Safferz;984504 wrote: I can confirm... Alpha mustered the e-courage to ask me out for dinner when he learned I was in Hargeisa again this summer, but when he picked me up and we settled down at a local Ethiopian spot, he couldn't even make eye contact or get a sentence out because he was so flustered. As an introvert myself, I panicked at his inability to carry conversation (two people can't be listeners, after all), so we finished our tibs in complete silence until I asked the waiter for the bill in my broken Amharic. Conveniently Alpha stepped out at that exact moment, having "left" his phone in the car, so I paid the bill and asked him to take me home. It was certainly one of the most awkward first dates I've ever had, but I gave him another chance later in the week when he begged me to hang out again via SOL PMs. As he opened up to me over time, he became more personable and easier to talk to, though I know much of that has to do with the sheer quantities of qat and shisha we were ingesting at his house. Who would have thought Alpha's garden is actually a real hobby of his? I even saw all the books and furniture he's collecting for his library and research centre. So beyond his trollish SOL exterior, Alpha is actually a smart, kind guy with a great sense of humour, ee sida ula soco. Alpha and I have been the best of friends ever since this is preposterous. waad walaatahay walle. miyaad isku xishootid, inabti. WTF? :mad: i will NOT have my person sliced opened, slowly dissected and openly critiqued by extroverted folks to make speculative wax-la-yidhi comments. what do you think you're playing at? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL@Alpha and I have been the best of friends ever since introverted or what, ma istidhi? even your writing is introverted dee. typical introvert. you can't say it, yeah? caadi iska dhig. :p

what a nice little Islamic New Year Holiday it was today. it was the last official holiday of the year here. New Year’s Day Milad un Nabi (Birthday of the Prophet Muhammad) May Day Somaliland Reclamation of Independence x 2 days Lailat Al Miraj (Ascent of the Prophet Muhammad) Somaliland Independence from Britain Eid Al Fitr x 2 days Eid Al Adha x 2 days Islamic New Year TOTAL = 12 SL needs more national days to create unity and a better national psyche. i'm recommending the following....

working two jobs aint easy lakinse what about my life/work balance? [Chorus: John Legend] There's something in your heart and it's in your eyes It's the fire, inside you Let it burn You don't say good luck You say don't give up It's the fire, inside you Let it burn [black Thought] Yeah, and if I'm ever at the crossroads and start feeling mixed signals like Morse code My soul start to grow colder than the North Pole I try to focus on the hole of where the torch goes In the tradition of these legendary sports pros As far as I can see, I've made it to the threshold Lord knows I've waited for this a lifetime And I'm an icon when I let my light shine Shine bright as an example of a champion Taking the advantage, never copping out or cancelling Burn like a chariot, learn how to carry it Maverick, always above and beyond average Fuel to the flame that I train with and travel with Something in my eyes say I'm so close to having the prize I realise I'm supposed to reach for the skies Never let somebody try to tell you otherwise [Chorus] [black Thought] One love, one game, one desire One flame, one bonfire, let it burn higher I never show signs of fatigue or turn tired cause I'm the definition of tragedy turned triumph It's David and Goliath, I made it to the eye of the storm, feeling torn like they fed me to the lions Before my time start to wind down like the Mayans I show 'em how I got the grind down like a science It sounds like a riot on hush, it's so quiet The only thing I hear is my heart, I'm inspired by the challenge that I find myself standing eye to eye with Then move like a wise warrior and not a coward You can't escape the history that you was meant to make That's why the highest victory is what I'm meant to take You came to celebrate, I came to sever great I hate losing, I refuse to make the same mistake

I'm a little intimidated because I haven't done a race since 2011, but then again I have more than enough time to train (but winter running in New England ).
