Do Russians sit on your steps and scream at hard-of-hearing friends over...... elaine: i do too, it seems unremittingly frivilous. if he had just done the one with the balloons that would have been better, alone it would have had a little poignancy... Balloonhedz: Im sorry...sincerely.
Im so conditioned by all the tourist bashing that goes on over on Live Journal.
Forgive me? *puppy dog eyes*
