Observation

I've been thinking a lot about something over the past few days. Have you ever noticed how so many bloggers tend to give France a persona? Crystal and I talked about it this weekend, and it's totally true - so many of us talk about France as if it's a person (and most often, a woman). It's always "France did this" or "France did that". It seems though that most of the people who do this are ones who are in France because of love, not because they necessarily want to be. It's like France is an adversary, maybe the bitchy neighbor who's out to get you or the back-stabbing co-worker.

Personally, France has really grown on me over time, and she's now developed into what I like to call "Crazy Aunt Flo" - you know, the aunt who does things you don't really understands and who sometimes pisses you off, but you just love her anyways - she's not to blame, that's just the way she is *insert shoulder shrug here*. It's true we've had our ups and downs (okay, mostly downs) over the years, but we've reached a good equilibrium now and I'm quite happy with the way our relationship has turned out. Who knows, maybe five years from now we'll be BFFs.
