At least it's more creative than other FB cliches like the camera picture in your bathroom mirror. Not when every phone made in the last two years has an "Upload to Facebook" button somewhere.

The 8th of November can't come soon enough...

I watched the Blue Angels and other planes performed for about an hour and a half. Then I went around to the local shopping centers and asked for job applications. The application I just did for Outback Steakhouse had me feeling optimistic.

Cotton balls have a crunchy feel? :huh:

Oh god. My family does all of this and thinks that just filling a bowl with water is the same thing as rinsing the leftovers out. So I always have to end up trying to rip off dried oatmeal or salad dressing because somebody was too lazy to just rinse the damn bowl when they were finished.

Guess who's in town this weekend!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6tB8Lf7YoU These guys were literally flying over my school when they were practicing today. It was fun to watch before that terrible pep rally started.

So it's more for psychological compensation purposes than fashion reasons? It wouldn't surprise me to see people try one-upping the other at school events. I guess. They only get the chance to wear them once a year for 4 years so they try to get them as big as possible. With a little more research I've determined that making and wearing mums seems to be a Texas thing...

Those are how female high school students show superiority to each other. The size and amount of stuff on your mum shows how much better you are than everyone else.

You make it sound like it's a Mardi Gras parade. I was nominated to be voted for homecoming prince/king once, but I turned down the offer. Good thing I never went to any of those silly events. Mainly because they couldn't pick one decent theme without sounding insane. I'm not going to the dance, but I'm required to go to the game, which is going to suuuuuck. But it's horrible when half of the girls in all of your classes are wearing these things. [hide=][/hide]

Oh dear god, homecoming is tomorrow and all of the girls are going to be wearing ridiculously huge mums with bells and glittery crap all over them. Every time they shift just a little bit it's a world of noise...

I don't understand why people still use IE or can tolerate it. Before I switched to FF, I used to call it InternetExploder because of how screwy it was with me. I must be the only person in the world who doesn't have a single problem with IE. I switch between IE and FF all the time...

Should I remind you how the jurors got demonized to the point their relations to lovers and community members got shattered in the aftermath, as well as the constraints to being a juror? To be honest, the jury system doesn't look like a good one since people can be pulled easily based on well-placed words or make their mind up beforehand. They can deal with it. "What's done is done".

I'm torn on whether or not to register to vote. If I register, then I'll eventually have to go to jury duty. If I don't, then I'll miss out on the chance to troll the nation in the next controversial case like Casey Anthony. What to do, what to do?

Why does a harvest party sound infinitely scarier than Halloween?

Never mind

That makes no sense. Sacajawea wasn't around during the time of the Pilgrims. You two should be Lewis & Clark if you want Sacajawea, or you could make the 3rd friend be Squanto.

I do have to thank you guys for alerting me about The Hub though. Now I can watch G.I. Joe, Transformers, and other classics.

It's not that bad. So far the worst things that have happened in my time of being here was a pig being stabbed to death and a trash can being lit on fire. Only 2 people have died, but one had cancer and the other had muscular dystrophy. I'm assuming the pig wasn't just in biology class. Care to explain? If you're in the FFA then you get to raise an animal for competitions. Some kid got mad at somebody and decided that the most rational way of settling the conflict was killing his pig. The security camera caught it all and they showed the footage on every TV on the campus to try to get the students to identify the kid.

I live in a metropolitan area around San Antonio. Not really the city but not really a suburb.

I get the imagery that there is way more posters and cameras than what you're mentioning already with the mention of "Big Brother". :mellow: There are cameras, not in the posters but there are cameras. We also have metal gates that can close off entire wings of the building and there's a police officer's room in every wing. I'm legitimately surprised that we don't make use of x-rays and metal detectors.

I'm all for sending them to ISS. I just don't think we need posters that give me the feeling of "Big Brother is watching".

Umm... I looked at the link, but I'm still confused. Is it some sort of financial aid thing? "Generation TX is a statewide, grassroots movement focused on creating a culture of college and career education that leads to the most successful generation ever." Kind of. It's like a guide that tells you when you need to apply for things and what options there are for paying for college. You know, basically everything they've been telling kids since middle school but in the form of "a statewide, grassroots movement focused on creating a culture of college...". So it is an online guidance counselor. Brilliant. Too bad they have REAL GCs in schools. The guidance conselors are the ones putting up Generation TX posters and signs all over the school. I think they go well with the many posters warning students about the dangers of sagging pants. Dangers? As in tripping and falling? As in immediate referral to ISS.
