Kenny and I talked about Hien / being emo, red bean ice cream, support, sarcasm, gaming, blood games, RPG stuff, video cards, nicknames, Google Chrome / Internet Explorer / Firefox being slow, eating, being surprised that I was still on after his typing away for a long time, loud squeaky noises NOT being a fart on my end (I have a witness!), doing the dishes, Hien ignoring us, David being a typical bratty younger brother, and more. Teunis says the power is out at his mom's place, and told me a story about how their myriad candles had assured his family the brightest house on the block even when the power WAS restored, hahaha! We also discussed pasta sauce without ground beef or tomatoes, allergies, garlic, how bottled water is bad for you anyway, cooking, oats and granola bars, lactose intolerance, rosemary, sage, spices, oil, onions, pennies, and more. I wouldn't mind more Skype chats with Kenny, even if his RPG stuff does get in the way. Makes me feel like there's company about - and now I sound like an old lady!

Trivia fact for Friday, July 30: In the world of professional tennis, what is the significance of the word "seeded"? At tournaments, the top players are ranked based on past performance and then "seeded" - or spread - throughout the field of competition to reduce chances that the best players will face one another in the early matches.
