I have decided to give my room mate untill next Friday to get me some money. If I do not get some money then, I will be looking for a new room mate at the end of the month. Unfortunatly, that leaved me over $1000 in the hole, plus having to find a new room mate. Also that forces me to get a part time job, not that I was not thinking about it anyway. But still...

This motherf%*!ing cocksucking piece of s&~* site. It makes me sick just to look at it. I found it on a link from slate.com provided on the "good things" thread, on the discussion about the prosecution of protesters at the funeral of a homosexual soldier. I generally don't swear that much, by the way.

I feel like an asshat for posting that. Sorry guys.
Just because that guy is a total SOB, does not make you one. He is the one doing that stuff, not you. Of course, if this were the middle ages, that guy would be burning "witches" and torturing the heathens. People like that are actually doing evil, despite what they say. ~shrugs~ And weak minded people just flock to those type people.

Second-degree burns.
If it is larger than a quarter or has blisters that pop, go see a doctor. Burns have a nasty habit of becoming infected.
My friend had a baby. Everything seemed fine, but the next night the baby died.
I can't even imagine how terrible that would be. Is someone staying with them for suicide watch (not that they aren't strong people, but postpartum plus sudden infant death would do anyone in)?

My relationship of six years ended a few weeks ago, the day before I was set to propose. I made the call but that doesn't make it any better. Now we have to live with each other for the next year because we are bond by a lease we cannot afford to break.
It feels odd admitting something that personal yet it feels good to just get it out.

People who get a hard-on for lower ranking soldiers to call them by their rank whenever unnecessary.
Okay, I know some of the other military people here are going to get on me about this, but what's the point of going up the chain of command to complain about a soldier from another unit being "disrespectful" because they don't address them by their title every thirteen seconds, only for their chain of command to contact the other unit, so that the message goes DOWN that chain of command so that the accused soldier's senior can reprimand them, but CAN'T because they have no clue why the issue arose in the first place, when the offended soldier can just reprimand the soldier while they are still in contact with the soldier?
... Yeah.

Searching for colleges. At first I was into it, I was completelly willing to dig through the over-complicated web-sites to find out all the little exciting programs they may have. Now, if I have to click more than five times to get a list of majors I think "Screw you" and move on. I know that I might be missing out on some awesome university that I'd love, but I have a list already and other stuff to do with my free time.
Anyone planning to contribute to the creation or revision of a university web-site might want to suggest putting a big flashing *majors* link on the home page. Also, including information about courses right off the bat might be nice. All the other colleges have the one paragraph blurb on the subject too, so why should I chose your blurb over theirs? Only about 1/5 of the sites I went to did this. And I am starting to rant, so I shall stop... and resume the search *sigh*.

What are you interested in? As in, what do you want your career to be? Failing that, what do you want out of your college experience?
Sorry, done acting like a guidance counselor now.

Well, you can try that here at Maryland if you like. We have a good program for teachers. I can't speak for language programs, though. And to be honest, getting housing beyond your sophomore year on-campus will be quite hard.

Unrequited love. See my second post above this one.
That sucks. Been there plenty of times, happens to everyone. Honestly, the "I suck at life" attitude hurts your chances more than anything else. Not that I'm an expert or anything and not that I'm the most confident guy in the world, but being able to feign a positive attitude and confidence can go a long way.

That is very true. By no little amount of beguiling, most people find me likable and seem to believe that I have my s$#$ together. We've all got nasty aspects of ourselves, but people don't want to hear about or deal with that until they are convinced that you are worth the trouble. From what I've seen, you definitely are, to someone.
Happy Birthday!
