h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*tries to put a very offended expression on her face - but doesn't quite manage - btw. 1,65m was very good*

In Germany lots of men do it straight after school, so the money loss isn't really that drastic. I read most of the papers the boys in my class wrote and it was so rediculous. The general sentence was my grandfather told me all those terrible stories about the war and my parents always encouraged me to solve problems in a peaceful and verbal way. One of them wrote that he always went to the children's service and was sooo impressed by the bible stories (only thing he wrote bible with ie ). I had to go this information thing about the military service every year, although I was a girl, so I usually took the chance to ask about homosexuality in the army or women wanting to refuse military service etc...very good ways to throw those army people completely off track

ROFL! yeah, I can imagine. Homophobia isn't unheard of in the army...

And it does work! One of my classmates went to this examination and said: Well I am gay, I suffer from anorexia and I'm a drug addict, are you still interested in me?
Of course he had to go to a psychological interview, but they believed him and he didn't have to do any service...although he was neither of the three

Can't do that up here... It goes on your record, so it stays with you all the way, when applying for jobs etc...

Well it goes into some kind of record here, too. And as far as I know he won't be allowed to join the army or the police anymore, but as he had already started a police training once and dropped it again, he wasn't too sad about that...
Nevertheless (haven't used that word for ages) I actually think that it's really good to do something different after school for a while...although I would propably go for the community service as a boy, appears more useful to me...and I definitely wouldn't cope very well with getting orders and being shouted at

Really?
*finds a bottle of red, opens, finds Y's, pours, hands on to Feffi*

DRINK IT!

REALLY!!!!! Though I haven't got any problems accepting orders I like
*takes the glass and sips some wine*
So what gets you mad?

I didn't expect you to either..
Cheers!
*klonk*
*sip*

A lot of things, injustice, intolerance, prejudice... but the thing that gets me the most is plain ol' stupidity!

Stupidity? Well, I guess you'll never experience the problem of running out of reasons to go mad then

Nope... Especially in this country. I watch the news - bam! - I'm on a rage! Read the papers - bam! - I'm on a rage!
Nah, really, it isn't that bad.

So, what you doing this weekend?

Well I am actually not too sure yet. I am definitely not going home for the weekend...propably go out with a friend tonight and I'll have to get some things sorted concerning my visa for Syria tomorrow...Yourself?
Btw. I just passed time (keeping myself from writing this stupid report)with some language training. I must admit that Norwegian really looks rather difficult to me (lots of vowels and little dots and stuff, although I might manage to remember the word Hjelp! Oh and then I was wondering, whether God sommer! (an easy one as well) is really such an important sentence as it's one of the first ones you'll find everywhere.
Anyway, I found a nice game to learn the Danish terms for fruits and I was quite good a that .

Sorry too leave before you get a chance at answering, but I just noticed the time...
I've really gotta go now...
See ya monday!

You barely managed too answer before me!
Don't have time look at it now though, I'm very sorry!
Right _now_ I am leaving!
Bye! Have a nice one!

We'll I am just about to leave as well!
God helg!
*hopes that is right as she put the sentence together herself...this is really strange they tell you what "Have a nice summer" means but no word on weekends, though you could use that far more often, tststs*
Anyway, hope you enjoy it!

So how was your week-end then?

Oh, allright I guess. I was flat out yesterday, as my foot was killing me...

What about you?

"God helg!" was absolutely and completely correct

*puts on Portishead, Portishead*

Ever tried Arnica, I used to get it for such things during my antroposophic time...

Weekend was nice, I went to the theater and when I got there I was very surprised to read that the play was Norwegian, Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler. It was quite a modern production and they put some beautiful music to it

Sounds great!

Arnica? What's that?

*wonders what "god helg" is in German*

I would say Schönes Wochenende.

Arnica is a plant/herb/flower...whatever. You get it as an ointment for bruises, sprains, basically everything as long as the skin is not broken. You also get it as tablets against such things and especially against shock, like after an accident. You can also make compressions with it. It's one of the antroposophic favourites I guess

Hmm. Maybe I'll try it!

So how was the play?
