I live in Sydney. I study physics, mathematics, and astronomy in my spare time, when I'm not engaged in wage slavery or saying silly things on this forum.

I'm old school. I lol and lmao all the time. I've even been known to ROFL. When I type that I think in my head rowfull and el mayo. I've even said el mayo out loud to someone.
I think that the reason I try so hard for a laugh is because I'm no longer in school. I don't get gold stars or extra credit anymore and I crave the recognition so I keep throwing out the jokes hoping for a lol, or a pat on the head, a rub on the tummy. I don't know if that makes me human or pathetic. speaking of seeking recognition check out my latest poem in the "math poem needed" thread. I just wrote it and I think its pretty good and that's rare for me to say about something I did. no, rare isn't the right word. its not rare for me to say something of mine is good. what's that word I'm looking for? oh yeah-common.

Oh I see. If there was a test I would have stolen it, anyway.

and that right there is why Sydney had such poor test scores. people in other towns didn't steal the test. They stole the answers.
