That's quite a smattering of places. I vaguely recall East Texas being referred to as a scary place...is this true?

I took Russian for my whole freshman year. Apparently it comes out when I (try to) speak to Russian people when I'm drunk. But I don't think I really speak it. You need quite a few years of serious study before you are even proficient, because it's that ridiculous of a language to master. I hated it; I hated the classes. Things get weird when your professors point out that you're the only person of color in the entirety of First-Year Russian.

Where in Brooklyn do you live?

Anywho, I also like Jefferson's writing and personality; just was sort of let down at some point after having considered him my greatest hero for a long time when I was younger.

I'm from the downtown portion of Dallas, have also spent about seven years in Austin, a short amount of time exiled to East Texas with my dad (I was a bad kid), and have lived in a couple places in Mexico as well as in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Why do you speak Russian?

Friday should be good for me.
