Obnoxious American? Yes please!

Impulse buys, gotta love them! I think everyone will agree that these were a fantastic impulse buy. While standing in line at Joann’s, my wandering eyes fell on these bad boys. I bought two and am seriously thinking of going back for more. After making my purchase I thought to myself, how awesome it would be to have these little gems when I am living in Australia surrounded by crazy Aussies? I could wear them on so many occasions, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, a random Tuesday, pretty much anytime!!

So does this mean I am going to be that obnoxious American who proudly displays and talks about how awesome their country is? That person who other people silently, or not so silently, think “if you like it so much then why don’t you go back!” I think the answer is yes and no. America is great, but I love experiencing other cultures and being reminded that more waits outside our borders, especially cultures that were built up out of a penal colony. I’m sure I will talk a lot about America and all of its glory, and people (Adam) will get sick of me, but tough the USA is in my blood and passport.

I am pretty positive there will be no mistaking me for anything other than an American over there, but just to be sure, I’ll kick off my shoes and show off my bad-a socks. It also has to be said that I fully plan on integrating into the convict culture, and I have been trying to decide what type of criminal I’m going to be. If you have any suggestions or good ideas, I’m open!

Need a pair of beautiful American flag socks? I found them for $1/ea at Joann’s on N. Mopac. If there are any American’s in Australia who feel they need a pair let me know and I’ll hand deliver them in about a month!

P.S. When I showed Adsy my awesome find he made fun of me, and then asked me to get him a pair. Yeah, first socks then green card!
