I can’t decide if I’m appalled or amused that nearly 200 people have this ambition. Maybe I’m amusingly appalled.

I smoke. I’ve smoked for about 15 years (I’m 29 now). I’m not gonna be a hypocrite and start lecturing people. Presumably you are not stupid and you know the risks involved. All I will say is I never have any money. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on cigarettes. I wake up every morning feeling like someone has taken a cheese grater to my throat. Society hates me and thinks I’m weak, stupid and selfish and what used to be a cool habit when I was a teenager is now a full-on addiction that makes me feel like an idiot.

Start smoking if you want. Enjoy it. But don’t kid yourself. It will one day control your life. If you need proof, look at the 5113 people who have Quit Smoking as one of their 43 things.

After my last break-up (18 months ago), I went on a few dates but for the last 8 months, nothing. I really don’t want to end up alone but I never seem to meet men I like and I don’t know where to go to meet nice men. The longer it goes on, the less I care and I’m worried I’m going to end up an old spinster who talks to her 40 cats.

Now that cheap flights have started up across the Atlantic, I think I’ll visit next spring. It looks such a cool place.
