Smitten by Britain
By Melissa: My interest in Great Britain began at the age of thirteen, when I discovered the Rolling Stones. I would spend hours in my room listening to their music and staring at the cover of “High Tide and Green Grass”. There was something about that cover, whether it was the gray light of the English sky, the lads in their 60’s gear and overgrown mop tops or all of it put together, I’m not sure, I just know I wanted more. So it wasn’t the Beatles, as you might have predicted, but the Stones who served as the catalyst for my learning all things British. Soon I discovered British comedies and developed an appreciation for British humor, as well as an admiration for their use of language. Like me, the British found humor in the ironies of life. “They get it, they really get it”, I thought.

Overpand, Oversexed, and Over Here
By Karen: My name is Karen and I live in northwest London in a lovely residential neighborhood called St. John’s Wood. I moved to London in September, 2009 in order to pursue a Master’s degree, though it might be more accurate to say I pursued a Master’s degree in order to move to London. I have wanted to live in London ever since 2005, when I lived here for three months working as a bartender in Clerkenwell. In 2008, I worked for a month at a law firm in the City, and I resolved that by the 2012 Olympics, I would be a Londoner.
