    Are these in any particular order???

    I can totally understand your celebrity status. A university friend of mine (I studied in Australia) came to pay us a visit in Malaysia, and strangers everywhere were waving to him as though he is a famous celeb!

    I can’t believe Florida Gator Football didn’t make your list!

  4. 4 Lance

    Oh, man … I can relate to everything there. Except for the Starbucks! Right now I’m especially missing the hair cut and massage, chinese food, and cheap transportation!

    No particular order, I just listed them as I thought of them…

    The absence of College football was huge oversight - it definately belongs on the list!!
