Marry me?

I'm having a predicament. It's quite uncomfortable. I want to move to France. This is an expensive and a potentially alienate-me-from-everyone-what-calls-me-family-and-friend decision so I would like it to be for more than 3 months. Yeah. Three months. The visa I can apply for only lasts three months and I can only apply for a longer visa when I get a job which is difficult without being Canadian or American.

You have it easy because of your little green card and your warm fuzzy ties with France. You even have councils in USA that place you overseas. You suck. I hate you.

Then yesterday I handed in my application to do a CELTA course at Language Lab in Jo'burg. There I sat for another test and an interview to determine I can teach English to people who can't already speak it. (Seriously, you still get them.) Turns out I have potential to teach English to people who can't already speak it. The principal of the school told me that it doesn't work going over for three months to find a job and then applying for a work visa which I have to do in SA anyway.

Bugga.

So I've figured it out. I'm going to marry a French person. Yup. That should do it. So if any of y'all are French (and I don't mean just Francophone), I will courier you the engagement ring which will be like... cheap. Only because I'm moving to France and all my money is tied up in that.

PS I don't really hate you if you're American or Canadian. Marry me so I can have warm fuzzy ties too.

PSS I probably won't buy you an engagement ring. Our bond transcends material possessions.

PSSS Je peut parler Francais. So we can talk.
