021208: The Jedi Census.

Ytd was the Big Panic Day.

I love HKY.
..anw, main pointof today's post is:



RWhat is your religion?: Jedi )

"In the 2001 UK Census 390,000 people listed their religion as Jedi Knight making it the fourth biggest belief in the country."

Also, this is interesting: an old article from The Times, in 2003, reads,

"Teachers have voted that no more faith schools should be set up, claiming that they cause social conflict.

The National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers agreed that it was an “inappropriate use of taxpayers’ money” to fund faith schools that, by their nature, had “exclusive and discriminatory philosophies”."


Myself, I can't say whether faith schools are directly related to social conflict (like, how the hell am I supposed to know!) and I figure if the faith wants to set up a school then whatever man, it's your choice, so long as you don't force people to go to it. Having the state fund the setting up these schools does seem rather biased, though - it appears that only the more 'conventional' and widely-accepted religions get this boon.

"Other delegates questioned why Jedi Knights— mentioned as a religion in the 2001 census — and Scientologists were not funded to start faith schools."

..if funding were left to the religion itself, I think the Jedi will never have a school.

uhh, not that it'd ever get state funding, anyway. XD

More on religion, less on schools. )

anyway I really, really, really, should go pack.

20012008

UM OKAY. Some points, of which a few are ones most people probably won't understand.

01. I hate stairs.
02. I like PE.
03. German is good, but I don't understand anything on MSN.
04. With help I have determined what Mittagspause, Abwesend, and various other German terms mean, anw.
05. People actually do send you songs when you announce (via MSN personal message) that you need songs.
06. WRT #5, thanks to chrisfang, brian and benkhoo, in that order. Sorry ben for not replying, niel was afk D:
07. NIEL. NOT NIAO.
08. YELLOW TWINART MARKER / HIGHLIGHTER. WHITE TIGER.
09. Look, I don't eat prata that often okay.
10. LIGHTNING PROTECTION TEST LINK. XIAO MEIMEI. JIEJIE.

Tonightless (Eighteen Visions), Pieces (Sum 41) and Tongue Tied (Faber Drive) are stuck in my head. WHERE DO ALL THESE SONGS COME FROM. HOW DO PEOPLE FIND OUT ABOUT THEM. I want to be visited by the magic owl too.

Um mario is not going to school tmr, but rabbit is. So is pullover, and homework.

Discussing CCA with OG/class/friends generally goes like this:

xxx-person: So, what CCA will you join?
niel: um, I'll probably join canoe? If I get in.
xxx-person: WTHECK/D:-face/O________O/SIAO/SERIOUS ARH/CANOE???
niel: er. yeah.
xxx-person: YOU KID/JOKES/D:
niel: ...
xxx-person: ... so. what are you really going to join?
niel: ... -_____________________________________________-

Yeah. And noone believes I'm in GB. Er yes because I AM BLACK I have been told that I look like a hockey player, a canoeist, a soccer player and an ODACian, in that order. When I do tell them I was in GB, I also tell them that there are five main squads, Admin, Worship, Recre, Drill and Publications, and I get them to guess which one I was in.

..No one, not one of them, guesses drill. Yeah. No one believes I was squad head and can actually command beyond BARIS SEDIA/SENANG DIRI/KELUAR BARIS.

My class is generally alright. No one that I dislike, so that's good. Still on the quiet side, though. NEVER FEAR, NICOLE'S HERE. For the uninformed, niel dislikes quiet-awkwardness. Quiet-quiet is alright, but when noone says anything like in our class because noone knows anyone yet, niel feels obliged to make noise. I think they already think I'm mad, more so that Psycho. ER I HOPE MY CLASS DOES THEIR PHYSICS PRAC.

More I could talk about, but everything is pretty disjointed now, and most of it everyone already knows about anyway!

HELLO TEAM I LOVE YOU. DINNER TMR?

THE ANSWER IS 42.

SEE NEXT POST FOR WHAT :DDD

Check here! )

from here, or just click on the image to get linked there. Thing's in German, though.

I wanted to pick a team under Fußball Bundesliga but I couldn't just pick one. Which, funnily enough, are two of the few german words I actually understood. Along with Bier and Kaffee, which I just kindof guessed at.

Speaking of soccer, I would be more WHOO SOCCER but I never bothered to, just the way I never bothered to go source for anime/manga and therefore have many many series I have never read, though I'd like to.

I need a team.

Perversely enough, I post more when the EYAs are around.

Note to self: get sock for handphone and socks for feet.
