It's an election year!

(And a leap year... I just now realized that. Smart, ain't I?)

So I've been thinking. If the shrub-boy gets elected (won't say re, I refuse to concede the point!), I really don't think I want to stay here much longer... not until things change a bit. So I'm looking into overseas programs... even if the shrubboy doesn't make it, I still want to go a-travelling at some point, and if I can do it while attending school, so much the better. This time, I'm doing it right and focusing on linguistics programs.

[Poll #246930]

Please explain WHY you picked whatever you did.

As for myself, I'd most prefer to be in a country where you don't have to drive, people are fairly tolerant, and the cost of school/living isn't too high. Oh, and I could get a job. Strict requirements, I know.

I have a lot of new friend-ofs. Which is good, no worries...

But it seems like I got nine new friend-ofs in the past three days, six of them in one day, so I'd like to know who you all are. I'm pretty sure I don't know you all, and introductions may be in order. Heck, people who've been my friend-of longer can also tell me why.

Sample questions you may want to answer

1. Who are you? If I don't know you, how did you find me?
2. Why did you add me?
3. Had you read my journal for a while before adding me? If so, why'd you bite the bullet and add me?
4. What's one thing interesting about you that I might like to know? Or several boring things, whatever.
