It's usually older guys hooking up with younger girls - there's one piece of advice, expect freshman year to suck girl-wise. I promise you the best-lookers will end up with juniors or sophomores. But, anyways, yeah there's a shot. Mos def, mos def. Well, for your ex, just use protection and crush a day-after pill into a drink soon after to be safe. Condoms aren't that perfect. For her best friend, I think they're just dreams.

Embrace, judging by your picture in the RL pics thread, you ain't a bad looking guy. Now, while grade-reaching relationships generally don't have girls go younger in middle school, girls are a lot easier to impress. You look like you're sixteen. That will impress her. Steal a car and pretend its yours. That will impress her. Now, the last one might not be great advice. But what would David Wooderson do?

You guys are gonna make the world implode. WHY CAN'T MATH JUST BE 1, 2, 3, 4.

I thought you looked the happiest you've been thus far. ... Am I all alone?

We got a [bleep]ing shovel. STUPID. [hide=spoiler][bleep]ing Green Berets, always messing us up. Throw a Force Recon team in there, ain't no Spetsnaz gonna kill nobody with no super-knife. Or just blow them the hell up with some planes. THE AMERICAN WAY DAMMIT[/hide]

I gotta say Fable. Reminds me of Star Wars, how epic the music is. Now when the third one comes and blows us all away with a 300-hour story and the greatest game ever, the game will fit into the music's footsteps. I like hanging out in the cities, especially Bowerstone, just for the music. Makes me feel safe.

I love that movie. Surprised they used to show it on Cartoon Network. It was very mature for a children's biblical movie. I saw Blues Brothers again. Only the final four-hour chase, though. [bleep]ing love it.

Drove my truck around a little bit. Was fun. V10s are [bleep]ing massive. Now my tummy hurts and I'm realizing that my mom better get home soon, because she has to sign me up for a college entrance exam. I'm pretty mad that she still hasn't, even though she said she will for the past two weeks. If I don't take it, I don't get to take four classes I signed up for next year, and lose about 400 dollars. Really stressing me out. Mainly because the deadline is likely already passed, thanks to how many people are taking the test.

Now, when your mouth waters whenever anybody cooks anything - that is when you've learned the way of the masters.

Just tell them no. I used to have the same problem. Don't say it nice either, just tell them no, they have to do it. Don't take [cabbage] from people like that. The whole "you'll do better in life!" thing is a lie - they're likely to do just as well, perhaps better. They know how to manipulate people and be social. Seriously, doing good in school isn't going to turn you into a doctor instantly. After high school it gets better, because these guys will either never go to college and crash and burn (not really that likely) or they'll straighten up. Just gotta learn to not let people use you.

I'm not sure if he should focus so explicitly on Christians. It's probably a little more liberal where he lives, but here you'd be cast into the goths if you did something like that. You'd be blacklisted for the rest of high school, all because high school kids have to take the extremes in religion.

Yeah, I've probably settled comfortably as a deist. But I contemplate all the time. I don't think there's a single person who doesn't - a lot of people (namely the upper-class white kids that surround me) just stay stuck in their beliefs because they're afraid of change. It bugs me how they all have such similar beliefs and think you're terrible if you don't. I got so mad when these kids were telling my friend that this girl who killed herself would be going to hell because of it. Then they told me they've never even read the Bible because it's too long. Seriously, being brainwashed for your ideas? Not cool. Bah, they'll end up the losers in the end, though. They'll try to surround themselves with the same people all they can, go to college, join a fraternity with the same scared rich kids, and then when they're in the real world, realize what a [bleep] they've been. Hopefully, I mean. Some of them might end up on the "stupidest republican christian [wagon] jerk wife beater clearly redneck worse than us" mockumentaries on HBO all the time. Yeah.

YES. Work experience is SO important. My brother in law is an engineer for Exxon now, and he only had a 3.1 GPA at Tech. But, he worked at oil fields every chance he could. Weekends, summer, whatever. Now he makes 80 grand a year. His best friend had a solid 4.0 all four years, but he threw himself into his studies too hard, and now makes 70 grand a year, plus he says he doesn't like the engineering they have him do. Work experience is a big thing. Of course, if you do something like communications, having a strong portfolio is probably more important. But whatever. I plan on having fun during college. I'm taking as many dual-credit courses as I can in high school. That much less money I'd have to spend.

