I wanted to share a statement someone at my work made. Here is some background, we were talking about today (Thursday) and then I said, it is already Friday in New Zealand.

He then says to me, isn't New Zealand close to Japan?

Sure it is, just like Greece is kind of close to Greenland.. Everything's relative! Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Shit. . .I feel kind of guilty now, despite the 'jk' . . .
What falls away is always, and is near.

Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

Well at least they got the right hemisphere...

Not even.

Japan is in the northern hemisphere, New Zealand is in the southern. Thinking
