Ahh okay! I see. I find it interesting! And kinda funny!

GO CARDINALS!

Good!

Yeah for me too, it's really hard this year XD. I've already got my first midterm on Monday!

NICE! I LOVE the guitar in that one lucky you!

There was a poster sale at my university last week. Now I have 6 Muse posters

Hmm that's interesting to hear your view on it. I should really read up more on the subject!

That's so great, I'm glad you've had a good semester and time in Belgium!! I've been okay, really swamped with a lot of school. But I recently got offered an undergraduate research position at my university with one of my favourite profs, and the position might even mean going to do research at the Imperial College in London! I'd probably try to see other parts of Europe too; I have friends in Amsterdam who I can stay with, so hopefully I can at least hit there! The school is still not sure yet whether that part of the program will happen (since they need to find a prof and student in the UK and that would do an exchange) but it's a possibility!

Anyways, haha that's awesome that they love Vancouver so much! And glad to hear the internship went well!

Yeah the BC Lions didn't end up doing all that well... they got knocked out in the first round of the playoffs pretty badly, losing 50-17! The head coach was fired as well as some of the assistant coaches. This years team looks really different, so it'll be interesting to see how the season goes!

That's awesome, and that's a lot of countries! That's the cool thing about Europe; the US and Canada are HUGE compared to the countries there so I always find it amazing how you can drive from country to country to country in such short time! And all the countries have such different cultures and feels.

I don't watch Game of Thrones, but it's definitely popular. I think I would enjoy the plot of and the stories of the series but from what I've heard there's a lot of sex in the show and that doesn't appeal to me at all XD. I'm looking for a new show to watch so I'll check the Blacklist out!

Did you watch the last season of House of Cards?

I'm so sorry I've been so long! How have you been?!

Did they enjoy their time in Vancouver? If they stopped by Granville Island there is a chance I could have served them or something . How did your internship go?

Simon did get his number retired after all . And the banner that has his name and number at BC Place Stadium is right behind my seats! And yeah, all-time leading receiver for the CFL.

This season we've got a new team, Ottawa Red-Blacks (a pretty bad name if you ask me ) in the East, and Winnipeg switched over to the West so there are 5 teams in the West and 4 in the East. We're 4th in the West so far and the season is over in a few weeks - but because of the difference in number of teams between W/E, if our final record is better than the 3rd place in the East, we can do something called a crossover in the playoffs and take their place in the East Division Playoffs! We're right on pace for that, although Winnipeg who is in 5th is doing pretty well too, and the East teams are playing better now, so it's getting really close. The Grey Cup is in Vancouver again this year so we'll see what happens D:

How was Belgium? Or are you still there?

Breaking Bad was pretty great. Hank was a really good character! Yeah it didn't end well for him . Right now in terms of current shows I'm watching Supernatural, Modern Family, Flash, and American Horror Story. I just finished watching some older shows too, like Death Note - you should try it! If you are feeling like a dark, and very clever/smart show .

Don't worry about it! Sounds like you had a good school year, glad to hear

Thanks, and I'll let you know! For some reason I've also started collecting quarters with the states on them until I get them all. Thanks! Still... haven't gotten around to driving but I have played a bit of bass and also some drums! I'm sure your internship will go really well, that's awesome you have that

Ahh well hopefully they can figure things out soon. The CFL season hasn't started but Geroy Simon retired a few days ago! I'm sure that even though he didn't finish with the Lions, his number will still get retired.

Sounds great!

Yeah apparently I think they had 4 seasons and then got canceled on their network. But then a different thing funded them and they made 3 movies, which are considered the 5th season, and then they finished the series off with a few more seasons. Something like that. Since then I've watched Breaking Bad and now I'm starting on some new shows.

You must be done or close to being done now! I just finished my last exam on Thursday so now I'm free for the summertime. I'm going to be working at the bakery I was at last summer for the third time in a row; also probably going to learn how to drive (I know I'm really late in doing so...) and I might start learning the bass guitar. Not sure yet but those are some rough plans. I'm really looking forward to this summer. What about you?

How are they doing now? And how did the game you went to go? Hope it was fun!

I didn't know that you will be in Belgium! That's awesome! WOW!

No problem with that! I've never watched it before. I think George Takei is a voice at some point in that show though, that'd be funny to hear him . Right now I'm watching Futurama for the first time. Really enjoying that too; it's quite clever. I'm past season 4 now and into the movies.

