Upgrade....! Hah, I guess I should have explained more. I know I should upgrade, but I'm going to be getting a new laptop over the summer, and I won't be able to take my PC to college in the fall, so I don't want to spend a large amount of money on it. Also, my video card is a PCI. I'm not very good with hardware myself, but I've been told that it is pointless buying a new PCI video card, as they are all outdated.

Shakespeare
You all should read Much Ado About Nothing. I thought it was really funny, and it's a lot easier to read than many of his plays.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I had a sort of odd question, and it isn't necessarily about talking to girls, but everyone. Do you all find it weird if you're alone with someone (in a car, walking somewhere, etc.) and they aren't talking? Because whenever I'm with anyone, be it friends or strangers, I can't think of a single thing to say. Sometimes I can think of some random question to ask them, but that doesn't really work as a conversation.

I play on all lowest settings, with resolution set at 800x600, and I average about 20 fps.

Left 4 Dead
The one with the smoker? That's a legitimate strategy! Kinda. I don't think it means that; you could pounce on a witch with a hunter, then pounce on a survivor. The witch would run at you, and the survivors would think it was running at them and shoot it, thus making it attack them.

Person gouges out his eye and eats it.
Well that's kind of interesting..but I don't think there needs to be a topic about it. People do disgusting horrible things every day.

Recommend a Book to the Poster Above You
I recommend Next by Michael Crichton. It's very slightly science fiction, but it's mostly reality based. It's quite funny too.

Bullying and Your Views
Any topic which is longer than a few pages will go on small tangents.

Bullying and Your Views
Someone told me a statistic yesterday that one in five women in the U.S. have been sexually assaulted. That seems kind of big, and they couldn't site it, so I'm not sure it's true.. Discussing that stemmed from discussing how women are treated in the Islamic world, and how many people there see western women as oppressed and mistreated. Even if that statistic is wrong, I know we have a far higher prevalence in rape and sexual assault than any Islamic country.

Where do you want to live?
I need snow wherever I live, preferably lots of it. Living here we get feet, but I don't want to live here the rest of my life. I would make an exception to my snow rule if I lived in the pacific northwest, rain works too.

Where do you want to live?
If I were to move in the U.S. I would either go to Brattleboro, Vermont, or Seattle, Washington. If I were to go to Canada I would go to Vancouver. But most of all I would like to move to Finland, but I would settle for Norway or Sweden. It would be a lot easier to learn those languages than Finnish.

America - Home of the Free?
For the most part I agree with your post serephurus, except for the part about limiting religious freedom. I am an atheist myself, but I think restricting people from practicing their religion is wrong. From my experience, it seems like many non-americans hold every American citizen personally responsible for the government's actions, and assume that they all support the government.

What was the last thing you ate?
Pasta with pesto and grilled chicken.

Today...
I only have to go to school for an hour to register for next semesters classes. Usually registration is the day before break, but we got two feet of snow that day, and school was canceled. I think I've managed to wrangle it so I can have a free first and second block this semester, meaning I don't have to come in until 9:30 everyday. Oh, and I finally finished college applications. The deadline for most schools is January 15th, I'm a huge procrastinator.

Do you sit strangely?
I also sit cross legged, like ginger said. Sitting with both feet on the floor is not comfortable to me.

What would you name your first child?
your going to name your child after an ugly plant with tenticles and a foul breath? :? personally i'd hope for a boy, in which i'd call him Noah. i've always liked that name. girl wise still aint thought of one. Maybe he went to Marlboro College, or lives in the town of Marlboro, Vermont. It's not just a cigarette company, whenever I talk about Marlboro College people snicker and make some joke about smoking.

Left 4 Dead
I just died about 4 feet from the safe room on sewers. :( There were two of us left going up the manhole, both about 16 hp from a tank attack. I threw a pipe bomb when we got up there, but we both bled out stumbling into the hospital doors. I also ran into someone who apparently was not aware that boomers make noises, and got very mad when a survivor shot him through the door he was standing right behind. He actually typed "wtf hacks".

what 6 words would you ban from media usage?
Can I ban a phrase? If so, it would be "Some people say.." I've heard people use this as a disguise for "my opinion is..." If not.. "Unamerican" is all I can think of.
