Frenchism.

The longer I am here the more aware I become of characteristics of mine that align with French culture versus those entirely American. 

Frenchisms:

- Naturally unkempt hair
- Inability to keep time
- Lifelong love affair with butter
- Preferred mode of transportation: mosey.
- Napping at any point throughout the day (outside) 
- Interest in food, beauty/aesthetics, intellect 


Americanisms:

- Fear of government.
- Tendency to make to-do lists.
- Scorn for those who don't work hard.
- Appreciation of egalitarianism 
- Potentially fatal loyalty to Diet Coke.
- itch to be productive
- Restraint from complete hedonism 
- Sense of humor.


... additions to come.
