My high school's first block started school at 8:00. I think it's a lot better comparing to a 7:30 start in my old middle school (or 7:00 sharp in Mexico).

I used to do some video editing. I'm not very good at it. I always wonder how you guys make it so awesome.

Sadly all I have to edit videos is Windows Movie Maker, and I don't need to tell you guys how flaky THAT program is...

Window Movie maker sucks as an AMV program. I use Sony Vegas pro 8.0 and is almost a pro at it. I just started using Adobe Premier and is already learning the basic of it. I'm trying to learn Adobe After Effects and man it's hard to use.

Ah yes...Sony Vegas...I should buy that, since this appears to be the latest thing:

I'm going to have to watch it when I get home. It looks pretty good though from the cover of the video. Sony Vegas would have to be one of the easiest program that I have used. Adobe Premier is pretty hard to use. Right now I'm trying to learn different effects to add to the clips. I at least know how to cut clips and do a few things with them.

I want to be able to study abroad if anything <3 17 years I've been alive and I've never been out of the states.

My mom and stepdad would completely support me if I decided to take some time off, too. My dad may be reluctant at first, but hopefully he'll also help in supporting me.

If your dad is anything like my dad, his biggest worry is going to be that if you don't go now, you won't go at all. I only took a semester off of college and that was one thing that he couldn't help but bring up every chance he got. From what I gathered, a lot of my family members and friends had that worry, since a lot of the time, when someone gets a chance at something like that, and they pass it up, they end up not going at all.
 
Yeah, I mean if people have the chance to go abroad, certainly take it.

And I don't mean to bring in the American stereotype, but having an American abroad and meeting foreigners could certainly alleviate their thoughts on how cool Americans can actually be.

When I was in Australia, the most foreigners I met were Germans, then Japanese, then misc. Asian then British, then Canadian. I think there were even a few more Swedish too. I had only met 4 Americans.
 
I would be such the stereotypical tourist, probably. I'd want to go everywhere and take pictures at even the most normal things |D I wouldn't try to strike up a convo. with everyone though, I'm too shy for that.

And my dad's biggest worry probably is me never going to college. But to be honest, I don't think I'll never go to college. It just seems too awesome.

College isn't just something to make your parents proud. It's about YOU making yourself and your family proud of your life for what you've achieved so far in life. Yeah, it does seem awesome, but it has more things than just plain-o awesome.
 
I think nothing makes a foreigner happy, when an American is actually informed about the country they are visiting. I remember talking to some Americans who didn't realise that as Canadians, we get a lot of the same kinds of products they do (brands and such).

I mean sure, it's small things, but it's great to know about things going on in the world. Chaser's war on everything is kinda the best example to use. >.> Though there is some good about being an American:

 
You have no idea how often that happens to me, as I like having foreign friends (y'know, expand knowledge), they thought I was tan.

Tan. I was freaking tanned.

As a Afro-American, I was insulted to a degree that's impossible to say how deep that was.
 
Yeah :3 It does work the other way around of course :3

Even the Australians relied on American humour of Canadians I think, once they found out I was. Simply because they didn't know too much. Though to be fair, most of them were able to guess that I was Canadian (or Canadian or American).

There's is comparable to New Zealand.
 
Y'know I want to visit Aussie, besides TV been studying up on it.

And I personally find it funny whenever an American says go back to your country.

Cause I don't have one, I have so many races in me home isn't certain, and last time I checked everyone in America came somewhere else.

Even Native Americans were from Asia!
 
As far as I'm concerned, so many "Caucasians" have "African" American blood in them it isn't even funny. And here they think they're pure Americans when really, they're not. There's no such thing as a "pure" American unless your ancestors originally lived there and ended up being called "Native" Americans because of it.

As far as I'm concerned, pretty much everyone in the US is an illegal alien.
 
I am a true, native Scandinavian! Eh, at least since the bronze ages. Actually, there is nothing that really is a native species anywhere, because then it would be, like, the ocean. If we're looking wayyy back.
 
I would totally link this one relevant thing from Brawl in the Family, but I still need 15 posts :<

/also Erik I asked to reserve something at your RP are you happy? :D
 
Actually I always liked how the Creationists put it. SOmething like we were all microbes and that it would be stupid to start out like that, making the children in teh audience laugh...

Ignorance at its best :3

You can't justify something by making assumptions without proper evidence after all... :3
