Stuff so great you just have to rave about it, post here. :yeah:

I live in a nation that, for all its flaws, has a high standard of living and allows a large degree of personal liberties. I have had access to a good education, both formally and informally. I belong to a loving family that provides emotional support.

That sort of thing?

Well i thought this was more talking about the pluses of impromptu raves, like in warehouses and stuff!

I make this wondrous treat that is basically Cheetos without the cheese flavouring. I coat it in a candy that can be flavoured with things like apple/cinnamon ( sooooo good) or my latest batch that was mint choc flavoured. My next batch I will split in twain and do 1/2 with choc and 1/2 with peanut butter then mix the halves together like Reese's.


Its like candy and chocolate heaven.

I was thinking a little more specific and personal (though the family bit is pretty personal)..

Nah, that covers it for me. Everything else is complaints.

Sundays. I love Sundays!! Six days of work, and then there is Sunday to look forward to.

Here's to you, Sunday!!:beer:

My big bro... He's just so F-ing awsome:)

Seriously he's the friendliest, funniest guy you'll ever meet. He sees somebody, and instantly the're best friends. He'd make a fantastic used car salesman. Hell he'd make a good used condom salesman:) Lol, he's just the most wonderfull guy, and I'm so lucky to have him...

That's all for the moment.

Summer holiday!

don't we have a recipe thread?

El Justos recipe thread has my chicken in it. May still be the last post.

But no I will not divulge my recipe for my candy crack. Its a secret. But in the future you may be able to buy some on the interwebs.:D

I have managed to move to a country that is completely awesome. :cool:

(I don't know - it is easier to complain than to compliment for me :p)

I just played a show at the Newport Music Hal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newport_Music_Hall)l yesterday. We didn't think the show went wonderfully, on account of poor monitors on stage (and the fact that the Newport seats over 1200 people, and we're used to playing in clubs much smaller)...but the manger told us after the show that he was very impressed, and would like us to headline a show there in the winter.

WOOOOOOOOOO

I recommend Paco's Tacos for anyone living in Southeast Brooklyn!

But downtown's post is much better!

I have to rave about myself. I'm just completely awesome!

I could only do a Random Rant about myself. :(

Anyway, props to EMS workers doing the work the NYPD's 61st Precinct should have been doing during another altercation in front of the building last night.

Huzzah for NESing, a history nerd's hard crack :cool: It's great for some sociology, recognizing historical patterns, military strategy, understanding diplomacy, and storywriting :)

so I suppose NESing is more like hard crack for the history nerd sprinkled on top of a joint for writers

...all these drug references feel very odd coming from me. In any case...I think you get the point ;)

What about Illusionist? If I had a girl, I'd rave about her. ;)

Especially if she checks out the same forum as me.

Well that's exactly why I wouldn't, eh? Because she'd kill me for it later, embarassing her in front of a bunch of random strangers ;)

It certainly did cross my mind though...

California. :)

California. :)

you're going to love it there. esp the weather

to be back on topic: I'm getting more athletic!

where are you visiting in particular

I'm not sure... but I think I'm going to LA. I have to look at the website of the guitar festival I'm going to... but it's almost 3 AM, I'm way too tired.

If you're anywhere around central California drop me a line/PM. :)

That's it! I'm moving there then!! :D






I wish :p
I hear CA is expensive anyways.

I hear CA is expensive anyways.

thats true. especially housing, which is ridiculous. But not nearly to the point of NYC expensive

If it is as warm as I heard, then certainly. :D

It depends entirely on which party you go to.

^ I checked on the website. The contest takes place in Malibu. :D

I finished building my kayak! Hahahahaha!

And a paddle as well!!!

Just gonna spray paint a pair of eyes on the front of it and its finished!

(those seals won't have a chance)

I love cornflakes. And cornflakes loves me! :love:

^ I checked on the website. The contest takes place in Malibu. :D

malibu is awesome, the festival should be awesome :goodjob:

anyway, I have my class schedule for next year, and a lot of my friends are in my classes!

Chocolate Ovaltine. I feel like a 7 year old. I go nuts over the stuff. Not to mention my Choco~Nilla Rice Krispie cereal, and the Cocoa Puffs.

