One of my old friends that I used to talk to a lot online just had a baby. Yay, Xakana! We haven't talked in a year or so, though, which makes me sad. Don't you hate that? You just sort of quit talking, and it's all *is sad*. I knew she and her husband had been trying for a baby, but I didn't even know she was pregnant until she just posted on VJB that she gave birth last Sunday to a daughter.

Anyway. *Is happy for her.*

My brother bought the Pets thing for Sims 2, so now the computer is even slower. Grr.

I've got a math quiz and a chemistry quiz, the chemistry one over stuff that I was gone both lecture days for and as such I have no idea what we're even doing. And a history project bit due Friday that I really have to find the time to do. And a chemistry lab that evidently was due today that I totally didn't realize we even had to write up. At least my teacher finally coughed up my lab book. She kept claiming that all the books she had were in the folders at the back of the room, and suddenly mine appeared by (though not in) the folders today. Hmm. I wonder. She better not bitch about my lab being late, seeing as how I had to write it all on loose leaf paper and try to keep track of all the info separately because I didn't have the book.

Because I know you wouldn't just sit there and let him teach the wrong stuff.

Exactly. *nods*

I have a feeling it would have been you talking and me sitting there nodding like a maniac.

Hee, yay. That'd be so much fun. I've been thinking about stuff like that lately, (Upon rereading, this seems very off topic, but it made sense in my head) because the Costa Rican exchange students are at our school, but the girls are all dumb and just hang out with each other and instant message their families and such. I was like "You know, if I my mom had paid for me to go to a different country to work on whatever foreign language and I spent all my time talking to her and my friends in english, she'd kick my ass for wasting her money." And then I thought about how I totally wouldn't do that, and my example in my head was if I went over and hung out with you, because I'd actually hang out with you and not be all snobby and annoying. For example. Today, one of my friends that's hosting one of them (the worst one for the snobness and talking to friends/family the entire time, I've heard) made lunches for the both of them, you know? And then the exchange student decides she wants to buy her lunch from the cafeteria. Umm, so where's your money? The hoster had to go ask somebody else to buy the lunch on promise of paying them back and ended up missing like half of her lunch because she had to sort that all out. Though the situation was handy for me because I got offered the exchange student's packed lunch that she didn't want, jeeze! *shakes head* /story

'Elsewhere' meaning I was seeing how many people I could proposition before the shift was out

Oh, no way. Seriously? Wicked.

I meant it will be morning for us when the new episode airs for you.

Gotcha. Indeed it will/is/was. <- See Alexandria. See Alexandria conjugate. See Alexandria conjugate 'to be'.

*looks up* Yeah, I don't know what that was. It's 11:50ish in the PM now, if that's any excuse. Not really, though.

No, no, no, no, off-topic is awesome. Where else would the conversation go? We'd be going around in circles! Or, worse, hit a dead end!

the girls are all dumb and just hang out with each other and instant message their families and such.

That's pretty stupid. Aren't they there to experience what it's like to be an American student? I totally wouldn't do that. I mean, sure, if I was from a completely foreign country and didn't know hardly any english I'd probably feel a little out-of place and homesick, and then I'd like to keep in touch with my family, but... not all the time. I'd still love to learn as much as I could about the way things work in that country.

if I went over and hung out with you, because I'd actually hang out with you and not be all snobby and annoying

And then I could Australianize you! ...*snort*
But yeah. I know you wouldn't do that. I reckon you'd be all with the learning and asking questions. And answering questions. And correcting other people's answers. *giggles*
I think it'd be awesome to host an exchange student. Even though I suck with the whole communication thing when it comes to people who know hardly any english or have really really heavy accents.

That's, um, fucked up.

I got offered the exchange student's packed lunch

Haha, well, I guess that's an up-side! Not for your friend though. I'd be so pissed off if I was her.

Oh, no way. Seriously?

Yeah, serious. I still sort of remember it. It was rather strange. My boss would tell me to do something and I'd see another employee or a customer and be all "Yeah, I'm just going to hit on them now." It was pretty amusing. Luckily the dream ended before I got around to my boss. That would have been more disturbing than amusing. *shudder*

Gotcha. Indeed it will/is/was. <- See Alexandria. See Alexandria conjugate. See Alexandria conjugate 'to be'.

*suppresses giggle*

That would be horrible, wouldn't it? I love how we manage to keep convos going for like 4 months. With long pauses in there, but still going. *hugs us*

That's what I thought.

I'd still love to learn as much as I could about the way things work in that country.

