Well I am officially back in the U.S. after spending two months working for NBC in Italy for the Winter Games. Aside from the work experience (which of course was amazing), let's get to what you all really want to know about...all the shit that isnt work related. Let's break it down into a "learned in Torino" bulleted list.
Learned in Torino
- It is physically possible for me to work a 19 hour day
- I can get tired of pasta in about 4 days....I was there for 52
- I'm not at all as attracted to Italian men as I thought
- I can cross "sex in Italy" off my to do list- hey o!
- I am not Jewish, and therefore, undateable
- Nutella gelato makes all problems melt away
- Don't IM while intoxicated, even if it is 9:30am
- Bluntness goes a long way with men
- Some college kids are fun to hang with, others I want to punch in the face
- Mormon girls can be very naughty
- Hotdogs on a pizza is not a way to go
- Nice guys really do seem to finish last
- I am still hot for cute IT guys, what the f?
- The best way to enjoy drinks at a bar is not to have to pay for them
- Just because a guy is engaged does not mean he wont try to rub your leg
- Grappa is the equivalent of someone lighting a blowtorch down my throat and then punching me in the stomach
- People in their 30's can party like there's no tomorrow
- Kip from the Tonight Show is fucking crazy
- Im pretty sure Tom Green thinks Im in love with him
- I'm definitely not
- Downtown stores are mostly clothes shops for babies and lingerie boutiques...strange?
- Red wine in Torino doesn't stain my lips
- Italian laundry places staple a tag to every fucking piece of clothes you give them
- My potty mouth has evolved
- After 11pm, 15% of tv channels turn to porn
Of course all of these bullet points have a story behind them, and maybe one day when you are good I will share one or two with you. Until then, I am officially ready to enjoy this crazy city again and all the loveliness it has to offer.
