I'm smiling because I was successful in putting new rotors on my car, as well as replacing the windshield washer pump! But it's only a half smile because the pads are STILL dragging on the passenger side. I have to drop it off at a garage to get looked at.

Is it really that hard for GA to keep its mind out of the gutter? I really shouldn't be the one to ask that

I still don't get what's so fascinating about clothes... I can't f**king wait until I can quit my job at a clothing store and get either an internship next summer, or a job in mobile audio/electronics. My car's trunk would be my resume LOL.

I'm still voting for Jersey... lol. If it goes to NY for 2009, then I might be able to attend... both for proximity and the fact that I could probably get away with extended weekends more easily... unless school gets in the way.

Overtake? THEY ARE GA!

HELL NO! I WON'T GO! Lol, I had to do it. Actually, I want to go, but there's no way in hell I could ever do it. In fact, just because of the fact that I still live with my parents means that I won't be attending any such functions until I graduate, live on my own, and can afford the plane tickets. I can hardly afford to put gas in my car, let alone fly across the country!

The article itself was an interesting read, but the scary part didn't come until the end. After going through your response I decided to apply his story to mine (as it stands) to see if there were any overlaps... and I realized that his life and mine almost go hand in hand. I have two lives... the gay one here on the internet and the straight one all around me. My problem though is that I am always thinking of others when I choose to remain closeted, rather than myself, and it's becoming harder and harder to say to myself, "I'll tell them when they ask." I just hope that I can still cling to the plan of starting my life after college well away from my life before graduation and then coming out to those who matter the most, and then moving to a need-to-know basis. I'm just glad that I have so far resisted any kind of relationship beyond friendship with anyone since I dated my now best female friend for a few months in high school. Though, sometimes I want to get back together simply to protect her from the dangerous positions she puts herself in. It's the knowledge that doing so would only cause more long term damage (i.e. Williams situation with Lisa) than it would short term good (allowing her to officially kick the habit of seeking out military boys who have only caused her pain).

If ya'll want to gamble, then how about Atlantic City? It's much more convenient! Like, 20 minutes away from my apartment convenient LMAO.

If you host the pictures at Photobucket, then you need only click the mouse once in the line under the image that shows IMG tags, then hit CTRL + V in the forum reply window.

*tosses a scrap of paper with "New Jersey" scrawled on it into the hat of locations* My biggest problems would be explaining to everyone where I was going *not at ALL out except to a possible **** buddy* and finances, since I make maybe $5,000.00 per year, and that all goes into my car in some fashion.

You remind me of the woman we got our dog, Sammy, from. This woman is so dedicated to taking in strays and poundees bound for the needle that her husband erected a large warehouse/barn on their farm property to house the dogs and cats and their feed. Sammy was a special case. His front right leg is disfigured, either from birth, abuse, or a car, but this woman had literally saved him from the clutches of death when the pound had sent him off to be put down. She whisked him back to her home and nursed him as best as she could, but she had to give him up since the other dogs treated him poorly. I remember the day my mom took my sister and I out to the farm to look at him after I had found her ad on the internet. When we pulled up to the house, there was a German Shepard mix jumping at the gate to the dog pen. I just knew deep down that that dog was the one I had found online, and my sister and I refused to leave that farm without him. So, for the past eight and a half years, Sammy has been the most precious addition to our family. He needed more healing when we picked him up, so we made sure he got the best care from a local vet. Somehow I think Sam just adored us immediately, since I had a fractured leg when we brought him home that I got during ice hockey practice a few weeks prior. He guarded me and my leg faithfully from day one until the cast came off, so he truly is the meaning of "man's best friend". As of this moment in time Sammy is staying at the nearby Pet Country Club since we went to Tennessee for a week to move my sister into her new apartment, and I can't wait until we can pick him up in the morning! The place opens at 9am, and we plan on being there when they flip the sign over LOL. On behalf of animal lovers everywhere, I commend you Krista for the service you provide to those in your community who can't tell you where it hurts!

All I can say is..... RULES WERE MADE TO BE BROKEN lol, I kid.