Oh wow you do have a lot of school left! School has been crazy for me, which is why I've been so slow at responding, sorry! I've got 4 finals between the 12th and 17th of April and actual classes only just finished... most people have finals all the way to the end of April. This term went okay I guess, a lot harder than last term though. I enjoyed most of my classes overall although my "grade-booster" first year psych class turned out to be the opposite of that . Well good luck on your finals and any midterms you may have left!

How's the season going now? You must be excited! I didn't know your college made March Madness, that must've been awesome! Good for you guys.

Wow, you guys have surprisingly gotten so much more snow than we have. We had maybe two weekends of snow, spaced weeks/months apart... and it melted pretty quickly! Glad to hear spring break was nice

House of Cards was awesome! I know Frank is horrible but he's the guy I'm cheering for . I felt really sorry for Peter.

I know what you mean! Things are so busy right now for me too. But school is probably ending pretty soon for you, right? Good luck on all your exams and papers!

Baseball is always something to look forward to! Ahaha I see what you mean, you're right. I remember when the Lions played the Western Final and all the sports analysts were picking them to win... and you can probably guess who one in the end.

Sounds like you do deserve the break! Any plans so far? We've only had two weekends of snow in months, and it never stuck around for long. It's crazy how much snow you guys have been getting from what I've heard.

I just started watching House of Cards on Saturday... and I'm into season 2 now . It's VERY good and Kevin Spacey is amazing. Frank does so many horrible things but I keep wanting him to succeed... D:

I was able to find them! And they were very surprised. I've gone back several times since then, especially a few times over reading break since I had such a lighter schedule. They're probably sick of seeing me BUT I would say I'm a respectful fan and they do recognize that.

Same with me, actually! I would've dropped 2 courses (!!) but that would've put me just under the 30 credit limit allowed by my degree. Still, dropping one course made a huge difference thank goodness! I hope things have settled down a bit for you!

Well judging by their record it sounds like they've been getting better? I would be optimistic too! I remember the Hamilton Tiger Cats for several years kept placing last... going 3-15 and similar records... and they gradually got better and made it all the way to the Grey Cup last year! They didn't win but still, I'm sure the Rams will gradually get better!

I just want this term to be over already I miss breaks too much. It's weird because weekends are my days to catch up on sleep so I sleep in... a lot... . Whoa nice, 4 day weekend! We haven't had snow since November I think.

I've heard it's so good! I'd love to watch it eventually. The rest of family is watching it and I'm all left out! I'm almost caught up on Psych though - nearly done season 6!

AHHH on Friday I found Supernatural filming again and the actors came and took a picture with us fans! And I shook their hands and told them so many thank-you's and they thanked us back and were so lovely! And then the guy in charge of locations, who recognizes me since I go to set so often said that if I can find them on Tuesday, I will get something that only the cast and crew of Supernatural have . I really really want to find them... but the chances are so slim... it's so hard!

The picture is here: http://sunshine-chinaline.tumblr.com/image/75229511021. I'm in the scarf and converse shoes standing next to the girl with the green jacket

I'm very late in saying so but thank you!!!

School's been so busy for me. How about for you? I've actually decided to drop a course for the first time. It's going to mean I do my degree in 5 years instead of 4 now. Oh well, I'd rather get better grades and understand what I'm learning than make a race out of it and just be able to say I did it in 4...

It sounds like a better season that last year, though, for the Rams! And it's good that they showed they could win against good teams, that's promising. Yeah it's weird, that's happened before, about being able to win against good teams and losing against weaker ones. Hope the quarterback is better now.

I started school in the first week of January. Winter break was really low-key and I really miss it . Lots of nice dinners, sleeping in, playing games with friends.... it was nice! How was yours?

X-Files! That's on my list to watch since Supernatural makes so many references to it, and it's such a cult classic! Doctor Who... I've seen a few bits of episodes but never really got into it. But man is it popular. I hope you like it!

Merry Christmas!

Wow those do sound pretty big! Glad to hear you think they are positive. Yeah the Lions didn't make it to the final, but they played the eventual winners on the way and actually gave them a lot more competition than the Eastern division finalists. I think this year was the third year in a row the cup was won by the home team! Next year the Grey Cup is back in BC so who knows, that trend could continue

Nice, good luck on that one! I've got just one more exam too, Math, on Tuesday. WE'RE SO CLOSE!

Oh my gosh, that's crazy! That's never happened to me that I can remember. Glad to hear about the exam changeup

Good! Sounds like you've got a lot to look forward to

I've heard a bit about that, yeah. You're correct, Stephen Harper is our Prime Minister.

DO IT. DO IT DO IT DO IT.

Ahh I've watched a few episodes of Parks and Rec!

