Technically I dated a friend once for three months. The problem was that we could never get together in those months because she worked at night and was tired the next day from working the previous night (until 10+ pm). We're still friends though, even though she's engaged to someone I don't approve of (alas, my morals of not caring about other peoples' opinions comes to bite me in the ass). In fact she's excited that I'll be commuting to school for my remaining four semesters in my ten semester program since we'll be able to hang out more often. Would I be inclined to date a close friend now? Thinking back on all of them, no. It would be too weird because we would start doing the romantic things that I previously thought we would never do as friends. Then there is the risk that if the relationship were to end on a bad note, we would lose a friendship that we otherwise would have never lost had we not gotten entangled in the chasm that is romance in the first place.

IIRC the video didn't say anything about his genitalia. As far as I can tell, he still had his vagina. All he's done really is get breast reduction surgery, dress like a man, take testosterone shots/pills, etc. Again, he hasn't had the entire gender reformation surgery.

I concur wholeheartedly with the first three programs introduced here. But here is a better procedure for running them: 1. Download all three and make sure they are all completely up to date. 2. Run Ad-Aware. 3. Reboot into safe mode and then run Spybot: Search and Destroy. 4. Reboot into normal mode and run Ad-Aware, then Spybot once more (to be sure they get everything, they should report a clean system). 5. Run AVG. 6. Reboot again (if you like, to clear the system memory) and set AVG to constantly monitor your system. 7. Run Ad-Aware and Spybot once every one or two weeks. This is what any computer-savvy person does to keep their system clean and running efficiently. It also helps to run disk cleanup and to defragment your hard disk drives at least once a month. If some virus' remain, specifically trojans, then you should also consider a program called Trojan Remover. Trojan Remover was written to aid in the removal of Trojan Horses and Internet Worms when standard anti-virus software has either failed to detect the problem or is unable to effectively eliminate it. I used it once when I had a persistant trojan virus that neither Ad-Aware nor Spybot could successfully remove from my systen. TR essentially grabbed the thing and ripped it out. One more thing. What browser do you use? If you're still using Internet Explorer, STOP! Download Firefox, Maxthon, or Opera and use those. The only reason IE is still on my system is because Microsoft occasionally requires you to use it to download OS updates and such. Besides that, it's the worst browser on the planet and is a large reason for virus' and spyware getting onto peoples' computers. Also, don't bother getting a Mac. The only reason that Macs are largely virus free is because they are not mainstream, and so hackers and such write code for Windows to hit as many people as they can. The Mac OS is so terrible that it isn't worth going to. If you want the fancy stuff that Apple puts into their OS, then get Vista Ultimate. You can have the cool stuff that Macs have while still being a user friendly system (once the security features are toned down, anyway).

Meh, I never got into WoW simply because of that ridiculous continuous usage fee. At this moment I'm playing Frozen Throne because I've had a craving for it since yesterday (playing through the campaign). I also play The Sims 2: Seasons on PC and I've been playing Mass Effect for 360 a little more recently (Shepard and Kaiden Alenko are both hot characters!). I played Need For Speed: Pro Street a lot, but it got repetitive.

Uh, Kevvers.. people have been saying that since last year. Not a hundred years from now.

Have you ever watched "Metalacolypse" on Adult Swim? There's an album out featuring the music from the show called "The Dethalbum", band is Metalacolypse: Dethklok. I've been listening to it recently and I love it!

That reminds me... I need to go through my toolbox and sort my sockets. Right now they're kept in the plastic bags that they came in, but those bags aren't resealable. Many of them are kind of all over the place, but luckily my car uses many of the same sized nuts and bolts, so the main ones are just tossed into the toolbox's tray.

I'm a slob. I'll admit it. BUT my messes are normally organized messes. I know where everything is! As soon as I clean anything, I lose them! The only things that I am anal about now are computers and audio. I simply cannot use stock audio for cars, home entertainment, or computers. Everything is upgraded! Additionally I'm anal about software on computers. I still use Windows 2000 on my desktop because I refuse to downgrade to XP. I also downright refuse to send my computer to the abyss by installing Vista until Microsoft gets it right and I can find Ultimate for cheap ($190 is NOT cheap by any means). Plus I want to have a guinea pig system for it first. My desktop is more than adequate... but the laptop needs work ($200 worth of upgrades before getting the $190 OS). My best bet would be to wait until I do my video card upgrade on this machine, then donate the current video card to my old custom desktop (still sitting on my bedroom floor with only year-old parts in it) and upgrade the memory, install my old-ass hard drive and the original power supply and bada bing bada bing I'll have my test subject It runs on older memory, but the upgrade shouldn't cost too much... particularly if I can get some from my sister's old systems. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then just assume I'm being anal.

I'm usually on the computer and internet for 10+ hours each day. 14+ hours on Thursdays sicne both of my classes are computer-based on that day.

I never go a day without eating meat... unless I forget to eat that day... which has happened before. I wasn't gonna say it lmfao.

