Homework, Vacation, Stupid Ideas That Candy Is Enabling

[soc_puppet]

Quickly F'list, help me with my homework!

Latin America
Mexico
Guatemala
Nicaragua
Peru
Chile
Argentina
Ecuador
Bolivia
Costa Rica
Honduras
Colombia
Venezuela
El Salvador

Asia & Europe
Japan
South Korea
Hong Kong
Taiwan
Singapore
China

I need to pick three countries from each region and compare/contrast their economic status. I need to list the three primary exports from each country and try to "uncover trends or patterns" based on them. Knowing poverty rates, investment levels and educational spending good for the next question. I also need to know which are the wealthiest and poorest Asian and Latin American countries from those I picked.

Help would be appreciated, if you know any of this off the top of your head? Or at least helping me narrow down countries or something.

Comp II assignment is looking good so far. Managed to write a very informal outline for the paper, mostly by doing whatever the hell I wanted with it. And then it turned out I didn't even have to turn it in. Oh well. Still like summarizing the conclusion though.

Still kinda vaguely looking for InsaneJournal friend equivalents? Mine's over here, still not entirely sure what I'm going to be doing with it or when/if a move will occur.

Vacation/travel plans for the next year or so:
Thanksgiving in Texas (Houston area)
Anime Detour (March?)
Anime Central (May?)
GALA in Miami, Florida (June/July-ish?), one week(end?)
Anime Iowa

And that's all I know of for now.

A-also. I, uh, may be creating flistship_30 sometime in the near future. Because it suddenly occurred to me how shippable candy__chan and jeva_chan were. And then I was enabled. (SEE KEYWORDS, CANDY. SEE KEYWORDS.) S-so.

Thirty Themes for Candy/Jeva
Mississippi River
Travel
Fiction
In Real Life
North
South
Keyboard
Sunrise
Server
Fansubs

Dubbing
Not/Cute
Typos
Costume
Music Theory
Beta Reader
Fandom
Plot Device
Literary
Theater

Language
Lessons
Meta
Songfic
Driving
Write
Fanart
Canon
Friends List
LiveJournal

I may go through and tweak/pull from this for general flistship_30 themes, in the event that I go through with it.


To close a very scattered entry, have a meme I yoinked from ningen_demonai:
On my iPod, I'm going to make a playlist titled "FList". What I'm asking you guys to do is link me to one song - it can be your favorite song, your second favorite, etc, etc. But link me to a song you think I'd enjoy! And I'm gonna put all these songs on my flist and at a later point in time upload the entire playlist to share.

SO. LINK ME TO AWESOME MUSIC, FLIST. I HAVE FAITH IN YOU. ♥

And now I'm going to go let my brain rest for a little while.

Mexico's economy is like, 70+% dependent on US involvement. If that helps.

[soc_puppet]

It might be helpful? Either way, it's still interesting.

[sleepfighter.livejournal.com]

We either have transmigration--when a person works in one country, lives in both--or the import/export trade to do it. Mind, this is as of a few years ago, but I don't think the trend has changed that drastically.

[soc_puppet]

*takes notes*

[thedrisinu.livejournal.com]

Things to look for are the Mexican oil crisis and or the Zapatista rebellion if you're curious for more details.(look ma too lazy to switch |D)

[sleepfighter.livejournal.com]

a-also I'm lazy and my external is at home. (http://caffeinic.livejournal.com/260610.html?thread=1606914#t1606914)

[soc_puppet]

XD Not like I can talk.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

WHAT KEYWORDS WOULD THOSE BE?

[soc_puppet]

WHAT ARE YOU, LAZY? HOVER YOUR MOUSE OVER THE ICON AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF. I mean, uh. Y-you could always check my icons and guess?

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I didn't know that that's what you meant by keywords...and please to be explaining why you blame me??

