I like this skin. It matches the whole Tip.It's home page, instead of the dreary unpersonal old layout. However, I'm absolutely miffed that the link to Tip.it's IRC chat is STILL broken. I don't have IRC, I liked (and need) the java window for accessing that. So... if something can be done about that, I won't have a reason to complain. :)

If you have super curly hair, and gel the curls, you can get away with it going a bit past your ears. But long/wavy hair (almost shoulder length or longer) does NOT look good on guys. Not in a ponytail, not hanging down, not in a mohawk. I'm trying to think of an exception... ... ... And I can't. But I do love curls. I don't like it absolutely buzzed, either. But I can't be bothered to get specific on what I DO like. Just what I don't. Long hair on guys generally looks gross and unkempt, and if they DO have long hair and they DO take care of it then I assume they're either a hobo or a homosexual. Short guys in particular should not have long hair. It provides extra contrast with their height and is like an extra reminder that they're short. (Nothing bad in being short, but I'm tall, so...) I know this guy named Brian who has his hair down just past his shoulders. He keeps it pretty clean and it's perfectly straight. He keeps it long because he's embarrassed because he has small ears. They're beautiful ears. He'd look better with shorter hair. I know another guy named Grant who has hair the same length, and doesn't wash it often. Ew. Pretty much, as far as a guy's hair goes, if I can't easily run my fingers through it (unless it's extreme curls, which are adorable), it's too long.

That reminds me of these two guys at school who (used to, I don't know if they're still friends) always give eachother crap presents that cost exactly $9.95. So it was Kyle's turn, and he bought Ian this "Learn Morse Code!" 4 cassette tape pack. :lol: I'll always remember when Ian opened it on the bus.

- A boxed set of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books (1-7) (Yes, that's the Little House on the Prairie series!) - Chocolate (Hershey's cookies 'n cream, mmmm?) I don't ask for a lot because my family can't really give a lot, if you know what I mean. But I love those books, and chocolate is always good!

I wish to complain -- Shaz can post pictures of herself in just a bra, but we aren't allowed to see T-Roach's chest? :cry:

I'll worry about finding a nice, flattering picture later. But here's me.. being me. In this one I'm the one in the middle. Um. That's my twin to the right (my left). And my best friend to the left (my right). We were in this little tourist town about 30 minutes from where I live. AND YES, I'M MAKING A WEIRD FACE. But I'm willing to look silly. And all. I'll worry about sexy some other time. This was after prom... I didn't actually go to prom. I went bowling instead (it was my junior prom, I fully intend to go to my senior prom in May)! And I made the dress myself.. it took me probably.. at least 30 hours, start to finish. And I looked like a fat ballerina. But that's that. Next year will be way way better. Ha, ha! :oops: *slinks away*

Nope. Things would go back to how they were and the new policies would just have to be reinforced.

*fluffles Lionheart's curly hair* Mostly over the trading, I think. And the pking being.. well.

First topic in prolly at least 2 years! :o ANYWAYS! So I was thinking. One of the biggest ouches of this whole new update was that come January, we can no longer give our good old buddies gifts. Or if you were retiring. Basically, those nice phats and things you might plan on giving away when you quit will now either go into a box and be dropped for the masses (party room) or just rot forever on your character. Which isn't cool. Or say a friend gets hacked and you want to give them 100k or so to help them get back on their feet. With this new update, that no longer seems possible. BUT! What if... Suppose you were able to give gifts to someone who's been on your friend's list for at least SIX MONTHS? This way the RWT dudes won't be in business (who wants to wait 6 months, right? I think nobody, maybe?), but your real true old school friends will still be able to shower you (and vice versa) with gifts. So anyways, it sounds pretty good to me. Sorry it's so incoherent. I'm out of practice. Basically, in summary: 6 months+ friends = free trade? Yeeah. -Topybear

I love themed worlds! You go to trawler and there's like hundreds of people. We just brought in over 3.5k fish together. (I got 20 mantas, 2 turtles, broken glass and a boot!) Some noobs haven't realized yet they don't get mantas if they don't work! :D

Totally agreement! Those are some of the best books EVER. Eragon was written (or began, it was finished later) by a teenage guy, so what do you expect? It's not as good as Harry Potter. But the 3rd and final book in the Eragon trilogy is due within the next few years, so go ahead. It's not bad, I just don't like Chris Paolini's style. Read some of Anne McCaffrey's books, or Orson Scott Card's Ender series. :shame: DON'T READ ARTEMIS FOWL. Those are some of the stupidest books ever..

