So I take that back about Jake going to meps next week, the Army dude that we talked to ages ago did something with some paperwork, I think to start processing Jake even though he hadn't signed anything so the Navy recruiter has to file some additional paperwork to get that sorted out. Most likely he will now be going on the following Monday. Yay Army dude.

You keep switching back and forth between Navy and army (though I know you mean navy). By the way has he taken his ASVAB test yet? Or experienced the thrill of the underwear olympics?

He is going Navy but he was talking to an Army recruiter a while ago (but decided he was not interested in what they had to offer) and it was that recruiter who started paperwork which has now made it so his current recruiter (with the Navy) has to straighten some shit out as essentially their system is recognizing him as being currently processed by the Army and therefor the Navy can't get him in him for meps. He has already taken the ASVAB (did it when his buddy went in) and his line scores (whatever those actually are) qualify him for Nuke (which is why he doesn't need an additional backup plan). I have no idea about this "underwear olympics" is, but I'm sure Jake will be thrilled.

Do you know what he scored on it? I took it once and got a 90 with qualifying scores in all fields. The "underwear Olympics" as it were was simply the nickname the examiners gave the portion of the physicals when they had all of the guys get in one room and strip down to their underwear and perform several different tasks to identify physical abnormalities. It's how I had my flat feed diagnosed.

[Solumina]

Ah well that sounds like great fun, I'm sure he is looking forward to it.

I believe he got a 94.

Ren - so if you have flat feet you can't join the armed services?

It used to be that way but not anymore.

The graceful apes have found their way.

Good thing about Jake having to wait before going to meps: it means he gets to go to the beach cottage with me for my mom's birthday!

Hey! You've been watching me, no fair!


I'm looking forward to the fall semester. I may get to take my A&P class, can't wait for all of the anatomy! I'd like to take my kids out and do something family oriented before they go back to school in August since the fall semester is probably going to be a ton of work compared to this spring & summer. So excited!

[Saya]

I'm excited for the fall too, but it is going to be really busy. I'm taking Mandarin, Feminist Texts, Theories and Histories, Introduction to Social Work, Introduction to Islam, and Religion and Disney.

[Alan]

So I've been unemployed for the last two months.
Yesterday I applied to a job in my university and then I realized the email I had to apply to was to my previous supervisor.
So basically it's the same department I worked on for a year and a half, only this time it would be a full time job instead of part time.

That has to be a good thing for me, right? I mean I already know everyone in the department, I know how they work, and I have completed their training. That should put me ahead of other applicants, right?

[Grausamkeit]

If you know the ins and outs of the job in its entirety then it should give you an advantage. It will also look very good if you were a model employee when you were there previously.

I know that dolphins are cute and everything but people really should remember that they are the rapists of the seas and not try to swim with a wild pod.

I knew they were the only other species that gain pleasure from sex, but they're really willing to fuck any species to gain such pleasure?

That is absolutely not true!

Scratch that about social work, class is full. But I got into Mandarin, yay! And every other class I wanted, now its just that no elective I want fits with my schedule.

I'm fairly sure they're not the only other species. Bonobo apes are another species, that have been observed to engage in sex for reasons other than procreation. I'm sure there are more but I can't recall what they are right now.

According to The Oatmeal, a HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC source, pig orgasms last for half an hour o.O

But there's tons of animals that get pleasure from sex. There was a good show on the Discovery channel once called Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice For All Creation, which is also a book, that went over all kinds of animal sexualities, like masturbating lizards and lesbian monkeys, and debunking the whole "males are polyamorous, females are picky with mates and need to choose wisely" shit.

I've heard that before, but... I really do NOT want to know how this was discovered, or why anyone wanted to discover it

Dolphins have been known to hump just about anything, from fish to turtles to rocks to people.

Makes me wonder how many people who are into bestiality study dolphins.

[Saya]

I'm sad, mom took the dogs back while I was out didn't think she'd come by until Thursday.

I'm also wondering how much I should rub it in Versus's face that I'm going to go see Captain America this week.

sorry to hear about the dogs

Rave about how good it is, even if it isn't.

Looks like a great movie though.

[Geoluhread]

Next year I'm moving but I still don't know where :O
Wherever I get accepted. I might be able to see anyone of you on the forums in person :O