[soc_puppet]

Oh, okay then. And that icon has always been your fault. I don't remember why anymore, but that's the way it is. In this case specifically though, you totally enabled me to write RPS fic about you and Jeva.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

...wow...how in the world did that happen? Please try and remember because I'd really like to know XD And I'm cautiously interested by this whole idea...I will reserve judgment until I see what you write >_>;;

[soc_puppet]

I'm sorry, I really really don't remember! DD: I'm pretty sure I was trying to get you to disenable me from something, but you didn't and were all like, "Just let your conscience be your guide 8D" or something, so I decided to make the icon. I don't even remember when I made it T-T *is also tired*

It'll probably be all light yuri/shoujo-ai/nearly-platonic? And then I'm going to end up making myself a banner with your default icons or something.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

*patpat* It's okay, it's okay! No panic! *is worn out and tired as well* But you've had that icon for quite a while, I think :)

Okay...let's see where this goes *thumbs up* I'd offer you a picture for the banner, but it would probably hurt people's eyes to look at, so the default icons idea is probably for the best.

[soc_puppet]

*feels better* Thank you ;_; ♥ I think I have too? So let's estimate it at about a year ago. And I'm pretty sure the conversation was either in your journal or Jeva's, but I'm not positive.

XD Okay then. I have pictures of you anyway ;) I just figured default icons would be more readily recognizable to the masses.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I can't remember either. But it's okay ^^

:D Pictures of me = people go blind ~_~ Icons are a lot more readily recognizable online, that is true.

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

I think it was in my LJ. I remember the conversation that's being talked about. >.>;;;

[soc_puppet]

That makes sense? *is much too lazy to dig it up*

[dreamingcanyon.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how you're thinking of narrowing down countries, so it's hard to suggest any particular ones. Have you checked the CIA World Factbook (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/)? It has a lot of basic info on demographics and economic situations in every country, plus rankings by various measures.

[soc_puppet]

I was mostly thinking along the lines of picking which countries other people suggested or could tell me about, since I have no real preference and there's no guidelines. That looks helpful, thanks ♥

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Clearly Candy and Jeva are the perfect pair - for one is a music teacher, and the other studies languages. Thus music in other languages! /lame.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

...why does everyone encourage this? *laugh*

[soc_puppet]

...Because it is cute and hilarious and almost even makes sense, even if it's not canon?

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I'm still trying to figure out how it makes sense when Jeva and I haven't actually met each other or anything...but eh, I'm all for non-canon, I suppose >_>;;

[soc_puppet]

Because you feed each other's brains and talk/hang out online a lot. It was only that last line of Jeva's in the post where I announced the 'shipping when I started actually thinking about it, and then it kinda mentally clicked.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

This so crazy...but I'm intrigued ^^ GO TO IT!

[soc_puppet]

XD Shall do!

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

It's Thursday night, I have one day of school left - I'm CRAZY. And very easily entertained.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

WHEEEEEE~!! Same here! How is school on your end? *luffs on the fellow teacher*

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Not bad! I really love my faculty and my kids have been pretty good. A lot of work though - I've barely written anything since we started last week. ;.; We had off today for the Jewish holiday, which was nice. :)

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Neat! I'm loving my job as well--it's fun ~♥♥♥ We've had one early out for heat, too!

[soc_puppet]

XD I'll have to incorporate that somewhere.

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

ET TU, LINN?!

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

[...] and the other studies languages

BADLY.

You forgot badly at the end there.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

You have to be better than me. :P

[magic-truth.livejournal.com]

It's not lame it works! Twoo Luv 4-ever!

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

See here |D (http://caffeinic.livejournal.com/260610.html?thread=1614338#t1614338)

[soc_puppet]

...CFUD-related what. *may have to steal for her general FST*

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

8D

OH YEAH, socchan socchan, did you see chap 621 for detective conan yet?! :DDD

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

... Owait, I forgot, you might not ship Shinichi x Ran, NEVER MIND. |D;

[soc_puppet]

*j-just about cracks up* I 'ship it, I 'ship it, no worries; I just... occasionally throw an extra character in there. Or ship crack pairings. Or both. At the same time, WTF brain. The important thing is, I don't anti-ship it ¦D

YES I DID I read it between class and anime club and and and eeeeeee! Me wants an Eisuke so bad D:

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

8DDD That's good!

