Did I tell you about when I saw Mark Ruffalo in Prague?
It's a good story.

I feel kind of bad because everyone else is reverse culture shocking it up and wants to go back to France.
But then I think about it and it is okay that everyone else loved France and wants to go back.
I am more happy here than I have been since maybe November or before whenever leaving for France became real.
They can have all the France they want.
Because it sucked and I hated it.
I seriously am surprised when men don't yell at me, check me out or honk at me when they drive by. And that is not a good thing to be surprised about.
For clarification, when I was in the airport in France waiting for my plane wearing khakis that I'd slept in and an old comfy shirt, airport security guards clicked at me. It's this thing that French guys did. They clicked at girls like you would click at a cat or dog to make it come to you. When I was in Texas and wearing a shirt white dress with a tennis skirt that snapped in the front, a guy looked at me and moved on. Like a normal person.
I am so glad to be home.
Plus there are stores open later than 7 at night. And I understand everything people say.
Seriously, this is the best country in the world. And you know how I hate this country.
I just wish I had my car and my job.
I love you all and I am so happy to be home. Beyond happy.

ron paul for 2008?
most of the 2008 presidential candidates have profiles on myspace.com, so i was checking them out to see what their supposed intentions are and how they stand on some issues.
many of them didn't even have info. on their stances, but i did find someone who seemed to be logical, realistic, and committed to what the actual laws of this country are. he's a republican, but i agree with almost everything he claims to believe in. he seems to be the most common sense-type and the least infotainment-type who has to use hype to dog on other candidates instead of simply talking about himself and what matters for the country.
read what his stance is on issues here.
he mentions things that are really important, like privacy issues (patriot act, national ID cards, etc.), that other candidates don't.
i'd love for a woman to be president, simply for the symbolic victory it would represent, but if hilary is going to perpetuate the same crap of talk-to-appease-but-continue-corruption-and-militarization-of-the-country then it's not even worth it.
obama looked pretty good, but then he started talking about injecting faith into politics and the country... and i said see ya -- separation of state and religion no matter what.
john edwards also looks good for now, but i'd like to know more about where he stands on issues of privacy and civil rights for minorities and stuff.
any of you guys have any info on the candidates?

39 days, bitches!
I am so excited to come home!
So at the u here there are four or five levels of classes. At the beginning of the year, we took a placement test to get into a level. Most of us got in level 3 but two of us were placed in level 2. Anyway, the only test we have is at the end of the year. In France, doing well on the exam means getting 50 percent but at home, that transfers back as a D. On everything. So last year's group made a stink and this year, one of our professors here expressed concern for our sucess on the exam. She signed us up for level 2's exam so we could actually pass. I still have to take level 3 but they take the best grade you get anyway in the end.
So I am not worried.
Just waiting to come home.
I love you all.

"... one can only imagine the reaction of many Palestinians when an American president who has invaded two Muslim countries, whose budget calls for half a trillion dollars in military spending, and who defends torture and the detention of prisoners without trial, tells them to renounce violence and recognize the legitimacy of a country that is illegally occupying their land."

I am done with fucking France. I hate it here. I am ready to come home.
Oh and our wandering across Europe had us go to Budapest, Prague and Brussels. It was fun. And the weather is really nice.
But i just want to come home.
Oh and Kurt Vonnegut's death upset me. It made me think about Katti and Oliver and I just heard him on the radio before I left...
Then this school shooting. The world is falling apart while I am gone.
And why isn't anyone awake and on msn at 6 in the morning?
I want to come home.

hooray!
yesterday when i got home from school, my mom told me that the detroit police had just called because they'd recovered my car.
apparently they found it by accident... some cops were just driving around on their routine and happened to see a car that looked "out of place" for the particular area they were in, and it seemed suspicious. they followed the car, the thief didn't signal when he turned, so the cops were about to pull him over and checked the plates and - bam! - stolen vehicle. they pulled him over and arrested two guys: a 20 year old and a 22 year old. not WSU students.
they took my car to the detroit police impound lot, so my dad and i had to go down there to pick it up. that was an adventure in itself (reminiscent of trying to pick up brandy at the amtrak station across from white castle at 3:00am in detroit).
my car was pretty much okay. the steering column was busted (it was "tilt-wheeled" it, not hot-wired) and the driver's side door lock was broken. everything that had been neatly organized in the glovebox was strewn about on the floor of the car, but i'm pretty sure they left all of those things in tact. they stole the spare tire and wheel, my WSU parking permit, my sunglasses (and case), all of the change i had, my tire pressure gauge, and... some hand sanitizer.
they left a grocery bag in the backseat that contained toilet paper.
anyway, thank god(s) that i have my car back! and thanks to all you cats who sent good thoughts and wishes.
