I'm starting to feel like a real scientist/engineer

I don't know, but I get so excited every time I post a comment on slashdot and it gets modded up. So when I posted a comment today and it got up to 5 (the highest), I was pretty just tickled.

I lurked at slashdot for so long before I finally decided to join (like uh, five years?), and it's probably for the better, because before, I didn't really have any unique experience to add, and I don't have very much now, but I do have some. It just makes me happy.

My host family served me french fries at lunch today. I was stoked. I also got plenty of laundry back today, so I'm also stoked about that. Now I just need to take a shower and my day will have been made complete.

And maybe if I could get a crack kind soul to pay $10 for coolbook so I can fiddle with blowing up my $1600 laptop that would be swell! ^_^

hide and seek

If you were a frenchy, would you have a scale?
If yes, where would you keep it? (your choices are: kitchen, closet, hallway, living room, music room, bathtub room, toilet room, bedroom, bedroom, stair landing, bedroom, master bedroom, bedroom, bedroom.)
If you had a girl that was probably anorexic in your house (very skinny, never eats, always being told to eat and ignoring it, red scars on her arms, black emo clothes), would you still have the scale?
Where could you hide it that the girl couldn't find it but the american host student who wants to know how this french food has been acting on her weight could?
