A right royal day

October 19, 2009

There’s a lot I want to tell you but all you really need to know is that today I became a British citizen.

Caitlin and the Queen

And for those who know me on facebook, Chuck Bass was not the special local representative at the British citizenship ceremony. It was some old guy. But I’m planning on photoshopping Chuck’s head on his body when I get the professional photo anyway.

    Congrats Caitlin! Love it! But PLEASE, do not adopt a British accent! Madonna has taught us a valuable lesson on how annoying that can be!

    Congrats! And if you have an accent I won’t make fun of you because it would be hypocritical of me :)
