advent

A few days ago, five really, i went to hang out with this guy. a bunch of other people came too, which was pretty cool because it'd been a while since i'd been to a spot with a mass amounts of people that i didn't have to serve drink* to. the guy talked for a while, then spent a bit of time letting other people talk, then some others sang. this all stopped to allow everyone to go for a quick jog around the building. when the got back to their seats they all had spots on their foreheads. weird, but i didn't want to be left out so i joined in.

at the end of it all i felt like i should give up chocolate or something. but since i don't eat chocolate to begin with i decided on television. i told matty about this experience and he decided to watch more television and more trashy television. also, he would try and get me to watch it too. now, when i sit in the kitchen studying french and reading my one book a week (at the end of it all i felt like i should not only give up something, but add something too) he makes enormous sounds from his spot dans la canapé that might be laughter if i didn't know he was watching simple life:interns which isn't so much funny as embarrassing to humans everywhere.

*in ireland the word drink can be both singular and plural. i suppose it is because they use the word so often that it saves a mass amount of time if they drop the last letter.

love the french, B-rad..

keep up the good work.

Brad shows strong potential in mastering the french language (im getting good at report card crap, eh?)

i also thought i'd throw in a canadian 'eh' because maybe you haven't heard it in a while..

I gave up giving up stuff for lent for lent like three years ago. I feel i've shown strong stick-to-it-iveness by keeping it up.
