Can you really be that sad about a man whose name you can't even spell?

Solumina · 06-25-2009, 10:50 PM

There seem to have been quite a few celebrity deaths lately

Why did we never domesticate the racoon?! Can you imagine those little bastards after eight thousand years of symbiotic relationships with us?
I bet the would watch TV with us in the sofa and they would even know how to change channels.

Needlefeet · 06-26-2009, 05:01 PM

Umm... Yay for no racoons in Australia?

Ugh.
Why must people always associate Eugenics with Hitler, it makes it hard to talk about with people always assuming you agree with the Nazi party because you believe in a scientific theory that they also had a beliefe in.
Freakin' frack.

I have too many family members. I was starting to make a guest list for the wedding (I do like to start planning right away) and well yeah I have 68 family members that are being invited and those are just the ones that I keep in touch with and see on a regular basis, thankfully that does include many married couples so at least there will only be a few guests added to that but still this is not going to end up being a small wedding.

Well, explain your views on eugenics and why they are so drastically different to those of the Nazis.

I just told my mom and dad my GPA, it's a tenth of a point lower than they thought. My dad told me to drop out of college and be an EMT, because there goes grad school at Yale.
What the fuck? Yale? I hate Yale.

LetheanBlacklight · 07-05-2009, 01:43 PM

Well, away goes my hair as I join the Navy as a photographer ._. *sigh*

Life, huh...

You're joining the navy as a PHOTOGRAPHER? Shit, that's manly.

LetheanBlacklight · 07-05-2009, 05:45 PM

Do you think I really care at this point?

Underwater Ophelia · 07-05-2009, 06:00 PM

I think he was only kidding.

Underwater Ophelia · 07-05-2009, 06:01 PM

In rants for myself, I overcooked my burger and undercooked my sweet potato fries.

Are you going in as an officer or enlisted?

LetheanBlacklight · 07-06-2009, 01:25 AM

...enlisted

Solumina · 07-06-2009, 01:34 AM

Ooo I hope you don't get too many dickish officers, I've heard there are quite a few out there, at least you still get awesome benefits. How long are you going in for (I seem to recall 2 years being standard but I think there are options for longer enlistments or something)?

LetheanBlacklight · 07-06-2009, 12:15 PM

Im planning on going in and making a career out of it like my dad did. He was an E-7 and was in for 23 years.

Alarica · 07-06-2009, 12:39 PM

I hate women who find it impossible to be happy for a friend, out of pure jealousy. Always turning said friends happy moment (which in this case is a rare occurence) into something unimportant, and yet boasting about their spoilt life and actually claiming their 'news' is more exciting.

Solumina · 07-06-2009, 12:45 PM

Nice, Jake's dad was career as well, he retired as a senior chief (not really sure what number that is), best of luck with that.

LetheanBlacklight · 07-06-2009, 12:53 PM

I believe it may be E-8, as the one person above my dad was a senior chief.

Yeah, it's not too bad as http://www.navy.com/i/pic/charts/paychart.jpg <- this is the pay rate, and they pay for all necessities like housing, appliances, dental, health ect.

I'll have a future laid out for myself.

Solumina · 07-06-2009, 01:08 PM

Yeah, Jake is rather sad that his health insurance will run out this year, he has gotten so used to just being able to pop over to the naval hospital for any little thing.

Those aren't good friends.

I have been eating like crazy for about the past two weeks, I have no idea why. I have been eating about an extra 500 calories a day and I've been going through about a gallon of water/lemonade/juice. Absolutely nothing else seems to be different, this is driving me nuts.

Malice In Wonderland · 07-08-2009, 05:41 AM

I've eaten practically nothing recently.
It's odd because all I normally do is eat...
