Now now now. If this wasn't quite nassty chauvinism.

Aiaiai, I swear you're watching me extra closely when it comes to gender stereotypes. But, anyway, it's a pure fact that girls do generally better in school (at least in this country) and most of the people who have drama, dance or writing as a hobby are girls, so it's really no wonder. And also, I guess many boys don't apply to our school because they think it's such a "girly" school full of girls... (or then some of the guys apply just because of that... )

Okay, okay, well... but the way you formulated it before was quite bad.

But let's leave this and let the thread get back to its topic

Hey, it was you who got side-tracked in the first place...

Ahem, anyway, since we're speaking of it, I would assign getting side-tracked. Mostly it's just fun and often even more interesting than the original topic, but some people (mostly teachers) are horribly bad at it and if the subject they're supposed to be talking about is more interesting than the one they start rambling about, it can be rather frustrating... (I assure you I find the history of ancient Egypt far more interesting than the German translations of the guides in my history teacher's Egypt-trip sometime back in the 80s, for example... )

I assign the Epica Road to Paradiso photo sound book thing my dad got me as his pasalubong from the Netherlands. While I consider myself a very happy symphonic metal girl, all the text in the book are Dutch, and unfortunately I can't read it. Oh well, at least the album is in English! Yay!

I assign beans. They taste SO GOOD, but feel so bad.

As lal's signature once said "Beans, beans, the musical fruit."

I assign Yoshinoya. Very delicious beef gyudon! And at an affordable price, too--even cheaper than McDonalds, the amount of rice they serve! Only I have to ride a bus and two jeepneys to reach it from school or home. And I keep getting irritated by the fact that I can't figure out how to cook it, because I think some of the ingredients are things I can't find in my country.
