I don't even get why you guys think black people call each other [racist term]s very often. I rarely hear it (well, I guess not exactly rarely, but it's probably one of the least common nicknames). It's all about bro now.

I doubt there are more than 35 girls in my grade that I'd be interested it. It's a huge, uninteresting school. To be honest, I doubt there's more than 35 in the whole school. That is pretty lame that you're in such a small school though. You'll have to get a distant one Omaromaromar!

I'm really confused. 200% of guys didn't even like girls before kindergarten. Well, have you two been dating your entire conscious lives, then? Ah, I realize I sound like a [bleep]. I'm sorry. Still want some answers, though. DAMN IT.

If you had super powers, you could throw your ex's car into the lake, thus winning the heart of some geek Superman-loving girl. You'll realize your ex was a [bleep] and you were happy you broke up about 3 weeks into the wish. BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FIX IT AAAAAGGGH your noodly, flaccid arms will only be able to wipe your tears.

Your "us vs them" mentality disappoints me. I'm willing to bet money you don't know a single person from Mexico, illegal, second/third-generation, or legal. CASH MONEY. About 50% of the Mexicans I know are [bleep]ing hilarious. Half of their jokes involve them stealing something, jumping over a fence, or swimming. Mexican jokes. Because they're funny, and the majority of the population in town is Mexican. They don't care if one of their friends, like me, says them. They'll bust my balls about it because I'm white, and that's just more of the race joke thing. It's funny to us that there can be racism, it's just one big laughapalooza here. Of course, there's gangster kids in every race group, and nobody really likes them.

Wait what? You've been in love with a girl since you were two? I find it very fast if someone believes they're in love after 6 months, but we'll say you met at one and half. So, what, you were sharing a juice box or something?

HOLY CRAP. A GIRL NEEDING ADVICE. Now this is going to be a challenge. Okay, first off, you're incredibly lucky you live in Michigan. It isn't the greatest place to be an indy kid, but it isn't terrible either. So. Girls need to give IOIs. If you're really just into getting a relationship, don't play hard to get or anything. I'm not sure about all guys, but a poll I just made up in my head showed that plenty of guys would be into a girl telling him she really likes him. Girls get way better results, too. Just be confident, this goes for both sexes. So, you could pretty much Zerg Rush him with likeage, OR you could do a more girlish thing: just indicate you're interested. Maybe let him catch you staring occasionally, hold eye contact, touch him playfully. Be flirty. Just don't be like most girls and pull away as soon as the guy makes a move. You won't be dealing with someone who understands what I'm telling you (odds are), so you'll have to try and be natural. I also encourage you to look at other guys. Neither of those sound like real good choices. I personally don't think I could find myself dating you in either of their shoes, but I don't know any insinuating circumstances so that's a total guess. If you start dressing up a little more, that can help. It can be the same problem with girls AND guys - not wearing well-fitting clothes, not being confident about how they look, stuff like that. You could try wearing the occasional dress or skirt, but I'm pretty sure I don't know even the girliest girls at my schools that wear dresses and skirts on an everyday basis (or, really, ever). One bad thing with you living in Michigan is the fact that you describe yourself as a tomboy. Down here, most of the women are probably more into football and four-wheelers and other more boyish stuff than a lot of guys up there :lol: Being a tomboy is just accepted here. I think you should buy a pretty, well-fitting dress, some girly heels, let your friend (who I'm assuming is a "girly girl") do your hair or whatever. Some perfume or something, I don't know. I couldn't begin to list all the crap girls do for us guys, and I'm incredibly thankful for it all. This is probably terrible advice. I always think it comes so much easier to girls for some reason. Just make yourself more approachable, if you at all can. To be honest, talking to any of your friends that is more successful would help. If they tell you anything you're really confused by or uncomfortable with, bring it here and odds are we'll be able to decipher it to more level-headed terms. Sometimes girlier girls can be quite wrong in what they think turns on a guy. Fubol, try to win back the best friend first, OR SHE WILL EVER-LOVINGLY DESTROY YOU. At least neutralize her. If you need me to explain on that more fully, I can try. With the girl though, avoid dull topics like school and weather or whatever. Maybe you just saw a cool band. Bring it up. Ask her a questions. At least make the conversation go 50/50 split between you and her talking. When it's just one-on-one with a girl, NEVER talk more than her, it makes you appear a lot less confident. If you can get her talking much more than you, it's actually better. Just don't interview her with questions. Keep cocky-funny, but don't make a complete idiot of yourself. Some self-deprecation will definitely give you brownie points, just make yourself the joke of more cruel jokes, and occasionally do something stupid. It will make her confidence go up, which can be a powerful tool if used right. Now, just a bit of a report from today. In journalism, had some fun, mostly a screw-around day since we're supposed to sell ads in the yearbook but NOBODY IS UP at 8 in the morning, so nobody was picking up :lol: So I called my sister and my brother, brother never answered, but my sister talked about the Collective Soul concert she saw yesterday (her and her husband's two-year anniversary. Wow, it's been two years?), talked to her for a minute. Anyways, that led to me talking to some freshman girl that came in late and sat down at this table with me, a sophomore girl, and a junior girl that I'm already becoming great friends with. ANYWAYS. These are our seating charts for a while, which is good, since every single one of them is cool and attractive. Go me. I was also getting a lot of looks from this table full of cheerleaders I already sorta know, since our whole table was just laughing and joking the whole time. Alright, so at first the fish-girl was kind of quiet and shy, you know, because me and the junior were joking around pretty obnoxiously. Then, I noticed the freshman was pretty damn good-looking. How will this turn out? Tune in Friday, I plan on pulling something then. I noticed that right at the bell, she came in 10 minutes before the period was over :lol: The girls in my history class are pissing me off, though. One of them asked me what I was doing this weekend, and one was hinting at it, tying to get me to ask her. But I'll be in Dallas this weekend, so I kinda cold-shouldered them with a plain "I'm gonna be busy." Not the best move, but I think it worked all right. Sorry for the novel, folks. About half of it doesn't need to be read.

