I'm sure that is true in some respects. Most of my friends have either older or younger sisters and most of them seem to get along decently with them most of the time.

J has become exactly like an older brother to them and it made us all closer. I get all squishy thinking about it and they think I'm lame but I know they agree. :)

What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

Haha, the flat. You're probably going to adopt so many English expressions once you move there, it'll be funny.
True story, whenever I read British chick lit, I think to myself in an English accent for a few hours afterwards. Once, I found myself thinking, "I wish it would stop bloody raining." I was like, wait, what did I just say?
Yeah, he is doing this final project for one of his classes and it involves this crazy computer program that does something really cool apparently. lol. He's super into it. He is normally always ready for sexytime too so i know its serious, haha. AF just ended yesterday (TMI i know) so I'm just very ready right now, lol.

It seems like its way easier to pick up a British accent than it is to lose one. I've known people who live here for years and never lose their accent. But then people from the US will live overseas for like, 2 years and come back with a British accent. weird.

Every summer my friend goes to Germany and hangs out with a lot of English and German friends. And every fall she has this weird trifecta of accents. The first week she's back I often have her repeat what she said.
