His embarassment would have pleased me, but once he recovered, there would be that awkward period that sometimes culminates in a handshake.

But what is so hard about sitting there while people tell you how much they love you? And if you don't like it, well, learn to like it. I try to take one person at a time. I never look down the line to see how many more people are left. And I always try to make people talk about something besides whatever they planned to say.

What they don't understand is that those are just fifteen more seconds you can spend hating their guts and plotting revenge.

People ask if I miss it, but they don't understand that American culture is so ubiquitous that there's nothing to miss. I don't see myself moving back. It's not that I hate the United States. I just always thought it would be a shame not to live in a foreign country.