After we finish (possibly), I know next to nothing of the context. That probably would help, wouldn't it? I was just never that interested in the time period. All the same, I have to read it for two classes, and I learned I can't use the same book because "our annotations have to be different". Why can't I just use a different damn color, so I don't have to buy a [bleep]ing ten dollar book when I got one for free? Stupid.

It is very beautiful, don't get me wrong. But it just doesn't interest me, I guess. It slows down so much I feel my eyes straining to read as fast as they can, without comprehension, which I don't like. Being forced to read and highlight it can't help either, though.

Horrifyingly complex and slow. Where's the guillotine, dammit? I just don't like such descriptive writing. Of course, the speech habits of Victorian English and French folk isn't exactly something I enjoy reading, either. Too much formality.

Engineering is an incredible job. You'll have to go to school for a while, but my brother-in-law is an engineer for Exxon now, and his starting salary was 84,000K a year, plus he had a whole bunch of [cabbage] they gave him at the beginning. BUT. If you plan on doing something like that, keep your grades pretty good, but make ABSOLUTELY SURE you have great work experience. Exxon is actually starting to go more towards alternative energy as well, so who knows. So that would really be a great idea. You'll have to like a lot of math, though. You wouldn't really need a minor in business management if you became an engineer, it would take a lot of extra work. But, hey, I can't tell you what to do. Maybe you'll start the biggest alternative energy company in the world in 2020.

Man, I still have 40 pages to read. [bleep]ens is damn difficult. I have to highlight it too, but I can't highlight when I read. Whenever I read something, I turn it into a movie. If I broke that flow by highlighting, it'd take even longer. Damn.

I'd say the girls are a plus of middle school, but it's wrong. And Chris Hansen may be watching. I friggin killed my homework. Gotta just get some more contact numbers for the ads and read the rest of the book. Not too shabby if I say so myself. Should be done by 10, although I did start at 5, so I guess that isn't so great. God, how the limey [bleep] will I work 4:30-7:30 when I have this much homework the second week of school?

Don't know about Betty, but I worked with a girl named Bethany for over a year. She was fiiiiine. All of the Lexi girls out there are NICE. There's a reason for "Sexy Lexi". Speaking of, I have one in one of my classes tomorrow. Only thing is, she looks like she's 23. A babe, though, just oddly old for her age. I've been told I look like a college kid, though.

I'm guessing about 100% of the posters of this thread iare white, and about 70% are by far the majority race in their schools, cities, whatever. Enjoy your skiing. Aren't there hardly any black people in the Netherlands?

