YOUR Future Plan???
Why do you put "hopefully" before graduating? Isn't exactly rocket science :P Hopefully write a book or something that will end up giving me all the money I need to [bleep] around my entire life.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Good, my children. Good. Now, Neil Strauss goes into more detail on methods and whatnot in one of his other books, but I think going that far to be a little too much. So I'm leaving it at this.

Real life pictures - 3
I think it looks better, although I am a dude. It makes you look younger, though. You're 16 or 17 right? You look about 13, I think. :P

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
"Hey my brother's girlfriend found some pictures of him and his ex, and she burned them! What do you think about it?" Ride her reaction and fluff a little while. Then back in with: "Hey, I wanna show you something." Went to take a seat. Then I did the cube routine Papa used on Paris Hilton. The girl said her cube was small, so I had to improvise. I said that meant she didn't have to be the center of the room for people to notice her. She said it wasn't see-through. She said it was brown, and the ladder was laying on the ground far away. I was pretty mad. But guess I improvised good enough. Once you do something like that, you have her attention. I had to leave then, so I told her we should continue this another time. POW. If nothing else, this book will build your confidence. Sometimes I want to tell people not to read it all the way through though - the end is kinda depressing.

Do YOU Pirate Music?
Most modern record players can take vinyls and upload them onto your computer as mp3s. I have almost 1,000 songs just from that #-o

Swine flu virus
That's wierd. Of course, 42 counties is a pretty small area. And I'm not sure if school would be canceled for that long. A lot of college classes around here are canceling though. I'm only saying what the automated phonecall thing said.

Attack on Dutch Royal Family on National Holiday
Those pictures made me feel good - not because I have some sick killing fetish, but because of all the help that just regular people were giving. Half of those pictures had people giving CPR. This sounds terrible. How many people were hurt?

Swine flu virus
I could miss up to two weeks of school (makeup free) if it's found within a 42-county radius of my town. Happened to my cousins. Sweet gig so long as only a generally healthy person gets it, and has time to get to a doctor. I would have been diagnosed with it if I'd had my regular flu (I had it like two weeks ago) now, according to my dad. Swine flu has the same symptoms of a bad flu or stomach virus, apparently.

Strip Searching A Thirteen Year Old
Because the idea that schoolteachers are the [bleep]ing second coming of Jesus is drilled into our heads every chance we get there. I've thought about joining politics just to raise a [cabbage]storm with how terrible our schools are. I've learned more playing videogames than I have in my history class. I know more about literature just from reading than English. Math, well, I don't like math anyways. And the teachers that are terrible at teaching (9 out of 10 are) are the worst. Half the time they're only teaching because they had no ambition for something better or want revenge on kids like the ones that [bleep]ed up their lives when they were kids. It's horrible. We also have a convicted sex offender that coaches at my school. And nobody's ever been told. I find that interesting.

UK operations end in Iraq
Thought they pulled out forever ago. Thought we were just left with our Dutch budaroonies? Ah, whatever. Coolio. Whoa, that is interesting. Although the death tolls are a big difference: World War I: 1914-1918, over 15 million deaths. World War II: 1939-1945, some 60 million deaths. Iraq "war": 2003-present, between 90,000 and a million deaths. We'll say 500,000 to stay on the safe side. That is crazy. Sometimes the worst wars are just implosions of "OH SHI" while the ones that get a lot more attention drag on for quite some time. Plus, they usually get more negativity attached to them.

