InterNations, Hosted by Maximus, or Seximus or Mexical... or something

Bev is a Brit and Katrin´s a Germ

This place is the station that got me to the event.
It looks like the Cowboy´s stadium and is just as confusing.

 Dear Curious,

This is Julian. He´s not only good looking, but he also has a British accent (because he´s British)
AND he´s a writer, so he´s interesting, too. Keeping him away from Mel, for sure.

Shenay is a PHD (or is working on it). Shenay speaks Turkish
and is helping to make cancer drugs cheaper. That´s great,
Shenay, but how are you helping me?

Yes, now that you ask, I do quite like going out and meeting all sorts of people from all sorts of different lands, asking them where they are from and what makes that so different from here or Texas.

Really, meeting people started at work today where I met the last of the bosses. Volker (pronounced `Folkah`) to myself and two other fellows who are rather good at chatting out to lunch today. I can´t say I think that went splendidly, but it happened anyway, now didn´t it? I made good conversation at least, but I need to keep my bloody mouth shut about politics, I think. Nobody cares if you´re conservative or liberal except you and those that oppose you, ya dumbard.

The InterNations event went swimmingly, I suppose. I more or less verified that I can talk to pretty much any soul that I decide to talk to and I have several numbers and names to prove so much. I like this idea of "Idiot America" as it gives me a sturdy crutch on which to lean. If something is terrible in America, I blame it on Bush. But mostly I act excited (and when I say àct`that´s mostly ingenuine because it´s actually quite genuine) to be talking to people with honestly different viewpoints than myself.

I would like to thank my girlfriend for being awesome at this time. Without even being there she has helped me make friends as I have promised the presence of a truly interesting and funny person at my side in just a couple of weeks. It´s like saying over and over again, "Oh yes, William Faulkner, one of the great American authors should be by visit me in so-and-so time. You really should drop in to say hello." I really don´t think they´ll be the least bit disappointed. Good news. Some of them have British accents!

I´m sleepy and there´s more stuff to do tomorrow, including meaningful work (honest yay!). I hope this blog reaches many other happy people. If it doesn´t hit you as happy, consider a trip out of the US.
