That would be true, if every reputable school wasn't a school of choice. So you're wrong on that.

Regarding the Glenn Beck thing: "If you've waited [until now], this hurricane is a blessing," he said. "It is God reminding you, as was the earthquake last week...you're not in control." WOW...what a worthless piece of shit. And he's doing all the "God" bullshit now? Cult leader, he completely needs to be stopped, that guy is getting so out of control. Sadly I have to sit there and listen to people I care about spew his nonsense, and if you try to retort with ANY sound logic they say: "Well you don't know because THEY don't want you to know!" Cult....

He's not Christian, from what I've gathered being on the board.

WOW...I have NO idea how the hell he's degraded into this. I remember when his show was first on, he was a little out there on some topics, but I actually agreed with him on a lot. After while he just kept degenerating into this crazy "FOLLOW ME OR ALL WILL DIE!" corruption conspiracy cult-leader kind of crap. His ego is overwhelming; I'm surprised that he doesn't just go on air and sit there sucking his own wanker for an hour. I could see saying something rational such as, "This is such a tragedy, I really wish people would have heeded my warnings about disaster preparation, so that damage and deaths will be minimized." But instead he does this "Holier-than-thou-little-kid-I-told-you-so bullshit and once again, goes off about how great he is and the fact that people should just blindly follow him. I hate when celebrities do this and get a huge chip on their shoulder like they're God's own cousin. Kanye West was the same way. When his career first started, he had enough talent and message to be able to be big like Diddy or 2Pac (well...maybe not Pac, that's virtually impossible). But he had to start acting like he was the most intelligent person in the world that everyone wanted to hear, and made himself look like a jackass on several occasions. He could have been known for his music, but now he's known for fish sticks and "I'ma let you finish, but..."

He said Gods, and Christianity is strictly monotheistic. But all of those other questions are totally legit, I'm wondering the answers myself .

Ghettoness is fun when you're in a car driving through it, or doing some urban exploring. But when you live in it, and the ghettoness is not intentionally decorative, it wears on you day after day. The inside of the house is the only real thing that bothers me, the outside looks a little warn, and the backyard could use more sprucing (landscaping never ends anyway, so that's an ongoing project), but it's coming along better than the interior . I was also able to get a massive flower garden going out front this year, and a decent crop garden in the back. We don't have a single patch of grass in the backyard, but that's cool, because then I don't have to cut it. It's exciting though, waking up and thinking, "...I wonder wtf will go wrong with my house today?" Current issue at hand is that the bathroom floor is caving in, and we have a basement, so that is going to be really interesting to watch progress until I can get the time and cash to fix it .

I like this, but what does lower rent have to do with shittier education?

This particular house? I had $13,000 in my pocket, I wasn't expecting the Taj Mahal. My budget wasn't a choice, the neighborhood was. Even if I get more cash down the road, no I don't plan to move (but hopefully my house will no longer look like Kowloon Walled City, and engineered the same way, on the inside). If I had the budget to blow, and had no restraints on location (I have to stay in Macomb County because my school grant is drastically reduced if I don't), I would probably pick a very old mansion or at least a sizable "Detroit-built" house, somewhere in Detroit itself, and fix it up.

A facial vortex of smokey entangling blackness, +whatever-happens (-pink, you'll never see me do...that ). I use whatever brand I have both the cash and taste for at the moment, and don't use it how it's probably supposed to be used. Oh, and I use non-makeup substances sometimes because I can, I guess, and usually because it helps reach whatever effect I'm going for. I don't use foundation unless I have a shiner or my face is blotchy-red from throwing up. I'm glad I don't need it otherwise, that would suck having to wear that cake-face stuff. I used to put it on in junior/high school, because I was classically trained to think that every girl needed to wear it no matter what at all times. Then I realized that teenage girls can be stupid and the clever marketing departments at Covergirl and Maybelline are well aware of this. I also realize how ridiculous it is to be THAT obsessed with every minor imperfection, and began seeing makeup as more of an (not entirely) artistic endeavor rather than a corrective procedure. There's a degree of covering up and enhancement, but some take it waaaay too far, and I'm one of those recovering . One of the most essential things I have to wear is mascara, because my eyelashes are almost blonde, and on a backdrop of dreary dark smudging mixed with deeply bold colors, they never fail to ruin my life look. Sadly, I hardly have any favorites left anymore because I guess I've been neglecting to restock my cosmetics collection for the past few years. Stuff can be expensive, so being perpetually broke for the longest time obviously didn't help.

What the fuck is volume one about, and where the hell are my royalties?