My '03 Pontiac Grand Prix. Lol it was always working, it just has an aggressive tone to it now. It's enough to satisfy me without pissing off my neighbors Anytime

My first and longest relationship lasted for about six months in the seventh grade. The night she broke up with me remains the happiest night of my life lmfao. I had only one other relationship that lasted for just the summer between my sophomore and junior years of high school. We ended it because she was working so much that we never saw each other, but we're still good friends. Our only obstacle now is that she started dating a boy from West Point (military school in West Point, NY) who asked her to marry him. He is FAR from being good enough for her, and that fact has nothing to do with him being in the military.

I'm celebrating finally getting my car's exhaust system worked! It's gonna sound badass in a few hours I know, 90% of you won't know what the heck I'm talking about, so just nod your heads and smile lol.

I've always known you guys to be a friendly bunch, but DAMN there's a lot of poking a biting going on in here!

Dude, I zone out like it's nobody's business! My roommate once had a five minute conversation with me, and when he was done speaking I said, "Huh?" Although that's partly because we were in our then-lounge and I was watching the TV. But, I tend to zone out completely within the first few seconds of any given conversation. I'll miss an hours worth of lecture in class because of zoning out. Just last week I was waiting in line for service at student records. Eventually, the girl behind me tapped my shoulder and pointed to the service window, where a woman was waving her hands at me lmfao. Last night, my friend/neighbor Debbie was ringing the bell to get into our building since she had forgotten her ID. Nobody heard the bell, but I found her as I was coming down the stairs to get a Silverchair CD from my car. Later on she apparently came into my room to thank me, which she did four times until my roommates girlfriend yelled, "ROB!!!" to snap me back into reality (I guess I was just that into GA hahaha). Sometimes I start to wonder if I have an illness... ten minutes later I snap back into reality and start wondering again. lol

Myr, rhymes with sir, as well as the first syllable of Merlin. I don't even know how to pronounce those first two options... they look like two syllable words! I was thinking that too lmao.

I picked both of the last options. I hate talking to people over the phone, not to mention that I often can't hear them because of background noise or poor reception. Texting is easier to do, particularly on my enV (clamshell phone with full QWERTY keyboard on the inside). I don't personally text a lot, but I had to get a basic texting plan ever since my cousin somehow managed to get my number. She texts about 250 times a day, and my plan is 250 for a month, both sending and receiving. Her parents found it easier to get the $10 per month unlimited plan, whereas I picked the $5 basic 250 plan since I won't use that many texts in a month. I don't like texting for conversations, but apparently my cousin likes have six text conversations going at once.

I was almost caught doing arm exercises... but I was under the covers and I had the TV on playing some random channel lmao.

Maybe it's the migraine medicine/Non-Linear equations running through my head at 2:20 am, but -- what?

I might as well just set up a permanent residence in the gutter. lmao

The best "girls being terrorized by a mad-man" movie ending ever.

Would you mind if some of us borrowed your unit so that we can copy its program and take notes on the overall design? lmfao

Oddly enough he talked to me before class yesterday. I was just sitting there, minding my own business, when he asks me what's up and says that he's glad it's the weekend. He then asked if I was going to parties, since I said that I was staying here for once. What makes me wonder is he took the time to say, "Yeah I'm gonna get some girls." He doesn't strike me as the type of guy to "get some girls" and I've NEVER heard any straight guy say that unless they were shit-faced. There's a good chance that he knows that I'm in the GSA since he happened to be walking past the meeting room when we were all watching the Family Guy movie on one of the classroom projectors. He stuck around to watch it with us and promptly left when it ended and I got up to retrieve the DVD (it was mine). It was dark and I was on the otherside of the room, but from what I could tell he was enjoying himself -- laying on one of the tables on his back.

My best friend's sister's best friend recently changed his "interested in" on Facebook from women to men! I KNEW IT FROM DAY ONE! I swear, this guy fits every single gay stereotype imaginable! The clothes, the looks, the hair, the mannerisms, the whole nine yards! I had him pegged as gay since high school, but my best friend kept saying, "Nah, he's straight, he dates Meghan!" Bullshit! Why am I so excited? My gaydar actually WORKS! HAHAHA! Ok, maybe it's not completely functional yet, but it's good news since it's pinging on this cute guy in my Statics class who I'm curious about.

Damnit Frank, I wanted to stop thread-jacking, but your nurturing it! When you're close friends with someone for damn near 12 years, it's hard to let go. He was one of the first neighborhood boys to talk to me and make friends with me when I first moved to Jersey from Florida. He and I share hobbies (cars, computers, snowboarding) and always have something do do together. I will say this though, ever since he started dating that whore, I've been getting more and more sick of him. He's weak, even though he's in the Navy, and bowed to her wishes every second of every day and with every penny he ever earned. She broke up with him because he wasn't paying her enough attention. I was proud of him for calling her a bitch, but he still has feelings for her, which is really sad. Given all that, I still can't just drop him like a bad habit, even though his morals are 100% driven by his Roman Catholic upbringing. Supplement that with the fact that, after this coming May, I won't see those other people anymore. I'll see a couple of the them a few times over the summer since we have a class together then, but the rest will pretty much disappear. Two of the gay ones are going to CA, who knows about the other. My time will be spent in North/Central NJ. Frank/Kevin (Frevin?) you can PM your thoughts about the "other things" I'm willing to do with those friends since I do have a very good reason for doing them with them, and not someone who isn't a close friend.