Exactly. I know I'd be freaked and spend time talking to my family, because me and change don't get along at all, but it would suck to spend all your time there. I'd at least do everything that they arranged for me to do and try to hang out and learn stuff. Like english.

And then I could Australianize you! ...*snort* But yeah. I know you wouldn't do that. I reckon you'd be all with the learning and asking questions. And answering questions. And correcting other people's answers.

Exactly. Totally would. Twould be great. I wouldn't be able to throw off the accent for weeks after I got back. Because I'm like that. It'd be an American accented accent, if that makes sense, but it'd be stuck in my head forever.

Even though I suck with the whole communication thing when it comes to people who know hardly any english or have really really heavy accents.

I'm always so afraid that I'll unconsciously start imitating their accent (because, again, something that I do) but, you know, it won't be good, so they'd either laugh because it sucked or think I was either making fun of them. Which would be sad. I don't usually have a problem understanding them, though. Unless it's over the phone. Because the phone garbles things.

My boss would tell me to do something and I'd see another employee or a customer and be all "Yeah, I'm just going to hit on them now." It was pretty amusing.

Odd. But my dreams of late have been. . . interesting, to say the least, so I can't talk.

Hee, I know, isn't it great? I was just reminded of one of your entries, where we've posted so many comments the whole page has had to expand to the right to fit them all! It's this (http://crashcart9.livejournal.com/172800.html) one. 45 comments! And still going!

Yeah, I just like knowing that I can do the HTML for hyperlink-things and stuff.

*hugs us*

*giggles* interesting mental picture. *hugs us also* Four-way hugging! It's like a mini-cluster of Alexandrias and Cathryns.

I'd be freaked and spend time talking to my family, because me and change don't get along at all

Same here. I just realised that I was misleading in my previous comment, when I said I'd only talk to them when I'm homesick. I'd actually keep in touch regularly. How could you not? I meant I wouldn't spend every spare moment talking to them. Plenty of opportunities to do that here.

[another off-topic thing (I'm full of those right now): I'm writing another Cameron/Cuddy fic! And I think I'll look in my file to see what other ones I don't want to burn and sendsendsend them to my Beta, a.k.a., you]

I wouldn't be able to throw off the accent for weeks after I got back

Hee, that'd sound so weird. People sound so different with different accents. Like, their voice changes. My Religion and Study teacher likes to tell us stories about his travels to America all the time (most of which consists of him impersonating you guys) and his voice sounds so different with an American accent.

[off-topic thing that made me go "OMFG LET ME HURT THESE PEOPLE": My sister just told us that some boys in her class said they want to have sex with her! SHE'S FUCKING EIGHT YEARS OLD. Ohhh, man, I'm not happy.]

they'd either laugh because it sucked or think I was either making fun of them

That scares me too. I think I've actually done it once or twice, too.

Because the phone garbles things.

The phone garbles my head.

*looks around. shuffles closer* DO tell!

Hey, I totally don't, so go you. When it gets more complicated than lj-cut or making some journal name be all linky or bold/italic/underline/strike, I do it in my LJ client thing and copy it over. I could learn, but it's just as quick to do it my way.

Four-way hugging! It's like a mini-cluster of Alexandrias and Cathryns.

An interesting mental picture indeed, lol.

I meant I wouldn't spend every spare moment talking to them.

Indeed. Twould be boring.

My Religion and Study teacher likes to tell us stories about his travels to America all the time (most of which consists of him impersonating you guys) and his voice sounds so different with an American accent.

Ohh, that's great. Is he passible at it? It's sorta not fair, though, because everybody elsewhere can impersonate an American accent much much better than we can do yours, because you guys get American TV shows all the time. I get the occasional BBC show on the public broadcast network, but that's it. Makes me sad, because I know I could get mine for various places really good if I had the exposure because I pick them up so quickly.

My sister just told us that some boys in her class said they want to have sex with her! SHE'S FUCKING EIGHT YEARS OLD.

Umm, no. Not even cool at all. What the hell? I was pissed when some kid in my sister's class was making fun of her when she got glasses, I can't imagine what I'd do if that happened. I'd kinda want to go kick their asses also. That's disgusting. It all comes back to the parents, too. What the hell have they been doing/saying/allowing their kids to watch on TV that puts things like that in the children's heads? It's sick.

The phone garbles my head.

Yeah, el mío también.

*looks around. shuffles closer* DO tell!

Hee, just with the actual sexing occuring in one of them. And the one with muppets. Twere strange.