I'm almost into season 5 of Psych! And the guy who plays Lassie is in an upcoming Supernatural episode

Aww no! Yeah I can imagine, they really got close. I'm glad things are looking good for next year at least.

Lions are doing decently; sometimes they look amazing in game and sometimes they just stink. You're right; the Grey Cup is soon! We're in the Western Semi-Final this weekend and we'll have family over to watch with us. Really excited for the game!

Glad to hear! . Good luck on your exams! I've got two more midterms left and then finals starting in a month.

Ahh yeah that's right, you've got Thanksgiving soon. Sometimes I'm watching an American channel and I see an advertisement for turkey/Thanksgiving dinner and I get confused because ours already happened . This term has gone so fast!

Ahh sorry to hear that...

I'm not too much of a fan of our Prime Minister.

It's from the show Supernatural . The car is Dean Winchester's Impala (his Baby ;D) and the pentagram is a devil's trap for trapping demons. Thanksgiving was really nice! I always love the food and company.

Never heard of her but it sounds like I should look her up then!

Ahh the playoffs! I see that they're 3-2 in the best-of-seven against LA? How do you think they are playing?

I've had three so far; two today. They're going okay, I think. I hope . I think my studying is paying off though; I feel a lot more confident in some courses than I was a few days ago. This year is a lot harder than last year. How did yours go?

Awesome that they're spread out

Yeah I heard about that. I was wondering how that would affect Canada. I'm glad they've finally reached a deal today.

I carved a pumpkin this weekend . It's kind of a tradition for all the "kids" of the family to carve one when family comes over for Thanksgiving dinner! (I think I get the most into it )

Bonne fête! Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday!

*sneak in*

We posted at the exact same time on the top 3 bands thread...

*sneak out*

Tu seras incroyable si tu apprends le français, anglais, japonais, et russe!

Il est difficile pour apprendre le japonais et français, mais c’est OK.

Mon personnage préféré dans Death Note est L aussi, et j’aime Matsuda parce qu’il est drôle est très innocent… Et pour Muse, aussi j'hésite fortement entre Matt et Dom (et oui, j’adore Chris...). Mon préféré est probablement Matt parce que… je pense qu’il et moi sont semblables… par exemple, nous aimons les mêmes bands, et l’espace extra-atmosphérique, les UFOs, conspirations, etc…. et nous sommes un peu fous ! Je continuerais…. Bref, j’admire Matt.

Sorry, I meant: instead of writing "préféré", I wrote "prefere" (without the accents)...

Mon album prefere est Absolution aussi! Et deuxieme: Origin Of Symmetry. Peut-etre dans le futur je serai totalement bilingue... ou trilingue... j'etudie le japonais aussi, parce-que je suis un demi-japonais (...half japanese?...) et j'aime regarder Naruto et Death Note en japonais. Qui est ta personne favorie de Death Note?... et de Muse?

(sorry, no accents...)

Excuse-moi, s’il te plait – j’étudie le français à l’école. Je vais faire beaucoup des fautes … mais, c’est bon pour la pratique! J’habite à Vancouver. Je suis allée à Montréal, et j’ai visité La Ronde – j’adore les montagnes russes ! Les Alouettes de Montréal sont une très bonne équipe de football. Est-ce que tu aime le football ou le hockey?

J’aime beaucoup Exo-Politics et Bliss aussi! Je d’accord, la chanson préférée… c’est un choix difficile. Quel est ton album préféré?

Cool how your Dad introduced you to Muse!

Yes, Muse are awesome! What is your favourite song?

and... parlez-vous en francais?

I have no idea what to expect about this movie... hopefully it'll be really good!

I found out about Muse from my cousin, and then I looked them up and listened to Apocalypse Please. Then I fell in love!

Apocalypse Please might be my favourite song, too. Ever.

What about you?

Yeah, it's an American version of the japanese death note movies. It's on wikipedia...

I haven't seen the Japanese movies, though!

L rock = Lee Rock yes

After L... left... it just wasn't the same. I don't know how I feel about the ending of the manga - I always cheered for L, but with Light against Mello and Near, I kinda wished Light had won. But that would never have worked.

I love Death Note too! My favourite is L. Near and Mello could never come close to him! (plus they're really annoying...). I like Matsuda, too.

Have you ever watched the anime or Japanese movies? There's a North American Death Note movie maybe coming out next year! It sounds interesting...

Yay for a fellow Naruto fan!! I love it too. My favourite character is Rock Lee and then Might Guy is my second

I have almost all the manga. Do you read it online? Chapter 511 comes out on thursday, on manga stream!!

Yes, I like Naruto a lot!

What about you?
