I have been to Denmark 2 times ....went to lego land and around Copenhagen...it is a very nice place ....most of Scandinavia is pretty cool (or if you dont want to travel, visit wisconsin and you will see just about the same thing...which is why tons of swedes/danes/norwegians settled up there and minnesota).
Doesnt mean that bad things cant happen there, just less likely......

True, but we're in a good position for no nature disasters


Also, Leif Den Lykkelig, discovered America 500 years before that due you think did, that's why there's lots of Scandinavian buildings and such some places.

Still on Denmark huh? Never been then so I don't have much to say on it lol

Friday! Ya buddy!

So my laptop overheated last weekend and shut itself off so I got a cooler for it. It came in yesterday and wow has it made a HUGE difference. The internal fan used to run all the time, but I haven't heard it come on once since I put it on the cooler. Awesome.

A nice place to go is Lisbon, Portugal the water is nice and the ocean is beautiful. Waves there are great.

By the way my maturity can be summed up in this song

In between the lines, there's a lot of obscurity.
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity
If it's all right, then you're all wrong
But why bounce around to the same damn song?

You'd rather run when you can crawl

I know you know, That I'm not telling the truth.
I know you know, They just don't have any proof.

Embrace the deception, learn how to bend
Your worst inhibitions tend to psych you out in the end

I know you know
I know you know
I know you know

Hmm it would seems that there is a little tension now and then in this thread xD.

...I was almost going to write "I've never been in Europe" then I realized that I'm in my appartement in France ^^ (YES I FOUND IT !!!! ). France can get bad stroms and a lot of floods in some areas.

Hawaii...well the volcano on Hawaii isn't that dangerous by itself, but scientists believe that if a big eruption occurs, a landslide may happen which could cause a big tsunami that will hit the main island.
French Polynesia, like Hawaii is close to the center of the Pacific plate, so earthquakes are unlikely. However being so close to the equator, French Polynesia has a hurricane season (January-April) but except for 2010, the last big hurricane was around 1998... But if there is an earthquake around Chile, it can create a tsunami that can hit those islands.

Well I don't really suffer from the need to sleep...unfortunately...5 hours is all I need, 6 is good. Plus I sometime suffer from insomnia so...yeah Sleep doesn't really like me.

You know who else is back ? BUNNY !!!

Congrats Red! enjoy your new home away from home!

And yes azzer LOTS of people came to the americas LONG before Columbus--even the chinese are said to have been here in the low hundreds(400-600??)---(there is evidence of this with some ship anchors they found off one of our coasts)...the brits were here in about 1200-1300....and the norse were here even before that----so why columbus got the credit is waaaay beyond some of us.
(I saw a program on one of them history type channels about who actually 'discovered' america, heck there were natives here long before that as well---would they not have been the ones who REALLY did the discovering????????????) So CONQUERED would be a better term, or took over-----

Well a lot of people asked me that (since I have both nationalities). So at first the choice was Hawaii, but then some older members of my family told me "if you go there, we'll come live with you"...and well when you are around 20 it's not really the thing that you want. And then I found out some of my friends were going to France so, there I am xD.
I thought it would suck, but so far, it's been pretty good (although different than what I'm used to). I guess it depends on where you go (Paris = sucks, south of France = ). Haven't been to class yet. Saw some persons that were going to be in my class and well it would seem I got everything (from the bimbo to the geek without forgetting the goth and surfer).

France does suck. Not a fan of the lowly French. Hehehe, that is one of my favorite past times. Making fun of the French! Always good for a few laughs.

Anyway...

I might be going to France as part of a college trip. Disneyland Paris... hey, it's one step closer to seeing as much of the world as possible, isn't it? Granted, now I know just how much time I get off college I can start working on a planned callender throughout term and seek out jobs after a massive organisation of what I've got on my time.

My life is screwed up and the only way to do something is to bungee jump of a cliff without the chord!

I wanna go to Disneyland . Luckily a bunch of friends have apartments in Paris, so when I'll have a vacation, we'll go there ^^.

Oh come on, if you are able to post here, your life isn't that screwed up ^^.

Life isn't screwed up until the gift meets its end. A common philosophy I've adopted is, "Live life to it's fullest and make the most of what you've got while you've got it". Not going to apply to some people, and I know the feeling of being depressed all too well by now, but it's the attempt that helps; the chase is better than the catch, and that can apply to anyone, be it me being transgender and striving to get as much a female identity in others eyes as possible, one guy wanting to be the next Joe Satriani, another wanting to fly around the world in an aeroplane composed entirely of Pepsi bottles. Even if that last one is absurd and stupid. :3

Wow, that was pretty deep Tyla. Have you been boning up on your literature to become more profound? Though I will say flying around the world in an aeroplane from pepsi bottles sounds AWESOME. I'm in lol

I have never been to Disneyland or Disneyworld. My family has always been to busy to do something like that. Plus it is expensive.

been to disneyland 1973, disney world a few times (cant remember exactly since my sister, mom and now deceased brother in law all live(d) in florida)....been to epcot too.
went by tokyo disney on a train a few years ago---

cant go on any rides any more so going to 'amusement' parks is a waste of money for me....epcot was ok (it was only partially open when I was there--say 1980's)...have other places I would rather visit than those overpriced little kid traps-----

Agree it's expensive, but considering the cost cut (Well, I expect that it's cut) at about £210... it pretty much covers the hotel and travel there. Chances are that I won't touch rides though, they make me scared. I'd love to go to America more though; so many people I want to see, though chances are that costs will only get worse considering America is so... uh... what's the word, large? No, needs a bigger word.

And... not really, this is just how I've developed in English language. Soul searching, all that crap. Nice sorta peaceful feeling about it when you finish a writeup of "Hey guys, this is on my mind!" too, even if it does look like a big wall of text.

If you get a good deal it is probably worth going. But for me, amusement parks are just a crowded place with a bunch of crying children. No tahnks.

Soul searching? What was your soul searching for if I might be so bold as to inquire?
