friends and swear words

actually this was a day of friends. talked to Oloff. he's leaving next week for china. go brother. got a really nice letter from Nina. she's a real gem. and Leonie wrote a short mail sounding very depressed saying johannes kerkorrel commited suicide. We haven't talked in a long time so i'll write to her soon. On a lighter note I was thinking yesterday how true it is that one must choose your friends well. For example, I was always an impartial observer of the criticism leveled at the United States of Arrogance and often defended them(well i also like playing the devil's advocate). but so many of my friends hate them that my resistence has crumbled. so the moral of this story is, choose your friends carefully. well i can live with hating the gringo government and all the peacecorp-wankers fucking around in africa thinking they are god's gift to us poor third world darkies. How's that friends.

from friends to lovers. She wrote a blistering email telling me i'm getting on her nerves. she's right. i'm so insecure when it comes to her. i've made a big mistake falling so deeply for her. for her i'm a good new friend with lover potential. for me she's the goddess of love, fullfiller of all dreams and destinies. somehow i've got a feeling it's all over. she'll wake up when it's too late and by then my pride will be so hurt as to allow not even friendship. ¨wy were we crucified into sex?¨ i can hear those bloody buddists sniggering about desires and attachment. but what a woman.

taught interesting classes today. people and kids are so interesting.