Just saying, if they want to put in vehicles, that's how they need to.

Well, it was the people who chose it, because it wasn't such a bad place back in the dawn of civilization: http://davidderrick.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/fertile-crescent.png I think you have to look at the wider historical picture to understand why it's such a mess. I'm no expert on Near East politics, but I imagine that as civilization more-or-less started there, it's bound to be heavily contested--not to mention the fact that the world's two largest religions both started in that approximate area. The centre of the most powerful human civilization has moved, but I think there's still alot of residual strife there. Yeah, I guess I understand all this. I just like to make a joke for everything. Although I still think it'd be cool if we moved Jerusalem to Las Vegas.

I don't think there's an e-book of it. And if you don't pay for it, you aren't able to take on the responsibility of becoming a man. Unless it gets passed down to you, which is definitely an acceptable method.

Yeah, I'll probably pay for this, it looks pretty damn cool. I mean, the completely open environment and shared-world aspect really turns me on. Shows that there will really be consequences. Although I hope that NPCs like shopkeepers will be replaced or something eventually, and hire guards or something in the shop. And the guards should be ridiculously powerful. You murder someone near a guard, BOOM headshot.

Since when was Call of Duty 4 1v1? It's always either me and a team killing a small group or a small group getting killed by a team. I wouldn't mind vehicles if they were done right, on a playlist with large maps, like Battlefield. And then small, vehicle-free ones for the rest of you. Yaaaaaaay.

Yeah, that's what I don't get. I don't get why God would choose such a bad place for the holiest city. Crossroads of thousands of civilizations. Dang. Throw the Dome of the Rock, Western Wall, and Church of the Sepulchre in Las Vegas and everyone will be happy in an hour.

Yeah, after Israel stole the land in the first place. Know your history. I'd say the palestines have just as much right on their own state as the israeli's have. I do not condone the terrorism by certain groups of palestinian people, but you can't generalize a whole population like that, and deny them the right to their own lands. After the Turks took it after the Christians after the Hebrews after the Persians after the Hebrews after the Syrians after the Romans... I could understand all that fighting if it was over somewhere nice. Eastern Mediterranean, not so nice.

DID THEY SAY FREEEEEEEEEEEE? Looks similar to an MMO Mount & Blade. If it's free (or I have a job and it isn't turribly expensive) I'm in.

Well, I think his dad has partial custody. That gives him a lot of parental rights: such as being a legal guardian.

I use hand gestures. Just don't let them lead you. Movement and getting excited is much more attention-gaining (and keeping) than standing still with your head down. Even if you pace like a tiger in a cage, it's not a bad thing per se.

Well, there's a reason there're suicide bombers. One reason is they're pissed that thanks to all of Israel's help from the west, the countries surrounding have lost tons of land and lives. If you'll look at a comparison between Israel's original size and the size of Israel now, you'll understand. Now. The Arab countries surrounding have been total [bleep]s the last sixty years. They've invaded and attacked numerous times, all disastrous for both sides. But that's not to say Israel is the victim. If anybody is, I'd say it's the Palestinians. Most of them are terribly poor and caught between everyone fighting for the middle of bum-[bleep] nowhere. Now, thanks to Hamas (which has tons of backing and upper-echelon guys from other Arab nations), Israel pretty much hates Palestine. Palestinians are prone to massive delays when reaching checkpoints, random searches, and of course, the constant threat of some soldier from either side getting an itchy trigger finger. Everybody's really at fault over there, if you generalize. And I can honestly say I don't understand it period. It must be some sort of insane political agenda. I can understand Palestinians that have lived on the same track of land since the Turks ruled the region being pissed, but that's all. Religion? Please. Islam and Judaism are the two most similar religions in the world. They dislike most of the same things, they like most of the same things, and 9 out of 10 Islamic prophets and other holy folk are the same for Judaism - in fact, according to dogma, they are all descendants of Abraham. Muslims just came from the other son (Ishmael, I do believe). So it's pretty crazy ya'll. I mean, if you're looking at land ... Palestinians under Ottoman Turks: Roughly 1300 years. Before that it was a mishmash, although Jews were still fairly dominant. Before that, the to-be Muslims and to-be Jews were cousins. C'mon. C'mooooooooon.

Yeah, she can keep you from getting your license or even taking classes until you're emancipated. Although, you can get your dad to help you fight it if she takes it that ridiculously far.
