I never forget a face, ever; just names. Also, you’re especially hard to forget, Jessica (Gamma keeps asking when she can see you again).

I’m okay on names–as long as I recognize the face. Worst time was when I walked right by with whom I’d had a blind date the night before.

There are indeed many blondes, although most of it comes from the bottle. Still, the Swedes are a handsome people on the whole, if you like blond and nordic. I’ve always preferred darker types myself.

Laurie Anderson is so hot.
Also, I get depressed alot, so I think I’d fit in well in Sweden. Although blondes tend to frighten me. Are there really so many blondes there?

You would do fine in Sweden, where people don’t greet each other by name, but with a simple “hi” of one sort or another. They’re both impressed and find it slightly ridiculous that Americans always call people by name. Then again, they think “how are you” is also slightly ridiculous, and even more, disingenuous, and have difficulty comprehending that it’s a nicety and that people aren’t being false by asking that question.

A different view of that pile of books:
