Catching up...
I return to the States in one week and a day. Expect a recap then of everything I’ve done for the past 3 months and 2 weeks…
WatchRemember when Aaron Carter (A.C.) wasn’t strung on drugs? When he was concerned about spilling JUICE on his parents’ couch? I miss those simple days.

Here’s the gist of the story from CNN…young Jew boy imprisoned in a Nazi death camp falls in love with a German girl who risks her life by feeding him apples that she tosses over the camp fence on a daily basis for months. Eventually, he is moved to another concentration camp, but survives until the war’s end. Once freed, he moves to America.

So I went out on Thursday night to prendre un pot with some friends. It was quite fun. We went to a bar in St. Germain-des-Pres owned by a Scottish man named Scotty. Anyhow, great night until I took the metro from Odeon to sketchy mcsketchsville St. Denis where I was supossed to take ligne 8 to Ecole Militaire. But no! J’ai ratté the last train… like legit chased it down the quai. In...

My calling...
I’ve found it: buyer for Neiman Marcus or princess.
Let me know if you see internships concerning either.
Things I saw today...
-Communist Party of France rally outside my building for 2 hours— woulda made Mao proud!
-Woman wearing a long plaid skirt and matching scarf. Ouch.
… Both were total “What were you thinking?!” moments.
Notes from an American in Paris
1. I saw a girl legit wearing a beret and she was speaking French so probably real Parisian. What’s next babies smoking? Are all the rumours true??? 2. The panhandlers on the metro are amazing here— this morning a guy had like a mic and amp and I’m convinced the light show was on the way… 3. My host brother plays polo. There are pictures of the whole family looking like a...
My Woman
Mom: Well, I'm sure your madame can help you with that.
C: My madame? Mother, this is a host family not a brothel.

This is so not chic.
It’s official; I’m going to hell. Someone as judgemental as me should not be allowed on public transportation, let alone a Greyhound bus. Now how do I pass the 7.5 hour drive, which would take 5 hours by car and 3 by plane (including check-in), why, by doing what I do best… judging. Wish you were here so you could help me adorn this handbasket that I’m going to hell...
I want an oompa loompa now...
Never have I felt more like Violet than now with my current raging iPhone 3G envy. If I had an iPhone, I’d probably be typing this from some user-friendly app, instead of from the terrible web browser on my Samsung Instinct. Sure, I like the company of the gpa nav lady on my way home, but I would trade her any day for iCal on my phone. So enjoy your iPhone… there are starving Sprint...

“Though the French and the English in me occasionally compete with one another in some vague region of my brain, more often they play with one another, especially when I put them on paper. Yes, I think that the two languages in me love each other, and I have, on occasion, caught them having wild intercourse behind my back. However, I cannot tell you which is feminine and which is...