I got a B in Differential Equations, which is the hardest mathematics class that anyone in my family has taken. I just about yelled in the computer lab lol.

I can see you talking about nudies but I don't see you posting them

I know the feeling... I'd made the promise to churn out a first chapter to the prologue of a story that I wrote for three of the past four anthologies at some point this summer... I've started to do just that, but I have the problem of not knowing exactly how to start the thing. There are three ways that I can think of to start it, including a sub story... but I'm not sure if I want to reveal that one too soon. I know exactly how the chapter is going to end, but I've got three rough beginnings and I don't know what to do with them haha. Aww hell, now that I've sat here for a few minutes typing this out I have a fourth idea on starting this, but it requires one of the others first to get the main character to that depressive point... but it connects one HUGE idea of the beginning of the story to one that drives the rest of it... *rubs his chin in thought* I'm going to reiterate what Krista said in another way: This can be equated with modifying something, maintaining something, or just doing something that needs to be done (cut the grass, clean the patio, change your oil, install a home theatre, etc.). Basically, if you don't have all of the tools, materials, and parts to complete the job, then you simply don't finish it and put it off. I have wires hanging in my car from various modifications because I don't have the necessary materials to properly button everything up, and so I have been putting even that off all summer. *sigh* I'm such a lazy ass lmao.

Well all those pictured there are beautiful... but which half-naked painted dude are you? lmao I'm not even sure I want to ask how the six of you came to be in that state in the first place.

Ugh, Tom Welling, Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt, and Orlando Bloom shouldn't be anywhere near that list. Of those four, I like Pitt the best, and only because of his roles in Babel and the latest Ocean's films (11, 12, 13). And Mr. and Mrs. Smith because it was hilarious watching him duke it out with his partner (Angelina Jolie) lol. I actually laughed when I saw Seth Green on there. I never expected that since I expected other men to beat him out (Where's Kasey Kahne, damnit?).

It's 15% at my store. BTW, most places give the discount to people who are 65+, so he has 40 years to wait. At my store, it's 62.

And any other creature that is not native to its intended destination.

Honestly, I think you're asking the wrong person. I think that anything is possible.

Corrected and added. New Jersey sucks.

Well it is my understanding that the internet never reflects real life. Clearly the girls are not so chatty online as they are offline (excluding text messages and instant messaging, of course), and clearly I have a problem if I'm on that list... worse yet, I'm not last! The only comforting fact is that I'm the newest of the four digit club, but I can see that that won't last long... Oh wow, I really do post too much... I just got hit with flood control (trying to post more than once within 30 seconds) in the board stats thread. BTW I edited this post to avoid passing 1100 posts Delaying the inevitable, I s'pose.

Anyone could really be a bot? *eyes Graeme suspiciously*

Oh grow up. Hehe, I had to do it You only need to start worrying about your age when it comes time to start acting it. That time is usually when you punch 40, but even then the jury is still out.

Prologue: The Birth, the world through the eyes of a child, and destruction. - Pre-school and Kindergarten through 3rd grade - Discovery of pleasures with others (does that make me a slut? I'm still virgin...) - Sowing the seeds of the future (GM representative took one of the now-lost (crushed) EV's (Electric Vehicle) to show us at my first elementary school. It was exciting, even then! - The move -- From beautiful south Florida to frickin' Jersey Book One: The Formative Years - The rest of elementary school, the making of new friends - Middle school -- sub plot includes Ice Hockey and a fractured ankle, and the first girlfriend - High School -- sub plot includes the second girlfriend, now best friend, entering the work force, an accident, and exiting childhood once and for all Book Two: Make or Break (In Progress) Plots here include: - College, majoring in Physics and Mechanical Engineering - Keeping some semblance of sanity while working in retail - Coming to terms with sexuality, while not knowing where to begin or what to do about it and avoiding it altogether in name of finishing school. The future is broad and has yet to be determined, so I'm sure I've hardly scratched the surface in terms of meeting important people and making important decisions. The next book will start when I graduate and embark on my career, severing the final ties with my current life and deciding what to do with the last of the aforementioned subplots of the book in progress.
