More news from the land of social life!

[cerealjoe]

Well, had a lovely evening with lots of great people. Had a lovely pastis, the poor girl at the bar didn't get what I wanted til I pointed to the large bottle with "RICARD" written on it, bless her for knowing that you need to add water to the stuff.

In other news, I, apparently, need saving. Todd and his strangely mute friend absolutely wanted to talk to me today and they were from some kind of Church of the Holy Christ and if only they weren't into religion, they might have been hot. Well, no, I still wouldn't hang out with them because our conversation went something like:
Todd: so where are you from?
Me: France, south of France.
Todd: France is nice, where in France?
Me: Toulon, Marseille, south of France.
Todd: *blank stare*
Me: Monaco and a bit to the left.
Todd: Oh, next to the border.
Me: If you want.
Todd: I've never been to France.
Me: *smiles at the comment*
Todd: I'm from Utah, you know where that is?
Me: Yeah, I know. I used to live in Boston, so I know the US quite a bit.
Todd: I've never been to Boston.
Me: *nods*
Todd: I haven't been much outside Utah.
Me: *thinks: no kidding!?!*
Todd: So you want to come to our Church American nights?
Me: Sorry, I've already got friends and at least they can get drunk a lot. Bye now!

Monaco, border, what? Anyway, poor thing didn't know that religion was a no-no in the USSR, I guess you learn something new everyday. I still don't get how they weren't cold without proper coats, is like a Mormon thing? You have to suffer in the cold or something?

You must remember that he was from US.. he doesn't have to know anything outside it..

And the sad part is that the guy will be done with this Mormon traveling in a year and then it's back to ignoring the existence of a world outside the US.

They do actually wear black coats when it's really cold. At least I think I've seen some wearing more than their usual suits.

I still want to see the whole scene in the first episode of Black Books happening in real life (the one with the Jehovah's Witnesses, obviously).

But Todd wasn't very talkative now was he. Seemed more like just going through the motions rather than actually having a discussion. Which really just won't do!

I was half tempted to recite some good old BB lines... but you know, would have been stupid if he hadn't seen the episode :(
