Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yours wasn't on the short side either Para! But long messages is awesome.

We had nutrition in Junior High for one year. Well, it's not exactly nutrition. It was more like cooking, though we learned a lot about nutrition in those classes as well. If I wanted to have a nutrition subject, I'd have to have taken a Vocational program area called "Restaurant and food processing".

It's funny how in America your system changes everywhere. Here it is the same in every school. The only difference between the schools is which education programs they offer and what optional suject they offer on the schools that has General Studies programs.

Here it is three High schools within the commune, and you choose which one to attend depending on what education program you wish to take. If they don't have a high school or the education program in the near vicinity, you have to move from your parents house and live in a small apartment. If you do that, you can get about 8000 dollars from the county commune each year. And you don't have to pay it back.

It's way too cold to eat outside here most of the year... I live in the Northern part of Norway, which means lots of snow from October to April. Not to mention no sun at all from late October to early Marsh.... So I envy you for that!

Why do you have to take college algebra at your community college? And lucky you for having some good subjects there!

I believe when I'm starting university in two years, I'll take Japanese, English, Latin and Philosophy. At least that's what I've decided for now. But then again, a lot of things can change in two years! biggrin And I need to take more subjects. I want to eventually have a PhD degree in English. That'd be awesome!

You should get your hands on a birth controll pill such as Yasmin that has no testosterone and have a lot of estrogen. It really helps on the hairgrowth!

Also without testosterone, the weight gain won't be as severe...

That's really good that you're loosing weight! In my opinion we Ravenclaws may have an easier time gaining weight. Those books are just way better than sports in my opinion. biggrin

Wow. That is.. Annoying. Like s**t. A friend of the family told us that a friend of hers had Diabetes and been been alergic to flour. I wonder what the man can actually eat. A friend of my mum is also very lactose intolerant... He bought a type of fish candy, thinking that this doesn't have any milk in it when he went to the cinema. Had to leave the movie because he got so sick.. Seems they had some sort of milk sugar in them.

...You should invent milk-less ice cream. You'd be rich!

That's great! biggrin Graduating and all. Wish we had such a fancy cermony when we graduate as you guys do!

..Our dog is going crazy at the moment. Means my mum is coming home.

Aww... That's sad... Luckily I doubt I'll lose contact with my two best friends in class. One I won't be seeing much, seeing as how she's moving back to Denmark in August. The other is living right next to us, so losing her would be quite hard.

Yeah. I've heard all about the relationship with a friend tragedies... It's sad, really sad..

I'm really introvert as well. I keep to my small group of friends and that's it. I feel really awkward trying to talk to other people.

Wow. I know of a guy who is 7 feet tall. He was like a big brother to me when we were little.

We call our teachers by their first names. No titles or no surname. Heck, I don't even know the surname of most of my teachers.

Yuuuup.. I only have half of my generals left. Then they're gone! Smart teachers to have fixed it with fifteen hours of optional subjects during the last two years instead of the first two.. It'd drive me nuts to go my third year and only have the general subjects.

Thank you! I do try. We've been learning English since first grade actually, so I think my English skills is what should be expected of us... But unfortunatly, it isn't. Not everyone has such an interest in the English language as me.

Ah, if I'd taken Spanish, I'd ask you for help. I seriously need help with my French. The teacher and I don't exactly get along... Actually no one likes her. There's horror stories going around the school about her. Sad thing is, most of them are true.

I think your English is very good! Better than over half of Gaia! But then again, it isn't hard to have better English than half of Gaia, so that doesn't really say anything, does it?

Another random question (How I love those): What are you doing this summer vacation?

Sorry I took so long! I had exams and stuff. But I have to say, this rambling on here got me ready for the long and short answer questions on my English exam. And who says being on the computer isn't good for you? wink

I think this one might just beat the world record...well, let's see...

Kitsune, you've never heard of The Newlywed Game?! Dang, you Norwegians are missing out! It's like, they ask people who are newly married questions about anything from their personalities to their sex lives, and then the other spouse has to try and match their answers. It's just a test basically to see if they know each other well after only being married a little while. But it's really funny a lot of the time with some of the questions and answers these people come up with.

