I think that her name was San-dhy-a
She made spicy food
And talked kinda rude
And crapped in my mom's taqueria
female strip clubs with her.... Her
other hobbies include: speaking Old
Norse, dressing up like a zombie, and
chugging beer. Maybe it's the beer
that makes no one believe that she
isn't American, or at least German....
Looking forward to more passionate
dancing with you at some point in the
future....
bad words in English, and is always
eager to learn more in German. Also, she
kicks ass in the literal sense, so it's
a lot of fun to go (e.g.) Jon-bashing
with Sandya. She's cool, and we have
very much in common, like a preference
for beer. Well, if I didn't like guys
better, we all know what would
happen........
Oh! I should add that she's actually a
very shy person behind that extrovert
shell - and I love her for it!
weight training. Her triceps ripple when
she dips, and her biceps bulge (in a
feminine way) when she chins-up. I'm
looking forward to many future
encounters with Sandhya and a barbell.
greek history:
Greece entered World War I in 1917 on
the side of the Allies. After the war,
Greece took part in the Allied
occupation of Turkey, where many Greeks
still lived. In 1921, the Greek army
attacked from its base in Smyrna (now
Izmir), and marched toward Ankara. The
Greeks were defeated by Turkish forces
led by Mustafa Kemal (later Ataturk)
and were forced to withdraw in the
summer of 1922. Smyrna was sacked by
the Turks, and more than 1.3 million
Greek refugees from Turkey poured into
Greece, creating enormous challenges
for the Greek economy and society and
effectively ending the Megali Idea.
an "edge". if you invite her to a new
year's eve party, she'll say "cool, so
sometime late december?" & look great
while doing it. she is my favorite
person to cook with in the whole wide
world, & also a perfect road trip
buddy except when a butterfly is stuck
to your windshield. i admire her in
every way. thank god i didn't prevent
her from graduating that time i
skipped yoga when i was supposed to
sign her in. she is such an agreeable
person i couldn't have lived with the
guilt.
Did you know Sandhya won a silver
medal in the junior olympics for Judo
in 1996? You probably didn't know
that about her, because she's so
modest.
on time, but we all still love her.
After all, she helps me decide whether
entities are generic and shares her
gummi bears. Yum.
tumbleweeds of west philly, I happened
upon someone who had accidentally
lassoed herself to a totem pole.
Luckily I had my Texan wits about me,
and started teaching Sandhya everything
I know about lassoes in exchange for
Channa Masala. We've been friends ever
since. She also has a damn good German
accent, ah tell you what.
