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

Nah the exam wasn't too bad. It had a fair range of easy to hard questions. There were about six questions I couldn't remember the answer to, and I really didn't enjoy the ones along the lines of "Discuss what it means for a language to be dynamically scoped versus lexically (statically) scoped."
But I think I passed anyway, so it's all good. I'm just glad it's over.

So tell me about the French dinner you had the other night? I had one of those once, at the French teacher's house. There was my french teacher, her husband, the french enchange student, and us three french language students. It was great, we had a full twelve course meal and spoke only in French the whole evening. Probably my best ever memory of anything school-related. I hope yours was just as good.

oooh... that does sound like a hard question.... sounds even worse than writing nearly 4 pages on how countries were more successful of becomming independent after 1945.
good thing from the history exam though i learned how to spell independent. i used to spell it independant.

yes! of course i'll tell you about my french dinner!
well.... i'm writing all about it in the letter i'm sending, but that wont be ready before you go i dont think. i suspect its going to be quite long.
so i'll tell you about it now, but i suspect there will be more detail in the letter.

i was the first person to arrive and we had the dinner out on my my french teachers porch. it was sunny and very pretty. there was some kind of rice salad, and a pasta salad, and a green salad.... leek or ham and cheese quiche. and i drank pink grapefruit juice.
there were some people that were there the whole time but others came late and left early. i had brought my year book with me so i got lots of people to sign it. i get confused you know... when people i have hardly talk to in all the time i've gone to school with them start talking to me like i'm their best friend..... i cant figure it out, but it just seems to happen in grade 12, i dont know why. i did have alot of fun, there was alot of laughing. we got to speak in english the whole time... which was kind of interesting because we never talk to our french teacher in english......
at one point one girl started yelling that annother girl had gotten engaged. it wasnt true. she had just been kidding, she did get a promise ring from her boyfriend, but they arent getting married. but it was quite funny.
eventually at about quarter after 10 i left with everyone else who was still left and went home. had the history test in the morning and wanted to get sleep. L was kind enough to drive me home, she lives near me. its strange you know..... i hardly ever talk to her... but now i have plans to get together with her this summer. it turns out we're both major trekkies. we sat there last night talking about movies, episodes, and we even recited the bit that patrick stewart says at the very beginning of the TNG episodes. really we sounded like such stereotypical trekies..."do you remember the episode when...." it was quite fun. so now we're going to get together and watch some of the episodes

so thats about it for the french thing....

how long will you be here?
do we have a little time to play with the castle?

oooh... question....... what are you up to now? have to decided? are you going to live with those friends? are you going to keep working? save up for canada? dont mind me... i'm just nosey, but i also care very much

I still can't spell independent properly. I only just managed to get the hang of 'received'!

Wow that sounds like it was a really nice dinner.

Unfortunately I have work this afternoon, so I really should be leaving in about twenty minutes. But tomorrow I'll be coming back to this part of town, so if I get up early enough maybe I'll stop by the uni and chat a little more.

After having seen Cade (New journal entry - haven't finished yet.) I'm more keen than ever to leave the country. He's given me the details of a couple of people overseas who are aparrantly keen on catching up with me, despite the fact I thought they would barely remember me.
He reckons I should go stay with his brother for a while in Melbourne - his brother is the butler for one of the five richest people in Australia, and lives in the oldest house in Melbourne... it's six or seven stories, and massive inside. Sounds sweet!

I've convinced Ilya to come overseas with me, so that way it won't be so scary. He's earning lots at the moment so won't have much trouble saving up. I need to get a second job so I can save properly, and I'll keep saving until I'm sick of the job, and then we'll go. Cade wants to meet us in Europe somewhere, he doesn't care where. I don't care where. And Ilya doesn't care where, as long as we don't go to Russia. Since he's a Russian citizen he can still get conscripted into the Russian army until he's about 28 or so, and he doesn't want to.
I'm still not sure if I want to go to Melbourne first, and work there for a bit to save up more money, or whether I want to go straight to Canada. To be honest I'm quite itchy to just go to Canada, but there's always the chance that I won't leave again, which means I miss out on seeing cool stuff in Europe if I don't go there first. So I'm not sure. It mainly depends on how much I save up before I get sick of the job, as to where I can afford to go first.

