Welcome to my blog. I will post whatever I am working on, whether it be a creative writing piece, random blip that has made my day, or an opinion I would like to share with the world. I hope that you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing!

All ideas are my original work. I do not take credit for work that is not mine. I may borrow pieces such as comics, definitions, or quotations, but will never pass someone else’s work off as my own; I will either credit their source or make it clear that I am not their author. I merely use these as either bouncing boards from which my own ideas can take off, or wish to share something that I found worth repeating.


Remember, today is not simply something to get through, but something to treasure. So smile and enjoy it!!!

Why I Like London (Continued)


  • The fruits and vegetables are much cheaper than in America (relatively).  Most veggies are under £1, while the fruit is between  £1- £4.  It would be so much easier to eat healthier at home if good food was more affordable.
  • How the taxes are almost always added into the price.  They are ridiculously high, but are not a surprise.  When you see the price tag says  £1, that is how much you will pay.
  • Garbage is called "rubbish" and "litter."  It just sounds so much cleaner to say "Put your rubbish in the bin!"
  • Theatre is much more affordable than in America.  Most shows in the West End (which is just as likely to have well-known actors as is Broadway), will have tickets you can get for between  £10- £25.  Even when discounted, tickets in New York are a rare find if they are under $50 a piece.
  • There are more celebrities that casually walk around (and why should they not lead normal lives?).  The locals are less fascinated by this, and tend to leave them alone.  Much more so than if Johnny Depp walked down any street in Maine.
