the fact that you can trust him/her and that he/she will be there when you need him/her the most. what's the most valuable thing (in your opinion) of your life?

to be honest I don't know what I'd choose. I suppose I'd have to "live" these situations and then I'd be able to take a decision. Same question.

good morning Gail (when you wake up!) :kiss: :kiss: hope you're doing fine and to talk to you soon! Tomorrow I'll have lessons but from Wednesday to Sunday I'll be in holidays! yay!

^lucky you!!! :dance:

oh, sure! I was working there only for 1 week but there were scientifics, doctors, ...so on from all over the world. Every scientific(whatever) made a wallpaper with graphics and information about what he/she was mading a research of(a serious wallpaper, huh). All those wallpapers were hung on the wall of several passages and in the bottom of every wallpaper there were several cards with general information of the scientific who made it. So, that worked like this: scientifics were looking at the wallpapers, and when they thought that someone was mading a similar research to their one, then he/she took a card of the author of the wallpaper, and afterwards they made an appointment to talk about stuff. can you imagine it?

Questions for those who do not have AIDS/HIV: Name: Iris Age: 21 Location: Barcelona, Spain. 1. When did you first hear of AIDS/HIV? To be honest, I don't really remember, when I was a kid, I suppose I was about 7 or 8. 2. What was your initial reaction? Fear. I was pretty scared of the disease on itself and of every person that has it 3. How has your perception changed since then? It has changed gradually 'cos it's really easy to "shock" a kid... they get scared easily. Now I don't have that fear but it still scares me. I still have the impression that I have to be careful if I'm with someone who has VIH. 4. Do you know of someone affected by this disease? I don't. 5. List any information regarding prevention, transmission and/or symptoms that you are aware of: Transmission: sexually and via drugs. prevention: use condoms, use "clean" needles. symptons: this disease affects your immnune system gradually..... and when you're really bad, you can even die 'cos of a simple cold. 6. Would you say that society, in general, is now more a) compassionate, b) tolerant, or c) indifferent towards those living with AIDS/HIV? I think it's more tolerant, but I still think that society is scared of ppl who have this disease. 7. Any additional information that you would like to share? yes, I worked in an International Congress of VIH that was "celebrated" here in Barcelona about 4 years ago if I recall correctly.

I really like that one, Charles! It couldn't picture better what we're studying! :nice:

that's good! :D yes, I do. do you feel good with youserlf?

more or less, but I think I should do more stuff... I sometimes feel that I'm missing something! What do you do when you're bored?

reg: you look good.

here is my result.

yeah, there're some kind of things that ppl record in their memory forever. by the way, regarding your last sentence... this seems to be like an interview!! haha, don't you think? bye Gábor :kiss: and good luck.

Chaaaarles!!! :nice: que ambientillo que tienes para estudiar, eh?! me encanta! hahaha :lol: Yo también tengo siempre la tabla periódica a mano... y una calculadora!

yes... I remember she had a cute picture of herself as her avatar but at the moment I don't remember her username! I hope that things are going well for you both! well, it's normal to have a weird feeling when you meet for the very first time with someone you've been talking to time after time and who you also love!!!

Who??! oh, tell me more things.... now I am curious!!! how was your first meeting?! :nice:

you're right, Sarah. It's something that they can't really imagine... it doesn't even make sense! @Gábor: awwwwe!!! :blush: Could I be curious? .....

that's unbelievable! :stunned: I knew that Will was going out with someone from the net but I didn't expect that you too, Gábor!!!!

OH MY... !! :blush: will you? that's great! ^sure it's real but when you meet in life seems that it is even more real.

oh, you too, Will?? well, I know that you've been in love with someone on the net for a long time! Anyway, that happens when you don't expect it... and WHERE you least expect it. :wacko:

yay! someone that thinks like me! :) of course it isn't only about looks. You're right here, it's completely different... it works different, but in its inner, it's the same, 'cos you fall in love almost just like you'd do in real life. yes, he/she could tell you lies (but you too) and I won't deny it's easier to lie on the net than in real life. Anyway, I don't think that once you meet with that person who you've been talking to on the net you think it's that different from that one you've met in the virtual world.

You can't really know it, but you usually notice if that person who you're talking to every day, time after time, is honest or not with you. Well, you can meet with liars, but you can meet them everywhere, on the net and also in real life. Even people who you just expected that were your best friends could be big liars (in real life). I think it's easier to be nicer and to be more open on the net. And this is a positive thing. The fact that a person has fallen in love with someone of the internet doesn't mean that you fall in love easily, simply that you've found sthg that really engages your attention in the other.

This is a great topic to talk about! I love it, and it is so related with my life (or at least i could say of one of the best experiences ever I've had in my life). I think I could also write an essay that would never end, there're a milion things to say... :nice: When you start to fell in love with someone from the net you're truly in love. I'm sure about that 'cos I've been in love with ppl from the net twice and I assure you they're for real, sometimes you can even feel more things for that person than for someone of the real life, sometimes even a sentence or some words can touch your heart deeply, in a way I couldn't even figure out ... and what's more, the fact that you fall in love that way, doesn't mean you will never meet this person in the real world. Also, I wanted to say that I'm quite shy at first and not open-minded and friends on the net are just great for me 'cos I'm able to be open myself to them and explain certain secrets I wouldn't explain anyone. It makes things easier somehow and I reckon it's a good thing to do, to talk to other ppl about your innest worries. No, when you have that connection you've mentioned with someone from the net, I don't think it has to be considered as a deception regarding your partner... of course not. And even if you'd have a crush on that person, I don't think it'd be a deception, 'cos you can't choose who you fall in love with! It'd be another matter if you'd meet with that person and then you'd start a relationship with him... then I'd consider that as a lie! Concerning your third question about the Eric's case and his friend. No, they don't have the duty of reply you quickly 'cos ppl have other things to do and more friends than one. Anyway, this depends on the kind of relationship they were having... if you trust someone in a high level and this person disappoints you, for example, explaining to a third person something you only wanted that only your friend knew, then it could be considered a deception. I couldn't disagree more with you both. It's obvious that you have never fallen in love with someone from the net. Too bad. Is the physic so important for you? if you can't fall in love with someone 'cos you haven't seen him / her physically .... erm... :dozey: Both times I had a crush on a boy from the net it was 'cos I loved their ways of being. And I don't think it's stupid at all to love someone like this. No. At least not in my case 'cos I've lived the most wonderful love story ever thanks to internet so I can't understand your opinion. Internet has been really important to my life, otherwise I wouldn't go out with my current and only one boyfriend. No. I don't think we'd have never had the chance to meet us but internet gave us that chance

oh, really? this is even more strange! :stunned: seems that it is such an important homework, that one you have to do!

the costume? *I'm lost* I meant she would give you ideas about your homework,...

oh, your mum probably could give you some ideas! :)
