Recipe for Becoming My Nemesis
I've recently discovered that all the people I can't stand have certain character traits in common. So I thought this through and narrowed it down to two main issues I have with people, in general.

1.) People who take themselves too seriously
2.) People who have an over-inflated sense of self

Combine the two traits into one person, and you basically have created my nemesis. I don't currently have one set nemesis (like I did back in 2003), but I have a couple of options.

Now, I know "taking yourself too seriously" and "over-inflated sense of self" can be fairly subjective. But people who don't suck can generally agree on the levels of those traits at which tools become intolerable.

Euro Trip: Observations on The Journey So Far
- Arrived at the Amsterdam airport but promptly got in a car for a trip to Belgium. Was sitting in a cafe in Nivelles, outside Brussels, where nothing, NOTHING was in English. Except of course, for the song over the radio, "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz.

- Other songs heard in Belgium: Hanson's "Mmmm Bop" in French.

- Waterloo was pretty cool. Nothing's there but a huge mound built in memory of a Dutch dude who got injured in the battle. I almost got injured climbing the gazillion steps to the top of the manmade hill. 

-The dogs are ugly here. Seriously. Some really unfortunate mixed breeds.

-I learned at dinner the other night that the Dutch don't know what it means to "go Dutch". I guess I won't be making that joke now that I'm back in Holland.

-Needed to go to the ladies room today and wandered into a coffee shop... yeah, wrong kind of coffee shop.
