Dorky.

[rosephile]

My new roommate, aside from making us get rid of DirecTV in favor of Comcast (ewwww!, and no NFL Sunday Ticket *cry!*), listens to the retardedest music, COMPLETELY unashamed, because of his extremely dorky (he's unaware of said dorkiness) social skills. He's listening to that song "You Say" by Lisa Loeb now, for at least the third time. I mean, I like Lisa Loeb allright, but this is a GUY, who thinks he's manly. One of my first days here, he listened to that song "You're Beautiful", pretty loudly, for at least an hour straight, and after a short break, at least that long again. One time it was "California Girls" by the Beach Boys (I do like this song, but for fuck's sake, quit it with the repeating and loudness). Now there's some other female, a slow, either really old song or someone like a more commercial Norah Jones (more American Idol-ish) playing. His most-played song so far is definitely "You're Beautiful".

This is a straight guy. And like I said, he thinks he's manly.

You could look at it as though he's so comfortable with his sexuality that he just admits it that he likes those songs. ;)

It's really annoying when people play the same songs over and over and over again. I mean, really, there's a lot of good music. As good as "Stay" by Lisa Loeb is, she has many other wonderful songs.

He's waaay too comfortable with his sexuality. For example, he suggested that instead of the new Bond, whom he finds "too pretty", *he* should be Bond. Um. No. (haha!)

Haha, have fun! ;p

Remember the girl living in my dorm, who listens to the German Reggae song all the time? Yep. So, uhm, have fun ;o)

Hey, unrelated, but if you want to talk again on skype, let me know. That was cool (that it actually worked & stuff)!

Also, I started looking around at travel/au pair websites, but didn't find any for New Zealand or Australia. I found one for there, but they listed the countries you could be from and the US wasn't on the list(!). :( There were ones for European countries though, and South Africa, that could be interesting...the trick is that I'd have to be making enough money to still pay my rent back here (unless I put my things in storage instead & am homeless upon my return), AND, if I did it for longer than the summer, which most of the websites required, I could lose my health insurance and my student loans might stop being deferred. So it's probably not gonna happen. :/ What company did you go through?

Yeah, haha (uhm, sorry) - I remember that I noticed something about the US missing on some (all?) of those lists back then. What has your country done? Has there been anything between the US and NZ?

Well, I went through this company:

But it wasn't about earning money. So this (or the American version of it http://www.usexperiment.org) would be the wrong company for you.

But continue looking for something! Maybe you'll still find something.

Oh, and I totally want to talk on skype again... I'm just not sure when it will happen ;p
Oh, I got a new battery for Oskar - if that works and he's got sound again, I'll try to figure out, why it wasn't working.

Well, we haven't invaded them yet! Arg, I don't know what we did.

All right, I'll cross my fingers for Oskar. And I'll check out those links and stuff when I'm not tired and don't have House waiting and ready to go. :D
