A Disappointment

Why I struggle with reality: it just never meets my expectations.

Example:
I ordered pasta at lunch the other day (at a really nice restaurant): pasta with arrabiata sauce (my absolute favorite kind of pasta in Italy.  I loved it at every single place I had it and each time it was a little different, so it wasn't a one shot wonder kind of deal.)  At lunch here?  Disappointed to the point of tears.  The pasta was undercooked, the arrabiata was not arrabiata, and I couldn't drown my sorrows in wine because I forgot my ID.  Translation: Italy ruined me.  I cannot survive in the real world.
