(hint: there aren´t any!) posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 09.21.04 (6:35 am) Reply to: aro Thanks, Aaron! (btw, he has superpowers of his own, and you may learn more of that soon!) posted by: "lazer"? Learn to spell! (reply) post date: 09.21.04 (11:35 am) Reply to: aro posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 09.21.04 (2:15 pm) Reply to: \"lazer\"? hey, leave my boyrfiend alone, or I'll start you on fire! He was applying our American tendency to turn English s's into z's. How soon will it be before 'laser' is spelled with a 'z'? Hmm? posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 09.21.04 (2:29 pm) Reply to: newbie You know as well as I do that systems of graphics change at an astronomically slow rate. Our current graphic system hasn't changed in 500 years. So I really doubt that the "z" sound in "laser" will alter its spelling any time soon, just like I really doubt that the common pronunciation of "t" as "d" in words like "fitted" will cause those words to be spelled differently any time soon. So, to review, one should just learn to spell so that they don't look stupid. posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 09.21.04 (2:30 pm) Oh, and by the way, no, I don't "here" that. posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 09.21.04 (5:56 pm) That's a nasty spider! I'm glad I don't ever have to stay in that room. posted by: Aro (reply) post date: 09.22.04 (4:45 am) That room´s not a bad place to be if you have a girlfriend who can shoot lazers from her eyes. Spiders don´t stand a chance! posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 09.22.04 (5:38 am) true dat posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 09.22.04 (8:19 am) Reply to: Aro Unfortunately, my girlfriend can't shoot lasers from her eyes. So I guess I'll still be avoiding rooms with dog-sized spiders. posted by: Aro (reply) post date: 09.22.04 (8:52 am) Reply to: Chuck I´m sure your girlfriend has got rad powers of her own. That´s one of the most awesome thing about girlfriends -- they can protect us from gigantic insects, vampires, etc. Hopefully we´re also able to do the same! posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 09.22.04 (9:00 am) Reply to: Aro hmm...yes, my girlfriend does have some "rad" powers i suppose ;) but I've yet to see them have anything to do with giant insects or vampires...of course, who knows about that weird howling noise outside my window at night? But anyway...isn't it our job, as the big strong men, to protect our girls? Then again, a spider 1/4 that size would have me scared out of my mind...then again, I am still a recovering aracnophobe.... posted by: Aro (reply) post date: 09.22.04 (11:01 am) Reply to: Chuck Sometimes it is our job as the big strong men to protect our girls, but sometimes it´s our job to step out of the way and say, "ok, you´re the one with who can shoot lasers (aka lazers) from your eyes." posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 09.22.04 (1:54 pm) Reply to: Aro All right, I lied...a spider 1/10--ok, make it 1/20--that size would scare me out of my mind, especially if it were coming at me from behind with red eyes and drooling green oozy slime...eew! posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 09.23.04 (1:48 pm) Lucky 15! ______________________________ Yet another day seems like it's wasted You don't feel you're any closer to the prize A dead end job where there's no future Praying that tomorrow things won't be this way Things'll get better... This I promise you, I know It won't feel this way forever... Things'll get better, This I promise you, I know Loneliness won't last forever Yet another day, another tired morning You’re catching up to your intentions You’re thinking life has to be easier than this Maybe tomorrow things won’t be this way I promise with all that’s in me to leave this emptiness behind posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 09.24.04 (11:37 am) I spent 12 hours designing my 4-page newsletter last night, and I am psyched. Plus fall retreat is today. Awesomeness! posted by: SparklingSnow (reply) post date: 09.24.04 (4:42 pm) Reply to: Chuck I'm glad you'/re having a good day posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 09.25.04 (3:22 pm) Regarding your last two posts: I also think killing (a bull or anything) simply for the pleasure of huge crowds who want to see blood is barbaric and inhumane. It reminds me of when they would kill Christians for fun in early Rome. As for sleeping late, I slep till 7 o'clock--p.m.! Of course, I didn't go to bed until 5 a.m., but sleeping for 14 hours was something. I slept so much because I had only gotten 3 hours of sleep in the previous 44 hours, and 32 hours over the previous 6 days. Needless to say, I was tired. So you didn't go on fall retreat this year? That stinks. posted by: SparklingSnow (reply) post date: 09.27.04 (9:23 am) Reply to: Chuck I hope you've gotten more regular sleep lately- it can really mess up a lot of other areas when you don't get enough or consistent sleep. I'm sorry I missed Fall Retreat, but I plan on going to other brother/sister