No hockey complaints, so Jeremy's it is! / Naming your kids with the same name / 1225 and 1559

Called Jeremy (who was out shopping for food at 10:20) to let him know that I was indeed going tonight, because I will BREAK SOMETHING if I have to hear one more complaint about how hockey coverage is stressful / disruptive / more along the same lines, haha. He says there are a bunch of Maybes, but Raymond / Kevin / Christon are definitely coming. As long as I show up in the afternoon after buying some chips, this should be fine! (Enoch may come, too) Also called Steph to see what was going on with her; things are okay with both of them, so that's good. Concessions when you live with someone, indeed so! When Teunis finally got up, we discussed fundraisers and Barack Obama / the Word of the Day / friending / unfriending / Sony / porn / rush-hour traffic / allergies / Chinese traditional family names / naming all your kids the same name.

The Oxford English Dictionary has the first citation for the word "friend" as a verb from the year 1225. In fact, 'to friend' has an older pedigree than 'to befriend' (1559). A similar pattern emerges for the undoing part, unfriend (1659) vs. unbefriend (1884).
