Coaster season is about to begin, soon. My tour this year will start at Holiday World. Due to the high price of gas, I may scale back my jaunting for local parks (or at least closer parks). Kennywood and Geauga Lake will most definitely be on the tour. Geauga Lake will finish up their water park so that should be cool. My annual stop at Cedar Point may be nixed this year. If I don't make it there, it will be the first time in about 10 years that I didn't go. They have something big planned there for next year, so I will definitely get back in 2007. May do the Michigan Parks tour, or the Virginia tour, who knows. Time will tell.
My roommates are moving out of my house, and my girlfriend is moving in. I'm taking the opportunity to repaint 10 of the rooms in the house. That process starts tomorrow!
I had a vacation planned to Newfoundland to visit my sister Alix (who still lurks around here somewhere), but now my friends in San Jose have just announced their wedding date, and it is right at the start of my vacation... so what I will probably wind up doing is flying out to San Jose a few days early, take in the sights, attend the wedding, and then fly from there across the freaking continent to Newfoundland to visit Alix.
Should be fun.
I'm going to cross that bridge once I come to it.
work, work, a weekend trip to Chicago, work, work, work.....
That's gonna be my summer, pretty much. :(
I'm goin on a tour baby!!!
But, will you be painting your steps? :clap:Quote:

Damned if I know. Hopefully I'll figure something out. I can work for the government (at a nice payscale), but I might have to learn french first. It's times like this I wish Canada was colonized by the Germans (dann würde es sehr leichter eine Job zu finden.) Mind, you could also just accuse me of learning the wrong second language.Quote:

Soon I won't know any language. I will communicate with grunts and basic hand gestures.
I think it's a rebellion thing sometimes though. Even though Spanish is obviously the more practical language in the U.S., I took French. Mainly because all the hispanic students in my school took Spanish and I was like: I'm not gunna compete with people who have been speaking this since birth and watch my GPA crash.Quote:

Though, if you think about it...learning German caused me to go to Germany, where I met my bestfriend, who is now quadralingual with french as his mothertongue...if he can't teach me french, no one can. So, by learning German, I acquired the perfect private tutor for learning french. It just cost me a little more time than most people spend...but I will learn french! (hopefully) :PQuote:

As an adult, I continue their boycott of Disney, preferring to spend my money on real castles instead of plastic ones.
And not wasting my time on such hyped up crap as Harry Potter books or movies like "Titanic" and "Shrek" has yet to leave a significant void in my life.
The same thing I do every summer, Pinky!!!
try and take over the world!!!! :D
You're the man, Sikx!!
but brain...where are we gonna find rubber pants our size.,..ZOOOOOORT!
I've no time to ponder preposterous subject matter, Pinky!! I've devised a brilliant plot to get Be to post some exclusive new lyrics on the forum!!
that was a brilliant post :)Quote:
