*offers chocolate chip icecream*

hmmmm... I love choc. chip ice cream!

As far as fast food... I don't eat much from burger places. They taste good once in awhile but not often. I do love Great Steak & Potato Co. If you don't have one of those around you I can't tell you how great their Chicken Teriyaki Subs taste! They also have the best fries!

Trust me Danny, when you get into full time work, you are going to miss school.

I myself is studying to become an engineer( constuction engineer actually) and I am now in my first your of just working( as you have to go to three years on school first, then you have to work for two years, and thenn two years more on shool, and then four years on work again, and at last three years of engineer education), so may years left on school for me.

* take some ice cream ( I got enough choclate in the holiday) and coffe*

I couldn't agree less

My last years of school were something I did not relish. I like to learn, but if I can't use what I learn on something practical, then to me it's no fun. Add to that the fact that I'm an autodidact, and school was just the wrong place for me. I thought about going to university to study IT, but then I heard it was -again- just gray theory, no practical bits. That's what universities are like here.

Instead, when I came out of school, I started my own business right away. Sure, the first years were hard. It took me 3 years to finally get to the point where I could pay my own bills, but if I had to do it again, I would. No regrets

Ah...Tellie! A fellow engineer! That´s nice....though my specialty is chemistry...I´ve been working for many years and I must say I agree with you...AND stargelman!

Of course I miss school sometimes....but as it is now my work at the NPP is extremely stimulating and developing for me...and also my company offers a great deal of education!
F.ex I´ll probably take some courses this year.....yay!

But mostly I´m happy to not go to school, see when I get home....my time is MINE I don´t have any homework and stuff......that´s great!

Talking about school aye? Well it's this half year left until I move on to Highschool where I think I'm gonna study Media and Communication, hopefully get some job too... Our applications need to be ready in a little more then a month, you need pretty high grades to get in but I hope I'll manage it because they need to make up so many classes on the school I want to get into...

Have a second and a third choice too, so if you dont get in on the fist you might get in on either one of those two, but really don't know the third actually. Was thinking Sports or Health,- and Social which is pretty much everything within things to do with Health If I would choose that, I might go for ambulance personnel... But still un-decided...

A very special thing is that they have changed the Highschool system totally here in Norway and we who will join after summer will be the first one to try out this.

I have to disagree. At least with work, I feel like there's a reason behind me being there. At school, I feel like I know everything already and nothing is challenging. (with the exception of calc, but I have no plans that involve higher maths) I only attend school because it's the law, my parents make me, and there's no way I could go to college (maybe I'll learn something there) without it.

. . . I like school . . . (And this comes from the dumb jock )

I just don't like waking up at 7:00 am... But all my grades are great (save spanish..) and if I get my recommendations, I think I have a good chance to get to one of the Military Academy's here. in the US

I do not like school. The teachers are almost always moody, except for a few, and all i learn is how to completely slam people in every way, that is wrong. I mean i know its not very nice, but im sorry mrs. chase "you look dead and have a blue dot on your forehead" that is the example of what i learn in school. Other then getting handed A's i really don't see the point except to kill the 18 years untill you're alowed to live your life. I really do not enjoy the different cliques in it, and even though im popular i still could care less.

Yes its wrong but you have to admit it is pretty fun I realised today that all of the math teachers (If not all the teachers in general) and crazy... so caught up into math that they think false enthusiasm(at least I hope its fake) came make us like those 50 step math problems..


Ah Cliques.... I am not in a popular clique, nor am I popular. I hang aorund all the weirdos, which is alot more fun anyways then all the jocks and preps.... It is completely random at times


so My school isn't bad I hang around people that have fun, and it gives me somthing to do all day and some exercise

Brand New Doll-The Exponents, They are pop/dance I don't like pop one bit but I like the exponents (I know I just said that about punk and the living end, but I'm full of exceptions). Brand new doll is a kind of punkish song rather than a pop one, which alot of their songs are; the band seems to be a pleasant mixture of pop/dance/punk, they are Kiwi (New Zealand) and quite unmistakably mainstream but they are old now and have gone out of fad for mainstream I like them because they are sort of like an poppy metal band. They have mastered the climax/anti climaicallity of music (unlike modern pop) and if you like bands which use silience and don't confine yourself to one genre you'd probably like them.

Now I am listening to Angel's son-Sevendust. No review, they are already known.

Anyone want to draw something for me?

DoomedOne-
What do you want drawn? With a bit of effort, my skills at art aren't too bad.

School-
My midterms are coming up. Not a big deal, I know everything I need to know. Only thing I really need to improve on is the speed I write at, and since I get half a day for my midterms, that shouldn't be a problem. I pay enough attention in my classes to absorb the knowledge coming from the teachers mouth.

School isn't completely useless as far as I'm concerned. I eventually want to be able to move out of my parent's house, preferably as soon as economically possible. That means I'll need a job, in today's economy, a good one. Which means I need college. Which means I need to finish high school, and preferably pay enough attention in my classes to succeed in college.