This random rave is dedicated to the American automobile!! You're big, you're sturdy, you roll on down the highway like it's nobody else's business! You, in short, rock!

I got Driver's Permit today!!!

Everyone watch out! :mwaha:

Well I just bought a house. I get the keys Aug. 24th. Aug 25th I'm going to rescue a dog from the animal shelter. Aug 26th I'm going to cry myself to sleep for yanking the budgetary rug out from under myself for no good reason. Oh wait, equity, that's the word everyone keeps telling me makes it worthwhile. Equity, I'll say it ten times to myself slowly. Maybe that will help.

I got Driver's Permit today!!!

Everyone watch out! :mwaha:

What? How are you allowed to have that at 15? :eek: We're only allowed at 18! :cry:

WOOOOOOOOOO

Wow, congrats man. I've seen many shows at the Newport. I loved that place. I also love the blues so I'll have to check out your site later. Good luck at your winter show.

What? How are you allowed to have that at 15? :eek: We're only allowed at 18! :cry:
Well, you can get a Driver's Permit, which lets you drive with an adult at 15 years of age.

You can get your Driver's License, which lets you drive by yourself at 16 years old age.

... We still beat you! :p

^ I checked on the website. The contest takes place in Malibu. :D

So do get sponsorships for these contests or what? I dont know very many that pay for travel unless you're headlining, and that costs a lot of money.

Thanks. When we come back in the winter, it will be under a different band (Look for The Wingmen this winter if you're in the neighborhood. Aces High, after next week, wont be playing again until next summer)

Are you another Columbus-area CFCer? Its true, we are the best people in the world.

Despite my negativity about how the world's going to hell in a handbasket. Yesterday I went fishing with my girlfriend in our local river last evening. She caught five beautiful fish in 2 1/2 hours and I caught a grand total of zero. We went back to her folks place and her dad filleted the fish for us. At home I made some some excellent fish and chips for us at around 10:30 and have not died yet from salmonella or mercury poisoning. Nice!

...and have not died yet from salmonella or mercury poisoning. Nice!
Priceless. :lol:

If it is as warm as I heard, then certainly. :D

The weather is hot as balls. It was 105 today (40.5 in commie degrees). FRIGGEN HOT

I went deep sea fishing. It was nice :D

Didn't catch anything, but hey, since when have I ever been able to fish?

I also went to the beach today. Surfing and skimboarding are a great deal of fun once you get the hang of it.


EDIT: MjM, don't get me started about heat. :p

The weather is hot as balls. It was 105 today (40.5 in commie degrees). FRIGGEN HOT
It's only gonna get worse with global warming and all. I'd say Southern California will turn into a desert but it already is one.

Oh wait, this wasn't very positive. Hmm, on topic : sexual congress is nice, I'm glad I wasn't born a fish. Oh, and praise Allah for Civ II or I would never have met any of you!

EDIT: MjM, don't get me started about heat. :p

Florida is very humid and hot I know this, but you have beach all aurond and no mountains to drive over to get there!

In July, we had 44 here.... And yes it is annoying even for me, though normally I love warm weather.

So do get sponsorships for these contests or what? I dont know very many that pay for travel unless you're headlining, and that costs a lot of money.

In this case, someone (it's a very complicated story who he is) is giving me around 1500 Euro to go to this festival, the good part being that if I make it to the second round, I get a $500 travel refund (which is not going to cover my travel costs entirely, but still a good part of them), and I can hope for two prizes there. So normally, it shouldn't "cost" me anything, in the end. In fact, if I don't have to return the 1500 euro (which I can hope), I'm going to have a "profit", if I have certain results in the contest. :) And anyway, I have also another reason to go there... :mischief:

This video is cute (no sound) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xr1pWzoLvT8), makes me want a big cat of my own. :love:

I'm getting a kitten soon!

I got a kitten nearly two months ago. Take that, ansar! :mwaha::mwaha:HAHA!

Contrary to popular belief, Floridians do not go to the beach every day. Not to mention California water is significantly colder and there are such things as swimming pools in this world :p

I killed two brits with my BF-110. They were trying to take over an outpost with a M3 Grant tank. True, they were only digital, but it really felt good.

