I want to live in Great Britain for a while in a couple of years. I wouldn't look like a tourist. I'd get a job, learn French, work on being able to hold onto my American accent and still conform to a British accent. (I pick up accents extremely quickly. I just like listening to accents and I start subconsciously imitating the sounds I hear. When I go to Tulsa or St. Louis, I come back talking like I'm from there. It's odd. Oh, and when I lived in Baton Rouge, I lost my southern accent. Which is odd since Baton Rouge is south of Shreveport. I noticed that I started totally messing up words that were easy to say--words like "forward" or "over," for no apparent reason. I think it was because my accent was changing and I only noticed how I was changing when I said words that I normally rarely said. I would only speak with a southern accent when I called my family on the phone; then all of my Baton Rouge friends would make fun of how southern I spoke. They all have no accent at all, which is odd.)
I'm also making a girls' 90's/early 2000's playlist complete with Will Smith, Vanilla Ice, Britney Spears, Tony Vincent (childhood swoon), "Bruises" by Chairlift (semi-current swoon), etc. It's probably the girliest guilty pleasure thing I do--the new house must be christened. Dance panty party. Probably with wine in hand. Yes, please.
