I'm starting to not be able to stand people. I'm turning on my away message as soon as I get online because I don't want to be bothered by certain people. It really bites when you're talking to someone you think is really cool and then you get a message popping up from someone that you really can't stand to talk to anymore. I have three people I'm avoiding and it's really starting to piss me off.

I popped in Drumline today and I watched it. I really shouldn't watch that movie. I miss marching, and I'm not gonna be here until fall of 2005.

I'm waiting for my Visa to come in the mail. I don't mean the credit card, but I mean the thing that will let me go to Argentina. It's going to tell me where I am going, who my Mom and Dad are, any siblings, and everything else.

I got a pamphlet in the mail yesterday. Argentines greet each other in some pretty sweet ways. When meeting, they shake hands and nod to show respect. In urban areas, a brief hug and a kiss on the cheek isn't uncommon. Both men an women, when meeting friends will kiss, regardless of whether they are male or female. You can't tell me that isn't cool.

Argentines are also really spontaneous people. They often drop in on each other without prior arrangement. It's not considered rude if you're over 30 minutes late arriving to a hosts house. Dinner guests often give hosts a gift of flowers, candy, or sometimes pastries.

Dating occurs after the age of 15. The activity of choice when out on a date is dancing. Young couples often play sports, eat out, and go to movies.

Must remember this: Teemu is turning 18 on May 9th. Wow. This is getting desperate.
