And I've got another con for doing a gap year - I'll miss all the 18th birthdays that are next year. I'm probably going to miss most of the ones this year because of HSC etc, so if I miss all the ones next year too, I'll basically miss all. And this flood of 18th birthdays only happen once in your life right?
Seriously, being endowed with all these choices ain't always a good thing. I mean, after I decide whether to go or not, I still have to decide when to go; either mid-December or mid-January. Thing is, my Dad is planning to go to Japan in December [he claims it gets too cold during January - He clearly knows how to bribe me]. At least it means I'll get back in time for New Years Eve [I really don't want to spend another NYE on a plane, even if it was for Paris] and right now, it seems that a lot of people are going to be in China during then, or at least enough people so I won't spend it watching fireworks on tv at home.
I think its better than staying in Sydney and just lazing around getting fat.
And this has got to be one of the funniest eavesdropped-quote EVER, from overheard in NY: First man: So after Cain killed Abel he was sent from exile and went up Europe way. Second man: Not Asia? First man: No, the Caucus mountains... that's up Europe way. Second man: Oh, you mean like Turkey. First man: And since black people don't like the cold, Cain went to live in a cave and started to grow and was the first caveman. Now at that time there was dinosaurs but they weren't really dinosaurs, we call them dinosaurs but that's just how God made animals, you know, until you start messin with the DNA of 'em. Second man: Oh! First man: Then Cain met his sister and they had a baby together but since Cain was cursed for being the first murderer their baby came out an obino. Second man: An obino? First man: Yeah, a red-headed blue-eyed obino and that's where white people come from. Then they went to the north pole and you know it's light there six months and it's dark there six months and the wind is always blowing and that's where Asian people come from. That's why they eyes is like that because the wind was always blowin in they faces.
That seems like THE bridging story between the Bible and logic that I was looking for lol.
