Ive always wanted to try running with weights in or on my shoes somehow. How do you attach weight comfortably? I can't imagine just taping it on and having it stay there for more than a lap...

haha last time this was posted, I set up a three month timer on my e-mail account with a detailed message to remind me to be the forum "lurker" and come back and bump the post in three months. But when I came back it was gone :( good times.... :lol:

When you get your little notebook, here's the first thing to write down: Never think about world hunger while standing in a lunch line :lol: I keep a journal, but I don't really carry it with me. I record the day and my feelings. I would do a blog but then people could read it and I wouldn't be honest. Or I would be honest and people would learn things about me Id rather not have them knowing :? As for street smarts/book smarts, I dunno how much street smarts you can learn by writing stuff down. All it really does is help focus your thoughts or emotions and let you control/expand them.

hmmm...I saw a trailer, but not voldy :? whatev, I'll see the movie when it comes out, hopefully better than the first two, maybe better than the third :D

Of course he'd have to shrink by about 2 foot in order to do this. :roll: ...A common misconception. In fact, tall people dressing up as really short people is much easier than you might think, and funny in ways you wouldn't expect. What you do: Get a cardboard box. A big one. Paint it black, put it over your head so that it comes down to just above your waist, and cut some eye holes on it. Then draw/paint/paste some sort of face right on the box over your stomach. Next, take a long sleeve button-down shirt and stuff the sleeves with something. Put shorts around your knees, the shirt around your thighs, and tuck the sleeves into the shorts pockets. Since the shorts will probably fall down, just use safety pins to attach the shorts to the shirt, keep the sleeves in the pockets, etc. The whole shebang, excluding the box, will be held up by the shirt around your waist, so make sure you button it up as much as you can. Put on random shoes, and you're good to go. Having been in this costume, I can tell you that it is very restricting and can get a lil claustrophobic, but it is a great effect. Bending your knees makes it look like you have incredible waist flexibilty, tossing your feet around and learning to dance in costume is really funny looking. I wish I had pictures for you. People literally thought I was just some random little kid dressed up as a......box, maybe? Maybe this isn't the thing to wear to a big social thing, since your face is obscured, but I just thought that since we're talking about costumes, I'd throw that out there. Enjoy :wink:

:lol: I have no problem with emo kids or attitudes or music. It's just a bunch of teenagers admitting that they do cry sometimes and they're not as tough as they want to be. Then some people take it to extremes and the rest suffer the stereotype. It is kind of funny to see people trying to be "different" by dressing exactly, exactly like their friends or band, though. Don't hate them for it, just have a quick giggle and move on.

Don't let it get you down, Spooferfish will always be an orange-clad warrior to me :wink:

So if someone gets frustrated and shouts "jesus," do you say "what?!" Anyway, I only have one nickname right now that sticks, "stretch" cuz Im really long and lanky. I dont really like it, but it could be a lot worse, so Im not complainin. Back in middle school, I was called "A-Train" by the basketball team, then the soccer team picked it up. It disappeared when I went to high school, which was too bad cuz I liked it a little more than Stretch. People call me random stuff all the time though, take an initial and add "money" at the end, "dog," stuff like that. Probably because Im so far outta touch with pop culture :lol:

yeah, that looks awesome not realistic, but awesome just a layman's opinion, i dunno how much skill that kind of thing takes :wink:

That statistic is stupid. If someone asked me that question about the bar of chocolate, I could think about it like this: Well, if a good friend asked for my p/w as a favor and said he wouldn't fool around with it, I'd take the chocolate bar and change my password when he was done. Imagine what that statistic would be if the question were: "If a stranger offered you a bar of chocolate for your password, would you give it to them?" Most people would say no, even if they were computer idiots. Most don't even take candy from strangers anyway :lol:

Last cd - Eminem Show Last dvd - never bought meself a dvd Last cry - probably last spring, as part of a play. I didn't do it too well tho Last person i spoke to on phone - librarian haha Man, I wish I knew what the mods had edited out here :lol: Last holiday - well, just finished summer vacation... Last food I ate - Yellow starburst. I would have preferred red.

unfortunately, Ive always thought that prejudice against numbers in names was stupid. Thus, my name has numbers, and I'm gradually starting to see why people dont like em. They don't show a lack of creativity in most cases, theyre just distracting.

