1. Lucky you! I lived in California, but wasn't born there.
2. I only went to 3.
26. You should, it's a beautiful language with a rich literary and philosophical tradition. It's also an increasingly important language to know in the west, and would probably be an asset on any resume. Learning another language is a full time job, though, so you should be really serious and make sure you have enough time before you start. Why do want to learn Arabic, if I may ask? [I unfortunately don't speak Arabic, and it's a constant source of frustration, but it's one of the things I intend to do in this new year which is coming upon us]
28. If you want to learn Arabic you could also consider somewhere in the Arab world (and you could combine it with Turkey - Istanbul, I hear, is not to be missed).
29. I had to google that to know what you were talking about.
31. Interesting, why's that? It is perhaps indicative of your current religious state that you've chosen the most secular book in the Bible and one of the only two which doesn't mention God.
37. Ambitious!
46. I hope you live in it, then. When I was thirteen and longing to get away from where I was I would set my clock to the local time in my desired destination. But don't do that, it's weird and I grew out of it.
47. Read more, and watch youtube less. There are so many mindless distractions these days which interfere with more important things.
49. I can't even be bothered to google at this point.
50. Oh yes it is!
64. I hope you lose graciously.
65. I once lost a game of Scrabble to my nine-year-old cousin. That was embarrassing. But it's not fair as our aunt and grandmother were helping him.
66. I like their song "A Freak", don't really know anything else so can't judge if they're actually good or hip poseurs. The lead singer's kinda cute.
67. The song or the actual commas?
68. I love roller coasters but there's a dearth of good ones where I live.
73. This is one of the funniest sentences I've read in a while. I mean that positively. Are you the heir to a cookie empire or do you just really like cookies?
I think Arabic is beautiful and useful! I am very interested in learning more about cultures I don't know a lot about. I will have to make sure I have the time and resources available before jumping in.
The "for such a time as this" theme of Esther is what appeals to me. It's just a great story too!
I do live in CST!
I like both the song and the punctuation "oxford comma"
I just really like cookies.
