i wish i was in Virginia, or Athens or Brisbane or Cyprus or somewhere awesome in Eastern Europe, you know somewhere near the Black sea where they got real bread from the oven, and real wine from the vineyard and cheese so stinky you would hardly dare to eat it! and where the women are six feet two and could lift you up and snap you in two, instead im stuck in Glasgow, where the girls kind of radiate this orange glow from their fake bake sun tans and the only good thing is that its not Edinburgh, oh man....
