| I really don't know much about the political side of this, I haven't been able to keep up with the news lately. However, I fail to understand why we should be forced to throw ourselves into a completely foreign area with people we don't know so we can be turned into soldiers and go kill people. Sounds like fun, but no thank you, especially not in the best years of my life. I might not be old enough to be effected by it just yet, but I have friends who are and it's quite rediculous. War or not, why should Bush be allowed to take away the best years of your life, throw you into a living hell and give you a life time of mental problems? If the suicide rates are higher, doesn't that give you an idea of whether or not this is a good idea? Besides, this whole war is stupid, terrorism will always exist and the middle east countries want us gone anyway. Bush needs to learn that America isn't a country of Superman clones and that we're not all trying to save the world. It would make more sense to try to fix the problems in our own country before we go around trying to fix everyone else's. some good may come of it, like the women's equality in Afghanistan (yes, I know, different country and old event), but I see more harm coming to us than good to us or the rest of the world. |

Ice cream owns you all!  Vanilla and mint choclate chip are my absolute favorites. For the cookie dough fanatics:I found an ice cream that's mint flavored and has the mint girl scout cookies in it, best of both worlds! Random fact: Ice cream sales are higher in the winter than in the summer |

| It's kind of amusing, but keep in mind these are actual people. Nevada was reported to have been sorry for killing Satomi and she killed Satomi because she was making fun of her. I really feel more sorry for Nevada than Satomi. The pictures are good, but it's a touchy subject |

I like it, though the text placement looks odd. I'm assuming it's going to go in the little black gap there? |
The text doesn't bother me, but then again, I've been known to be completely oblivious to that sort of thing. Very little bothers me color wise. But yeah, great job (restricted) | (restricted) |

Squash is right with the genetics. I suppose if you isolated the chromosome on a blue flower and then took the gene that made it blue and spliced that with a white rose, it might work. You could have issues if it was a linked gene(controls more than one trait, for the non-bio dorks out there). Sounds like an interesting idea though. I black or blue roses would be awesome. Even better, roses with multi colors like a calico cat. Wonder how you'd pull that off, maybe transposons? |

I'm noticing that this year is really rough for me. Started it off depressed for reasons which are now irrelevant, but the effect seems to be carrying over. |
Anyone else ever feel like you have so much you want to accomplish, but no will power to pull it off? That's how I feel right now, though part of me wants to think it's because I've done my best and tried to go above and beyond what's expected for the past 11 years of my academic career. I cried over an 89 and an 84 on recent progress reports if it gives you any idea of how anal I am about grades. Feeling like this scares me because I plan on doing IB next year. For those who don't know IB is an international program that's somewhat like a more intense AP. They try to make their students more well rounded and try to make their classes harder and the information stick in longer, as well as an entire class devoted to thinking critically that's taken the last year of high school. To put it shortly, I've talked to seniors who graduated with an IB diploma and they're complaining because college is easy. So, point being that slacking will be harmful for me after this year since junior and senior year is when both IB and AP start. I have so much I want to do. I'm learning programming, trying to get my A+ certification and considering going for Cisco after that and trying to decide what college and major I want, despite only being a sophomore. All the non-school related things I want to do aren't helping either. I miss reading books, I used to read three or four a month, I think it's been three or four months since I've actually finished one. I want to pick up guitar again. I really want to take up some kind of dance or tai chi as well and I kind of miss choir since I quit that. On top of Spanish, I want to learn French, Latin, German, and Japanese. I wouldn't mind Portugese, Korean, Gaelic and a few others either.I know I'm only 16 and I have at least another 20 years to accomplish all of this, but I can't seem to find the will power to even start it. A lot of my friends are complaining of the same issue, they want to do so much, but they can't seem to find the time or the will to do it. The greatest intentions are nothing compared to the smallest action, one of my teachers once told me, and it's true. I can't seem to pull myself out of this rut though. Is it some kind of thing everyone goes through or is it the fact that I'm burned out from working so hard the past near eleven years? I see juniors and seniors slacking, being happy that they're passing classes and it both scares and disgusts me. It's always been a rule for me that anything less than an A is unacceptable. I feel myself being pulled towards the slacking habits and I don't know how to stop it. I think I could if I found some use for what I was doing. Like in chemistry, it's an AP prep class so we should be going in depth, correct? Well maybe we do, but I'm not interested, because, quite frankly, I don't use thermochemistry or stoichiometry daily. Or with Spanish, I've been studying it for four years now. I can almost perfectly fake an accent, I never study and still get A's on everything we do in class and I can usually understand what I hear in music I download or on TV I have to watch for an assignment, but I get so bored with it because I can't use it. I want to read books in Spanish or watch movies, I want to translate things for people, I want to do something with it other than homework and classwork. Bah, looks like a book post. Bottom line is that I'm irked because my teachers are tedious and dull and I'm not learning much, if anything, new and because I can't do anything with half of what I've learned (Yes, I think I'll neutralize this acid with a pH of 4 with so many mols of this base

