that's pretty funny. i thought siren was a tori amos song, but then i was like "wait, did I get it from nadia? no, i must not know it, then."

yeah, i don't mind. just as long as you don't cite me as a source in research papers without my consent, man (manako did this, wtf, i am not a credible source).

man, if we both end up abroad over the summer, that would be...awesome. i should keep looking for more programs, on that note...

tangent: Alexei says that everyone (American, I assume) he knows that went to Asia for a significant period of time "came back really warped...except me, of course."
