| Here is a collection of ruminations and whatnot. |
| I'm asked to figure out what my life might have been like had I stayed in England. I was born in Ireland to an illegitmate union and my parents were Philip of Edinburg and Dame Maggie Smith. I was born and then taken to a family in Lancashire, England where I grew up to about twelve and then I was taken away, kidnapped, by Mrs Windsor's minions. If I had been allowed to grow up in England, in that Lancashire family, my status would have been second class. I would have been in a working class family, and never went to a good school where in England schooling was the mark of a first class citizen and would have pointed a child to a big job somewhere in the future. I wouldn't have been in that category. In that life I would not have met the people who mattered. The Queen would have kept me under her foot and made it clear to everyone that I was persona non grata. I would have suffered a humiliation everywhere I would have gone. My stepparents would have been also cut and made to feel that they weren't anyone. They would have taken it out on me and would have probably given me in marriage to anybody who happened to think I was anything good to have a snog with. I would have had no morals whatsoever and become a bad girl. Cut to here, where I am a woman who grew up with a new name, went to a good Catholic private school, received a BA and PhD in college, and went to a good place to work at Yale, I was still ahead of who I should have been in England. I was not happy at Yale and that was when the Queen decided it was time to make me feel sad forever. All of my life since Yale i was seeing a therapist for depression, and given meds to take for the rest of my life. I tried several times to work in Science but I failed or did not progress. I went into retail and sold dresses and jewelry (but enjoyed it well enough) and china. I went to work for a laboratory at a manufacturing plant. I worked for a pharmacy as a technician (and feared screwing up but survived and did not do anyone in by screwing up at anything). I was hired as a regulatory specialist where I used my skills at research and science to help the company successfully clear devices for market in the USA through the FDA. I went after that for a MFA in Creative writing and graduated with Distinction. The USA is not into 'class' and the whole lot of stuff that English culture is all about. Americans left England a long time ago and have been successful with different types of businessmen and women who came from the grass roots to establish good companies. Many of course have had a leg up with their ancestors being rich. But everyone is respected no matter what or who their parents were. I would prefer to have lived in the USA having gone through this life than a very sad and almost Dickensian life in England knowing that my parentage would have put me in a bad position always. Here, the USA, if people knew who my parents were, they never mentioned it and many were in the employ of the Queen bent on making me sad all the time. they forgot that i am made of sterner stuff and do not accept the judgements of people like her who isn't any good. the Queen has made it difficult for England to succeed in their work with other countries and her sins are legendary. It is better that I live in the USA because I'm far away enough from that woman and her minions. I accept my life here and my legal name. I do not know who I was when i was born and when I was fobbed off to a family in Lancashire, England. Should my real parents have a change of heart, and wish me to join them in England, it might be nice to meet them and see where we can resume a relationship if there is a chance for us at all. I wish no harm to come to England nor to its people. But i do not see how I could have been anything worthwhile in England if i never left. |
