okay I am still not over this spinning dancer thing. I have had the damn thing open for like a half hour now and it seriously only spins counter clockwise. WTF.

Oh... so sorry... maybe it's a curse Celine Dion put on you.

Try looking off to the side and only keeping it in your peripheal. That's the easiest way for me to get it to change. Or I just look at it and get it to change.

You know what though... I bet if you had two drunk people look at it and each one saw her going opposite directions, you could get them to fight over it.

I should of seen that coming.

LOL

Actually I guess my statement should be a bit broader, European girls are a different species. I find them to be more . . . I know I'm gonna get in trouble here . . . but just more interesting and worldy than American girls. There's many, many exceptions of course (I think I found one), but most of the girls I've met here in Chico have been a bit dense. Yes, maybe Chico's different than the rest of the States, but anyways . . . that's my thought on the issue right now. Also, Americans are more into possessions and social status, everything's taken to one extreme or the other (diet, clothing, whatever). And its kinda interesting when everything in Europe is so regional. A girl from Rheinland Falz (a state in Germany) does things a little different and has a little different viewpoint on her neighbors than a girl in Hessen (another state). I dunno . . . I'm confusing myself now.

I actually don't take offense to that because I think meeting someone from outside the US is often refreshing. There are a lot lot lot of political/cultural/whatever else diffferences between dating folks from our own neck of the woods vs. everywhere else in the world. I think it all comes down to personal preference.

I have dated European men before and have found them to be... more aggressive. Not in like an angry or negative way but in a way of pursuing a girl, they are more aggressive than American men, so sometimes that's nice, to feel pursued... but I also read in Cosmo (so we know it must be true) that there was a poll done and Americans tend to have/value monogamous relationships across the board... I'm sure this is centric to the age group polled and from where folks in EU were polled, but there you have it.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess!

why...can't....I....SLEEP!?!?
Seriously I have not been able to sleep for a few nights now. I may pick up some nytol tomorrow or look at natural sleeping aids.

You'd easily get a prescription for marijuana here in California. And from what I hear :D it works quite well for your problem.

But seriously, I can't believe how common these prescriptions are here now. Everyone has them. And if they don't have them, they know someone who does. There's advertisements for doctors that will prescribe it everywhere. Wild.

That is nothing. I can get crack about a block from where I am living in New Bedford - not that I ever haved.

**Legitikick** · 11-16-2007, 06:46 PM

But is it legal? (marijuana prescriptions still violate federal law though)

No. But it is easily available though. The police seem to be having a hard time.

**expatben** · 11-16-2007, 07:17 PM

well, when I said natural sleeping aids I was kinda thinking more of Valerian or something of that ilk as I do not do pot

I might check out the herbal store tomorrow and see what they recommend.

**lauren313** · 11-17-2007, 04:56 AM

If you go for Nytol Ben, don't get the herbal one, it does shit (well, for me, at least).

**aliz** · 11-17-2007, 05:16 AM

ooh get kava and bake muffins with it... makes you all happy and relaxed and sleepy.

just don't mix it with water and drink it all traditional-style. it tastes like dirt.

**lauren313** · 11-17-2007, 05:29 AM

Hah, we took part in one of the traditional kava ceremonies in Fiji, it was fun and all, but it tasted so rough.

**aliz** · 11-17-2007, 05:30 AM

muffins. they're the way to go, I'm telling ya

I don't know if you have ever seen the show Entourage on HBO, but they had an episode about that. Funny shit.