:lol: Just out of curiosity, what does the LDS church consider to be worse, drinking beer or eating a White Castle burger??

My random rave: The heat wave starts to break tomorrow!!!:goodjob: Yeah, it still sucks today, but I'm so giddy at the thought of it topping out at no more than 94 degrees tomorrow that I don't care about it being oppressive today. Kudos to you, mother nature!!

:lol: Just out of curiosity, what does the LDS church consider to be worse, drinking beer or eating a White Castle burger??

Beer. Alcohol is specifically prohibited, unhealthy food just discouraged.

(I actually did just literally drink all the beer I own, though, just now. And I have never in my life been more drunk than I am right now . . .)

Contrary to popular belief, Floridians do not go to the beach every day. Not to mention California water is significantly colder and there are such things as swimming pools in this world :p
We do go to the beach mostly everyday. ;)

We do go to the beach mostly everyday. ;)

What's the usual temperature for a day in the winter there in Florida? :)
Because here, it's usually around 0 C (ranging from -15 C on extremely cold days to 5-6 C on warmer days), so even if you wanted you couldn't really go to the beach every day, because in the winter... ;)

I got my senior portait pictures in today.

And I look somewhat respectable in them, too.

I like, that I am able to stand before a woman and look in her eyes, feeling her looking warmly back at me. I enjoy that sort of thing as much as intimate intercourse.

I drank all the beer I had and a whole bunch of White Castle hamburgers, so now I will be able to hunt more Easter eggs tomorrow.

That sounds like an awesome way to enjoy a Saturday! Cheers to you, my good man!

We go to the beach during the winter to walk. :)
Some people go to tan. Others just to relax.

Weather is usually around 75F (average), 50's/Upper 40's (Extremely cold day for South Florida), and 80F (warm days).

Not in Columbus anymore unfortunately. I live in the beautiful city of Cleveland. :crazyeye: LOL, I can't even type that with a straight face. My brother is an OSU grad and before that I had many friends that went to school there. I love that town. Haven't been there in a few years. Good luck with your shows.

Oh Heavenly delights!! My random rave of the day is dedicated to The Baconator (http://www.wendys.com/food/Product.jsp?family=1&product=4). 1/2 lb of Wendy's goodness that is just yummy in the tummy beyond description.

Can you say heartattack on a bun with extra bacon?

Oh, yes. I can feel my arteries constricting as we speak.

I just got a kitten 2 months ago named Boba Fett. Hell of a intergalatic Bounty Hunter- chipmunks, shrews, and other critters that he killed so far.

I am proud of him.

The drawing I'm working on of Vesper Lynd (http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42296000/jpg/_42296140_220_eva.jpg) has finally managed to reach the stage where I can actually present it to people as something decent.

So to take a break from drawing her, I decided to start on a drawing of Solange Dimitrios (http://cdn.channel.aol.com/pmms/productpagemovies/0b/06/2205346), and although I've only done the outer line, I'm actually pleased for once on how its coming out.

I BOUGHT BEYOND THE SWORD! :woohoo:

And I'm maybe going to Germany because I have german as a modern language! even more :woohoo:

I have official started learning French!!!

It is the awesome-est thing ever!!!

I just found out that 'jugulate' is a verb, and have resolved to use it at every opportunity.

I'm wondering if I should get Bioshock. The demo graphics were neat and the gameplay was pretty cool. But then what would I do when I finish it? It'd be like Prey all over again! A perfectly good copy of a game but already played.

Yet another random rave of the day dedicated (in part) to nourishment. This one goes out to St. Remy Napoleon Brandy, and also to Taliesin, that cultured Canadian who convinced me to try that yummy firewater.

The high temperature today was 59 degrees. Felt damn good.

And sounds like I must try that above brandy.

Just make sure you get the V.S.O.P and not the XO. The price difference is around $120.

Ha, I have a lot to be happy about, I did some great tings! :D I convinced many people of many things. :smug: And I managed to get an appointment at the US embassy for the visa about 1 month earlier than their limit!