Oh, Eisuke, you adorably very very attentive boy. ♥ Although wtf happened to Shinichi never telling anyone about his real form?

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

It's simple--if you want to know Shinichi's secret, just hit on Ran and WHAM! He comes clean! So theoretically, all Gin has to do is walk up to Ran and say, "So...you come here often?"

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahahahahahahh!!! XDDD

[soc_puppet]

Eisuke, Ran and Sonoko are so my DC/MK dork!trio of awesome-tastic. And I'm now slightly torn over whether I actually want them all at CFUD or not, because CFUD has formed its own dork!trio of awesome-tastic with Sonoko, Lina and Naesala.

Shin'ichi is stupid sometimes? He's already squealed to half the FBI and CIA so one more of them won't matter? Iunno, Shin'ichi-logic fails me a lot.

[magic-truth.livejournal.com]

Aren't they a cute trio? I want Eisuke to come back so they can keep on doing stuff together.

Gin's evil plan...but wouldn't it be fun if it was Vermouth disguised as Gin? Now that'd be something. Maybe Gin could be watching and he'd watch it play out. *imagines scene in head*

[soc_puppet]

I need to write and/or draw something with them. Just because they are awesome.

Hot damn, implied yuri :Dbbb

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

*totally posted nothing* (http://jeva-chan.livejournal.com/460767.html#cutid1)

... IT'S 4AM. I HAVE AN EXCUSE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. MY BRAIN IS DED. WHAT IS THIS INSANITY YOU SPEAK OF. SLEEP DEPRIVATION INSPIRES CRACK. LEMME ALONE. I HAVE GUMMIES AND VAULT AND I HAVE NO SCHOOL TOMORROW AND AND AND AND AND AND AND AND-- *falls over, sound asleep*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

...no excuse. At all. *slaps you with a slice of honey-baked ham*

(♥♥♥?)

[soc_puppet]

*totally did not copy-paste it for her own enjoyment/mocking later ♥*

YEAH WELL, IT WAS LATE AND I WAS TIRED, SO THERE. *pets the Jeva*

[lyzzle.livejournal.com]

This is me, officially enabling flistship_30. :Db

Also. Have some Suga Shikao: Phonoscope (http://www.mediafire.com/?fw1ywubdlln). I'm pretty much addicted to this song.

Aaaand some moar Gurren Lagann.
Episode 9: 1 (http://www.mediafire.com/?3ufy0pymdwi) - 2 (http://www.mediafire.com/?7jdtdxg43ab) - 3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?0m0x1bxj9ho)
Episode 10: 1 (http://www.mediafire.com/?60tm2b6hm2a) - 2 (http://www.mediafire.com/?9d4ozy6lsbg) - 3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?8mdjmzi3zon)

The rest will probably be uploaded on MegaUpload and Sendspace, alternating, like you asked. Know any other sites that allow larger uploads? None of the episodes are over 300 MB.

[soc_puppet]

*facepalms* You just want a place to write dorky Flist fic, don't you. *sighs and goes to create*

Huzzah, new music!


Harts for Lyzz!

Not off the top of my head, no :/ I'll take a look around?

[lyzzle.livejournal.com]

It would be awesome. :DDD

♥♥♥♥♥!
You have no idea how hard I'm pimping out this series to, like, all of my friends. Nobody's heard of it. D:

You don't have to! I was just wondering, because it would give me another outlet to alternate uploads to.

[soc_puppet]

D-done. *sigh*

^___^
Well, too bad for them, then!

Oh good. Less work for me, huzzah!
