I am currently a sandwich artist (Subway 8-) ), used to work on my grandma's farm during the summer but I need money for college. I did a few web designs for a company, but since I hated it so much I quit after i made 2 websites even though I got 500$ for each. :thumbup:

These doritos are amazing... i'm going out to get some right now this Friday is terrible :thumbdown:

Just curious, what would you consider the "right reasons" to start smoking? :shock: uhhhm, uhhhhh..... uhhhhhhhhh

Presidential debates! I'll be watching it for a bit cause Obama is a really bright guy with nice views. :thumbup:

I sit at my desk, tell myself that I won't go to bed until i've studied "x" amount in "x" courses. Low music of Coldplay or something soothes me and helps me concentrate. Objectives are fun to reach, and sometimes you completely lose track of time and you go to bed at 4 in the morning :thumbup:

First off, your a best friend, not a boyfriend. Why are you expecting to come first? To me, a females male "best friend" is essentially a "plan B", or an emotional back up to a boyfriend. They'll love you and all that until a boyfriend, (or better offer) comes up. Sure, they still love you while they are with their better offer, but that doesn't mean they will choose you first. Secondly, it really doesn't matter what you think about them getting together. Just put your 2 cents in and leave it at that. People grow from experience; if they have to learn the hard way so be it. I'm not a plan B to her boyfriend, I'm a plan B to everyone she hangs out with. ...get better friends. I have 4 different "sets" of friends so when part of the group starts dating or being annoying, I can just hang out with my other friends. Early on I realized have two best friends is extremely limiting, and having 2x4 best friends makes you so much busier and active. Diversity is the key! :thumbup:

You guys realize this is complete bologna, aye? :thumbdown:

People who start smoking with the exact same reasons you have are those who become chronic, addicted smokers. Out of all the people who progress to heavy drugs (excluding MJ), these smokers make up the majority. You'll be smoking for all the wrong reasons, and it could lead to a bad lifestyle. If someone thinks i'm full of bologna, go read The Tipping Point by Malcom Cladwell or something. Anyways, the best way to get out of your conundrum is to talk to your parents about it. I also worked during my high school years to help out with the bills but one day in grade 11 I sat down with my folks and told them about my problems. They obviously understood and acted as if they could manage without me working. So if i'm correct and our positions were once the same, your parents will value a good education and won't mind you quitting so long you give good reasons and show academic improvements. It was the best move i'd done in a long time. Talking about these kinds of things when there is so much strain and tension in a family does wonders. Now you can go along smoking and doing other things in order to get a nice view of the world without any unhealthy addictions. :thumbup:

Instead of taking naps after dinner, I bring my boombox to my basement and just work out 'til I decide I need to get some homework done. I don't enjoy it that much, but I prefer working out than waking up at 10PM feeling like [bleep]. PRODUCTIVITY IS UP 20% GUYS! :thumbup:

The screen is REALLY nice, I love how it's so long. Also, the widescreen videos are beautiful (I sound like Steve Jobs :x ) The only downside is that when I take it out of my pocket and it's in coverflow, it has trouble turning back rightside up so I can't change the volume. It's really inconvenient when some crazy loud song starts playing and I have to pause it :thumbdown:

Coffee.

I know you know Dion is a smart guy, but sadly I don't think the rest of Canada does. He really is a bright guy, smarter than any other politician running for Prime Minister, especially Harper. If we want a well run country, Dion is the guy imo

Cool thread, I got loads of ideas I could type out but I'll just add the one I find the most hilarious: My friend showed me how to steal from the candy vending machine at school, and I tried it once during a weekend I had to go to school to practice for a show. I was alone in the big cafeteria, grabbing at the bottom of chip bags when a student who I never saw before walked by. I we said our awkward "hi"s and I continued stealing. I hear him walk over, probably out of curiosity and hear him take something out of his pocket. I didn't look back, and he started talking to me (in French): -What are you doing there? -Getting free food, want some? -No thanks. Who showed you how to do that? -Uh, I dunno? (I hear the click of a walkie-talkie) -Get the head-security guard to the cafeteria, now! -wat OOO, ANOTHER ONE (that I never got caught for): Me and my friend (I forget what his name was) were throwing grapes at each other in the cafeteria in grade 4. We always made sure to pick them back up because we heard people could slip on them and break a hip. Obviously one got away and we let it roll off, and 5 minutes later we hear a teacher fall and break her arm. I looked over at my friend at the same time as he did, totally stunned and he said "THE GRAPE!". hahahahaahaha, his face expression will be forever burned into my mind. sooo many more... must get back to biology though :(

makeup/lipstick? :-k

huh, turns out my close friend's sister is working on this over in Sweden. She kept telling me she was going to Sweden to study Physics at a university in Geneva, and I guess i'm too incompetent to piece two and two together. Apparently she's going to be there when the gizmos collide and she'll study what gizmo pieces are made of and find the answer to the universe and stuff.

Don't worry, we won't judge : , nothing wrong with crying. Mine was when I read this (10 mins ago):

Habs are going to win the cup this time of course (no sarcasm, srsly) And Leafs will fail, no surprises there :lol:

I just got one 5 hours ago and: omagawd.

It'll be my first time voting, and I really don't think that I know enough about politics to vote for either Conservs, Libs or Not-so-newDP I'm leaning towards Liberals but if they aren't convincing i'll throw my vote away to the Green Party since the runner for my town lives next to me and he's cool :lol:

Not as cool as Rambo, but still... nice Today I wrote my Engineering exam, and since it went well I'm planning on going out tonight but i'll end up staying at home doing homework and studying for the other tests coming up :geek:

I was 100% sure that I didn't have any questionable items in my room, but after a thorough checking I found 4 cans of Labatt Blue, a zippo and stuff you light with zippos (firecrackers duh) Time to celebrate!

Same here, and I don't see the point in making them smaller since I can never feel it in my pocket. Other than the battery being 50% less effective, i'll still be using the 1st gen nano for a looong time :D 2 days after this post mi iPod stopped playing out of the left ear. The connections inside the headphone jack slot are all worn out and after rewiring 3 times, it looks like i'll be getting the new nano when it comes out tomorrow.

Their economy is going into a recession, you can blame it on anything you wish but the government definitely did the right choice in bailing out all those companies. I don't even want to imagine what would have happened if those huge companies went belly-up. And since those big stocks are way down, the government doesn't really have any of that power until they get out of the recession.

For many years, I lay awake for hours thinking about time alone. Not everyday though, only when someone brings up the subject or gets a bit too poetic. I normally like letting my imagination run, but this is just unhealthy. Thanks Ken, now I won't get any rest

When you get out of Student-land where everything gets payed for you and start living in the real world, maybe you'll start to understand these things. Nationalising them is a better option than letting them collapse while other banks have got money invested in them. Understand what? That the government disregarded all the signs of these collapses for two years and now bail them out with money they don't have? Of course bailing out an insurance company which nearly everyone in the US are leaning on is better than letting it collapse, but they could have prevented it. And there's no need to attack me personally, by the way :roll:
