Did you know that the country with the most foreign students in the United States is Saudi Arabia, because the government pays for most of the students to come here? i just did a search to find the approximate total of Saudi Arabian students in the USA, i found a source that said 5,000 in 1999, a source that said 15,000 in 2006, and a source that said 30,000 students but did not state a year. Whatever the amount that's a lot.

the least blasphemous thing i did in this confessional,
the most blasphemous thing was ***

My God,
I am sorry for my sins with all my hearts.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good.
I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.
Amen.

Three thoughts about the Oscars~ pissed that Pan's Labyrinth didn't win best foreign film even though it won every other category it was in, of course they gave it to a German film about evil Nazi's, how typical and jewish. Fucking Ennio Morricone, been working on American English language films since the 1970's and yet he gives his speech entirely in italian. i understand he is italian, i am sure he is more comfortable speaking italian, but this is an American award, to an English speaking audience and jury who is giving you this award, and rewarding your work in English language films. To speak for 3 minutes all in italian with Clint Eastwood standing next to him being fed the translation, and not even mutter a simple thank you in English. And it was so much more offensive that this was done by someone who is able to speak English and knows the language. He has previously said, in English, that he didn't not want to win an Oscar(which he bitterly said after he's been nominated 5 times and lost every time), and he was disappointed to be nominated for an honorary achievement, well than don't accept it, he's basically selling out but still trying to act tough like he isn't selling out. Lord knows i think the Oscars are the worst awards possible, and i have very little respect for them, but you can't accept the award, say thank you, and then say fuck you to the people who gave it to you. Ennio Morricone is just a bitter disrespectful pussy who was too scarred to make a stand for what he believes, so he pulled this lame stunt to be disrespectful. Lastly the best joke i heard last night was, surprisingly, from Joan Rivers who said, the autopsy and toxicology are done on Anna Nicole Smith and they didn't find any illegal drugs in her system, just lots and lots of sperm.

i have disliked and not trusted girls like the one in white since elementary school
(because of a girl named angela widenhof, she was a classmate at underwood, but i never talked or socialized with her, she was very arrogant and unfriendly, she was always dressed in big frilly dresses with lace, she even wore makeup and lots of blush at that age. When we went to lunch, or recess, or gym we had to walk in a single file line, she was always directly in front of me. One day out of the blue, i was summoned to the principals office, angela had told the teachers and principal that i had been throwing her down the stairs everyday for a month. The teachers had never seen anything but they were still very upset with me and i had to beg and plead and probably cry, and eventually our parents got involved. Nothing ever happened and i didn't get in trouble but i remember being so confused as to why she would tell them i had been throwing her down the stairs for a month.