Strip Searching A Thirteen Year Old
School teachers and officials are so sad. They think they have such authority ... Stuff like this keeps me on my toes. I mean, seriously. Ibuprofen is for headaches anyways, and I'm pretty sure it's relatively safe. And they should at least have looked more into the subject than, on one student's word, blame the girl who apparently has never had a discipline problem. If I'm taking my underwear off for a teacher, it better be a story I'll tell to my friends and get a high-five for.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Second time it's happened. I have people tell me I look at least 16 a lot, though. And since she looked fifteen to me, maybe I looked 23 to her. Yeah, looking back it is funny. I'll just forget about it.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Ah crap. Anybody notice how older women are starting to look younger? Well, I've been reading that book I posted earlier, and I've decided to throw off whatever anxiety I had approaching women by "sarging" (means hitting on) every woman I don't know and see in a day. Well, I saw a girl at Walgreens today, and I thought, "Huh, do I know her?" She looked about my age. Well, I approached her, and followed a, uh, method I learned in the book. I was a little nervous, but I just thought of it as a video game. So I got her number. And I asked where she went to school. She goes to Texas Tech. So I asked her when she graduated. A month. I hauled [wagon] outta there. So, assuming she's 23, I got the number of a girl almost ten years older than me. She's all that good looking (I mean, I was confusing her for a 15-year old), and I was just doing it to get more confidence. But now I'm in a pickle. She doesn't know my real name. She doesn't know my number or anything. I'm just some guy she thought might be cute. What should I do? I expect I just won't call her. I have a feeling I won't run into her again, but still ... Ah, I just don't think I'll call her. Just forget about it, ya know? I think everybody else would agree with me ... On a lighter note, this was a fun day. I recommend you guys do it sometime. You'll feel ridiculous the first few times, but then you get used to it and s'all good.

Real life pictures - 3
Yeah, he's pretty average-sized, and so's she. She might be a little on the tall side, but not a whole lot. Pretty sure that an average American guy only gets to 5"10-6". We aren't all that tall. And women are around what, 5"5 to 5"7? And I think it's her dress that makes her look so small. Aaaaanyways. Just felt like butting my head in.

That was the first thing I noticed when I saw that picture as well. I thought she looks exactly like an older version of a girl I know. Seriously, does she have a long-lost sister? She smiles the exact same in pictures.

Weightlifting - Your RL STR Lvl :D
Well, a bowflex or something is nice, but you could just get some free weights. They aren't that expensive, but if you buy a whole lot you'd be just as well off buying a real Bowflex.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Said it yourself, you're like her big brother. She's associated friendly, family-like feelings with you (from what I can tell). You're an AFC in her mind, thus, she has no more intimate feelings with you. You could always try for it, but you'd probably end up wasting your time.

Intelligent dinosaurs
I only brought up brain sizes in case someone else brought up the old belief that dinosaurs had tiny brains. Of course, that's not to say you're not right. Much of my thought towards intelligent dinosaurs is simply my fanciful romanticizing of the T REX RAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH. I still think that dinosaurs were at least more intelligent than we give them credit for. Through my very limited research of others' research, I definitely see many species as having had tight family and community groups. At the very least, I can see them acting more intelligently than we give them credit for. Chimpanzees maybe? Lions? No idea how I would compare. At most, I could see them being some sort of super-intelligent beings. As for evolution being survival for the fittest, that may be the final product, but since many consider the journey to be the beautiful part, so do I. A lot of stuff that evolution has vomited up has just made evolution look like a drunken college guy who has to do an art project. And that's petty darn neato.

Intelligent dinosaurs
Mos def. I think it's impossible that dinosaurs were around millions of years and didn't become more intelligent than us. It's my own personal theory that a rogue group of T. Rex terrorists fled the planet and hurtled asteroids at their infidel brethren (theory is the same thing as fantasy, right?). Anyways. Since nobody really thinks a whole lot came before dinosaurs, they probably didn't have a whole lot in the way of petroleum. Thus, not as many petroleum products. Thus, no plastics left for us to find. The whole "DINOSAURS HAD PEANUT BRAINS LOL" thing was disproven long ago. Some of the larger dinosaurs very well may have had brains similar to the size of our own. I just think it's impossible, given how long they were around, that they didn't evolve to a level of using some sort of dinosaur tools and communities. I've always thought about this, and how strange it is that there's next to no research or anything related to it (that I've found, anyways). Certainly an interesting thought. I mean, we had a helping hand with our thumbs and quite an abundance of resources, but dinosaurs had more time and plausibly even more food.
