Did you hear about the Chilean miners? Yes, I am so happy that they were rescued. I love how their country really pulled together.
Do you follow current events? If so, what are you most intrigued by now? I am sorry to say that they bore me, so I only pay attention to what gets posted on yahoo. Now I'm embarrassed!
Edit: I DO pay attention to all these gay rights issues that are happening/not happening. I am in the acting business where the majority of our guys are gay. How can I NOT support them?!

Did you hear about the Chilean miners? No, what is this? Haha, yes, of course I did/am/will. Was up til 1:30 last night watching the rescues - I am so happy for them and proud of everyone in Chile who has come together more than ever this year!

Do you follow current events? If so, what are you most intrigued by now? Yes, I watch the news during breakfast and get a daily email from the BBC with headlines. Right now, other than the miners, I'm most interested in the hunger strike that some of the Mapuche (indigenous people) have been on for more than 80 days. Long story short, they get unfair treatment from the govt and are asking for a law that allows them to be tried as terrorists to be changed, and the outcome of this will be important for both future relations with the Mapuche and the country's progress as a democracy in general.

Stage, they've got 12 up now!

Did you hear about the Chilean miners? YES, and it is amazing!

Do you follow current events? If so, what are you most intrigued by now? The miners, and the girl whose Taliban husband and his family disfigured her face and left her to die.  She's living in the U.S. right now, and she's about to have plastic surgery to restore her nose and ears.  She is soooo beautiful and I am so happy she's going to be okay.

Post a link from youtube that makes you laugh: I can't get on it right now, the video of the Jack Chop makes me laugh and cringe at the same time.

Stage, you can just copy and paste it. That's what I did.

Did you hear about the Chilean miners?

I'm watching them get pulled out now.

Do you follow current events? If so, what are you most intrigued by now?

I am in disbelief that they have already lifted the ban on oil drilling in the Gulf over a month early.

Did you hear about the Chilean miners? Yep...it's being pretty heavily covered here, which is good, because otherwise I would have had no idea...I'm really glad that the rescue is going well!
Do you follow current events? If so, what are you most intrigued by now? Only what shows up on my Yahoo mail, and I watch the news at noon, but that's all local...I will say I can't wait until November 3rd, when the mudslinging and ridiculous campaign ads stop...

A song that can always make you happy: Your Love Is My Drug by Ke$ha...I used to HATE it, but it's catchy and there's another video on YouTube for my fave actor with that song so whenever I hear it, I think of that video

jenn.daniel

Did you hear about the Chilean miners? last I saw they had 13 out

Do you follow current events? If so, what are you most intrigued by now? only b/c FI watches NBC news in the evening.  I don't know why.  Most things they show aren'ts really news-worthy, IMO.  I'll read headlines online.

 Did you hear about the Chilean miners? I have, I'm happy that they're finally getting out. My alarm clock is set for the radio to be my alarm, and when it went off this morning, it was actually the news reporting that the first miner was out.

Do you follow current events? If so, what are you most intrigued by now? Yes and no ... I go through phases. Right now, I've been paying a lot of attention to all of the stories about bullying and suicides in the schools ... for something that has been a huge problem for so long, I think it's about damn time that the media brought a lot of attention to it. I really hope it forces the schools to actually do something about it instead of turning a blind eye or shrugging it off as "kids being kids".

Post a link from youtube that makes you laugh:
Can't link, but it's the Ebaums World cartoon: "The End of The World". Seriously, it never gets old (I've been watching that one for almost 5 years now, and I still think it's one of the funniest things ever).

A song that can always make you happy:
"Shut Up And Smile" by Bowling For Soup, which I've actually been blasting in my car all week (Hey, they're right: all we need is ice cream and a hug)

Licia&Wayne

Did you hear about the Chilean miners? Of course! It's wonderful and I'm so glad they are getting them out far before the first estimates of how long they would be trapped. 

Do you follow current events? If so, what are you most intrigued by now? I'm pretty obsessed with news. I've been following the toxic waste spill in Hungary as well as the missing NC girl whose case just turned to a homicide investigation, although they haven't found her body. It's a really messed up story, especially since it appears they're leaning toward her parents having involvement in her death/disappearance. Ugh.

A song that can always make you happy: Cracklin' Rosie or Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show by Neil Diamond. If you're ever driving near me when these songs come on in my car, get ready for a show.

Meg, I love that cartoon! Once H's English was good enough to get it even with the weird accents, I made him watch it, and he thinks it's hysterical too. I say "hokay, so" all the time.

<div>I just read this story and it's horrible!  What makes me even more upset is that family members thought there was child abuse going on in that home and did nothing about it.</div>

I do that, too, lol. The other thing I will do is randomly say "Daym, that is eh sweet ____, you might seh" and insert whatever I'm talking about at where the word "earth" would be.

And both DH and I will do the "But I'm le'tired", "Well, have a nap ... THEN FIRE ZE MISSLES!!!!" bit.

Did you hear about the Chilean miners? Yes!!  I am so happy and excited!  I can't wait until they are all out!

Do you follow current events? If so, what are you most intrigued by now? Yes.  I read Yahoo headlines every day; I read our local paper online every day; and I usually watch our local news at 10 p.m. every night.

Right now I'm paying the most attention to the miners and election news.  I'm still trying to make up my mind about a few candidates.

Did you hear about the Chilean miners?  Vaguely.  I heard about it on the radio this morning, and saw an article on Slate.

Do you follow current events? If so, what are you most intrigued by now?  Sort of.  I watch InfoMania every week, which usually touches on most of the big news stories, and I follow stuff that people post from Facebook.  I'm usually not too up on everything, though.

I am a HUGE Viral Video Film School fan.  I could watch all of them over and over again, but the bears lesson is one of my favorites.  Here's another good one that's more recent: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUpWs6q_umo" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUpWs6q_umo</a>
