^im one step ahead of you as ive dropped more hints than i should about having this record player/cassette player/pc thingy for my birthday,just got to see now if
a] the other half gets it for me when we go away for my birthday 'love-in' in November
or
b] everyone else says " i thought [insert name] would get it for you instead" and no bugger buys it![/QUOTE]
But that's exactly why you have to drop hints to as many people as possible. If you get two players, all the better - and you can easily justify it: "You see...[points out to Queen's recordings]...I'm a big fan of Queen so I want to be able to play more than one disc at a time to get a better sense of the layered harmonies. Queen sort of demands this kind of thing".
And you're fine. No one will suspect that you dropped the same hint to different people just to make sure you got the thing!
Listen to me, Joxer! You've got a lot to learn. Everyone does, in fact: I have never, ever met a single person who hasn't something to learn with me. I get everything I want and do anything I feel like doing.
And then I get punished. ; -))) But I only get punished because society contrives such notions as "morals" and "norms" to curb people's freedom. Otherwise I'd be even rich as of now.
I got some good money once pretending I was a crippled beggar. I wanted to go to a concert and had no money. This obvious thought came to mind: "But why does it have to be MY money!?". It's serious! And I did go to the concert.
You doubt it?
Last guy who doubted me woke up sedated and had his wallet emptied. And it was ALL HIS CHOICE, every single step: from the boose to the spending. ; -)))

so im doing the worry pace again. every once in a while a pang of real anxiety hits me. i try to go by the feeling that it will all be ok, and things will work out, but i look at how my mom is doing, and i realize that could be me. and i still have a lot more years ahead of me. its the anxiety that i will never be able to get out of here unless i do some illegal things...
im just so worried because i have had no luck in even finding a part time job. people are hiring but they for some reason dont want me. and now im gonna have to go bigger and badder. i want to know that 4 years of hard work was worth my time.
i wont even go to grad school- im so sick of school, and my heart just isnt into it. it would be foolish of me to go in just to 'put off real life' as a lot of my friends are doing. quite honestly, im surprised i made it this far, acedemically, and im content with that.
any ideas for translation jobs? and where to look for these things? i even started looking into travelling, but there isnt much going for it right now :(
[/QUOTE]
Glad you and your friend are ok!
I know some courts need translators, depending on the language. Other then that, you could maybe contact a publisher? And because translating (written things at least) can be done at home, you could try companies not in your area. I know a couple of people who used to translate, one in court and one for a publisher. But the publisher was a small (tiny!) strongly evangelical Christian company in America - a lot of religious publishers translate lots of short books and leaflets to distribute in other places. My friend was very badly paid, i think that's partly why he stopped, but there must be good publishers looking for people somewhere. Is there a writers organisation you could contact in your area that might know how to go about applying?
[/QUOTE]
im sure there is, and thats a good suggestion! i should ask my dad to see what he knows about it. i would like to mix my minor and major if i can :D

Gah! I'm so excited! This school year has gotten off to a great start!
First of all, I'm a junior in high school! So awesome!
My classes are so cool! I officially love honor physiology! It's so interesting, I don't understand how people hate it! I love it! Science has always been my thing! (except physics...) I'm taking French 3 with a new teacher! He's a black man from Africa! It's so cool! Hard to understand him through the accent, but I'm actually learning! My old teacher didn't teach very much since she was late often.
Best part: learning to play bass!!!!! I've already learned 5 notes and a song in two days! Thing is, I'm learning by myself cuz my teacher is always busy with the guitarists and percussionists.... There are only two bassists, including me, and we have to go outside the class to learn with pieces of paper....
I guess it's better without the teacher. More fun.
Rest of my classes aren't that great, but my boyfriend makes my history class enjoyable! When I get bored, all I have to do is ask him for help or look to my right to look at his face *sigh*

I got another impot. I'm probably the only person who gets dropped on for bugger all. I rather write whatever the nonsense they want me to than go through all that guilt-trip, which is what happens if I try to argue. it was such a bog-standard remark, it was a statement of fact. Fact is FACT. The girl sat in such a way as to let the WORLD see her feathers. I pointed it out to her trying to be HELPFUL. Instead of thanking me, she got the hump and dropped me in it, as if I had said something deeply offensive.
Now, when people say "hey, you hymie, how did your grandpa enjoy the oven?", I don't drop them in it and certainly don't go all balistic about it. I know people can be very nasty. If I kept my ear to the ground like this girl does, I wouldn't be able to get outta bed! Had she called me all the possible names or, better, just given me the cold shoulder, there'd be no problem - I'd actually grow some respect for her. But that!???
I write the nonsense and pretend I believe in every word they have me write, but I don't listen to the lectures on the evolution of ethical thinking ever since Aristotle. I won't give them the CHANCE! That's why I don't argue. Wanna punish me? Do it. But no "ethical thinking from the Etruscans to John Rawls" on me.
I don't care. Why should I?
IT'S NEW YEAR, my dear Queenzoners. NEW YEAR. I wish all people the best and just ignore the nastiness.
Isn't that the way to go?

Yes, it is the way to go if you don't want to become grey...

its funny how as we get older, we realize how 'silly' the younger ages are....
i look at how 18 year olds are, and how they talk, what they like, their 'im trying to prove a point an be my own' stage. its funny how we all go thru that.
im 21 now, and i wonder how i will look at myself when im older at this age.
at least with americans....

O dear. Is your college really strict or something? Or am i just that much of a goody-goody that i've never gotten into trouble in college (aside from the time the entire class was given a right bollocking by a teacher for not turning up for an extra lecture - and even then, i was one of the five who did turn up for it!) It just seems like you are a really nice person and you get into trouble a lot more then you should - and for silly things like the sign on the tree, things that people shouldn't be getting into trouble for!
I am very depressed - another of my good friends is moving. In the last year and two months, my 5 closest friends have moved. This one is staying in the country, which is a significant improvement over the mass exodus to Australia (apologies, Zebonka, i like Aus, I just wish my friends didn't like it quite as much), I will get to see her at least every couple of months, but this is really really frustrating! And I'm tied down here with work, college and other stuff, so its not even like I can go visit them in the near future. Waaahhhh!!!!!!!!!
Please forgive the excessive whining, but I'm going through a really tough time the last few months. I keep thinking various things are nearly worked out, and then they get unworked out, but anyway, whining is really annoying, so I shall try to put a lid on it hereafter. :)
