Being Sociable

   I've actually been being pretty sociable lately, but it hasn't made for great blogging stories. Been hanging out with Chonchol from class a lot, and occasionally stopping by Diedrichs, where I've talked to Villem a lot lately and rather become friends with him. Also went to Top of the World with an old friend from HS, Raoul (last name: Haek or something, dutch, pronounced approximately "hawk"), the other day. Turns out earlier that evening he and his friend had been partaking of steel reserve.

   UN class teacher continues to exhibit a strange speech impediment, recently featuring mention of the country of Yaymen (Yemen) and the terrorist stylings of Osama bin Laydin, Russian president Pushkin (!), and this weeks winner of the excellence in mispronunciation award: "what was your name again?" "Heidi" "Right, 'Maggie'." And of course her unfailing pronunciation of Coffee Annan in the face of the unambiguous "koh-fi" of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, continues to amaze me.

   Also worth mentioning, as the last of us left Diedrichs last night around 11:30, the new weird security guard (who had just told the current Diedrichs staff that they had to disperse us!) got in his car and proceeded to slowly drive laps around the parking lot. He was on his 12th lap when we left. WTF?

If you haven't seen the above picture yet you saw my last entry during the many hours that the pictures were down (or you didn't click on the lj-cut you cultureless bastard[/ette]!). You need to immediately rectify this situation!

   Year Ago Thursday: "No One Comments to My Entries Anymore" - As if there ever was a more shameless call for more comments than such a title. Croat smashes a 40 of steel to all our dismay, and Jessika Powell stops by Diedrichs, and writes a nice little entry I'll call a visitor's impression of diedrichs and tell you you should check out because it sums it all up nice and concisely from the point of view of someone who isn't part of the "Diedrichs crew."

   Year Ago Today: Bulgarian Steel - "Tom the Horrible Human's Stooge" (THHS) makes a rare appearance in this livejournal, I link to maps of Bulgaria, rescue a newt from my pool (in what might be the first "picture of the day" here), and recommend Jeff Whetstone to all the ladies. Has he seduced anyone THIS year at Wild Rivers though? I'm going to have to do some research.
