    How fantastic!!! Phil sounds so perfect for you and I certainly hope that he asks you soon. The great news is that you both are thinking exactly alike.
  3. Granted, but it will NOT be served on a dish. I wish I had more ice-cream. Granted, but you can only look at the ice cream. I wish that the snow would go away. Then all the snow in Florida or wherever you are nowadays, would end up here in Texas and made me frolic outside. -cheers- I wish I would remember to go to sleep sooner. Granted, but then you would forget to breathe. I wish my One Piece soundtrack downloaded faster. Granted, it will download at the speed of light, but the file size will be 100TB. I wish the days were more than 24 hours.

    Would your mother let you know if he asked? How wonderful it would be for you if he did ask you!!! Would you wait until you both were finished with school?

  7. What's that? Watching YET ANOTHER film. NO. No what? Grrrrrrr. No more films!!!!! Stop goofing off or I will have to blindfold you. And how will blindfolding me help, exactly...? I was watching The Office. If you are blindfolded... how are you going to 'watch' the film? I am amazing that way. I was cooking. You are definitely amazing... as far as being a good cook... we will have to wait on that one.
  8. You had better be scared! I'm watching you! As far as President Obama is concerned, here is my question... Race. When you have one parent who is African American and one parent who is Caucasian... which race are you? Do you go by the colour of your skin? Do you select features, such as hair, face, etc. to make the determination? Do you pick the race that you feel will give you an edge? What I believe is that we need to put the entire race problem behind us and move on. Obama is one-half white. If his birth certificate says that he is a Caucasian, would this have changed history? He is still the 44th President of the U.S.A., but now he is just another white guy. During the race for the Presidency, Obama was all about "the people". There was no discussion about race. At the inauguration, it was all about race. Did he forget that his mother was white? How sad that our country can't move on. I think race ought to be removed from being a factor in life. We all ought to just be Americans. Enough of my rant. And by the way, I have no idea what race is on President Obama's birth certificate. My vote for President went to the candidate who I felt could best lead the country. THANK YOU. At last, someone has picked up on a point I've been talking about from the very beginning! As for "which race are you", after watching Australia and seeing the treatment of the so-called "creamy" children that were taken away from their families for being mixed-race it appears that you are in both camps and in neither camps. You don't have to be a genius to think of people who have been prejudiced for this in the past and in fiction. But as you say, in Obama's case, the race card has indeed been played BUT, to be fair on Obama, HE wasn't the one to play it, it was the media. Everyone over here kept on saying that "America really needs a black president right now", but DOES America need that? America needs a good leader regardless. I don't think Obama will improve standards for the black community in the USA as some people have suggested (and thus imply that the standard DOES need improving, which I don't think it does). If he does well then I will indeed admit that I was wrong. But I have lost faith in the American voter simply because America complains about this and that and then votes the opposite way. But then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I cannot talk politics. You are very knowledgeable in politics! Where is TGHL when we need him? What Obama has done for the African American community in becoming the President, is significant. There is more out there for a young black person, than becoming a sports star and Obama has succeeded in reaching the top!!! That is true, but actively addressing the issue in that way again implies that there is a problem. It would be better to be unimpressed that a black individual has gotten to the top because then you completely elliminate the idea of race. Of course, congratulate the individual for the SUCCESS but leave race out of it. That just promotes the idea that people of different races have different oppertunities open to them. I know nothing about politics, I just waffle. Would that waffle be with syrup? In the USA people think that the best way to be someone is through sports or acting. Forget education... that doesn't get you anywhere. I maintain that America has a smell and that smell is somewhere between doughnuts and waffles. Mmm. I'm hungry. I warmed up to Obama on finding out that he's too attached to his Blackberry that he insisted on keeping it with him in the White House. He must really love that phone! More than the phone... I think he is so accustomed to the immediate contact and reply, that he felt that he went back to the dark ages without it. He said that that way someone on the other side of the country can send him a message asking him "What are you doing?", thereby being kept in check. A good idea in theory, but if *I* were the friend of the president of the United States I'd feel a bit funny about questioning him! But a government should be afraid ofits people, not the other way around, so I suppose it's a good thing. Or good publicity for Blackberry. Also, there is the fact that the USA keeps a log of all communication of the President. With the Blackberry, it would be much harder. Not impossible though. I did not know that, but it makes sense. From looking at the media right now it looks like people were expecting Obama to reinvent America in a single week. He can't work miracles, the poor man. His quote... "Yes we can!" No problem for President Obama!

    My life has changed so much since I got my contacts. I can do all sorts of things with them in, especially sports like swimming that have now become a LOT easier. I have dailies so there's little risk of infection and I can wear sunglasses with ease. Plus, I look so much nicer without glasses. Best. Invention. Ever. I need those.
  10. How do those feathers work on the strings?

    That's if your radar was working. Do you fly IFR? Don't need it. Eagle eyes. Those Eagle Eyes can see through clouds? I have portable foglights strapped to my head. Now that's a good idea. Do they get heavy? How about heat? Do they get hot?
  12. Wow...I totally never knew of this screen. ~Liz I use it to spy on people. *cough, cough*

    I hope it is not "MIGHT" but put your foot down and get them to accomplish something. You know how to be forceful yet nice. Just don't accept what you are told as the last answer. Unless of course, you are in agreement with that answer. You can do it. Get out of that class!!!
  14. I was going to say Jello cubes, but I guess not O: Also, might the fact that you posted this mean that you can do the meme? =DDD SWING YOH ARMS PHRUM SIDE TO SIDE COME ON NOW DO THE MEME THAT'S NO GOOD UM WERKIN UN ET.

    That's awful!!! Some one should be able to stand up for you. You should not have to take that course. Your frustration and anger are justified as there should be a real reason. You should not have to register for that class. Is there no one you can talk to?
  16. Granted, but it's broken. I wish I had an accent like a 1930's person, with the static in the background and everything. Granted, but then you are stuck inside an old wooden radio box with no chance of escape. I wish it would warm up.
  17. How's school going? Your classes okay? What's been happening with your social life? Hopefully things are looking up. We think about you and hope that all is going well.
  18. I thought you already went to France. Am I crazy? We miss you when you aren't around. So happy to see you today and to hear that your year is going great. Why do you want a hedgehog? Seriously? Why? Did you watch the festivities? France ----> April 1st. WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!! May I please come????
  19. thanks Please never let anyone tell you that you are not great at writing, creating, etc.. You are most definitely talented and have lots of ability. Do not let anyone take this away from you. Always believe in yourself.
  20. Bricks, apparently. Now now, that's clearly a bowl of spagetti and Tofu. Exactly! I didn't think anyone would guess. *hands Lexxscrapham The Black Bat Award*
  21. Bricks, apparently. You serve Bricks? Somehow I missed those on the menu.
  22. What's that? Watching YET ANOTHER film. NO. No what? Grrrrrrr. No more films!!!!! Stop goofing off or I will have to blindfold you. And how will blindfolding me help, exactly...? I was watching The Office. If you are blindfolded... how are you going to 'watch' the film?
  23. Heading out for a jog/walk in Stanley Park. It is chilly, but the sun is out and it is beautiful.