I am allowed to watch in there, but it's more like I have to get in there an hour before the show I wanna watch comes on just so I can claim the TV until that one's over. But my parents are always like "You have a TV in your room, go watch in there." But the show I wanna watch, I don't get the channel in my room. But I rebuke and say "You have a TV in the kitchen, go watch in there." But they're always like "We're not watching in the kitchen, you watch in your room. We'll record it so you can watch it later." It gets quite annoying, it's like I have to form to their schedule even when I just wanna watch one show, and they watch TV all night. And we also have a Wii in the living room, but I'm not allowed to use it when my parents are on TV. I used to have a PS1 in my room, but we got rid of that. So I have no games really in my room...but my parents were thinking of putting the DVD player in my room because they never use it, they're always recording movies from TV and watching them from the DVR (or Digital Video Recorder). But I have a lot more DVDs that I watch on a regular basis, and because they always kick me out of the living room, I have to watch them with the DVD player on my computer. But my computer's dying, so I might not have it for much longer.

Awww...I've never heard of either of those breeds, but if he looks like a dot of cotton, that must be adorable. Aw, I love cats. I want to get one, but my mom's allergic and my dad's not an animal person at all. I have to wait until I have my own place. Eight? Wow, a lot of fish too, huh? I used to have a goldfish...but it was from the fair, so it died in like, 2 days.

Well, yeah, but I'm guessing that if it's hard to become pregnant, people will just stop trying after a while. But it's good that the metamorfin helps. Yeah, I wouldn't be ready either...I can't even get a tampon in without it hurting like hell...one more reason I'm scared to death to have sex.

Hm, wow. I never knew that that many people actually have it...when you think about it, 20% is a fairly big chunk of people.

Well, yeah...my best friend has it, but she's always depressed. I thought that's what it meant...until she set me straight and said that ADD just means she has the attention span of a 6 year old and she can't concentrate when she's not medicated. I get it now, haha.

Oh, that's good. How embarrassing would that be to have the hairy back of a man? Well, it's good that the medication is working. I probably couldn't handle having PCOS...I'm embarrassed enough as it is.

Why were you taking 4 pills?! I'm not an expert on this, but usually you shouldn't take more than 2 of ANY kind of pill everyday.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I used to be really irregular when I first started. I'd get a little when I'm supposed to, then with no warning and completely off schedule, I'd get a huge flow. That can be annoying, I know.

I was always close with my mom. She's divorced from my biological father (the one I've been talking about is my step-dad, but I call him dad outside of the house because it's shorter), so I spent a lot of time with her...or at least when she was home. I also lived with my grandparents, so I was close with them too. But ever since my mom got married, she's been so different...she's been acting a lot more like him every day. And I didn't even like him to begin with, but she said that it was her life and she'd marry who she wanted to. I know I was only 9, but I didn't have a say whatsoever. She just said that I'll learn to like him in time. Ha! Like that'll happen. I swear if she didn't marry him, I wouldn't be complaining as much about all this stuff.

Yeah, it was. I was very "puffy" as my mom put it. But now, with a new pill, my mom can feel the bones in my wrists and ankles, so we know this one isn't causing as much weight gain. But it causes hunger, which will cause weight gain. I apparently can't win either way.

Yeah. I just had to do gym makeups this morning. I walked to school, walked 15 laps around the field house (or the gym), walked around the school for like, 15 minutes, did my exam, then walked home. So I'm sure all the crap I ate (and by crap I mean a Monster and 2 Pop-Tarts sweatdrop ) should be partly burned up by now. Well, I learned that when you have diabetes, it's either severe weight GAIN or weight LOSS. My doctor says it's hard for people with diabetes to lose weight, but easy to gain it. I think it depends on the type you have.

Haha. I live in a big city. No forests or anything around here. Just a park, but it's only a block from my house. If I wanna walk for 10 hours, I'd be in the next city.

I don't like riding in cars with no destination. I get car sick and motion sickness. So that's why if my parents say they're going for a ride, I usually stay home, because when they go for a ride, it takes forever and they aren't going anywhere specific. I feel very whoosy when they do that.

Yeah, it is pretty much all grease. But I've been eating it all my life, I'm used to it. Although I'm not the biggest fan of the pizza at school. Me and my friends are always dabbing off the grease with a napkin, and even then we won't eat it sometimes. Fast food I've grown to love, actually...but I'm more of a Subway, Jimmy John's, of Cousins' fan. Subs are better for you than burgers anyway. I love Taco Bell too. Those Volcano burritos are amazing...and since they're spicy, it spikes your immune system. Plus it makes your nose run and sweats off the germs when you have a cold. I had my first one when I had a cold, and my nose was cleared up by the next day.

It is really unhealthy...but you know us Americans. We take good taste over health anyday. But sometimes it gets to be too much. But if you're used to it like I am, usually it's okay.

