I think I've solved the major mystery of what the foreigners to to pass the time before partying. The French Facebook, the Americans have a movie marathon of How I Met Your Mother and Forgetting Sarah Marshall (their obvious good taste is applauded), and the Germans sit in the kitchen, surrounded by contemptible eyes and hushed tones. But maybe that's just because I'm interrupting them.
I'm transcribing my notes from articles I've read and I apparently thought that the comment “sloppy seconds after reproductive output not bad” would be perfectly clear.
I got a response from my long-posted Ok Cupid profile (Disfigured69), but my reply of, “Your skin looks of average quality. I like that, and the Government.” didn’t get a reply just yet.
I had a different type of good time today, cooking my own meals, working, watching some BBC online, and scarcely an interaction as the aforementioned Germans are not as polite as their countrymen and because the drizzle has shut everything down again. Not the kind of culture I'd like to become naturalized in. I like it sloppy wet.
As a large part of vacation, spontaneous is spent planning the next bit. Amidst negotiations for camel treks I realized that I'd like to plan very large, longer and more involved trips. I'm sad that I'm hopping over a large section of these countries, when I could be shunt-piking for a month and a half across India or a similarly large country (Former Soviet nations, China, and African nations need not apply). That's what I really loved about visiting Australia and to a larger extent New Zealand. I do enjoy what I'm doing now, as it's what I wanted, and had time and money for but that's the next goal: Save 3k at least, study, plan, grab a tolerable friend or two and road trip.
Nobody else thinks of R. Pat when they hear "sloppy wet?" AM I ALONE HERE?
