  1. Hooray for dates! Glad it went well, and here's hoping to many more pleaseant ones in the future
  2. Yeah, this whole thing is why I want to say I would never, ever give blood even if I were a virgin. But that punishes the innocent and does nothing to the guilty The "logic" - and I use that term in the loosest possible sense - behind the retention of this regulation sickens me. I can understand - sort of, to a degree - how it got there in the first place, when much less was known about HIV in general and every precaution was being taken (but the illogic of that is another topic entirely). However in this day and age, whether you are straight or gay or having sex with someone of the same sex or someone of the opposite sex has very little to do with it anymore. In some ways of looking at it, you're almost more at risk of having/transmitting HIV if you're straight simply because it's seen as "The gay disease". Not to mention the other things that can go through a blood transfusion as well. I've considered just lying and saying "no" and getting through the screening anyway (I do know I'm clean (for various reasons which are all off-topic anyway ) so that part isn't actually even an issue...but damn my inability to be so dishonest! O-neg means they should love me even when spare blood ISN'T in huge demand. But whatever, screw The Man *chuckle* Though I have done some volunteer work when the local blood drives ramp up their twice-a-year things, helping people get set up and being comfortable and seeing if they need anything as it goes on or afterward, giving them their juice/cookies or taking names and information and whatnot...so I guess I can't shake the feeling that I'm still helping support their discrimination Also, ever notice that the female-female sex part isn't a lifetime ban? Yeah, let's go back to that "screw you FDA" thing again Anyway, wtg on your donation(s) Kurt! Keep it up while you can I guess
  3. I think it's about time for one of my random drive-bys to GA, huh? So yeah...well, my pic's in my profile but that does kinda kill the resolution so....howzabout this?
  4. Screen viewing, since I have a crappy printer and evn if I didn't I doubt I'd shell out the cash for really high-quality paper. Popcorn - cheesy, plain, or caramel? ...No, I'm not hungry, why?
  5. IM, most definitely. Sleep and wake early, or sleep and wake late?
  6. Better late than never, right? *hugs* Happy birthday!
  7. Helps to get the URL right, y'know? http://misssnark.blogspot.com/ - hooray for Miss Snark!
  8. *rofl* I love Ali G way more than is probably healthy. We need more of him
  9. Yeah, it's completely awesome how widespread it's gotten; I just linked the "original" and figured I'd let others see all the ones around there. It's pretty damn cool IMO Oh, and Graeme, if it was posted before it became invisible, 'cuz I did a full search of the board with several different phrases to see if it had been and found nothing Oh well, never hurts to repeat it if it WAS around before *HUGS for everybody*
  10. Hehe, well, while your bf looks like he might be pretty cute (that pic's kinda hard to judge but looks like he has potential ) I do have to say that I'll stick with mine, sorry I already know how cute mine is, plus I know him on more than just the physical level too, so yeah Hehehe, thank you Yeah, I almost would, but he doesn't actually know a whole HUGE lot of it himself...still, it would be pretty awesome to randomly surprise him with some someday...*tries to think of way to work that out*
  11. *laugh* That one's also very, very true.
  12. Yay, I get to quote two ....Yeah, pretty much. I wish I could try to rebut either of these....well, moreso the ND one, MS I can care less about Seeing as this is a list of US states, would you really want your state to be on it?
  13. I tend to like blinds a little more, myself. Don't know why Tic Tacs or Certs?
  14. Actually, I'm in a semi-similar situation. There's a few that are on my list, I'm just waiting to here back from them to see if I'm accepted to any of them. Once that part's done the choosing will be a lot easier, lol. The person below me got a care package of cookies from his/her grandmother last weekend and has been pigging out all week Mmm, they're so good. *offers sugar cookies, gingersnaps, and chocolate-covered pretzels*
  15. Oh, man, that's a tough call, depending on my mood. Right now, though I could definitely go for some Honey Nut Cheerios, so let's go with that! Let's continue the theme Honeycomb or Pops
