Homesickness is a disease

I need a hug.

Just one moment of real interaction. All they do here is kiss, they kiss on the cheek. How is a simple kiss supposed to comfort you?

I miss my mom.

The only people here who hug are us "Stupid Americans" and that blonde canadian girl, who is almost more american than we are.

She loves The Hills.

Slowly though we've stopped. We get embarrassed. People here stare. They charge you to use the bathrooms. Which aren't even that nice.

They're staring again.
