"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Thats a lot of hope. People can break ties with all their family and friends if it means they can still enjoy their drug. Right. Drugs can cause a powerful, irrational connection that will be more important to the user than anything outside the drug world. I would be interested to know which drugs are being used, but for now just assume that the user will be prone to mood swings, and expressing any dislike for the user's habits will result in being rejected. The solution is probably to talk to some sort of counselor. If you're in High School, talk to the guidance counselor, but don't mention a name until you're really sure of what will happen. You don't want your friend to get into legal trouble, and bringing it to the parents would normally create unnecessary family problems. It really is a sticky situation.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
It's mostly bull. It is true that the "American History" taught in US schools is a bit biased, but at least there are real sources and it doesn't make ridiculous claims like "The Brits didn't actually collect the taxes, those were just there for the lols". The fact remains that the real problems arose from the inefficiencies of the colonial system, especially when the rulers are an ocean away. It doesn't matter which European country would have been in control, there still would have been miscommunications and problems based on the distance. Oh, and being a Massachusetts resident I can tell you that there are quite a few people who are completely biased about the whole "Boston Tea Party" thing. You can go to Boston and get tours from a guy in an old-fashioned wig who will tell you that all of the founding fathers were great and Britain is evil.

Today...
It makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm used to being called by my usernames online, too much so. I agree with this. I think most people feel more comfortable keeping their internet and IRL identities separate. It's not really shyness or anything, it's more that when we were younger we were taught to not discuss personal stuff on the internet, and not discuss Runescape IRL, so it made a sort of reluctance to connect the two.

If if if if. The American Revolution was a result of the inefficiencies in the colony system. America would have been colonized by a different country, then rebelled against that country.

For the record, I'm not being serious. Except for the part about England having an exaggerated role in the development of the US of A.

Things that you LOVE
:thumbup: :thumbup: I'm surprised they have that in England, I thought it was only near Vermont. It really annoys me how they only sell it in pints though. I would have to buy at least five if I wanted to have any left over by the end of the week.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
Most ignorant post of the month right here :lol: Also, everyone has an accent, there's no one person who speaks with the "correct" inflection. And that happens to be one of the things that annoys me the most; that people think there is a right and wrong way. I speak with the correct inflection. Quit trolling. Spain discovered most of the Americas, along with France. England was really only a majority in the northeast (hence "New England"). In addition, the most common country of origin for family lines in the US is Germany. By the way, we won the war. Both, in fact.

That sounds extremely strange. My grandma used to like grapenut ice cream.

My news feed is full of crappy mispelled song lyrics about "love". I surf facebook with my eyes closed. We Americans are the majority, so therefore you are the ones speaking incorrectly.

I don't understand
Use the pillars if you aren't already. If you stand slightly behind a pillar so he runs to attack you and ends up trapping himself 2 squares away, he will only attack using mage and ranged. When you need to eat, you step to the opposite side of the pillar and take no hits. You can also pray sap mage and sap range to reduce his stats. You will have to let him hit you with melee in the last stage.

Anyone Up for a Luring Team?
This is why I never liked PvP - everyone involved is completely dishonest. Why can't you just kill people the normal way? I doubt you'll find much support on TIF.

Your left and right index fingers are guns which just fired
Both fingers were on the touchpad of my brother's 175 dollar mini-netbook. Good riddance.

Philosophy, Riddles and complete mind[bleep]s
This is physically impossible. Not only would it be difficult, but liquids evaporate and glass warps. If the glass is half anything, you need to measure more accurately. The glass does not exist. Bickering and optimism are useless in a world of lies.

If a thread title is half cliche, how many posts will the thread get?

Today...
No. This used to happen to me a lot. Just try to avoid blowing your nose too much. And stop doing cocaine. If it's seriously worrying you or you can't think of why it would be happening, schedule an appointment with a doctor. You could probably get your nose cauterized pretty easily, I know people who've had it done. OT: I spent the whole day reading. I have two extremely boring books to read before school starts on Tuesday.

What are you listening to right now!?
LMFAO Kids need to listen to happy s**t these days. I mean, if that was happening to me, I certainly wouldn't want to relive it through Disturbed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTSQYv34ayM The balance of this thread is now restored. But those of us who don't experience it in real life can pretend to be individualistic by listening to it while wallowing in self-pity, and at the same time be slowly giving up our ability to hear anything that isn't blasted directly into the ear. I do like some of their stuff though. It's just that the stereotypical teenager doesn't realize a true non-conformist would be listening to "IOSYS - Miracle".

What are you listening to right now!?
I decided that was a decent song and wondered why I never got into Disturbed, so I went to listen to some of their stuff on Youtube. Then I remembered. [spoiler=3:25]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0JBlUm2KMY

Today...
I sort of hope Earl doesn't die off down in the Carolinas. The only hurricanes I have witnessed have been lame -- basically all the news stations hyping it up to get more viewers, and then all we see is a bit of rain and some downed trees. I'm not hoping for serious damage, I just want it to be interesting. Meh. Either way I'll probably hit the beach to catch some waves.

It could be worse. At least he's not Dane Cook or dare I say his name... http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAmazingAtheist If you ever find yourself fat, unemployed, and friendless, all you have to do is grow a neckbeard and avoid exercise and you could be the next great Youtube celebrity. The only requirements are stupidity and exaggerated emotions, plus a love for all things webcam.

The Poll
Great idea. I was just thinking the other day it would be nice to get some sort of thread going where you could get a general idea of random personal details from TIFers. For example, in OT, how many still play Runescape? OT: Single. What happens to the previous poll results when you change the poll? Oh, and BTW, there's about a 103% chance that TTanT was trolling.

How many true friends do you have?
Inb4 "none, I play Runescape". I have two people who I would really consider close friends, and a bunch of other people who I don't see that often outside of school. I'm not very social in real life, and I don't trust people easily.