I was 10 when I got my first period. And it was right before me and my mom had to go to a meeting with my 5th grade teacher (because I was switching schools). That sucked...I had cramps right away, and we had to make a pit stop at the store to get some pads.

Well, no, not really. The parent has to bring them in at the beginning of the year and give the okay for you to have it when you need it. My mom brought in some Ibeprofen and gave it to the office and instructed the secretary that I can have 2 every 6 hours as needed. They can't just give you medicine willy-nilly though. They don't want to be responsible if you have an allergic reaction to them or something.

Oh, yeah, I believe it. Some of my friends didn't believe it could be that bad though, since they didn't have theirs until 7th grade. But once they got it, they understood. Although their's still weren't as bad as mine. And when I told them I was on the pill, they thought I "did it" regularly. -rolls eyes- They were so immature back then.

Oh yeah. I got out of swimming in gym a couple times because I had it and I couldn't use a tampon.

That's what my best friend said. But she believes that her way is the best way. She refuses to listen to me when I tell her that just because she's in the medical field doesn't mean she knows everything. But she does admit that it's better than a bunch of other people she's seen before.

Yeah, exactly. My mom tells that to my face, yet she makes me do her way, which is obviously not helping much. I wish she would see that, and maybe try something different. She always tells me to be open to change, and yet she's not open to change when it comes to my eating habits. She'll change for hers and her husband's, but not mine. It makes me so mad sometimes.

Yeah, I used to be horrible. But ever since I went on the pill, I've been much better. Now my parents just think I'm depressed since they know the pill's helping my moods. It's so annoying when they just give me random hugs because I don't smile for no reason. I just look at them with a straight face when they're talking to me, not even angry or sad looking, and they automatically think I'm depressed. UGH! I'm allowed to not smile or laugh if something's not funny, aren't I?

Probably because they think I was purposely being in a bad mood every day. They thought it was my choice, not my period, since that was the time when they didn't know how bad it could get. I would just tell them that I was in a bad mood, and they were like "It can't be THAT horrible." But it was, and now they understand that.

I never knew they had different kinds of wheat...but yeah, ours is dark. But I've still never heard of oats flour. But maybe I can find some somewhere.

Haha I never even bother with the health stuff when my mom makes homemade bread. It's always banana bread, and sometimes she puts chocolate chips in it. I know it's horrible carb and calorie wise, so I won't even go there.

I've never had that...maybe I'll try it. I don't like chicken as much as fish, but it's alright. I hate turkey though. Definitely not my favorite dish at Thanksgiving. I just don't like that it's dry. And I know you're supposed to put gravy on it, but gravy and I don't get along...it gives me an upset stomach. So yeah, I really don't like turkey much. But fish is amazing, I'd eat it every day if I could. But I haven't had fish since...2 weeks ago when I had a fish fry from the store. And that's deep fried fish, so I know that's not good either...but it's still fish.

Yeah. That's almost like you can't say you're American if you've never had a hotdog. Like my friend Anna, she lives in Milwaukee (the founder of brats, hotdogs, and beer smile ), she's German, and she hates brats. She's not a true Milwaukeean, haha.

Ew...no offense, but that doesn't sound completely appetizing...I know that real cheese doesn't sound appetizing either, being rotten milk...but I grew up with that, so it's good to me. But I've had goat cheese before, it's actually not bad. Although cow cheese is the favorite up here. You're not a true Wisconsinite if you don't like cheese either. LOL, I know LOTS of not true Wisconsinites.

I've never heard of crisped bread...what is it, exactly?

Aww, that sucks. Poor thing. We have PLENTY of overweight people. In a public setting, no one makes fun of fat people because almost everyone has a weight problem, whether it's being overweight or underweight. No one's a perfect weight here, as I'm sure you can tell.

Yeah, we have a lot of those kind of people here too. We call them the plastics because they look like Barbies and act like Paris Hilton biggrin . That'll only make sense if you know who she is, haha.

I love mini carrots, but I can't eat too many, otherwise I get a stomachache.

Haha I love the words yum and yummy. I'm almost 16 years old and I still use them.

You're lucky. I know a girl in 8th grade who has diabetes, but the school's so strict about food that if her bloodsugar's high or low, she has to call home and have her dad bring her food if she needs it. She can't just eat in the halls. It's really pathetic, if you ask me. Let the poor girl have some food, for God's sakes!

