It's hard to tell from the photo, but the two books in my hand (the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Evidence) are upside down. I also had a Chinese chess set in my backpack but I figured it would just make things worse

Intriguing
While having lunch at the bagel place across from the law school, me and Sultan came up with a spur-of-the-moment photo op to boost our street cred:

People
Here is where I'll talk about some of the people I see regularly and use codenames so they still want to see me.
Pier 39 is practical and good at cooking. She has kind of a monotonic, range-constrained way of speaking (so do I for that matter) but she can be funny when she wants to.
Your Mom makes a lot of your mom jokes and suggestive reversals, e.g.
Me: I want to do X
Your Mom: I bet you DO want to do X
When I say a lot, I mean a lot, which is pretty uncommon among girls (I wonder why she hasn't switched to your dad jokes). But she's funny and they usually work.
Sibbach is serious and usually keeps quiet when the rest of us are joking around. Maybe it's because she's older than the rest of us. Well, 26 isn't that old-- I think it's a personality thing. But she's been opening up a bit more lately.
Sultan is the person I've spent the most time with so far in law school. He's an ec major, but he has both a CS-y kind of sensibility and a philosophical bent like me. This has made for some great discussions between us. We've spent hours talking about philosophy, morality, religion, and (of course) the law. He thinks quickly on his feet, but he's not out to score points when he argues, which is a rare combination. I appreciate that. And the dude does a great impression of Prof. "Coach" Heise.
Negative Feedback looks like someone who went to Berkeley (but he actually went somewhere else). He seems to think everything here sucks or is meh at best. But many people like him, strangely, so I must be missing something.
Flutist was, like me, the flute section leader for her high school marching band. How cool is that. She seems like a very friendly, good-hearted person. But she thinks piccolos are manlier than flutes because piccolos aren't as gentle. WTF. First, piccolos are half as long as flutes, and second, flutes sound gentler because piccolos are bitchy.
Wikipedia will back me up on this one:
I rest my case.
Finally, Skittles is demure, well-dressed, and nervously apologetic. She really wants me and Negative Feedback to be friends for some reason. Also she wants to learn chess (!) but doubts she'll have the time (:().
I hope this post does not bite me in the ass

A touching moment
AJ: sup
Me: I think I caught a cold over the weekend
AJ: Aww that su-
Me: Why didn't you tell me your mom was sick?
AJ: ... dammit
Last weekend I went to an animal sanctuary and gave a 600 pound pig a bellyrub. I felt a bit awkward because I hadn't eaten breakfast that morning and my stomach kept rumbling while I was looking at the animals. Whoops.
