I still have to fill out online as well, and in the end it all comes down to which country has a family that can sponser me, so i may very well end up in the Netherlands,
or Krygystan. Also, the physical copy is just to help me know what to put, the typed up online copy is the one that matters, so i may very well en dup putting Netherlands on there.
And yes, Krygystan is really on there. The country that just had the coup. Sounds safe, right?
I was very happily anticipating to eat pasta i bought yesterday. Put the pasta in oven , and went outside to wash oven tray...
Came in , see oven on fire , freaked out , inhaled bunch of smoke because i was totally set on putting the fire out.
The fire wouldnt go out , i grabbed the first metal tong i can find , lift out the pasta which is on fire and ran out side -_-
... Why was pasta in the oven?
The pasta was from a pizza store , it was in some sort of foil box. I assumed thats what they used to bake it in the first place.
And i forgot the lid was made out of paper...

Been in that situation before, cept with eggs. Ever put the shell in the pan, and not the egg?
I didn't install the 3.21 firmware on my PS3 (because I don't want to lose the otheros feature...not that I use it, I just don't like losing features). I had to use a proxy tool to connect to the PSN, and it was functional most of the time. Now it won't work at all.
I HATE YOU SONY!!!!!!!
In a Society in which there is no law, and in theory no compulsion, the only arbiter of behaviour is public opinion. But public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law. When human beings are governed by "thou shalt not", the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by "love" or "reason", he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else.

Speaking of fire, today at work, I saw a bumblebee fly to close to generators exhaust pipe xD (think 500-1000 degrees celcius range) It just went poof.
Foreign exchange, eh GES? My mother is pestering me to apply as a host to a foreign exchange student. I'd prefer one that can speak english, and no French ones please; I don't want to find croissants in my bed.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
I went on a foreign exchange to spain once... it was horrible Turns out i hate spanish culture and the family i stayed with at nowt but meat with more meat side, we arnt even talking about the good stuff like bacon or belly pork it was just leg of lamb, pork (had a leg of pork hanging from the kitchen ceiling) or beef.
However all the countries you mentioned GES sound fething awesome!
Also if any of you yanks want an exchange i'd be more than happy to I've always wanted to live there :(

Huh. Usually saying something like that gets a few reports on my post.

I feel like crap.
Let me explain. As i said i didint talk to my dad for abut 2 and a half years for reasons i dont want to delve into right.
Last year he wanted a Dna test since awhile ago my mon thought he might take me away so she said i was not his. I decided he is no dad of mine if he doesnt think im his.
We did it yesterday. He said he was to sick to come over. So my mom took him the Dna. She saw him. He eaths through a straw though his belly and has had his most of esophogus and stomach. I have said really mean stuff about him when he is miserable and might be dieing. I really fell like crap.

Looking back at the first week of term 2, I decided that I quite like the new system I'm on. I like most all my subjects, and even my set English reading books.
On the flip side of that however, my Afrikaans set book is terrible. It is a mopey teenage fiction book(although it contains no sparkly vampires).

I was thinking of applying to France. I need to take 2 years of it in chool (already did it. didn't learn anything tho.), a language camp, and no Vegatarians allowed. So I didn't.
You should think of applying as a foreign exchange student instead, not as a host. Tho if you are a host, we might end up meeting each other.
Sounds cool eh?

@EF: When was the last time you were there? Its been in a constant state of change since 1996, and it's kind of a neat place to live now. Not for 2 years like I did, but for a little while...

I lived there for about half-a-year in 2006, a bit of a changeover from Dubai and the U.A.E. There was little enough to do there and the whole thing felt...artificial. Much more so than Dubai.

WEll, Dubai was pretty fething artificial (in a Vegas type way). Of course now its piss-poor and alot of that stuff has had to be shut down.
My experience was that the first 6 months or so were interesting and then it started to get to me. If I wasn't in school for my second year there I probably would have left alot earlier.
The post-secondary education is pants though
