what are we signing up for?

Happy Friday the 13th everybody!

I've thought about whether today is good luck or bad luck, because some cultures think its good luck, and others think its bad luck, and so I did a lot of inspection on the day today and I'm sort of controversial.

I'm saying bad, after spending over an hour on a single math problem during a test. (I still didn't finish)

Here, Megil, sign me up. I've seen some of your art, you're very good.


This reminds me of something. It was hot today! Come on, I live in the northeast part of the USA, and it's freakin' January! There hasn't been snow for almost a month! Come on, we usually get several feet of snow easily, but this year we've never had more than a foot or two.

Gamer10-Yeah, it's nice knowing what other people think of you. At the high school orientation last summer, I overheard someone telling their mother, "See that kid in grey over there? He's like some kind of genius or something." I looked around, but I was the only one in grey. Nice to know what people think of you, sometimes.
I already know what my teachers think of me. I'm a punk who ruins all their lessons by asking questions they can't answer. Sometimes these questions are related to the subject matter, sometimes they're questions like, "What are we ever going to use this for?" which I ask in math class, when we're doing stuff that seems useless. (No answer, of course. Hard to answer a question that has no answer)
Of course, it's not always nice, but I still like to know, nice or not. People avoided me for a couple of weeks about a year ago, and I didn't know why. Then I found out that there were rumors floating around that I paid little kids to give me blowjobs. Nasty shock for me, I don't even know any little kids. ;) But I still preferrred to know what people were thinking aout me. (those rumors are over, someone got curious about me and started tracking down those rumors, finally tracked them to a person that nobody believes or trusts)


Doomed- Friday the 13th? I forgot about that. I had a so-so day. Nothing special, but I didn't get maimed, injured, or dead. And I avoided needing to hide any bodies today, so I guess it was alright.

What are you talking about?! Its hot as hell here now, in the middle of January... I'm so confused, I'm waiting for the sky to fall as well.

I worked my boat off tonight at work... from 5:30 to 11:00 I was pretty much running to get crap down at meh job..

HEhe, Friday the 13th was a pretty good day. A math test i had been very worried about turned out to be really easy, and i got no homework for the weekend
So a pretty good day for me lol

Recently (well, okay, maybe not, more like 3 months ago) we had a very peculiar discussion in my communications class. My teacher asked each one of us about love at first sight, and whether we believed it existed or not.

What are your views?

Mine was:

Since it is impossible to define love except metaphorically, we cannot come to a logical decision about the existence of love at first sight. Personally, I doubt there is ever going to be any way to prove that such a subconcious emotion really exists. I do however, believe in the existence of love, and believe that if love is as it is often defined, then love at first sight may exist.

I've never experienced it so I can't account for its existence or not.

In the same boat as Doomed.

Its easy to say that there are many people out there who think love is something is not. and try to appease the desire only physically. Those type of people drive me up the wall.

I would like to think of love as something that completes us on all levels of life. mentally, emotionally, and physically as well.

Seriously, though, what do you guys think of starbucks? Why is it considered to be so great? The coffee is bitter. I've worked at a local coffee shop, and it was much better over there.

the reason starbucks is preffered is that they use less cofee than most normal places. also part of their roasting process involves burning the beans. Their machines are also fully automated which I don't like since it takes away from teh whole experience of a cofee shop.

I don;t drink starbucks, but I would work for them at the tip of a hat. they offer great benefits. they are #6 of the top 100 companies to work for.

I've heard that before, but didn't believe it. Are these benefits for part tiem workers?

yes they do offer benefits to part time employees.

Guys, this is hamster cave retarded. I was having the most realistic, awesome dream ever and it turned out to be a dream. This is so lame. God, now I'm all disheveled. My biggest fantasy has not come true. I am disappointed.

care to share, or is it...inappropriate?

lol yes... is it suitable?

It's perfectly appropriate, it's just personal, but it's like say in a dream you get offered to join a band or something, and you get tons of fans and everybody loves you, then you wake up, that's what this was like. I started out normally, then one thing happened, then another and suddenly I was like, "wait a second, this is what I've been hoping for for the last few months, but I never get what I want, how is this possible?"

Well, I realized it was a dream, so if I wanted I could have lucid dreamed, but I thought for a second, "how could I make this dream any better?" So I just chose to let it go on the way it was, and forgot I was dreaming. A little while later I woke up and it was like a big inside joke had come to its conclusion.

A few months ago, I kept having dreams in which I was just chilling with friends, making jokes and such. Pretty soon, I couldn't distinguish between what had really happened with my friends and what I dreamed. I would bring up inside jokes made in my dream, and start laughing, only to get blank stares in return.

I felt kinda retarded.
