Who Said it? - Tsk tsk people

So no one knew. Pity. John Harington wrote it with a touch of irony - talking about his godmother, Queen Elizabeth.

"We all loved her for she said she loved us."

Who said it and whom was it about?

New York, New York

I Love New York.

We were still on the road, right before we hit that LOOONG tunnel that you have to go through to get to New York. There was a lot of traffic. People were driving like maniacs. A couple cars a head of us, and off to the right, this huge van seemed to have slightly scrapped another car or something as he was going pass. We're not sure what exactly happened as we didn't see it, but the van must have somehow bumped/blocked/hit/scraped this other car in some way. The small car slams on the break. A women gets out of the passenger side and starts screaming at the driver of the van. Then out from the small car driver side came this monster of a man. He was huge. Monster man runs up to drivers side van door and yanks it open. We start getting scared. Monster man grabs tiny driver man with one hand and starts pounding him with his right fist. In the head. We start freaking out. Monster man then lets go of tiny man and starts pounding him with both of his fists. In the head. We start saying prayers. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened, as at that point cars started driving again, and we lost site of them as we drove away. But Nick (our driver) summed it up eloquently when he turned to me ... "Welcome to New York, Shannon."

I really do love New York.

Land of the Free

America is everything I thought it would be.

I have no freedom, just as I knew I wouldn't. I can't connect with anyone, just as I knew I wouldn't. I've been fighting depression, just as I knew I would. I've cried myself to sleep more times in these fourth months than the previous four years combined ... just as I knew I would.

Sometimes I really hate being right.

It's not that I haven't been trying. I know I'll never like living here, but I thought I'd be able to accept it and live a somewhat contented life. At the very least not hate it here. But despite everything I've done, everyday I wake up and wish I was someplace else.

I've been fighting so hard, but I can't seem to win no matter what I do.