I have a rant about duplicate threads. COUGH.

Surely this thread is exactly the same as the Random Rants thread?

A rave is the opposite of a rant. We're raving about things that make us happy. Read the thread.

I can start driving lessons when I'm 17 (two months). This is when you're allowed to drive in England. You can drive when you're 16 in America, no?

I'm raving about being able to get your driving permit when you are 16 in Canada! I have already had it for 3 months. I also love the fact that in Ontario the drinking age is 19, 2 years lower than in the USA.

Nope, at 15 you can drive with a 21-year old or older that has a drivers license.

At 16 you can get your drivers license! (Which is what I'll be doing next year.)

That's retarded.

In Canada 16 you can drive with someone who has had there license for 5 years at least. 8 months later you can drive by yourself.

Boxing! It is so much better than all this modern UFC stuff! I really wish there was more boxing on TV where I live.

Boxing's taken a real dive in quality in the US, at least. With the myriad weight classes and the alphabet soup of organizations, it seems like everyone has a shot at the title (even those that shouldn't have a right to be in a title fight. Maybe I've been spoiled by watching videos of the classic fights in the generation before I was born.

I was actually exceedingly good at the actual Latin language. But in Latin, some rudeboi thought it would be funny if you had to also be tested on your knowledge of certain Latin literature and Roman history. Were it not for these crappy tests, which are actually very hard, I would have also attained an A* in that.

EVERYBODY IN MY COUNTY KNOWS THAT I AM AN A* LATIN STUDENT.

That's funny that you call it A*. In Canada we call it A+.

Tonight I passed my Eagle Board of Review, meaning that pending a final administrative review of my paperwork, I'm now an Eagle Scout! Sweet.

Dude! That's awesome! I was in the Boy Scouts, but I only stayed for a couple years. Good work, man. :)

Sleep is a wonderful thing. I'm about to confirm this, despite knowing that I'm right already.

I doubt she has even heard about civ.
I don't know. What the heck is "on-topic" anyways?
Who doesn't randomly rave?

I only met her today...maybe it's best if we do not talk ever again. :shifty: ;)
And she's your new friend? There's a certain hypocrisy. :mischief:

The final episodes of Sopranos start soon on Channel Four! LONG LIVE CHANNEL FOUR! LONG LIVE SKINS! LONG LIVE BIG BROTHER! LONG LIVE YOUNG ENGLISH ADULTS!

And she's your new friend? There's a certain hypocrisy. :mischief:
Why is it hypocrisy?

A Random Rave shoutout to one of the few kind neighbors of this building, who made sure the mailman didn't walk away with my package!

You see, with this new mailman, any time he goes upstairs to deliver a package, you couldn't hear his knocking and he goes back downstairs immediately.

Thus, she saved me a 45-60 minute round trip to the post office!

Cheers to you, sane and helpful neighbor! :beer:

A hearty rave to paintball guns.

Good for keeping deer out of your garden! *bang bang*

I never realised how much of a problem deer were in some areas until I visited my aunt in New Jersey. Almost every day there would be deer eating her garden, and eating the seeds in her birdfeeder. Unfortunately I didn't have a paintball gun, so I just threw sticks and rocks at them.

That part.

Yeah, if you find her a friend because of that!

Duh!

Wrong word then really.

ANYWAY! Let's talk about me! I spoke to one person without stop for six hours.

www.civunited.net is such a cool Civilization site! I love it, because there is a better sense of community.

I make this wondrous treat that is basically Cheetos without the cheese flavouring. I coat it in a candy that can be flavoured with things like apple/cinnamon ( sooooo good) or my latest batch that was mint choc flavoured. My next batch I will split in twain and do 1/2 with choc and 1/2 with peanut butter then mix the halves together like Reese's.


Its like candy and chocolate heaven.

You mean like Bamba? (an Israeli snack sold by Osem that is also avaiable in North America that is essentially cheetos wiht peanut flavour instead of cheese)

I had this great food yesterday. Unfortunately I cant remember what its called, nor where the resteraunt is, but I'll just get my friend to take me there again.

I don't know how I've gone this long in my life without ever having heard Billy Joel before.

Blind luck?