I get deja vu alot, listening to conversations. A small exchange between people, or a certain one-liner joke that someone comes up with in a unique situation, and I swear I have heard every line. Like listening to a song that you haven't heard in a long long time but used to know by heart. And btw, that light behind the eyes thing, I think that has to do with afterimage or something. It's weird and cool and I waste time with it too, but I think it does have a scientific explanation :(

I played counterstrike for a while, but I got hooked on Day of Defeat a while back instead. I think the commmunity is a little nicer for some reason. Not to mention, I don't think my computer could handle CS:S :(

thats because it is football (feet are used) we invented the game a hell of a long time before u invented amercian football yeah......I know.......that's why I apologized..... kind of wish I hadn't, now :? And Purcell, I've never been to australia, so I wouldn't know what you call it down there. I just assumed it was like how americans use pounds, inches and feet, while the rest of the world is metric. Therefore we call it soccer, the rest of the world calls it football. If not, my bad. Anyway, thanks for replies. I guess the risk is pretty low, but I've been getting migraines and I wondered if there was a connection of some sort. From what yall have said, either I'm heading the ball wrong or the migraines are unrelated. Plus, high kicks and fights are more worrying anyway. We had a serious hockey player for a goalie once who got in a fight and nearly knocked the other guy out on our goalpost :lol: I thought the sound I heard was the ball hitting the post :lol:

Yeah, I've heard about American football NFL players and boxers getting brain damage that can sometimes even force them to quit the sport, but does this happen to soccer (sorry for you brits and aussies who like to call it football) players too? They do take some pretty heavy blows to the head from the ball after it's been punted 60-70 yards, but I've never heard of lasting damage. I know there is a "right" way to head the ball, put it right on your hairline and you shouldn't have a problem. But still....70 yards and it's gonna pack a punch :? Anyone know :?:

First off: I agree with death by pod on this one; telling insecure kids that they will get fat and have extra mucous and acne if they drink milk is a little below the belt. They are taking advantages of growing kidsÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ insecurity. An organization like PETA claims to be moral. Stooping to low standards of advertising such as this makes them hypocritical. PETA tells the kids to stop drinking milk because it makes them ugly, when really PETA wants the kids to stop drinking milk to save animals. We expect and accept that ordinary advertisers take advantage of our insecurities (ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬Åchew gum cuz youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll be coolerÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I haven't laughed out loud over a forum joke in a loooooonnnngggg time..... :D "Easy hacked g2g Begging - high Level - low" ^^Classic, man Not a bad voice either, although I wouldn't pay money to hear it unless you got training and made it stronger :lol: Thanks bubsa. That was awesome. :lol:

Probably the complicated process of writing to a senator and getting all the proper grooviness and paperwork filled out takes initiative. People who are simply too lazy to do the job right obviously aren't worth the school's time, and this weeds them out quickly. This brings up a good point, too: the senator doesn't have time to read 'em all. If you use proper english and talk straight and honest and to the point, you're going to get the reccomendation. They get enough of them that they have a whole system on how to answer them; my brother did it and I dont think it was a huge deal. I honestly don't think they are held to the same standards that a college application essay is. Not sayin you should rush it, just don't stress too much about it.