Playing minigames and/or talking to people is how I spend about 90% of my time. Played Barbarian Assault, caught some implings, and ended up burning some shade pyres all today. Oh yeah, and that Varrock museum mini-quest. Rarely am I raising skills. I usually just waste time in a less productive way.

I personally don't watch R rated movies and had no clue what it was about. But that's how I often am, since I'm kind of stupid. Like when someone asked Zamorak: Boxers or Briefs? And he answered "commando." Had to look that one up! -.-; But meh, it doesn't really affect me. If anything, you could say I learn a lot from those "Postbags" and their messages.

Sure people can tell him they think he should go to the doctor, but medically, I don't know of any doctors that post here that could have any idea what's going on. If you want medical advice this kind of board isn't the best place to ask. You missed the sarcasm as relayed through the :roll: . :P

How on earth did you ever reach such a groundbreaking conclusion? :shock:

That's what I was thinking! It sounds to me like he's describing one certain girl. :wink: :wink: :wink: Oooooooooh!

I don't really see how he deserved what he got. Honestly, Snape put Voldemort at a huge disadvantage. Snape was on Dumbledore's and the Order's side the whole time but only Dumbledore and himself knew it. Snape deserved it because 1. He was a creepy Lily-stalker! 2. He chose to put himself into that position of secrecy. Dumbledore would've told others, except that Snape himself requested that nobody know that he was out to protect Lily Evans' son. 3. It's nice for him to be a double agent and all, but it runs with risks. If he had stayed solidly on his own side, I think I'd feel a bit sorrier for him. If Voldemort had not killed Snape and consequently won the Battle at Hogwarts, I honestly don't see Snape standing up to him at the last second. He would've taken a position similar to Aberforth's; hopelessnes, "it's all over, we can't fight it," and probably gone back to skulking at people and stalking other guys' wives.

id just like to point out when i was finally over my first love, this is exactly how i would describe her, so yes there are women arrogant AND self-absorbed. that statement u made is a fallacy I spend 84% of my time being arrogant and self-absorbed. ;)

And even then, we're not. (See shirtless point in my above post!) But I think it's better that we're not. :P

I like it. I suck at photoshop.

I'm not sure that girls are "immensely exotic creatures." You know, the banana slug found in the Washington rainforest is considered an immensely exotic creature. But there are several differences between the genders (aside from the obvious anatomical things). It's nice to see you've thought about it and drawn some conclusions. Some guys are pretty amazing, though, too. And if everyone was a woman, everyone would die. We need males to reproduce and maintain the species. (Sigh). To say that I'm not interested in making money, and that I'm happy with my gender would be a lie. Sometimes I think it'd be so much EASIER to be a guy. But alas. I missed out on the Y chromosome. But I'm happy with what I have, what I am, and I think that there's a very special distinction between man and woman. We're just not the same. I'd have to say we're not quite equal (at least in the USA), at least as long as guys can remove their shirts in public and girls can't. (NOT THAT I WOULD!) But that's just something silly I think about. How equal are we? Hehe.

Not the place for this? I think he's gotten some excellent advice. ( :roll: ) Go to the doctor. I know I rationalize it whenever I get sick or am in pain, and I always end up at the doctor's sooner or later (once with a fractured spine, after only 3 weeks of rationalization)! The worst that could happen if you DO GO is you could feel silly if it's "No Big Deal" (which is unlikely, by the sound of your symptoms). And the worst that could happen if you DON'T GO is you could die. So, really, the choice is yours. :wink:

Here's a question for thought: Which character had it worst in the final book? My personal choice would be George; he loses an ear (and we get all those lame holey-jokes), and then his twin brother. Maybe it's just because I'm a twin, but to lose your best friend and sibling all in one. Plus we know how close Fred & George were. I want to know what happens to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes after Fred's death. Any other thoughts? Or do you think anyone had it worse than George? (Please don't say Snape, he's a shifty little guy who deserved what he got!)

:D That was a lot of fun yesterday! Congratulations again! (My construction level sucks.. 55.. maple trees.. arrghh.. I have some work to do!) And you're not stupid. I am. #-o

Basic reading and comprehension > You Define "crappy". From the impression I get from you, it's anything less than a super model :uhh: There are plenty of perfectly fine females in the world, but when you draw the line at looks, you're nothing but a shallow * and really should /yourself for the good of everyone else. Basic English > You. Don't resort to pathetic insults to try and prove a point. You failed that already and anything you might add to redeem yourself is already invalid since you've proved your worth - and it isn't much. Yes, I can see how'd you'd come to that conclusion since your hand is attached to your body. Well said.