Haha, I would, but it's not like I have a refrigerator in my locker. It would be kind of disgusting after sitting there for hours. I tried bringing a granola bar once, but by the time I was hungry, that was the time I needed the whole 5 minutes to get my stuff and get to my next class, which didn't allow food. So that didn't work, and after that was lunch. So I just skipped it.

Yeah, I know. That would help so much...

Yes, it's sugarfree. I'm only allowed sugarfree gum, but I can have as much as I want. My parents are always willing to buy me sugar free gum since it keeps me from eating junk. Mine's mostly Trident, and I have one Orbit that I got for Christmas (I know, getting gum for Christmas is pathetic, but it was my step-dad's side of the family, and since they've only known me for 6 years, they don't know what I like, so they give me candy and gum mostly). I've only had sugared gum a couple times, and it never appealed to me. It seemed too sweet.

Oh, that's nice. We have 10 minutes between classes during exams, but that's only a half day, so they can do that. Also, no teachers write passes to go to the bathroom or to your locker during the exams, so they give you enough time in between to get all the stuff you need done. But we have 3 lunch periods because the school's so big. One before 4th hour (early lunch), one in between 4th and 5th hour (middle lunch), and one after 5th hour (late lunch). I had late lunch last semester, so I was always starving before lunch. I had middle lunch 2nd semester, that was nice because it was just the right time. And our teachers have assigned rooms if they've been teaching there a certain number of years. Like my Science teacher has been teaching there for 20 something years, so he has his own room. But sometimes other Science teachers have to use it because they haven't been there long enough to get their own. So those hours, he's in another class. But my Geometry teacher has only been there 2 years. So she doesn't have a classroom assigned to her. She borrows other math teacher's rooms, and switches them with every hour.

Yeah, my mom's still kind of skeptic, but she lets me since she trusts me. My dad absolutely hates that I talk to people online, since he says he's "attached" to me like a real father would be, but he doesn't say anything because he's not one for discipline since I'm technically not his kid. He lets my biological mom take care of the discipline and deep conversations about sex and stuff. He never talks to me about that.

You couldn't be any more correct about that. And I know baked potatoes aren't good for you, I rarely have them. I was just using that as an example of what my mom might think as a full meal. A more accurate example would be baked chicken, vegetables, and brown rice. When she thinks of a "meal", that's what she thinks of.

I barely have potatoes at all, unless they're the potato wedges from school. I have no idea what they do to them, but we only get a handful.

Yeah, but if she'd hear it from a doctor, she'd let me. But she'd monitor, and make sure that they're actually SMALL meals, and not full ones.

I think it was mostly genetics. That's part of my problem too. Everyone on my mom's side of the family, and the people that I get most of my characteristics from, are overweight. Except my biological father, he was tall and skinny, but he had horrible eating habits. He just didn't gain an ounce, which I, unfortunately, did not get from him. But that's probably the reason I'm not horribly overweight, because my mom is, but my dad isn't.

Yeah, I know plenty of people like that. My ex best friend Kassi was like that. She's a stick, and yet she eats WAY more sweets and junk than the rest of us. Also my friend Becky eats nothing but chocolate, red meat, and other junk, yet she's a stick. But she has a high metabolism though, so there's her reason.

Well, she was trained before she went into it. It's not like she randomly went up to them and said "Oh, I want a job here" and they just gave it to her. Nooo, she had to go through training, which was basically like college courses, but just in a hospital, not a school. She just didn't finish the amount of college she needed for psycology, so the only other answer she thought of was medical. But now she's urging me not to go into medical because she hates it so much. The only reason she's staying is because it pays the bills.

Nope, ours are always the same. But my grandma's schedule changed every day, so I kind of have an idea of what that would be like.

Ours vary between 52 and 56 minutes, I think. Or something.

I think that's just the grading system. It's kind of hard to explain, but I understand a little bit as to why it might be harder for you guys.

Okay now, to us, a B isn't that hard to get. For us, A's have been noted as average, since everyone can get them if they work for them. C's have been considered bad, although they're just normal. So for us to get a 5.7 it wouldn't take that much work. That is, if we were doing OUR work and not yours.

Well, don't be too sure of that. Our English is all messed up with slang and crap. The British have the proper English, we don't. And we're always using grammatical errors, mostly about like "Me and you went to the store" instead of "You and I went to the store". Although we know what's right, it doesn't SOUND right to us because we've been listening to it said wrong all our lives. I'm not sure about straight 6's in English.

