I can understand why they taped the execution, I understand why they might want to show it around the world. I don't like it though. Not a bit. (that covers his execution, too - but then again I just don't feel that ANYONE, Suddam Hussein or otherwise, should have the right to take another...

It's a pilates exercise. It kinda looks like a "V" shape, and yes, it's painful >.< lol And you're welcome :) I haven't done pilates in a while, really want to get back into it though :( 'tis awesome for core stability, plus it's not as boring as doing situps over and over again :D (I get...

Technically, 'weight training' or anything like pilates or even some forms of yoga can help you 'lose weight'. Granted, it tends to be (for the most part) lower intensity than say, cardio, but you can still get some good results from it. Most people agree that a mixture of cardio and...

I reckon I'm one of them. God, the night before my eng adv HSC exam I was on the phone to a classmate, saying "So, I still don't get this. In 50 words or less, tell me everything I need to know about Hamlet..." / "Hey Mel, you remember that book we studied a few terms ago? Yeah... what was it...

lol. You seem quite character-based so far, which is somewhat like me. Apply this to yourself as you will. I like to 'verbalise' what I feel about my characters. I like to 'know' them, and to know what's going to happen to them and why. Sometimes though (several times in the middle, always...

^ That'll work if you're actually using your ab muscles. But it will do jack all if you're just breathing in and pushing your rib cage up :p It's a bit like giving an expensive pen to a kid and saying if they use it wisely, it will help them get a UAI of 100. Technically this is possible, but...

Hrmmm, weird, they kept on pull stuff out of thin air earlier this year (I picked up some great stuff in the first week of Jan). Has anyone checked up on DFO's? In terms of swimwear at myer, none of it's on sale so it all looks like it's on the racks lol (except for maybe stuff at Miss Shop?)

oh but the world is subjective :p who's to say what is so, and what is not? :p ooh, birdie has landed! bbl :D

DJ's is open till 10pm, I think. Maybe go there tonight? :D Last year, Myer and DJ sales carried on into January - it's unlikely they'll sell everything they want within the 3-4 trading days after christmas (let's also not forget they keep a lot of the good stuff in storage and only take it out...

^ I'm sure she says that. She says she writes at a cafe too. Yeah, whatever :p You know what writing is like, I know what writing is like, unless she parks herself there for like 12 hours at a time, several days a week, I don't think so :P To a certain extent all of us CAN "plot out" each...

lol! definately some funny things in there I thought a lot of the beginning stuff (about the other girls) was real though. Like, "what? Jaeda had a boob job? So what's she now, an F-cup or something?!"

^ None of that stuff happens at Hornsby Girls (nor most of the selectives I know, perhaps barring Ruse). Everyone's encouraged to do what they enjoy/are good at. there's a bit of a strong 'encouragement' to do EE1 (and Standard English isn't even offered as an option at the school), but...

a) true, b) technically true, but I'd work hard at it anyway. Thought most ee2ers hate Eng Adv with a passion, by the end of the year (mostly thanks to ee1 skills I think) most end up doing pretty well at it. So unless you're beautifully crash-hot at all your other subjects, I'd put effort...

Mentally, everything will "work out once I know what I'm doing" ;) Maybe it's a carry-on from all the non-creative writing things in our lives, where the general consensus is that if you follow the guidelines/recipe (ie know what you're doing in advance), and have all your ingredients ready...

The thing I have about the aussie version is that it seems 95% bitchiness, 5% modeling. Much as it makes for 'entertaining' tv, the substance level is significantly lower than that of ANTM :/ Will be interesting to see the new host, though.

Such a shame :( Estee Lauder has a good reputation, but they obviously screwed up with ingredients this time around :(

This sort of came up in the non-stretch jeans thread, wanted to get more opinions on it without overly hijacking the original post. :) Posts so far: Like, I understand if a black bra under a white top (sheer, or with cutouts or something?) looks good, or maybe the black bra is the last...

but what about black underwear under white clothing :/ Was talking to some americans about how they hated white bras being seen through white clothing, so they decided to go for black instead "because it's closer to skin colour than glaring white". Like, what the hell?!?!?! ^thread created for...

On a side note, if you do really well in everything but eng Adv and are doing 12 units, end adv could end up not being considered for your UAI anyway (remember - only 2 units of eng need to be factored in). :) And ditto that about eng adv being all over the place, one of my most hated HSC units :/

Hear ye, hear ye I present to you... The First Draft! It's not uncommon for people to stress about stuff like this. Heck, I even worry about what I'm going to wear on some days. I'll run through stuff in my head, and if none of it works I'll sit on my bed and rock back and forth about the...