Rave: Decision mathematics is super-useful! Even more so than statistics.

Crock pots.

I already know half of the stuff that my math class will teach!

EDIT:
"I only met her today...maybe it's best if we do not talk ever again."

That part.
Maybe you have smilies turned off or something? :crazyeye:

I posted a ;) to indicate that I was kidding. I made that statement because all of the answers to your questions were yes. :p

Just get a slingshot. That would scare the piss out of 'em. A nice metal pellet to the ass should do the trick.

I just got a new iPod.

ipods rocks

Cool!

Do you use iTunes or do you get your music from "other places"? ;)
ipods rocks
Yes they do. :goodjob:

I have an account, because I got a free card for a bunch of songs. HOWEVER, I use a line of copper made of citrus for my normal music. Of course, I can safely use it because [mel lastman]NOBODY[/mel lastman] makes viruses for mac. seriously. theres like 4 out there.

now I finally dont have to use my old Green mini.

What kind of iPod did you get, anyways?

I have an iPod nano. :)

a product (RED) 4 gig iPod Nano

its the closest I could come on budget to a u2 video iPod.

I'm here to rave about my backwardsness! I don't have text messaging OR an iPod! In fact, I'm listening to Eric Clapton on VINYL right now! Go Twentieth Century, yeah! I think I'll go drive my '98 Saturn with the windows down when I go to the post office to mail my bills! Then I'll pick up a book AT THE STORE and pay IN CASH! And then I'll finish off the night with the windows open, fans blowing, and fall asleep on top of my covers instead of using the AC!

good for you paying with cash, credit cards and debit cards are sure ways to debt or brokness.

They're tools. With any tool, it can cause great harm. But with any tool, it can also be exceedingly helpful for you. That's why one must know how to use such tools.

And for my rave...Greensboro, NC is pretty nice.

In fact, I'm listening to Eric Clapton on VINYL right now!

That is just awesome. :goodjob:

Seconded. The closest I have atm is listening to Time Peices on a CD or my iPod. it just isnt the same.

My RoTD - I made a huge mistake today. I got rewarded for it. It turns out that the mistake HELPED and did what I was about to be told to do.

I love all my teachers. They're all cool and laid back. That's because I'm in IB. At our school, the very best teachers are IB, so basically, they feel sorry for us, so they make it easier by giving us teachers who are good to work with and stuff.

I have over many years had EVERY SINGLE TYPE OF TEACHER

the coolest (and best) was one who hadnt even finished teachers college yet.

I just found a series of love letters I'd written to that girl I posted all those threads about. I wish I could always write like that. I guess I'm raving about is the muse of love, and how anxiously I await its return.

Credit cards are. Debit cards are useful because they aren't pocket-loans like the credit cards.

Rave: uhh... the weather's nice?

vinyl is cool, but the people on the train always give me funny looks whenever I put my grammophone on the seat and wind it up :ack:

After my matriculation examination & test week I'll have the easiest block ever! Only three courses, woohoo. I'll play and read like crazy! It's going to be fantastic.

What would you say if someone completely unknown to you offer to play a Bach Concerto of my choice? I wouldn't say anything. I'd just glare.

Ah your lucky. You can actually learn something in the IB if you have good teachers and its much easier.

Unfourtnaley I have to suffer mediocre or incompetent teachers in everything except Economics.

What the hell is IB? Stupid confusing abbreiviations...

Random Rave: I finally got my schedule fixed! :) (but my teachers hate me for it because they have move me around in their schedules and move my homework and make sure I'm in the right class roster and some other stuff). So good for me, bad for them.

God I hate dealing with the USPS. Spent an hour and a half roundtrip in mass transit getting to the post office to pick up the held mail from last week. I clearly stated on the form that I would pick up the mail there.

What happens? They search upstairs, then the clerk or whomever the hell the person was said "Yeah, it went out with a subcarrier. Sorry!"

Which of course means that I'll probably have to waste another trip there this week because the carriers here never actually bother to use the elevator to make deliveries (or if they do, they don't actually stick around for five seconds for the person to answer, or they just leave it in the hallway), the mail definitely won't fit into the tiny mailboxes in the building, or they just won't bother to do anything and I'll never know which bureaucratic black hole it fell in.

