I'm not sure if any other places do the 40 hour famine but alot of people in Australia do. Basically you give up food or something else important for 40 hours and get to sponsor you. the money goes to World Vision to do whatever they do where ever they do it.
i decided I didn't want to give up food for 40 hours as i had some problems a while ago and stopped eating and found the hardest part was STARTING to eat once again.
i was then faced with a problem...what do I give up? technology was out of the question as I was working that weekend..."im sorry you can't actually buy anything as i can't use the cash register..."
i decided to do something incredibly difficult for me. i decided to go monosyllabic for 40 hours. for those who dont know, monosyllabic words have only one syllable/sound.
it started off difficult. i was out to dinner for my friends birthday. i decidedthat i would add 5 minutes on to the total time for every time i screwed up.
i was going well untill at 14 hours my mother decided it was inconvenient to HER! so i stopped. my plan was to make a monosyllabic post here as well, so i've decided i will try it now. Mel's Rule: all replies from people with english as their mother language must also be monosyllabic, its the authors discretion if its not whether they want to.
Here goes. me speak word with just one sound for near dead kid with no food or house in third world. I need cash to help them.
I went to work on this day. few sales. it was shit. girl i work with, Kate, is cool. she said she will lend me nice dress when i need it for deb this year. yay!
this is hard. cant say what i want to say. think i shall give up now. i will see how i go. Les Mis is on, *sigh*.
HP #5 comes out june 21. want all from wok to dress up with scars on head and dress store up. heh heh. staff meet is on next week. will bring it up then. ho hum.
naught to say...my tests are done with. think i went fine...:S will find out soon i guess. they don't count for much, but they are the most hard i have done yet. RE was a waste of time. there's naught they can tell me i dont know.
other tests were Pol, Math, Sci, Eng (waste of time too) Phil.
sci was most hard. my mind does not get it. goes past my head. in one ear out one ear.
God, I give up! seriously, everyone should try it! it's incredibly difficult. it's also a pain in the arse for everyone else near you :D.