I prefer to learn things that will be usefull in real life. So my math class is pretty useless and boring. Some math is needed in life, but what we're doing right now isn't particularly useful. Plus I get yelled at because I don't show work, because the answer is what's important, if you know that you know what you're doing. Some of my other classes are useless, some teach things that will come in handy.

Regarding how to pay for college and an apartment at the same time-
Well, I'm only a freshman, so I don't need to worry too far ahead. But I recently got an interesting proposition from a friend of mine who shares similar plans. (graduate high school, move out of parent's home, go to college) She said that after we've graduated, we can be roommates and share the rent, cutting the costs of living for both of us. (pretty sure she was just joking, we both have a ways to go before we could move out) I responeded by saying that neither my girlfriend or her boyfriend would probably like that plan much. ;) I'm lucky she has a sense of humor that is similarly twisted to mine, and she realized I was joking. Otherwise she probably would have pushed me into the traffic on the road. (it was rush hour) I'm bigger and quite possibly stronger than her, but she's a fighter, a tomboy, and a small tough person can usually manage to beat a bigger person who won't hit back.

Regarding the other downsides of high school-
I don't much mind stereotypes or social groups that exclude others. I have friends from pretty much ecery group in the school. I've got nerd friends (by nerd, I mean nerdier than me), I've got emo friends, I've got a friend who pretty much defines the term jock, I've got preppy friends, I've got Gothic friends, I've got punk friends, I've got preppy friends, I've got friends from all over. I don't fit well into any of the stereotypes, so other people usually define me either as Gothic or as a reject. (similar on a lot of points, the difference being that Gothic is more fixated on death while being a reject is more just that-don't fit, don't care, and the fashions are different, Gothic being mostly black and dark red, reject just being whatever, doesn't matter, but generally dark) If other people ask me what I am as far as groups like that go, I tell them I'm Gothic, because it's a term people can instantly identify, as opposed to needing to re-explain what a reject is and why I'm considered a reject. Bit less awkward that way. If people want to exclude me from a group, that's their choice, and it means I probably wouldn't want to hang out with them anyways. And that doesn't happen much, I'm mostly called a reject because I don't like hanging out with most people, but a lot of people like hanging out with me, and most people have more important things on their mind than messing with someone who doesn't care. (be it girls/boys, sports, money, school, friends, work, or messing with someone who's more fun to mess with) I don't care much about stereotypes, so it doesn't bother me. And I'm usually too busy thinking about stuff to notice, anyways.

Hehe, when it comes to groups in school i'm eithe in the wierdo-nerd group, or on my own being a loner
The actual group is a laugh because we just talk about the most random things

Natyrally, you are not going to miss everything from school, but when works start to take its toll, with overtime and night shifts you are going to remember that when you were going to school, all you had to do when you came home was to do your homework then you were free to go.

*serves some homemade apple pie and lemonade*

See, I'm lucky because my popular friends and I talk the same way. Random things and hockey. Oh, by the way, who do you all think is going to take the stanley cup? I think Edmonton has a good chance, they've been dominating lately and Todd Bertuzzi is one of the great players of the game. I forgave him for the Steeve Moore thing, cause' he was just getting back for another player. Plus, it was a freak accident and he cried for like, three days straight afterwards. Compared to somethings other people have done (one of my favourite players, Darcy Tucker, ripped off someones helmet in an on ice fight and hit him with it).

Personally I detest sterotypes and labels. It has burned me up since 8th grade. Honestly I could go on forever but I've quite exhausted any want to do that years ago.

In my book punk is pushing it and basicly anything else is unacceptable. But that's just me... but then again you don't have to take me to seriously, as I take annoyance to just about everything concerning human interaction.

I have a strange phobia of being around other human beings and being locked away in a room with a computer indefinently is a dream of mine. I loathe setting my foot out the door as I must every morning. *shudder*

It's not that I can't interact, it's that I greatly dislike doing so. This being said I still have a sizeable amount of friends (sizeable being....5 or 6). It's a wonder I even have a girlfriend (but as of 2 weeks ago I do). Of course with friends and partners that's a whole different story, I consider those I'm close to... to well.. not be people, but something better.

I interact when I have to, but other than that I avoid and ignore with extreme vigilance. You should just look at me dodging and weaving through the halls of the school. I HATE human touch (except with those I am involved with).

I hatye stereotypes as well, but differently than you do, Intestinal. I don't hate all of the people or what they stand for, I hate the division between them and how 'punks' feel like they don't relate or hang out with 'preps' and so forth.

I hang out with everybody ever since realizing that the only real difference beyond normal individuality is the way the different groups dress/present themselves.

Oh yes i love making fun of people. It's a passion of mine, and like i said im pretty popular, and we all get into a group and talk about other people, it's awesome

Talk about having nothing better to do. I do talk about people, I'll admit, but I usually try hard not to...