Should've known when I saw the clerk argue with three people on line "Go talk to supervisor! They don't tell me anything! Carriers just take crap and go!"

Holy crap! The mailman actually bothered to shove the held mail into my tiny mailbox!

Nevermind that even on the piece of paper accompanying the mail, it said, not once but twice, that I would be going to the post office to pick it up.

Now if only they could pay attention to the change of address my father put in nearly two weeks ago....

But, whatever, it's a Christmas miracle! Hooray!

I've got a girl in my class that keeps saying "present" when doing register while everyone else says stuff like "yes" and "here". So I said "present and accounted for". Tchehe.

I always say "huh?" because usually I'm talking to someone else or just being somewhat ignorant at the time. But hey, you could just grunt and they know that you are present!

I talked to some nice Phillipine girls today :D

Chocolate is wonderful. At lunctime doubly so.

I have lunch with my friend now. :)

My school had a spelling test. Of all grade ninths, only one got all words right.

Me. :smug:

Me too :p

But it was a math test...

Yesterday a girl walked up to me and kissed me on the cheek :)

And than later I went to a concert and saw a different girl that I hadn't seen for a few months and now is incredibly hot.

Women just don't realize how good a dress looks on them, or how good they look in it.

I agree... I think girls should wear dresses far more often.

I'm probably hanging out with a female friend tmrw :)

Muscle Relaxers. MMMMmmmmm.....:sleep:

Balsamic Vinagrette.

There was a diner that delivered to the campaign office daily last year whose balsamic vinaigrette looked like algae...but apparently it was tasty enough.

As for my rave...Ben & Jerry's Fossil Fuel.

Greg's Ice Cream. (http://www.gregsicecream.com/page_all.html)

SO FAR OUT OF THE WAY. yet SO worth it.

I'm alive! :)

Amazingly, 15 people downloaded my Kanto scenario! :eek:

There are many more attractive girls at my school this year :)

EDIT: 500th Post WOOHOO!

My History teacher gave us an extra day to complete an assignment I didn't do!

I got lucky in Spanish class because I didn't do an assignment - but neither did half of the class so she didn't count it! :D (I knew the material, anyways, so it would have been useless.)

My math teacher gave us an extra day on our Quiz.

Finally completed a long run without passing out. Though 13.5 miles on a treadmill wasn't exactly the most interesting or scenic. But hopefully I'll be able to run in Saturday's meet, which is in the Bronx! I've never been to NYC.

Oh boy! Allow me to perform your very first mugging! :p

Where in the Bronx anyway? I was thinking such things took place maybe on Randall's Island in that craptastic stadium they have set there.

Oh yeah. Actually, I haven't yet graduated high school, but I can take classes at the local community college for college credit. So you could say I'm in high school and college at the same time. :thumbsup:

Hey, that's pretty cool.

But doesn't your school have AP courses?

I'm homeschooled, so no. The program I'm in is QuickStep, functions the same way pretty much.

Ok, new rave. I just got a critique on the first manuscript of my novel, and it came back exactly how I wanted. Well-thought out, in-depth, unbiased. I'm taking a break from editing to post here, and I'm really excited. If anyone has a first draft of a fantasy novel, I know a great critiquer. :D

Ooh, I want to give it a read.

(Also, anyone know where I can get a really in-depth critique of science fiction?)

Random rave!

I got my book for History class and got a reserve on my book for Government! :)

I got 5's on all 3 AP exams I took last year, as well as getting a perfect 800 on the math portion of my SAT's

I am on my school's Senior (or Vasrsity) Volleyball team!

I just ate a delicious meal - a burger and fries from Five Guys, a chain that operates on the East Coast in some of the South and Midwest. I'd never heard of them before I moved here, but it's really good.:)

I am on my school's Senior (or Vasrsity) Volleyball team!

Aren't volleyball teams in hs exclusive to female participation?

Not always - in fact, in my district there was a guy who successfully lobbied to get on the girls team as there was none for boys.