Okay, what's the difference between practical math and theoretical math? We just have Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Algebra, Advanced Algebra with Trigenometry, Calculas, and AP Calculas. And I've been pretty good in math for as long as I can remember, although I don't really like it. I have an A+ right now.

To get into our colleges, it depends on which one you're going to, and what you're majoring in. Like me, I'm majoring in computers or technology. I don't need to go to a 4 year college for that. I go to a 2 year college, which just requires a high school diploma (which is just the required courses you had to take in high school). Whereas 4 year colleges require 4 years of English, Math, Science, and a foreign language, 3 years of History, 2 years of Gym, and the electives based on your major. Grades really have nothing to do with getting in, it's just what classes they'll put you in depend on your grades.

I like our grading system better...yours just seems confusing...

Our high school would love you to choose your field early, but you don't have to. But as long as you're working for SOMETHING, they'll help you pick if you're having trouble. College is more for that here.

We don't skip grades much here either, but keep in mind, my grandma went to school in the 40s and 50s. Things were different back then. My grade school has a 3 year old class now, since the parents were demanding it. So we have 3, 4, and 5 year old kindergarten, then 1st through 8th grade, then 4 years of high school. I was technically held back from kindergarten because my birthday was a week after the cutoff for kindergarten (I had to be 5 years old by September 1st, but I was turning 5 September 10th, so I had to wait another year). I'm actually supposed to be a Sophomore, but because of my stupid birthday, I'm stuck being a freshman.

We have more public schools than private, and I have to say I love it. Private schools are just religious based ones. Like my grade school was Lutheran based (just a branch of Christianity). We have some here, but mostly public ones.

Oh, that's cool! I'd love to visit Auschwitz. It seems really interesting to be able to see what ACTUALLY happened and what it ACTUALLY looked like and stuff.

We really started getting deeper into it in 8th grade, then we continued it 9th grade.

Haha yep, pretty much. It's a really ugly combination though. If you'd walk into our cafeteria, you'd understand what I'm saying.

Haha nice. I know someone who knows the lunch lady that gives out sides and desserts when you're not having the main special, so he gets extras. It's so unfair... razz

Well, you're not the only one, believe me. My dad's chemistry teacher said "If you're smart enough for the exemption, you're smart enough for the exam." He didn't get them either. Don't worry, you're not alone.

Well, that's good that you're getting some extra help. At least you'll be closer to passing the grade.

He wasn't an A student either. I inherited my grandma's brains. She was the one that finished high school in 3 years and has a photographic memory. She said I actually beat her with the GPA (she only got up to a 3.8, I got to a 4.1). But I also inherited my aunt's love for reading. Well, mostly everyone in my family loves to read, really. But mostly my aunt, grandma, and mom loved to. And as you know, reading helps you in school, so that has something to do with it as well.

Ours depends on the teacher and how they run the class. Some don't check them, some do. It just depends.

Random answer: I call them Mr., Mrs., or Miss whatever their last name is. Like my History teacher's last name is Hernandez. So I call him Mr. Hernandez. But some people call them by just their last name, like Snape and McGonagall do with Harry, but it's not considered an insult here. Even the teachers do that sometimes, just because it's shorter. Or some kids have nicknames for their teachers. Like my Science teacher's last name is Lindenberg. People call him Lindy for short. Or my Gym teacher's last name is O'Brien, people call her OB. So, it depends, but we don't called them "professor" or anything like that.

Oh, I'm sure this one beats EVERYONE'S. This took me ages...and I have more to write for responding to Para's message, so I'll do that in another message.

Oh, I don't pity it, I hit it. It's the stupid computer's fault if it breaks down, and it deserves punishment!

Yeah, I was fast asleep when you replied. I got it this morning, actually, but I didn't have time to reply to it, so I did it when I got home smile .

And some news, people! I posted my HP story on the FanFiction forum! You can check it out, if you want!.

Are you kidding? Sirius/Remus is MY FAVE SHIP EVER! heart I designed my entire Gaia profile theme around them!!! exclaim When I used to enter the Haven’s fan fic contests (I can’t anymore since I’m an HoH) my entries almost always featured puppy love! biggrin

My ex-best friend actually got me into a lot of music that I like, such as Japanese pop music and Wicked the musical. I like tons of music, too. Right now I’m listening to Queen, and yesterday I was listening to DDR songs.

Yep. Without him Harry wouldn’t be able to conjure a Patronus, so Dudley (and possibly Harry) would be dead. Plus, Sirius would’ve gotten the Dementor’s Kiss.