Depends on how people take it, context and all. (Dammit got beat) I say it to my couple of black friends. Not that big of a deal with the younger generation. But, all the same, if someone wants to get offended, they will - this goes with anyone, although generally it's black people and girls that can get offended (At least by stuff I do). If I hold the door open for you, I don't really want to get yelled at, damn it. So, yeah

What bothers me is the [bleep]s who say their pen0r is 8 feet long, and then call be a [developmentally delayed] when I say that if they ever got hard the blood would get sucked out of their brain and kill them. Quit thinking your more mature or better than them in any way. It will definitely destroy your social reputation if you keep doing that. Just play along, join in, you'll be in. It never stops, trust me. It gets better once you hit sophomore year, but there's a reason we all hate freshman. I was pretty lucky, my class stopped acting like freshmen real quick. Just today me and some friends were having a conversation. I wasn't paying much attention, just walking with some guys I knew before class started. Somehow, some kid none of us liked joined and said, "(Me)'s so gay!" One of my buddies was like, "Yeah, he is. But he's hung like a horse." Another came in, "You mean horses wish they were hung like (me), bro." First kid got all quiet and left. Which kid do you want to be? Anyways... It's funny as [cabbage], to be honest. It continued on like that for [cabbage]s and giggles. It's just being a guy, it's what we do. Even better, my theater teacher heard the whole damn thing, and I had her for first period. Fun class today. :lol: So, today was alright. I literally have a pile of homework. Have to read 60 pages of A Tale of Two Cities, contact at last five businesses about advertising in our yearbook, study for World History (I don't even know what the [bleep] for), study for a makeup quiz in chemistry, do five pages of makeup work in Spanish, and probably other stuff that I forgot about. [cabbage] [cabbage].

If you're able to make friends with just a couple people in every single "group" at your school, it makes it so much easier to make friends. My opinion's generally listened to by a lot of people, so whenever anybody starts downing on someone I know, I usually just say, "What're you talking about bro, that guy's tight as hell!" or something along those lines. It would help a lot. Just do that and have a mad-positive attitude. You're the hottest [cabbage] there. And Nick, I've never met a good-looking girl named Bethany. Never seen one named Betty, though. Both are kind of nasty-sounding names.

Wow, your school sounds stupid. About the only thing you'll use after high school is going to be the social skills you're supposed to gain. However, more and more people are either being forced to devote every waking second to studying, and some just blow everything off. Neither extreme is good. Bad juju with the teams thing, though. Real stupid. Guess you have to make some new friends, though. 40 Oz to Freedom (a pretty good Sublime tribute band) is coming to a bar here at the end of September. I'm trying to see how I can go, because it's gonna be a popular show. I'm probably gonna be able to get tickets to the Tech-A&M game for 10 bucks a pop, too :thumbup: Still debatable on whether I should keep them for myself or sell them, though. I could easily get 300 bucks each for them the week before the game, and then buy a whole bunch of tickets for a game like New Mexico or Rice. But, hey, you only live like thirteen times.

Haha, I wouldn't. You should never regret your first time. I don't really get why people say that, the only ones that regret it are the ones that get someone pregnant or catch an STD (because they're idiots). Just kidding, I'm just gonna trip next time I see a girl wearing a skirt.

Yeah, that's true. But it isn't like I wouldn't make sure. Plus, no glove no love.

I'm aight with my school. It sucks, but the little things can keep ya going. (Freshman) Girls discovering how useful push-up bras are, for example. But a little tip, ladies: a little goes a long ways. I had a lot of homework today. I got home at 4:30, Got started on it all at 6:30, just finished it at 10. I have no idea how I'm gonna work on top of this all, but I guess I have to if I want insurance and gas for my car next year :?

Same thing, it's called a Chrysler Neon pretty much anywhere except for the US. Mainly because a lot of us aren't quite as proud of Chrysler.

I wouldn't doubt my having sex by this time next year. I'm a late-bloomer by my school's standards. Only problem is, I never stick around long enough. Oh well. I'm trying to find a girl I actually like enough to call my girlfriend (not hesitantly, either).

Originally it was hatred of the North, thanks to Sherman and Grant's total war policies resulting in the utter destruction of much of the South. I wouldn't exactly call it a loss, considering the North began destroying everything they could in an effort to end the war of attrition (which, funnily enough, would have caused the Confederacy's loss before too long anyways. Even in the beginning of the war, Rebs would be forced to pick shots carefully due to having only a few balls and a tiny bit of powder). All the same, the KKK rapidly fell into the ridiculous group of [wagon] it is today. Well, more along the lines of the Reconstruction-era KKK.