Man, kaibani, you got strict parents. Your grades should be motivated by your own desire to get them, not because you feel you have to. That's lousy education. Try telling them that. Hell, write an essay about it, that might actually work :wink: Once the hormones take charge, your parents are just going to have to accept that your grades might drop a little, but that's okay because it's better than you being miserable. No one likes burning hormones like an SUV on high octane, and still trying to keep their minds in their studies at the same time. Maybe we all need to take a step into dating, if only to keep adolescence from being a time of slavery and mindless drudgery. That's why sixteen year-olds should be able to take a year off if they can afford it :lol:

I wasn't trying to suggest that you did have girl trouble, mate, just tellin everyone what my limited experience has told me :D Your plan sounds great to me. I dunno that you have to do all your working out 2-3 hours before bedtime, tho. A lot of the time I'll do an intense workout of pull-ups, push-ups, and sit-ups at 11:00 or 10:00 PM, take a shower, go to bed, and sleep just fine. I never could get the motivation to work out in the morning though :? Good luck with that.

No no no see that's my point exactly: if your diet is good, you have all the protein you need. Adding more in the form of a supplement is pointless. I guess Im talking about protein specifically here. You have all you need in your diet already, and your body is simply using as much as it wants and wasting the rest. Adding more isn't going to make your body use more, it will use the same amount that it has been using and, as usual, waste the rest. As your body ages and matures, it's protein needs will change and it will use more (still within the levels of a normal American/British/Westerner diet), but adding protein to your diet will not force your body to use it. Your body will only develop so fast, and you will reach that speed of development through training and eating healthy. You can't go beyond that speed just by binge eating protein. Now, if you were vegetarian, and could argue that you really aren't getting enough protein, a supplement might make sense. Otherwise, I think supplements are overrated. And if studies show they work, ask who paid for the study. It's probly the same as the person/company trying to sell you a supplement. As for him not necessarily wanting to impress the girls, I never said he was. I was just offering encouragement and sympathy in these trying times, and pointing out that in that particular area (chasing the girls), being skinny is not as bad as most people think. Maybe girls do like more muscled guys better, but I have never seen it "proven," and quite frankly, personal experience suggests that they don't really care that much. And honestly, most of the guys I know like to look good for the girls. If you ask them, that is a big reason they work out. Maybe not number one, but a big one. ...and for some of us, it's really the only reason, but that's sort of a different story :lol:

Since no one seems to have mentioned stretching yet, I thought I'd throw that out there. Stretching the muscles that you are working will help them grow. Someone did say it's not really about what you eat. I actually agree with this, to some extent. If your diet is good anyway, you get more than enough of everything already. Adding this or that or avoiding this or that is only going to amount to a fart in a windstorm. Eat natural, balanced meals, and don't cut back on protein or fat or anything, and you're golden. But in the end, it's really just a waiting game while your body tries to take forty years to go through puberty and you try and force it through in a week. Be patient. The girls actually like a skinny guy just fine. I didn't believe it for a while either, but they've convinced me otherwise :wink:

I've got nothing against them. The reason I don't have any and don't plan on getting any is because of their permanance. I think your tattoos are pretty cool, and I wouldn't mind flames around my ankles, but what about when I'm sixty? I have yet to see an old fart look good in a tattoo :wink: So yeah, I think tattoos are cool on young people. I think I would look pretty cool with a tattoo. I'd probably get a tiger or eagle or something natural looking. No color, cuz I've always thought that can look kind of tacky (although your dragon looks pretty cool with color). But I'm not staying young and sexy forever, and I don't want to be a sixty year old with skinny wrinkled arms and a grubby lookin tattoo :? That's just my personal preference, though. If you want to get a tattoo, that's cool. Nothin against it, I kind of admire it, but I wouldn't want to do it to myself.

Hermione is only 15, you say? hummmm..... They probably haven't chosen an actor for McLaggen yet, right? Time to brush up on my British accent. Or maybe an American flat east coast accent would fit McLaggen's character. Yeah, I think I'll be auditioning for that role when they start work on movie #6 8) And what's this about a new director? I thought the guy who did the first two did horrible and the third was really good. Now they're getting yet another new director?
