Poste la dix-septieme, dans laquelle my day is an uphill battle, or, if I were a disney princess, I am doomed to be Snow White :(

So, I think it is time for the renaissance of brevity in this blerg. Which is why I am blergging at exactly 11:41am, before most of the day has happened. And what a day. The first words I heard from the mouth of a real live human being, other than myself or my good friends getting it on in West Hollywood, were "Tu es americaine?" OK, seriously? All I had said to her was "Bonjour!" Honestly, why even try after that?

This was such a depressing start to the morning that I got back into bed and watched another episode of The L Word.

Other super nice things people have said to me in the last 24 hours:

Kristhian: "There's white stuff on your face"
Me: "Where? Did I get it?"
Kristhian: "Oh wait, it's skin."
Me: -_-

Andrea: "Take a bite of my apple"
Me: "I'm allergic! Are you trying to kill me??"
Andrea: "Yes. You're like Snow White!"
Me: "Except I wouldn't wake up after you kiss me..."
Andrea: "What if I kiss you with an EpiPen?"
Me: -_-

And the awesomely intelligent thing I told my host family at dinner last night:

Mere d'acceuil: (in French) "Do you have enough blankets? Are you warm enough in your room at night?"
Me: "Oui, j'ai bien echauffee!" (I have no idea how to spell whatever word it sounded like I said, but I was going for something analogous to "nice and warm", and I think it maybe sounded like that.)

unfortunately, whatever I said can be translated as "yes, I'm nice and CONSTIPATED."
