1. Felix at the beach, yesterday. I went with my German friends to Pacific Beach yesterday, and watched them surf and took tons of photos. This is at a little overlook you walk down from to get to the beach.. The view was incredible.
2. My friends are all out clubbing right now. I am not 21, so alas, I am at home, Dailyboothing. At least I have some drinks and delicious food to keep me company.. I'm on this cheese binge right now, from Feta to Brie to Parmesan and all that is delicious.. Match that up with a nice water cracker and I'm in heaven.
3. Felix, Artur, Anton. Before they went surfing. I'm having a great time at uni right now, meeting friends and doing things. If you don't know already, I live at an Int'l university, and go to a community college. The two worlds are so incredibly different, that I can't even compare the two. During the day I sit in classes with people that are too cool for me, born and raised So Cal kids that think 60 degrees Fahrenheit is jacket weather. I go home to Germans knocking on my wall, and we eat dinner in a caf where everything is spoken, from Chinese to Spanish to French, and everywhere around the world.

Now it's share and tell time, are you ready?

Tell me something about yourself that not many people know..

Here's mine:
I change my pillowcase every night!
WHAT'S YOUR SECRET?

@aalexandraseal - that's funny about the pillowcase.

Sounds like you're living the dream Alex! I lived in DC for a while and I can't tell you how much I miss the diversity out there. It's the new New York - DC is the first place internationals go now. And they settle into neighborhoods of their own kind, so the diversity is sooo rich. I was working for Starbucks some of the time I was out there and one of the funny things about our stores were that they were "older" stores that were from before Starbucks started popping up on nearly every corner. SO basically, they'd had time to be incorporated into the flavor of their neighborhoods. One store was literally know as the Somalian store because the Somalis claimed it. THey patronized it so much that they basically bullied out anyone wanting to go ther eby virtue of their own language and taking up all the seats. etc. etc.

My own store (and the neighborhood I lived in) belonged to the Ethiopians. I'm not sure if a lot of them were unemployed or retired or what, but these guys (and later in the day the women would come too) literally showed up at the time we opened and would stay until we closed. Of course individuals didn't stay all day and stuff - when one got up to leave, seemingly another Ehtiopian was always there to take his spot. They speak Amharic and I even learned a little while I was there. It's funny but now I can spot an Ethiopian descendant from a mile away.

Not many people know that I'm not fond of southern accents (shhh, I grew up, and still live in the south)