Anyway, back to the journal, otherwise I won't finish it today.

oh good! i dont feel so stupid now! and i cant spell received.... i always do it wrong. recieved i spell it...

awwww.... work... thats poopy. well text me tomorrow if you do come on and i'll try to be here for you
i sold my soul to my brother to get the computer today so that i could talk to you when it was his day..... so i dont know if he'll let me on. but i'll try.

yay! come to canada! see me! but do whats best for you.
and we will go and see europe one day, really.... i mean it. i want to go and theres no one i'd rather go with than you. so we'll go... its just a matter of time.

incase this is my last post to you for a while......
i love you, and take care of yourself.

I love you!

jerms darling!
good for you, read your journal and sounds like you've got a girlfriend now i'm glad. i want you to be happy
if all goes well and according to plan i should too fairly shortly.

just one thing........ promise not to forget me!?
you know me, just one of my fears...... i'm sure you wont..... but still.

i love you.
i've been texting you while i'm here visiting my grandparents. and i'm just at an internet cafe. so i thouhgt i should just drop you a line. i'll text you soon as i get back to the car though.

hugs! hope to talk to you soon!!!

ooh! and what has happened to your name!?
for a little there i was worried that you'd left us!

"...if all goes well and according to plan I should too fairly shortly." You might have a girlfriend soon? Cool! What's her name?

I couldn't forget you.
I hope you're well, and relaxing after your big adventures.

Hope you're on hootoo next time I come on - this place is too quiet at the moment.

Big hugs. I miss you. I'll let you know if I find a job and can put more money on my phone... maybe then I could call you. Cross fingers.

argh! just let me throw myself off a bridge now!
dont worry, i wont really.... but i cant believe that i missed talking to you!!!

i'm glad you couldnt forget me

no, whoops
i didnt mean i'd have a girlfriend, although i think you knew what i meant.
well no, i dont have a boyfriend now. nothing at all went according to plan. but the weirdest thing is..... well i dont know... for some reason i'm happy it didnt work out. its really odd.

good news though. i was sure i was going to be an old maid, but jobs agreed to marry me. on the one condition that i dont mind his having affairs with other women.
but i figure why not, it sure beats living all alone with a cat and knitting things for people i like. so now i can live with a friend and a cat and knitt things for people i like. although realistically speaking i wont actually marry job, obviously.

save me! theres something wrong! i've been happy for a week now!
it feels very odd.

and too quiet is right, i was expecting way more posts than i have.

letting me know if you find a job.... so you can put money on your phone..... now that could possibly explain why i get no texts from you. of course it could also just be that its glitchy and stupid.

oh! i had a dream about you last night! and it woke me up too. first i dreamed that you were on hootoo and i missed you(which seems to be true) and then later i dreamed that you were staying at my house and i was looking for you, but it was early in the morning and i'd only just woke up and i was laying in bed looking for you. but you know how it is when you first wake up early in the morning, its so hard to keep your eyes open...no matter how much you want them to they just seem to slide themselves shut. so then i swung my head around to look out my bedroom door into the hallway where for some reason i expected to see you, but it would seem that i woke myself up... because all of a sudden i was awake and staring at an empty hallway.
so i got up and came downstairs. so now i'm talking to JB. and posting on hootoo, and i'm thinking that i may start a letter to you

oh! i was thinking about the castle...
can we have a monkey puzzle tree please!? i may have asked that already.... i only remember asking about the arbutus trees though.

miss you!

Woah!! It's been a long time! I figured we could start this up again as you have internet again It seems to me that we need another master bedroom for me and two fantastic kids rooms

I'm so excited at the prospect of actually being in touch again Hopefully at some point we manage to be online at the same time!