Ooh, wow! eek I could go on for hours! I think checking the faves list on Minerva Evenstar's Profile is the easiest way to go! That's my name on FanFiction.net.

I love her song I Kissed a Girl!

Really? They must’ve been arseholes. mad We’re accepting here. As a bisexual person, I would refuse to be here if we weren’t. Actually, if you looked at The Haven's banners, you’d see that we have some Harry/Draco and Sirius/Remus ones. One of the Wolfstar ones was obviously designed by me! xd

I’ll have to check it out. whee

It seems like the current topic is what classes everyone is taking. Last term I had cultural anthropology, educational psychology, statistics, and world literature. Next semester, which starts in September, I’m taking physics 2, political science, French, American literature, and special education (I’m studying to become a teacher, and this class is about how to teach students with special needs).

I think Remus and SIrius balance each other well; patient and cautious with impatient and impulsive. Remus keeps Sirius under control, and Sirius brings Remus out of his shell and gets him to have fun. 4laugh

Defying Gravity is my fave Wicked song. I actully saw the play in person. It was AMAZING! biggrin I wrote a fan fic for Tom Riddle based on some of the lyrics for Defying Gravity and No Good Deed.

DDR = Dance Dance Revelution. It's a Playstation game. I don't play it, but I like the songs.

You've never heard pop music from Japan! exclaim dramallama exclaim eek exclaim Hold on! *goes on YouTube*
Okay, listen to Believe by Nami Tamaki. She's my fave J-pop singer. The dancing in the video is a bit boring, but I love that she never dresses like a slut. For male singers...try the Weiss Kreuz opening theme and the DN Angel Opening theme. They're animes, but even if you don't like the show, their theme songs are brilliant!

Hmm, I've never been impressed with any songs of hers other than I Kissed a Girl. I thought Hot and Cold and You're So Gay were okay, but not worth downloading. I've never heard the Vegas one, though. *goes to look it up*

Yep, I'll be starting my third year of university next term! exclaim They say it takes 4 years to become a teacher, but it's actually 5 when you include student teaching.

Seems like Para has joined our club! biggrin Awesome. More members. We should make a banner or something.

And unfortunately no, it doesn't... I'm going to take it as a privatist. But the Uni I want to start on does offer both Japanese and Latin. It also offers Greek and Ancient Greek, which I'm considering taking. I love languages.

I know. I'm always right. (Just kidding)

Nupe. No fancy cermony at all. When we quit tenth grade, we got our cetificate in the mail. This year, I'll be leaving the day before we get our certificate, so I'll have to get it in mail as well.

And you're not alone in not having had a relationship. I haven't even kissed a person before! Not that I really want to anyway. razz

To answer my own question, I'll be going to Oslo two times this summer. I'm leaving next Wednesday and I'll be back on the 23rd. Me and two friends are going to the first yaoi(slash)con that's ever been held in Norway! And we're going to an animecon named Soracon.

And I'm gonna bother my cousin. And my dad is bring us to the amusement park in Oslo, called Tusenfryd (meaning "Thousand Joys).

Right after we come home, I'll have to go home, pack and then we're driving for four - five hours up to Tromsø, where I have an appointment at the hospital there the next day at 11 am.

Second time I'm going to Oslo is with my grandparents. We're gonna drive down there with their new campingcar! biggrin I can hardly wait! ^^

(shortest post till now, since you posted while I was writing. You evil woman you! razz )

I would read all the posts but my computer is getting fixed! I had to leave it at the apple store and they said it would take them 3-5 days. I'm at the library. I will comment on my bf's computer though!

I won't be responding as long... sweatdrop

Para, I'm sorry you're lactose-intolerant. I'd hate to have a food allergy. Oh, wait, I do have one! I'm allergic to a perservative that's often used in dairy products. I can't have American cheese, provolone (sp?), or cream cheese. I can't drink milk over 1%. Isn't that odd? confused It doesn't bother me because cheddar and mozerella cheese are my faves, and 1% is the milk I like best.

Kitsune, I love languages, too! razz I'd become fluent in Gaelic, Italian, Greek, and French if I had the time!

Kineka, I can see why you like the Vegas song. It has a fun beat, and the video was amusing. I'm glad you liked Nami's song. I heart her music! Don't worry; I don't understand the Japanese lyrics either! lol I also listen to Spanish music frequently even though I don't speak much of the language.

By the way, everyone, I entered in the avi arena here so please rate me if you get the chance! whee
