So you're saying girl sweat doesn't smell nasty ever...? Hmm, I like a guy who can laugh, and if he's warm and a good hugger that's even better. I like guys that can listen to me ramble on about anything and not think I'm crazy....and if he likes electronica that's a huge bonus, lol. I absolutely refuse to even consider guys shorter than me, and luckily I'm short enough (5'4) that most guys are taller than me :P I love a guy who can hold a conversation. If we can talk endlessly about anything that's just amazing. And of course, he has to like me for who I am. And he can't be like ridiculously clingy. I mean, if I see him at school or whatever and he wants me to call him that night, sure that's okay, but it's not gonna happen every single night. That's crossing the line into 'too clingy' territory. As for girls, boobies are awesome. Seriously. They're like....chesty-pillows. I love whoever invented them. XD And nice hair. Like, long silky hair. :oops:

Go die in a hole. Although really I can't complain, it's been swinging between 30s and 60s since like November. I really wish our weather would just make its mind up: cold or warm. I like the days when it gets up into the 70s though, it means I can finally leave my jacket at home :thumbup: The problem with living in South Texas is that just about anything ~50 and below is cold. But we still have crazies like my section leader who wear shorts when it's in the 30s....

I confess that whenever I see the "Advertise your thing here" topic my mind instantly jumps to the dirtiest possibilities and I wonder why anyone would want to advertise their junk. Seriously.

Woke up, showered, went to the UIL meet at Mac and competed in the Spelling/Vocab event (still don't know my results and probably won't until Monday), then lunch, bookstore, home. Found an awesome book....A Day in the Life of Ancient Rome. I'm already loving it :]

[spoiler=clicky clicky to expandy]I don't know how to really say this. But I'm probably best able to say it cause I've been through similar situations. Not quite to the level of meanness present in this case but more ostracization than anything. The thing is, when people bully you, you don't want to tell anyone. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. And they're just words, and you keep telling yourself that, but the truth is they hurt and you keep it in and it builds up and builds up and builds up until you just can't take it anymore. And you don't tell anyone because you don't trust them enough to lay out these deep and dark feelings. You're a girl, you can't have these 'bad' feelings. There's a lot of darkness in the life of a girl nowadays, a lot of the body image stuff from the celebrities and then a lot of societal expectations. As a girl I've seen a lot of people generally expect someone who's cheery, someone who laughs often, someone not particularly morose or 'down'. It's hard to keep up a cheery face. (I would know, I've been doing it for years.) I've dealt with things for years without telling anyone, mainly because I don't trust them enough to open up about things that truly hurt me. If something hurts me I'm more likely to shove it down inside and not tell anyone, if something bothers me I won't tell anyone either. I put up and shut up, complaining has rarely if ever been an option, or at least one that has had any effect. You learn pretty fast that complaining gets you nowhere, so you stop talking about things. Nobody knows what you're going through and then once you're even deeper into this, nobody can understand what you're going through. You keep telling yourself this, and you believe it's true. You start feeling totally alone in this world, even though you may be surrounded by people who love you. Bullying has the effect of depressing someone. It makes you feel worthless, and after enough of it you start to feel like what they say is true. You can start feeling totally worthless, feeling like nothing matters and that you're the absolute worst person in the world. The mind is a powerful thing, and it can delude you into thinking that you're better off dead and that you're completely worthless to everyone, nobody will miss you once you've offed yourself. Seriously it's a hell of a lot harder to go to someone than you think. That's why you have to be the one to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, go out there, and show them just how much [wagon] you kick. It's nearly impossible to do it on your own, and it takes a lot longer than you probably think. It's a lot easier said than done.

....guilty. Pretty much agreeing with Sworddude. Death jokes depend on who's around, if someone's recently been through the death of someone close to them then it's probably not a good idea. And suicide jokes are NEVER EVER EVER IN THE REST OF THE LIFE OF THE UNIVERSE funny. At least not to me.

I've done it, the first time I was pretty much pressured into it, and since I've gotten a lot more comfortable with my body. Honestly I think nudity is way too taboo and sure a lot of underage people do it but I personally think it's because of the thrill of disobeying the 'rules' or because of the bit of exhibitionist in each of us. I regret doing it, but probably not as much as I should. The only thing I'm worried about is if the pics get out, but I'm not on bad terms with anyone who's seen them (as of right now...) so I'm currently not too worried. Really people put too much of an emphasis on how BAD it is. Because you say it's BAD that makes teens WANT to do it....forbidden fruit theory in action right there. And there's a lot of taboo surrounding sex, nudity, and sexuality in general, and that makes it mystic and it sparks curiosity. Honestly I think it's natural...and it's just another use of the technology at hand.

stop lying to yourself rickey :P I'm always remembered as the hyper one, and the grammar nazi. Wouldn't change it for the world. :)

Gratz us :]

I think there should be a forum for non-RuneScape related debates. Quite honestly, there would be a clash of opinions, yes, but instead of it being like: poster1: OMG NO THATS NOT RITE poster2: YA IT IS STOOPID poster1: NO ITS NOT etc....there'd be more in the way of intelligent, real-world discussions. Opinions?
