    yeah. i hear ya on compulsory (i think with an "o") service. everyone gets locked into thinking compusory means military when you got doctors without borders and peace corps and all sortsa shite. hell, if all the people screamin to level the playing field and have higher education for the masses could just accept the trade off, it would REALLY be a win/win for all sides, ya know?

    and as for complainin, i like complainin and hearin about it too. but perhaps you of all people need to be circumspect on what those complaints are :P

    the flip side of compulsory service is, of course, that i'm lazy and have never done it. i would, however, make an excellent ditch digger. cuz you know, you can never have enough ditches.

    my life is this: work (chaotic, but acceptable), home (playing video games instead of helping with chores as i am in ingrate), love for my wife who puts up w. my shit, and a mostly healthy boy who i think is starting to teethe which gave him a fever and has plagued him with discomfort. every parent thinks their kid is the most handsome/beautiful, but they're all wrong cuz ours is.

    stay tuff and don't let the bastards get you down!

    do you hate me for my answer in your last question? (or for a completely different reason :P)

    Don't worry about coming off as bitchy. I think coming off that way can be a good thing. I enjoy your moral outrage. I can relate to the wordy thing. It's good that you have an oppion and are willing to state it.

    Your comments make me angry a good deal of the time. That is good. I'm fairly deeply intrenched in my few points and it's good to have them chalenged. I might not change but I apreate the service.

    twenties bob could be cute, but you might hate it for things other than the theater. you can style a chin length cut VERY twenties... look it up on the interwebs!

  • in painted jezebel, laner says:

    well littlewolf is right, that would be the most fun! i would say minimal, but then again, you are in theater, so it will be caked on anyway...

  • in geography, laner says:

    i have realized recently that i am not as good at geography as i thought. i have misplaced several countries lately, and found several that i thought no longer existed.

    cce, i will conquer those games one day! i know where swaziland is, at least... i do mix up the "n" countries, though... namibia versus niger versus nigeria, and then there is algiers versus algeria... and so many others.

    then again, i am also unsure where arkansas is... i am as bad at the midwest as i am with africa... sigh...

    he hasn't said anything at work... yet. he knows i find him creepy because i tell him he has no people skills. i can't imagine why he thinks i would be his friend anywhere, to include on facebook. i don't want his creepy comments on my page, or creepy references made at work!
