It's the end of an Era

I can no longer sit on my moral high-horse. I have become one of you blogfreaks I frequently hate on unmercifully. Does this mean I need to buy a cape/dye my hair black/start collecting swords? Before you get the hot iron seal to stamp my hand in skull&bones secret society manner--let me make one thing clear: I am only doing this during my trip, to appease my parents worry that I will end up in a Berlin cabaret singing "It's Raining Men" whilst wearing a mustache and a top hat. I mean, that might still happen--I'm not going to rule it out--but at least I can write about it here so my parents will know.

I would now like to take this time to address the things that puzzle me about Scotland.
1-Since when did men think it was EVER acceptable to style their hair in a half-Mohawk half-mullet? I wish these people would stop making Prince(as in, the artist formally known as) their fashion Icon. Otherwise, my fear is that over time their hair is going to genetically mutate into horrific style--and Scotland will become the butt of even more jokes than they already are.
2-When did the O.C theme song become the #1 club song?? There is nothing more disarming than seeing the t-rex haired scottish men (as addressed above) jumping up and down screaming "CALIFORRRRRRNAAA" (yes, you read that correctly, californa..They can't even really pronounce the name of the state)

Sidebar: It is now 11:30, and my eurail pass has not yet arrived. I mean, I do have until 5, as the time frame they gave me for delivery was sometime between 9am and 5pm. Don't you love when they do that? I mean, I would almost prefer, "Get ready to sit in your dingy room all day" to "The time frame of delivery is between 9 and 5" DO THEY REALIZE THAT IS 8 HOURS? I would HARDLY qualify that as a "time frame".

This whole entry is going to degenerate very quickly into an all out rant about the newest objects of my unadulterated hatred (the u of e library, DHL Parcel Service, the kid whose alarm clock has been going off for upwards of 8 hours, Canada, West Virginia and Florida--some things never change), so I think it's probably time I ended this thing. Maybe this will be both my first, and my last entry--I guess only time will tell. But if you are going to be sitting at your desk with baited breath waiting for my next entry, I feel like it's maybe time you got some new hobbies.