Happy '22th' birthday, Colleen! |
Hope it's a good day with many good years to follow. This sounds so cheesy, but my brain's dead at the moment, so please forgive the lack of creativity.

Sounds like a really scary experience, glad it's hopefully over for you though. DarkSlaya's right, you should be proud of yourself. |
Can't say I know you, but it's always good to have someone come back, especially from something like that.

I really can't help it. I have no balance or grace and I'm not the most approachable type, so the only thing I've really had any luck in are academics. |
Plus, there's added stress of knowing that unless I get a full scholarship, there's no way I can go to college. I know I go into overkill with it, and maybe that's why I feel like this. But try and see it from my point of view. I'm living in a 21 year old single wide trailer and have a grand total of $300 saved up for college and a car. I'm trying to be happy because it's a home and a bit of money and better than nothing, but I refuse to end up like my mother. She never went to college and keeps the house together with social security and money she makes cleaning houses. I refuse to allow myself to end up like that.It could be worse, I know, but it's human nature to strive for better than what we already have, I think. I know I need to learn to relax, it's just hard. I've wired myself to think that fKitten Yiffer isn't an option and every pencil stroke and second I spend studying or slacking counts. Thanks for the well wishes. I'm still trying to figure out how to pull out of it, and the only thing keeping me from losing it is counting down how many days until the school's anime club meeting and how many days until the weekend.

As for dignity, everyone has their slips. All that matters is that it's pretty much over and you can relax a bit. |
Definitely a nice thing that doctors know as much as they do about it though. I know several people who have survived it simply for the fact that, despite not being perfect, we know a lot about cancers and how to treat them. (restricted) |

I'd like to live in a true democracy, think Athens in ancient Greece, where you vote on everything. Just with more people allowed to vote than in Athens |
 No opinion on anarchy, but you're rather nit-picky to care so much about people wearing a symbol for it. It's kind of fruitless because, as Colleen said, half of them don't agree with the idea or do it jokingly. That's like me getting irked with all the people wearing Christian symbols because I'm agnostic and I dislike the idea of organized religion anyway. Just a symbol, no big deal Be anti-anarchy if you want, but don't assume someone is stupid or that they actually think anarchy is a good idea just because they wear an anarchy symbol.

I'm a citizen of earth and a human, I just happen to be located in the US instead of Canada, Japan, Norway, Argentina, Zimbabwe,Australia,or some other country. Big deal |
I'm proud to live in the US. It has it ups and it's downs just like every other place in the world.

That's the responce I seem to be getting a lot of, just having to work and try to ignore it, I mean. |
I have been, and it's gotten a bit better. I still get frustrated when I really think about it, but I'm learning that it helps to make small goals to work towards and working with it as I go instead of just focusing on the big goals.

I'm in a similar situation as far as home life goes. 21 year old trailer with a cracked but semi fuctional shower and only one functional toilet. We survive on the money my mother makes in cleaning houses and what we get from social securityIt sucks, but you just have to hang in there and find people to vent to. |
Venting is amazing though, so many of us would go nuts without it

I've never had a problem like yours, luckily. |
Glad he was caught though, and I hope it ends up like you want it to. (restricted) | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
