Homework, Vacation, Stupid Ideas That Candy Is Enabling

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 [livejournal.com profile] flistship_30 sometime in the near future. Because it suddenly occurred to me how shippable [livejournal.com profile] candy__chan and [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] flistship_30 themes, in the event that I go through with it.


To close a very scattered entry, have a meme I yoinked from [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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.

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)

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

WHAT KEYWORDS WOULD THOSE BE?

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't know that that's what you meant by keywords...and please to be explaining why you blame me??

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
...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 >_>;;

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
*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.

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
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.

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

[identity profile] dreamingcanyon.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
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.

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.

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
...why does everyone encourage this? *laugh*

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
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 >_>;;

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
This so crazy...but I'm intrigued ^^ GO TO IT!

[identity profile] bard-linn.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
It's Thursday night, I have one day of school left - I'm CRAZY. And very easily entertained.

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
WHEEEEEE~!! Same here! How is school on your end? *luffs on the fellow teacher*

[identity profile] bard-linn.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
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. :)

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Neat! I'm loving my job as well--it's fun ~♥♥♥ We've had one early out for heat, too!

[identity profile] jeva-chan.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
[...] and the other studies languages

BADLY.

You forgot badly at the end there.

[identity profile] bard-linn.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
You have to be better than me. :P

[identity profile] magic-truth.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not lame it works! Twoo Luv 4-ever!

8D

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

[identity profile] ningen-demonai.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
... Owait, I forgot, you might not ship Shinichi x Ran, NEVER MIND. |D;

[identity profile] ningen-demonai.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
8DDD That's good!

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

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
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?"

[identity profile] ningen-demonai.livejournal.com 2007-09-15 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Ahahahahahahahahahh!!! XDDD

[identity profile] magic-truth.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
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*

*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*

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
...no excuse. At all. *slaps you with a slice of honey-baked ham*

This is me, officially enabling [livejournal.com profile] 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.

[identity profile] lyzzle.livejournal.com 2007-09-14 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