Yeah!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

I got the visa to enter the US! :D So after all the time when I've been so unsure whether I'm going to make it to the guitar competition I was trying to go or not, it finally seems I'm going to make it!! :D I only need the plane tickets and accommodation now.


Actually, I haven't got it yet. The woman girl (I don't think she was older than 23 :p) at the visa office told me everything seems to be all right and I have to come tomorrow at 3 to pick up my passport with the visa. :D



And also, I'm happy that right now the huge 8.5 GB file I was downloading got to 89%. But this pales compared to the visa! It's... I think... it's just as I dreamed! That I one day will make it to the tropics! To a beautiful paradise! :D

What could possibly be that big of a file?

What could possibly be that big of a file?

Erm... it's an image of a 2-DVD thing from a friend. Can't say more. :)

Edit: 99.8%... with a 3-hour break a few hours ago, though :)

Aren't volleyball teams in hs exclusive to female participation?

This sentance confuses me, and almost makes me think you are calling me a girl?

I am a boy, and am on the Boys Volleyball team. In Ontario most highschools have a boys team, and a girls team.

The company that I purchased from that ended up with the FedEx snafu sent out a new shipment. FedEx, seemingly forgetting what the word "Saturday" in Saturday delivery meant, delivered it today, the right way, with everything in tact. Thankfully I was there for it (though the phone call from the driver, who really was a "duh" kind of guy, woke me up).

So good job, company! You earned a repeat customer!

Random Rave: Watching this new ITT Tech commercial advertising their new school to get people into the home construction business through design and something-or-other.

They missed that upswing by a few years.

:rotfl:

The movie "Across the Universe" looks really interesting!

If you are on drugs.

Fall Is Here!

Across the Universe wasnt as bad as I thought it would be!

but my previous comment still stands.

Fall Is Here!

We call it Autumn, which is a much cooler word!

We call it Autumn, which is a much cooler word!

But not as cool as summer, which was pretty lame :(.

Across the Universe wasnt as bad as I thought it would be!

but my previous comment still stands.

Were you on drugs when you saw it then?

No, but I did promise the first thing I ever would do if I took drugs was watch it again and understand it. (also a few rows behind me were a group of people who were so high that they wouldnt shut up about "man that movies so true! thats what it was like back then. it was so cool" "your f*in 16 man! you dont know what the 70s were like!" ....)

It is amazingly done for what it is.

For what it could be... not so much

I bowled a 665 series on Saturday 279, 194, and 192!
The 279 was (8/9/xxxxxxxxxx):D

Me is happy, that's my best series, and second highest game ever:)
My highest gameever is a 288 I bowled last spring (xxxxxxxxxxx8/)

Wow! The highest I've ever gotten in bowling is ~150.

Something awesome happened today! I was trying to finish a poster for an assessment that was supposed to be tomorrow. I realized that I couldn't make it in time. But then my teacher decided to include an extra day! :dance:

I had a Physics lab to do today, but I was in a group with the two smartest kids in the class so I didn't have to do any work and I will probably get a really good mark.

She did your laundry? :mischief:

(Yeah, go ahead and slap me.)

In exactly 13 hours from now, I'll be in a plane that's flying to Milan. :D Can't wait.

She did your laundry? :mischief:

(Yeah, go ahead and slap me.)

Actually, she cooked me a nice meal, so it's not that wrong. She's so sweet sometimes :love: The best thing is, I'm 16, so this thing I'm not used to at all.

I hate people like you.

Why? I didn't choose to be with them both, I just wanted to be with one of them. The other had no group so joined us. Iwould have done work, and I am nearly as smart as them, but they had everything under control, so I had nothing to do. "Too many cooks spoil the broth."

I hate people like you.

This is the random raves thread. D:

Ha! For me it's just the opposite; I cook wonderful meals for (or with, this is a good one for "bonding" :D) women who often don't, or can't, cook. In high school it impressed their parents, too. :D

Ya I have a friend who has cooked for his girlfriend's family. I couldn't do it, because I'm not too good of a cook.

Ha! For me it's just the opposite; I cook wonderful meals for (or with, this is a good one for "bonding" :D) women who often don't, or can't, cook. In high school it impressed their parents, too. :D
