Hello all! I've been offline for a while [mainly due to exams that i begin writing on monday <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />], and thought i'd catch up on the thousands of threads that i have missed. to my horror, i logged on and found that the photo on the left of the screen in all my posts had dissapeared! I had a nice image of my Alter ego (fat fluffy grumpy white cat, sprawled out on a couch watching tv with the remote in one hand and a beer in the other hand, which is the complete opposite of me - thats why i liked it <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />). alas, linky-no-worky any more, i can't find that image anywhere! so i decided to link a real photo that truly represents me. notice how i have physically and mentally adapted for TEOTWAWKI: - extremely hairy (no more hassles for warmth and shelter)
- long-term food supplie (unfortunatly i forget where it all is)
- ferocious teeth (the TSA confiscated my leatherman and RSK1)
- bushy tail (to make a nice soft landing when the force of nearby exploding neclear bombs knocks me over)
- elongated snout (who needs a straw to reach water in little seeps in the ground?)
- extremely large eyes (adapted to viewing computer moniters as a result of an addiction to ETS <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />)
- and of course, my dextrous hands and highly developed brain function to sort everything else out!
anyway, have a great day, and enjoy the olympics!

WOFT:
Do you have a sister in Wisconsin, as the picture looks a lot like a girl I used to date (Hey! it was after bar and you know everyone looks pretty at 2:00 in the morning when you're drunk out of your mind.).

Hey Woft,
I thought you guys were going to stop over at my place in NYC over the summer.
Good to see you back.
Matt

yes, that must be her you met - we sent her away, hoping she was just an ugly duckling. she never turned into a swan, so we left her there <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

good luck with the your exame's. I have finished highschool almost 2 months ago and i will start at The Hague univesity in about 2 weeks, studying "intergrale veiligheidskunde". That a education for all kinds of safety things and i blame most of you for that ! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hey Tjin
Are you studying " Intergrated safety studies"? Thats at least what it means in Afrikaans (my second language).
I am writing "mock exams" starting on moday. Then i have a 2 week (study) break and begin finals, which finish towards the end of november. I then travel around europe and HOPEFULLY USA (thanks Matt <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />) for a year. I want to study medicine when i get back, but it all depends on how well i do in these exams. the pressure is on...

"Intergrated safety studies" i guess you can translate it that way. I just couldn't really think how to correctly translate the "-kunde" part, you could !
much luck with your exames, can't give you wise advise, i have never studied so little and so bad for mine final exames, than much less importent exames. Thats what happends wenn you made the final exames of previous years many many times at school and i just happend to be on a school that teaches us to a much higher level than others. All mine grade for mine finals where better than mine average school exames grade's, though...

They rotate, but that is only due to the nervous twitch developed over many years of burying nuts, getting hurt in the process, and then forgetting where they are!
[for those who don't really follow the topic, go see the animated movie "Ice Age". this little guy is called "Scrat"]
