  • Thanks, I'm just glad the DS isn't motion sensitive. I don't have to worry about players shaking the DS. You know.... I'm scared of earthquakes.
    Trust me, I think you'd be much more likely to get sick on a roller coaster! XD The ships are so big that you can hardly tell they're moving most of the time.

    Yeah...but lol, I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, too! Turkey and dressing is one of my favorite meals. I don't normally eat a whole lot, but holy cow I'm gonna stuff myself when the 27th rolls around. XD Yay for good ol' southern cooking.
    Yeah. Its a good place to live :)
    Although I will probably move somewhere else after I graduate this year and go to college.
    Oh, I think you'd love a cruise! It's the best way to travel, in my opinion.

    I was like that the first time I rode a REALLY tall roller coaster called the "Titan" with one of my friends. We thought we were committing suicide at first, but we ended up riding it 4 more times. XD They're not so scary once you get used to them!

    ROFL, I've never heard of a church going to such extremes on Halloween. That would scare me, too! I wasn't able to do anything this year except go to a haunted house with my brothers. One of our neighbors set it up, and they did a really good job. We had fun. XD
    I've seen dolphins, but only in an aquarium. They were my favourite animals, too, for a couple of years. Now I like cats, guinea pigs and wallabies the most :laugh: Whenever I go into a zoo, I just stay by the wallabies so long my mom and brothers all get angry at me xD
    And when it comes to the ocean, I don't know if the Baltic Sea counts as one, when it's only about 65 meters (about 214 feet) deep and also pretty small, but it's a sea all right and I can see it from my window ^-^ Iäve never lived in a place that didn't have sea nearby, so I can't really imagine what's that like. Oh, and I've also seen the Atlantic ocean, twice! I've even swam in it. It was pretty cool with the big waves and all, but I dislike the way salt water makes your skin all sticky.

    Oh yes they did. And also, I've heard of people who think we have polar bears in Finland. And not only that: they think we have polar bears in Helsinki! My grandpa's sister, who lives in Salt Lake City, had a friend who thought there were polar bears in Helsinki. Then, one time when the said sister of my grandpa was visiting Finland, she got a cup with a picture of a polar bear on it from an ice cream bar. So, she took the cup with her to Salt Lake City and gave it to her friend as a present... I think that poor woman still thinks there are polar bears in Finland. ^-^''
    But you knew it excisted! Yay for that, really! I know people who had never heard about this place ever and thought it's like in Michigan or something...

    We really don't have chipmunks! We have squirrels, though, but they're a bit more red and a tad smaller than their American couterparts. Also our sparrows are a lot smaller that your sparrows. I don't know why, really... But the only animals I see regularly are birds, pet dogs and cats. Even more so because we have a dog and two cats. Sometimes when we go to my grandparents' summer house, I see mice, frogs and tiny lizards also. When I was a kid, I used to try to catch those lizards... Occasionally I even actually caught one :laugh: There are also foxes and badgers around that summer house, but I've only seen a fox once and never a badger that was alive. So, not very much wildlife around here. There should be more in Lapland and Central Finland, tho.
    I only skipped school because i have off tomorrow and Friday, and I had off yesterday because of election day
    For me, Nothing much.. I heard some Phoenix Wright Fans made a Musical. School has been getting to me though.
    What did you know about Finland? I'm suprised you had heard of it, many people don't :D Yay for you! *claps*

    I've been to USA once! I visited my mom's aunt who lives in a small town near Boston. Her daugher (my mom's cousin) had her wedding then, that's why we flew over... But I was there only for a week. I enjoyed it, though. USA is a really cool coutry, I felt like I was in a movie :laugh: I disliked all that sitting in a boiling hot car, though. I never liked cars in the first place and when it's 90F inside them, I can't think of a worse place. (90F was what the car thermometer said the temperature was. I wouldn't know, since I can't use Farenheit degrees. We use Celsius here so I have no idea how hot 90F is supposed to be :laugh: ) Oh, and I saw a chipmunk. We don't have those here, so I was thrilled ^-^ besides, sodas are a lot better there than in here.
    Actually, by the way, Finland is bilingual. Our second language is Swedish, but not that we all speak it very well. I, for one, never had the interests to learn it very well. I can understand it, though. It's an official language here because there are so many native Swedish speakers living in Finland. After all, we were a part of Sweden once. And then a part of Russia. We got our intependence just before Russia became the Soviet Union, so we're not the oldest of intependent countries :laugh:

    And I don't think that English is hard at all. I've been studying it since I was really small and when about half of the shows on TV are in English (subtitled, of course, but we only dub children's shows), it's not really that hard to learn the language. Besides, in our schools, we have to start studying our first language when we're on third grade (about 9 years old). Finnish really isn't useful in any other place of the world so our school system (and society overall) encourages us to study other languages. Practically every Finnish kid has to study three languages: Finnish, Swedish and English. So, I'm not really that smart... I've studied French and Japanese, though, and that's not something most people do. Well, French is pretty popular here.
    But yeah, all of us study English, so don't overestimate me ^-^'' I've understood that studying other languages isn't a very big deal in USA, UK and Australia, for instance. So, I think one's ability to learn new languages depends greatly on their pattern of thoughts. We are told we have to learn, so we learn. You don't have to, so... you don't :D Finland is a small country, as I said before, so we really need to know other languages.

    By the way, just out of curiousity, had you ever heard of Finland before you first spoke to me? :D
    Actually, it's not a manga, it's a... a book with pictures :D You can look up "light novel" from Wikipedia, because I can't really explain very well. And I know they've started publishing Haruhi light novels in USA now, so maybe you'll find them somewhere, too. I have no hope for now... You know, however small your town might be, it's still a lot better manga- and animewise than living in Finland. We're a small country with a small capital (only half a million people here in Helsinki) and on this planet only we speak Finnish. That makes about 5 million native Finnish speakers, so we're not exactly the main target for manga publishers like Wiz or Tokyo Pop. Heck, we're not the main target for any publishers, except finnish ones. :laugh:
    My only option for now is to read illegally from the internet until I can get my hands on the real thing. I don't want to steal stuff from great mangakas so I really want to pay for anything good I find. Currently I have my mind on buying the first volume of Lovely Complex, which I concider as a great manga...

    A job would indeed be nice, but I think I'll have to wait until I'm 18 :D The law says I can't have a full-time job before that, nor can I handle money where I work. So, no cashier jobs for me yet... -_-
