The exact time of YOUR death...
I have no belief in "fate" (unless you want to consider the patterns found in quantum mechanics, but that's still a bit over my head.) Ex. "You are going to die on B." Now, I can kill myself on day A. But then it must die on day A... but can't I kill myself before that, too?

Real Screamo vs Bad Screamo
Screamo is just a diversion from real metal: I'm sure that it will be dead and gone as soon as the current emo/hipster phase of my oh-so-tragically-hip fellow youth is grown out of. It's fun to listen to, but it would be like calling pirate-metal an entire genre.

What are you listening to right now!?
^ Bleh. New Godsmack album: I tried to not get myself too excited, but I was hopeful. Ahh well, back to Otep and My Ruin.

8 Things Gay People Can't Do
I'm aware that it's a generalization, but I tend to just not read anything written by a strongly religious person. As I said, I'm aware that it's a generalization, but it's always served me well... confirmed yet and yet again.

what to spend $25 on
250 pieces of Double Bubble gum. The only flavor that it comes in is stale bubblegum: no problems with choosing there.

Does anyone know this arse? (forum member)
Tasteless joke, and not altogether all that clever, but that's just one mans opinion.

I flushed my report cards down the toilet...?
My cousin and I both laughed when we saw this. I'm rally having a hard time believing that this was posted on TIF. Hopefully, it's an outlier in the most extreme sense of the term.

Computer Lifespan
Depends on how much you use it. I'm looking to get 4 years out of my laptop (already had it 2). A real problem with laptops is the hinges in the screen wearing out: very difficult or expensive to have repaired. My dad is lucky to get more than a year or so out of a work computer. 'Course, those were also Dells...

Literature
I've been reading a historical thriller, by S.J. Parris Heresy. I've never read one worth finishing before, but it actually is fairly well written, and the characters are quite compelling. What I lack certainty about though, is whether my tastes have changed, or if it's actually better than those that I've read before. Onto some Sci-fi... sorry, SF that a friend of mine insists on me trying. Apparently, I can't just stop at Starship Troopers. Next up, Ringworld.

And unless it's a Krav Maga tournament, he won't have any friends anymore.

Post count
Yea, it may be, but it did get everyone OT, lol. I can't really see him having that many gay friends, and the way his dad acted throughout the video bothered me, a little bit strange, rather pushy. I doubt that he decided to do all of this without some form of parental involvment or consent, although he should be commended all the same. In terms of intellegence, I wouldn't be suprised if he's slightly autistic - I have a friend who was almost exactly like that around that age. Rough life ahead of him, if this incident is to be considered precedent.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Blade I & II, Blade: Trinity and American Pie. Funny, but didn't quite live up to my expectations.

Looking for a Hard Drive
Those are really not very good prices: Western 2tb hard-drive at Costco, $160. They had a 1tb too, but I can't remember the price.

Favorite sayings.

I'm with you there Jase :D Spiders do play an important role in the ecosystem which is your house - why do you hate them so much? I dunno, i'm a girl when it comes to spiders. I'm just afraid of them and I don't really know why. My understanding is that it often means that you had a negative interaction with one when you were very young. (Sorry, FireFox tabs got me messed up, and I thought I was replying to that post in a different thread. :wall:)

People that pass right by me on my bike, when there's an entire empty road for as far as the eye can see. I mean, seriously, you're endangering my life, why?

laptop for rs
My HP G60 works quite well for RuneScape, and a heck of a lot more. I got it for 600, but that was a year ago, and with an employee discount..... http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do;HHOJSID=HVJsL25RPg8QpqcsLNrT6MYP93Dzkh27TbnHWS2Jv6dFwVJsgx1M!429704516?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&a1=Category&v1=+Everyday+computing&series_name=G60t_series&jumpid=in_R329_prodexp/hhoslp/psg/notebooks/_Everyday_computing/G60t_series Compaq is cheaper, but I'd choose the HP over it anyday.
