First a rant: As you have probably seen over the past months I am a hateful person. Actually I just use the word liberally in the sense not as strong a definition as some people attach it. So to add to the list of things I "hate": Americans in Paris.
Americans in Paris are easy to find. They are loud. This isn't a stereotype they are always loud. (I don't count anymore, I am officially off the list this time because I am travelling alone and have specifically not met any Americans here, other then when my aunt visited, but she actually lives in Martinique, which is French.) They are not only loud but also rude and disrespectful. Before I explain I want to clarify that I don't expect someone to conform to the culture of the country they are in, in fact I refuse to do that, but I do expect them to respect it.
The best example of this is on the Metro. Americans can always be found on the Metro by voice alone. It is incredible. The Metro in France is a 10 minute period of time for the French to escape the busy life in Paris and get lost in their books. It is nearly impossible to do this when a group of (usually young but not always) Americans are yelling about who threw-up where, who ended up in bed with who, or who passed out in the gutter last night.
The All-Time Example though was a few years ago at Versailles (the palace the Sun God Louis XIV built, sorry if you learned something). I was showing a few friends around when a group of Texans were heard from yards away. The gardens at Versailles are vast, so the fact that the Texans had Walkie-Talkies was not surprising, what was surprising was when they YELLED into them, even with people standing right by them. The best quote from their shout fests, "I can't hear Ye!" Yes he said "ye". Who the hell uses "Ye" anymore?
I can't believe I am getting law school credits for talking about Little Red Riding Hood
In other news today in class I spent two hours learning different versions of Little Red Riding Hood. I will go into more details later, but want to pose a few question to the 5 people that read my blog. In the version you remember from your childhood....
Is it a hunter or a lumberjack that makes an appearance?
Does the grandmother get eaten?
Does Little Red Riding Hood get eaten?
How does the very end happen?

1. Lumberjack...technically a "woodcutter"
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. The lumberjack slices the wolf's stomach open and out jump Little Red and Grandma...then don't they fill him with stones or something?
That's how I remember it at least.
That j is me...don't know how I signed in as someone else.
In one version I read, they fill the wolf with stones and sew him up, leading to his subsequent drowning.
So what the hell happened? Is my version of the story right? Inquiring minds (read: drunken girls) want to know.
