I had a dream in which I was dating Snoop Dog, no joke. He took me to a secret CCR concert and to see a shitty, confusing movie with Ben Stiller. There, I saw the weirdest, creepiest looking family and wished I had a notebook and a pen so I could draw them; all of them were unusually small, not midgets but just small and shriveled up, with small square-ish faces and looking pissed off. The grandfather was in a wheel chair and had a Hitler-style moustache, his son looked exactly like him and I think there was a teenage girl but I'm not sure. The grandmother had an old, faded pink dress on and a hiderous hat with a flower sticking out of it. The wife was round and fat in red with matching bright lipstick. They were perfect! I couldn't stop staring at them because I wanted to remember them well so I could draw them later but Snoop Dog told me not to stare at them because it's rude.
My point is that I shouldn't drink so much wine before bedtime.
Last night I invited some of my favorite students for a 'potluck' because we learned that word/concept this week. They came on-time (unlike most of all americans when they're invited to a party) and brought a lot of delicious Ukranean food, desserts and even home-made wine! It was a lot of fun, they are very sweet and I loved getting some Russian speaking practice with them. One of them, Katya, might be able to find weed today! I don't even want to think about it in case it doesn't happen, but if it does...MY GOD FINALLY! :D And just when I have at least a week's supply of leftovers in my frige!

I love this movie and I love Velko Kunev despite (or because of!) his big nose and mustache.

In Bulgaria, nodding your head means 'no', shaking it means 'yes' and it only makes sense to me when I or someone else is speaking in Bulgarian.
In Eastern Europe in general, typing ':)))' with many parentheses means that you are happier than this; ':)'. When you think something is bad or something bad happens you say 'Fuuu'.
Will I ever return to the States? I really hope I find a teaching job in Bulgaria next year. If not, I'm going to Turkey.
:))))