If I may take an assumptive stab at this. You miss the aspect of being over there so badly, that even though you've got neutral feelings for this guy who clearly has more than just neutral feelings for you, he's pretty much offering you a chance to go over there hoping that you're going to get with him. Even though you know it's a possibility there might be chemistry between you, on the inside you know you kinda really just want to go back to a place that feels right, and this opportunity is an easy ticket to do so. I don't know, I'm not sure if it's usury at all. It would be a bad thing if you had in your mind, "I can't stand this guy, but hell, I really want to go..." and then went. The fact that you might be somewhat interested in him, and would not only love to find out of this is true, but also to have this pleasant added bonus, isn't really so terrible. As I said, if you go, be safe. Require that he send you a return ticket, explain the reason why. If he's not a creeper and a logical person, he'll fully understand and probably respect you for being smart about that and having such foresight. If he's offering it, you think he might be a suitable possibility for you, and you want to go, then maybe try it out? Obviously I wouldn't just jump right to it next month or anything either, maybe call him, contact him via internet, converse a lot and get to know each other better and you'll probably have a better time and more confidence about going there when the time comes. Since you probably have planning to do, and also most likely need to have your passport renewed (which I've been told takes some time), that gives you a decent amount of time to socialize first.

I didn't do it personally, but I can explain what most likely occurred. A moderator probably saw your posts in the Pirates Vs Ninjas thread and realized those posts would be better suited for here, as they were indeed the "precursor" to this thread topic. When they were moved, since they are timestamped as being older than this topic's initial post, it put them in front of everything else in this topic.

65 Million people in the path of destruction this weekend. The east coast's infrastructure is not accustomed to this much water. When Katrina hit, sure it started out as a category 5, but by the time she got to New Orleans she was only a 2-3, and did not have nearly as much water as Irene. Basically, this is going to be like every NYC catastrophe movie ever made. They're already talking about shutting down the bridges to and from the island once the winds are 60mph, which would be frightening to know you're trapped there. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44285405/ns/weather/

If you do go over there, demand that you have your ticket there AND a return ticket voucher IN your hot little hands before you embark. If he asks why, simply explain the situation with him. If he were your bff from way back, I could consider this being less odd and shadyish. How long have you known this guy? When you stated that he was a friend, but then later say, "So far its going rather well with us," that tells me that you don't know him that well. If that is the case, this just seems off, especially because if he thought he needed to win the lottery to get with you, he's either a creep/weirdo, wants you as a pet, or incredibly insecure about himself. There may be other variables in his personality, but those three "types" came to mind first.

Allll these things started crossing my mind when I thought of it, so you guys hit the nail on the head.

That's kinda, I dunno. Something about it doesn't sit right with my instincts, and when I process some logic into it and mull it around for a second, I'll most likely be able to explain to you why.

Oh, and for the record, I forgot to explain how to put video clips in from YouTube onto DGN. Once you're on the YouTube screen with the video clip playing, you copy the link in the address bar. In the reply box here, you paste that between the following (but without spaces, I had to put spaces so that the board doesn't actually code it in): [ media ] (Paste link here) [ /media ] And if you do it right, it turns out like this: SORRY..., last one for the night I swear! It does have a VERY important message behind it though, you'll all be thanking me later for sharing the key to avoiding eternal damnation .

Kk, I'll stop spamming the whole thread, didn't even realize I posted four off the bat . They're like chips, you have one and you just have to keep going.

For those not privy, there's a decent comedy skit-type show that's somewhat reminiscent of Kids in the Hall, called (as the title insinuates) The Whitest Kids U Know. Fortunately, for those who don't have IFC or just don't watch TV, almost all of their clips are on Youtube, and what's better, is that when you're done watching one, it links you to other random sketches from the show. ***Some of these are a bit NSFW, due to raunchy adult-oriented humor, not nudity really*** I'll start, and since this is a goth board, who better to make fun of than Reznor of course: And here's an awesome one as a freebie: Your turn, either click from those two videos to find other skits, or go to Youtube and search for either "WKUK" or "Whitest Kids U Know". Even though I put two for the intro thread, please put just one per post, because DGN has a limit on how many times the media tags can be used per page.

Still a taco fest, as evident from the recent photos . I DO check back every year, if it weren't a giant clam salad soufflet, I would completely participate. I don't do erotic modeling. I would want to dip into photography, but there's no models to my, ahem, strict tastes (which is funny, because they take up about 50% of Earth's population so I'm told, they're just a little shy...?) Before I get the "piggish" flame, let me explain: art is something beautiful and meaningful to you, and I wouldn't be able to capture that with women, because to my preference, they aren't . Not trying to be mean, just honest.
