Gah So Happy
I got work to do though. I think maybe I’ll just go and celebrate with an hour of video games before I get crackin on that Physics stuff.

Consider what a smartphone can do, and the devices it replaces, and its value increases. A refurbished iPhone 3GS is currently on sale by AT&T for $19. With the least-expensive data and voice plans and a two-year contract, a customer would pay around $1,800 over 24 months, including taxes and fees.
But to do all the things a smartphone can do without...

passionatelyapathetic answered: Should No Child Left Behind get repealed/severely revised, what would most likely (not hopefully) replace it in today’s political mindset?
Yes, absolutely. Any policy based around tests that demonstrate a disregard for actual intelligence are setting us all up for failure.
In terms of a replacement with today’s...

Fat Phobia
Very interesting stuff.
Someday, I’ll get sick of that joke. Probably not any time soon, though.
Check this out, from the International Herald Tribune:
Hirsch answered his original question – the subjects’ fat cells had shrunk and were now normal in size. And everyone, including Hirsch, assumed that the subjects would leave the hospital permanently thinner.
That did not happen. Instead,...

@Ximena
You totally suck for not answering your door.
I don’t care if you weren’t home or if you needed your silly “sleep”. What is this “sleep” you speak of? I thought you were supposed to use magic or something to stay awake forever.
You are now officially a terrible person, and I hope you die a gruesome death. You suck.

This is what 90% of abortions actually look like. Very, very different from the pictures of cut up babies anti-choice people like to flaunt, let me tell you [which are actually premature babies or late-term abortions performed for health reasons - about 1% of all abortions]
The picture is not graphic.

How does disfiguring your arm with knives make you feel better? I’ve never grasped the concept of “oh shit, my life sucks. Let’s make it better by cutting my arm open!” I’m sorry, anyone who’s self harmed before, but really, what thought process makes that seem logical? That’s like saying, “oh damn my car is really old. Let’s smash in the windows and see if it makes it...

Okay, So I Was Wrong
I am not really okay. I don’t feel like going to school tomorrow actually. Heck, lately, I just haven’t really felt like going to school lately. And I’m not sure exactly why.
Am I learning more emotions lately so I’ve been able to feel laziness or stress more?
Is it because it’s happened too many times and I’ve gotten too used to it?
Do I feel like I learn...
