Heidelberg

Heidelberg is a city located in the Rhein-Neckar valley in southern Germnay. This is a city that has an American military occupation. Heidelberg American Highschool is the military high school located on Mark-Twain village in the city center, the mascot is the lion, and the school colors are navy blue and gold. Is known to have major rivalries with Wiesbaden and Rammstein. No one else matters, really.

In the year 2011 Mannheim High School was shut down, with most kids moving to Heidelberg. After the year 2013 Heidelberg is set to close, forcing many of the students to move up to Wiesbaden.

Heidelberg is home to the oldest university in Germany, along with the Heidelberg Schloss. Heidelberg boasts a tradition at least 50 years old, 3 times every summer 'Arches' occurs. It is a party that happens every time the castle is illuminated and fireworks are set off. 'Arches' takes place on the terrace of the gardens to the castle, and nearly all Highschool students have attended. This party was invented by Heidelberg students and is a beautiful thing really, I get so trashed every time.

Heidelberg is also known for its domination in football and basketball, it remains one of the toughest schools to beat even in its last year with its lowest population. Heidelberg has won Europeans in football and basketball at least 25 times since its founding over 60 years ago.

Heideggerization 

The process of caring about others in order to actualize the self.

A phenomenon delineated by the philosophy of Martin Heidegger.

Self (meta) - caring.
Heideggerization uses solipsism (continuity-of-consciousness; discontinuity-of-corporeality) in order to achieve care.

Heideggerization implies that egoism is not a complete idea since human beings use caring to achieve a sense of self; and selfness is a more fundamental idea than selfishness.

Ie. Selfishness mimics but is not self-actualization.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
