You Know You're an Airhead When...

...When you pack EVERY electronic device known to man, including your camera charger, but then don't bring your camera.

I guess you'll just have to take it on trust that I'm actually in Amsterdam right now, lol.

After arriving I got a Dutch SIM card, called my friend R who I have mentioned is a total kindred spirit as far as our love of tennis, music, winter sports etc. is concerned and he picked me up about 2 minutes after I checked in to my shockingly-small hotel room (but at least it has wireless!) and we walked all around Amsterdam.

It was sweet of him to show me around, but I really didn't want a tour guide, and it was stressing me out that rather than me dashing from one place on my meticulously-planned list to another and then just meeting him for a snack or dinner or something he wanted to walk around and tell me "you should see X and Y and not Z" and I was just like "I NEED TO GET MOVING!" lol. So my first day was kind of a bust. I guess I only had 4 hours before things closed anyway, but still...It was also annoying me that he kept taking me to different gay places (like places with gay-themed books or DVDs...NOT PORN lol, but like the L-Word and things like that) and I just don't care about that stuff. Maybe if I had more time, but I need to be hitting-up the museums!

Anyway, he had a dinner-date and I was ready to relax a bit, so I'm back home now, sending out my first message, and thinking about where to have my first dinner here in Amsterdam!
