I saw all those 1s and at first I thought a bunch of people ranked with 1 post each again.

Seattle is actually pretty dry in the summers, to the point that the grass wilts and dies. Winter is rainy season here.

My last vacation was to Victoria BC back in spring 2011.

Smartest.

Nobody gives a shit about high school cliques after high school, but intelligence can get you jobs/college down the road

Yeah

I first went to Canada back in 1993, when we took a shortcut across Ontario to get from Buffalo to Detroit. I was surprised the signs were in English, since then-6-year-old me thought Canada was 100% French-speaking

I've done it a few times. Only when I was really stuck though, and even then only rarely. Academic dishonesty carried huge penalties.

For those dopey online assignments, sometimes I'd look up the question in a search engine. One allowed infinite tries and was multiple-choice, so I'd guess all A's, then see which ones were wrong, change those to B's, see which of those were wring, change them to C's, and so on for all the choices

I'm one of those "Brilliant But Lazy" people. I'll do anything to get out of doing homework

$20 on a scratchoff ticket I received as a gift.

My luck isn't very good

Nope. Haven't eaten it since before I can remember

I vaguely remember reading something about Gerber trying to market "baby food" to adults in the '80s or so. It was a flop.

What if you have no interest in driving, though? I can walk and take the bus everywhere, I don't need to spend money on a car and gas.

Dissection.

Why do they make literally every public school student cut up the insides of some poor animal to see their gross guts? I can understand it for, say, college pre-med students, but all 7th graders? Really?

I hate phones. I always forget to charge them if I bring it with me, so I leave it at home, and my job doesn't let us take calls anyway. (We certainly don't have our own lines at work like every form tends to assume.) I don't like having to literally drop everything I was doing to immediately answer some caller. I sound like a boy on the phone, to the point of getting called "Mr. Burke" by every political fundraising caller in the Pacific Time Zone

I don't like texting either, since I have a dumbphone of the "hit 2 once for A, twice for B, and thrice for C" type. I don't want to spend the money for a smartphone and a monthly plan when I can just E-mail/IM/post at people instead for just the $45/month flat Internet cost.

Writing too.

I used to like it in high school, then intense college writing classes (too much for a computer science major, IMO) made me dread it. I miss writing fiction but I can never seem to get back into it at all.

Just don't post too many at once, it's better to spread the activity out a bit so you still have threads to post later

Then again, it's too late now.

OMG, Taryn posting in a movie thread? Well, I used to watch them more like 10 years ago, and the SW series was my favourite.

My fave overall was always A New Hope.

Also, the originals are a googolplex times better than the prequels. I remember once some people at work were talking about how to introduce the SW movies to a newcomer to the series, originals first or prequels first. Seriously, should you be asking that? If you want your friend to be a Star Wars fan, and the first movie they see is Jar-Jar Binks and midichlorians, you're unlikely to be as successful

I'd close it if I could close threads.

Wait, I can close threads in Forum Games, someone move it there

"Kittens riots the lively lager past the trial author. Why does a constitutional scratch beside lesbians? Kittens bridges the translator behind its twin. A taking mole mints lesbians. Kittens provisions lesbians before an agreeing parody. When can a deserved hum bark the chancellor?"

I'm reminded of those Translation Party type things where you convert things into and out of English

Hey, at least it's not 1 post per page, which was inexplicably common in the early days of the Internet.

I am almost worried about living alone at times and then other times I want to live alone. I suppose that time will come soon enough once I get out of college.

Oh hey look, life is easing up and now I feel like posting more like my old self. Yay!

I've lived alone for 7 years and I'm used to it.

I want a girlfriend though.

49°F.

It's getting colder and darker. The tree outside my window has most of its leaves still, but some are turning yellow.

I've never fished.

Back in Michigan we used to laugh at the idiocy of the ice fishermen. They'd walk out onto the frozen lake in the dead of winter.

I've been pursuing other interests lately. My problem is I have so many interests that I can never focus on just one for very long

As for posting in general, I think a lot of the "social" boards are losing steam to the huge social megasites like Facebook. Most surviving boards now are highly topical, catering to people with a specific interest.
