[yt]BoHzjkdeb1U[/yt] Or Don't Stop Believing. Can't go wrong with ending anything on a Journey note. No way, no how.

I don't do much that would require a helmet, but when I get my motorcycle, I most definitely am. Hell, that's the most important part of safety gear. While I wouldn't want to, I wouldn't be totally against biking naked as long as I had a helmet. But I find helmets are much more important when you're going 40 miles an hour.

Don't do movies. Teach her to ice skate. Or roller-ride.

I'm not much of a swimmer. Although I do plan on learning to surf. Why waste all the time I have at those lovely San Diego beaches? But then again, there are plenty of lovely San Diego ladies instead ... I do plan on going for a swim at some point, though. Perhaps when I go deep-sea fishing, where I get dragged in and beat a clan of sharks with frickin' lasers on their heads to death and cook them for my supper.

Oh, yeah, most people start drinking around that age here. It just seems strange that with such a young legal age, there's such a heavy crackdown on underage drinking. I guess it's just more relaxed of a position here.

Man, I find it strange how many people are getting in trouble with underage drinking - and most of you are in the UK or otherwise Europe. The age for pretty much everything is 18 over there, isn't it? Lucky ... But still, it seems like people here never get caught drinking underage, and our limit's three more than yours'. Crazy. I also just realized something. I won't be able to drink legally until I'm a senior in college. That's pretty cool. Rule breakah.

You guys better calm those fault lines down. If an earthquake hits when I'm trying to enjoy myself there, so help me God if I don't take off my belt. At least you didn't let anybody get hurt. Right?

Nothing, I think. Cops have probably been suspicious of us, and maybe even chased us, because we like to dress in black and run around at night past the curfew or whatever it is. It's pretty fun. We run-in with people worse than cops.

Bellows were built for blacksmith's flames. ...May I bellow you?

Get used to them, they aren't going anywhere soon. Sophomores and juniors here don't have them if they pass the state test. Actually, juniors probably have a couple. But I know sophomores are exempt if they pass. On the mention of tan, I already have a wicked farmer's tan from rugby :lol: Hopefully I'll be able to even it out by the end of summer, but I will never lie down just to tan. Oh you don't even know. I work with my shirt off, and I STILL look like a fish's tummy on my tummy. And I'm darker than a lot of my mexican friends on my arms. It's ridiculous. I once gave my skin a talking-to about it.

You'll be working in the sun, sir? ;) I forgot how many to-be freshmen there are on here. I should start painting my paddle. I'm a to-be freshmen :D I wouldn't put a ' :D ' in that post. Lent's got his paddle waiting. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Naw, but really, I hope ya'll enjoy high school here right quick.

Those songs on their lala page sounded a lot like Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam album. I liked them.

Say something interesting. Maybe "helping my friends with their bmx video" is my favorite catcher. Catches attention. Or something completely ridiculous, although not crazy, like "rock climbing". 8th grade girls have really short attention spans, which can be good and bad. Easy to grab it, but it's not at all like a butterfly. It's like a very heavy rock. You have to hold on as tight as you [bleep]ing can. This can apply to girls even into college, although it will wear off gradually. Remember: It's not lying, it's flirting. Or, you could start doing interesting stuff and you won't have to lie. I, for example, started climbing school roofs recently. Fun with friends, great way to grab a girl's attention.

How are you doing so badly. In seventh grade. I doubt you're getting held back, because most hold-backs are do to discipline or parental choice/ doing so badly they're ashamed to have to at the school, but still. How the hell can you do that badly?

Man, I didn't know most school days were so short. Ours is hours longer compared to some of you. That's crazy... I hate you guys ... Whatever, at least when I'm a senior I only have to have two classes a day. And one can be a study hall.

Man, you guys have awesome systems. Here in elementary, I think it's 7:45-3:00, while in Jr. High and high school it's all 8:30-4:00, although due to 85% of people being in competitive athletics it's 7:30-5:30. Hate you guys. Where am I, Japan?

We come back in August. Plus, we have manly summers and winters. You and your Yankee weather, wouldn't understand now would you.

Aww. It doesn't have anything to say about my name. :( At least I learned that my city is almost 4,000 feet high, and the same distance from both Ciudad de Juarez and Fort Worth.

Is the demo on Live? I should ch-ch-check it out. I certainly liked the earlier games. Infinite ammo on the railgun was ridiculous. But [bleep]ing awesome.

AWESOME. Alone in Rome? Holy [cabbage] that would be so much fun.

Ahhh. Get out May 28th. The next day, driving to Dallas. The day after that, cousin's wedding. Day after, flying to Tucson, and I'll be going up the West Coast until early July (after the 4th, at least). After that, plan on working and doing nothing, dreading and gleefully anticipating sophomore year. This summer, I intend to change a lot. People will notice ;)

Haha, panzer. No advice, you just sound like you're screwed. That happens a lot, words just tend to get back to people. I'd say if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it, but we all like to [bleep] about other people. So just hope she'll forget. On another note, be glad you're able to talk that way with your friends, even if you're badmouthing someone. "Emphasize with the common layman"? The version used at my school is "Yo that [racist term] clownin on me!" Which has its value. Much faster to say, at least. Be thankful for intellectually stimulating discussion, at least.

Try being friends with uglier girls as a start. You'll start appreciating personality more. That's a start to stop objectifying women. Now, as for the best friend problem ... You may just be screwed. Sounds like a cliche, although cliches have to be based on something. Really doesn't sound like a good thing there. I'd just try holding out, looking at other girls while you consider. This is why it's a good thing I've had so many people tell me how to get girls, and I've been able to combine them all. I can game strangers and still stay friends with other girls. I think getting a start so early has helped, as well. Instead of just being one of the guys that is either a complete anti-social freak or just [bleep]s everything he sees (because he knows they won't say no), I'm just what I am. It kinda sucks. Anyways, on the subject of texting, I like it more than talking unless you actually can be face-to-face. Gives you more time to think of what to say. And I have a phone that will pick up the slightest breath as a dragon roar, so there's that.

You know those moments in movies, that people say will never happen in real life, where time slows down and the main character finally realizes something incredibly important? I had one of those today. I want to be a freelance journalist. :D