events, so I'm striving for that connection. All is not lost (yet). posted by: Dumb (reply) post date: 09.28.04 (11:39 am) Glad you got your paper done! Excited for the next one? ;) posted by: SparklingSnow (reply) post date: 09.29.04 (9:52 am) I'm glad it's done, too- and I'm sort of excited for this one, but also nervous- 25% for a teacher whose expectations I don't know, in a class with some excellent writers . . . I mean, with thinking about how to be comfortable w/ who I am, or not worry about stuff- not comparing myself in other aspects of my life, and then taking classes like this- how can she grade me against myself if she doesn't know what I'm like? and how can I not carry over this need to please someone or worry about how skilled others are? :( posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 09.29.04 (3:49 pm) Reply to: SparklingSnow I dunno, seems like you just have to do your best and not worry about the rest of the class. Separate from performing some kind of terrorist attack, you can't keep other people from doing a good job, you can only do a good job yourself. I sure am glad to get that done, though. I know what you mean about not knowing expectations. My "essay" didn't have much of my opinion in it. In fact, I had 17 citations in 4 pages! That is a new record for citations per page for me. But she said students would be rewarded for having organized thought and good research. Also, I don't know how picky she is about formatting, and I keep freaking out because whenever I save my file on my computer in WordPerfect and go to the computer lab to print it out, the format gets completely screwed up, and I can't figure out how to get the page numbers to line up with the one-inch margins! Oh well. I hope when she sees my quality writing, she will overlook any minor technicalities. Tell me how your paper is going (or ends up, depending on when you read this). Do you have any other major projects coming up? Btw, that's the first time I've written two papers in less than a two-day period--27 hours, actually. Also, the first time I've gotten a paper done prior to the night before it is due! So, that's three first for me already today. Lol! posted by: SparklingSnow (reply) post date: 09.29.04 (11:22 pm) Reply to: Chuck Good job, Chuck! I'm glad things are going so well for you. Thanks for the advice about not worrying. And for page numbers, you can go to 'header' and press the # symbol, and it will automatically put it in the right place. My paper's printed, and I'm pretty happy with it- at least it sounds more like me and cohesive than the Etymology paper. posted by: Dummie (reply) post date: 09.29.04 (11:43 pm) Reply to: SparklingSnow Glad you got it done. Sorry about the miscommunication over the book. I wish the whole page number thing were that easy. I thought I knew all the tricks for formatting, but it was still being weird regarding the margins. posted by: Dumbbell (reply) post date: 09.30.04 (4:13 pm) Why the black text in the one post??? posted by: SparklingSnow (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (9:03 am) Reply to: Dumbbell I copied it in from Word, so it didn't automatically change it for me posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 10.02.04 (6:08 pm) Reply to: SparklingSnow It wasn't like that the first time I saw it, though, I'm almost positive. Anyway, how did you feel about your Brit Lit paper? I never got a chance to talk to you about it. posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 10.11.04 (8:54 am) THIS POST SHALL NEVER DIE!!!!! MWAHAHAHA!!!!! (Pardon the caps lock.) posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 10.13.04 (7:03 pm) I shall singlehandedly by force of will make this post reach triple digits. posted by: Chuck (reply) post date: 10.13.04 (7:04 pm) Okay, maybe I'll have to settle for reaching 30. . . . :| posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.14.04 (3:51 pm) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.14.04 (3:51 pm) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.14.04 (3:51 pm) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.14.04 (3:51 pm) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.14.04 (3:51 pm) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.14.04 (3:52 pm) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.15.04 (1:20 am) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.15.04 (1:20 am) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.15.04 (1:20 am) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.15.04 (1:20 am) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.15.04 (1:20 am) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.15.04 (1:21 am) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.15.04 (1:21 am) bump posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.15.04 (1:21 am) bump posted by: SparklingSnow (reply) post date: 10.16.04 (10:40 pm) Reply to: newbie Are you really working towards 3 digits? 'cause who's going to scroll down to read it? posted by: Amber (reply) post date: 10.25.04 (11:25 pm) wow, there are a lot of post here though, good luck to you who want triple digits! |
