Are You British?

I got a lovely email from one of my readers.

They wanted to know if I was British....


Sort of?

You see, Mum was British. She worked with MI6 and met my dad on a CIA/MI6 project. They got married, moved here and had me and my brother. (Mum usually uses her flawless american accent to blend in, so my brother and I have american accents)
Mum's parents live in England still and so does most of her family. We go back every three years.

Because Gram lives far away, she like to send goodies and stuff and Skype with us whenever she can. Because she is always sending me British junk food I may or may not have gotten addicted to Maltesers, the British form of Milk Duds (expect the maltesers taste good), Crunchie bars and Vimto flavored anything. Also tea. And scone. I love, love, love scones.

Sadly, it can be really hard to find any British candy in american stores. *Sigh*
I have seen maltesers at Kroger and you can order anything of amazon, but still. Wouldn't it be nice to just be able to pick up a package of vimto bon bons from the gas station?




















Blackcurrant?
Blackcurrant is a REALLY big flavor in the UK. It's the cherry flavor of England.



I meant to just find you some pictures, but now I'm working on trying not to drool on my bedspread. If you see these somewhere, buy them, eat them and send me an email!

Have you tried any other British Candy that I haven't mentioned?
If so, let me know in the comments!

Too Mad To Think Of A Clever Title

Ok:

• My hand hurts (The whole dislocation thing...) 
• It was only the Sophomores (But every single girl at the school is pretty mad) 
• I'm still mad at Alex (and basically every male in the building)
• The guy I bit was a Blackthorne Alumni. 
• My split lip was from the fight. It was split open again during interrogation because one of the guys hit me. Granted, I provoked him (I said something that wasn't very nice in Farsi) He is actually the only person I'm not extremely mad at. He showed up afterwards and looked so said, and brought me a box of chocolates. (I'm not saying I can be bribed with chocolate...but yeah.) He said we all did a really good job. 
• The way I wrote about it made it sound very unprofessional. I took out large gaps. Like the beginning. In the whole reading thing, there was all the try and be your friend etc. The way I wrote it make it look very sloppy. 
• Chef Louis totally made us all special cakes. He was also outraged that they would do this to us! And on Valentine's Day! We tried to explain it was still a pretty good plan, because we were all relaxed and everything. It was funny trying to calm him down while we were all made too. Anyway, we got lots of cake. 
• Most of the girls have recovered and are looking forward to venting at P&E on Blackthorne Boys. 

ALSO:
On a happier note: I will be posting my "About Me" Post next week.
To make it fun, my roommates will also be doing a guest post sometime this week or next. So, my roommates will also be answering a "About Me" Post. I think I'll just have them both answer the questions on my "About Me." Maybe in a different text color....I saw a blog do that earlier,


When you email in my questions, let me know which one you would prefer. Should Jess and Lily get their own "About Me" post this week or no?
