the daily snivel
Not everyone at law school is dull or evil!
During the last party I was at (a bash to celebrate the end of exams), I had the good foresight to bring my SLR camera and take some decent photos of some of my dearest friends from law school, who fill up a huge part of my life and yet I've had no actual pictures of until now. Some of the pictures that came back captured their essences so well that I decided to post them on my blog for posterity. In particular, I like the fact that everyone in these pictures is both drinking and laughing -- truly natural and typical poses for my much-loved pals.
This if a photo of Aimee, who works at the Clinic with me and is someone who almost never stops laughing. Due to a strange arrangement of circumstances, I'm her "surrogate boyfriend" for the summer, as her current boyfriend is in the Yukon Territories for the next two months, and I can be trusted to be distracting and entertaining without being actually any kind of competition. The only inappropriate feelings I might have are actually for Aimee's new bicycle, which is a beautiful pink single-speed "Hello Kitty" bicycle that I am on record as saying I want to lick.
There is no better soul in my law school than Aniel. He's half Irish, half East Indian, and all swell. He's mastered the perfect Guinness pour while working as a bartender in Ireland, conquered tax law, and tells stories of such mirth and wonder to make your eyes water from laughter and amazement.
Jenn is probably my favourite law student, as she mixes up a commitment to social justice and international human rights with even more extraordinary and charming things like an enduring love of Coronation Street, the CBC, wine, and endearing stories about her parents back in Newfoundland. Self-described as the "Pinky Tuscadero" of the faculty of law, she is the funniest person I know, while also being wonderfully politically engaged.
This is a photo of Aniel's sparkling girlfriend, Haley (left), and my wonderful, sweet, quiet friend Samar (right).
