hahah~ nah, i'm not too confident to produce like serious art work that's not really human-involved XD; i'm still weak in a lot of stuff and considering that i hardly go on much these days (or get to use the computer much these days), i end up not having enough time to really focus much in the learning TAT;; b00. i know.

and yeah, i know~ the work isn't so hard, but it's not too bad. i know i could get more money with some sort of office job, but i'm just not so much for that whole desk job thing, i guess. i don't mind using online/computers, but i think i'd be a bit too antsy and would get bored fast. at least the teaching gig i'm doing (teaching business english) isn't too bad. my students are quite funny and i enjoy it XD;

traffic jam is horrible here @___@;; if i'm lucky, i can get to work within 1.5 hours lol. the place really isn't so far away. it takes me longer to get home sometimes since it's also the same time as everyone else's time to leave work, too haha. oh, well. not so bad :] i have enough to pay the bills and stuff, so can't complain too much XD;

i'd imagine german would be more strict in terms of the rules thing @__@; but sounds complicated~~~ hahaha~ i want to learn a language, but somehow i feel that it would be kind of pointless to learn it without anyone to practice it with, especially, in terms of the speaking and stuff ;___; a lot of my students feel that way actually about learning english. they really want to get into it, but they get so discouraged when they think of the fact that once the term is over, they won't really have anyone else to practice their english speaking skills with ^^;;;

Fun things to do while driving:

Drive off an exit ramp, ask for directions to the town you're in. When they tell you you're there, look confused, glance at your map, laugh, and exclaim, "Oh! Wrong state!"

Haha, thanks for the compliment about the 'sezziness'. Also; double the thanks for the comments about my work! Thank you. You know, I don't think you give enough credit to yourself of your abilities. I reckon you could pump out far more impressive concepts than I ever could if you just BELIEVVVEEEDDD IN YOURSELF! [I see a Disney film in the making.]

It's good to hear I'm not the only person who thought The Dark Knight was flawless. It really is a shame Ledger is dead, though- he had such a great acting range.

Uch, working eh? I know it's hard, but keep your chin up. I'm surprised that it takes you that long to get to work, though! The traffic sounds like the horrible jams we have here in Ireland.

Yeah, German is all about gender identification and stuff. Not only do they have he/she, they have it/that/you/you[crowd]/you[formal]/them/ etc. Everything is classified by its gender [feminine, masculine and neuter]. To be honest, the grammar is sort of like a more streamlined version of English grammar. German is all about rules, but the rules can be learnt off unlike English which is all about breaking rules, really!

It's a cool language. I'd recommend it!
