My Philosophy class is getting to me...
I'd love to be able to switch lives with anyone for a short period of time. I'm always curious about whether everyone's inner lives are as odd as mine. I'd love the change of perspective. If I got to choose with whom I switched, I'd probably choose to either try being the opposite sex or a total party girl type (my polar opposite). I don't know if I'd ever choose to switch permanently.
2. If you could live in a parallel universe with three people completely erased from it (as in, they'd never been born), who would you get rid of?
I'd probably do away with two high school teachers who emotionally screwed me up pretty badly (long story, they probably should've been fired but weren't). I'd also get rid of Neal Horsely, the creator of The Nuremburg Files.
3. What are your thoughts on perception, life, consciousness, existence, objective vs. subjective reality, and the like? Give me your philosophical ramblings on the meaning of life. Do you believe in a divine being(s)? Afterlife? Why or why not?
4. What song is most moving to you? Any that can make you want to cry?

How do you keep your eyes from looking as if you have humongous crow's feet?
(I'm only 24, and it makes me look like I'm 40. I use Sheer Cover, and I'm currently using a Mac blush brush to apply it.)
Vicodin, random parties
Do you know anything about the half-life of Vicodin, or how long it stays in your system before it's okay to consume alcohol?
P.S. The party is for Pocahontas Day, some completely random, obscure, yet absurdly fun holiday my friends made up. We watch Disney's Pocahontas and then proceed to the festivities. Have you and your friends made up any holidays and followed through with them annually?

Two Choices
You have two options;
1- Root Canal, build up, and crown. (Root canal and build up for the crown done in one visit lasting about an hour. You'd have a solid crown, the tooth would be "saved" about a day worth of discomfort after the fact) Total amount you'd have to pay for all is just shy of $400.00.
2- Surgical extraction. (The tooth isn't loose, all four roots are soild. The extraction would require cutting the gum, probably breaking the tooth, digging in the jaw to remove all of the root. It would take about 2 hours, cause more discomfort during and after, have a longer recovery time, and cause a higher chance of future complications to surrounding teeth.) Total cost you'd have to pay, $43.00.
You've never had either of these procedures before and have a "healthy" fear of dentists. Which would you choose?

Food for thought
H'okay here goes the questions..

4. Do you like to listen to music as you eat? If so what kind?
5. What kind of food will you not eat under ANY circumstances? (not allergy related)
6. Is anyone here part of a good recipe sharing community here? There are so many I just can't pick one!

national douche-bag day
after having several warnings and tickets for being douche-bag driver, you will recieve a letter in the mail stating that on a given date (24 hours), you will relinquish all rights to driving a motorized vehicle of any sort...you will be allowed to leave your home (go to the store, a mall, run errands w/said person, etc...) either on foot, on a bike, or as a passenger in/on a moterized vehicle...however, giving that the letter is fair warning, and you do decide to attempt to venture forth in a motorized vehicle (either yours or someone else's), it will be legal for anyone w/a gun (rifle, bazooka, cannon, etc...) to permanently take you out of the human race altogether. remember, you had been told in advance.

If you have graduated from college or left school for any reason, what do you miss the most about being there?
I miss the dorm life. I actually miss some of the food but mostly I miss having people around to talk to all the time. I miss parties and going out to the bars and getting retarded then talking about it the next day and waiting to see who posts their pictures on facebook first.
RANDOM 6.
has anyone ever used www.shutterfly.com? if you have, good/bad experience?
is there a site where i can upload my pictures and somehow get them developed on polariod type paper? to where it won't just be printed out like a regular picture but on a polaroid background, idk if that makes sense :|
whenever you're using the restroom (say you're #2'ing, lol) do you read the air freshener can? what about when you're taking a shower.. do you read the shampoo/conditioner bottle?

Where can I write to U2? (Yes, the band.) Please, please don't go into the "OMG U2 is crap!" stuff. This isn't a mushy fan-girl request. You know how if you write to the White House/President, they'll send a fancy official letter to commemorate your anniversary or birth or whatever? I'm hoping that maybe just maybe U2 (rather, their PR peeps) can do something like that for my family (death of their #1 fan).

ya'll know about the love project/scrapbook i mentioned a few days ago right? well i've been getting tons of feedback in re: to pictures.. but not a lot of messages. care to help me out with some quotes about love/relationships (both the good and the bad) or maybe some advice that i can put along with the pictures in the scrapbook? you can include your name and location if you want but it's not necessary. make 'em silly or as serious as you'd like it to be. they can either be something other people have said about love or your own take on it.

I remember him licking his lips before but it was ridiculous today. I should've kept a count. I counted at least 11 times before a commercial break.

Neither of us takes Valentine's seriously (but yay for us tolerating each other long enough to make it to our second V-day).
Any creative/fun/silly ideas for some sort of gift/activity I could give him that involves any of the above?
So far all I've been able to come up with is photoshopping the Beatles into an astronaut image, but I doubt Kinko's would let me make a poster out of that. It would pimp out his dorm, though. If only I could make a guitar-shaped mold for some chocolate...
Seriously though, you can actually come up with what you think is a good idea, or just type out whatever random thing comes to mind, or just snark on Valentine's in general. I love being amused. :D

"I blew one of the members of Stryper!"
ETA: I changed "slept with" to "blew" because the members of Stryper are Christian and may not believe in pre-marital intercourse. I don't know for sure, I've never tried to sleep with them or blow them.
Exercise questions
Lately, I have been trying to get my weight down and tone myself up a bit. I run/ walk several miles daily, I do sit ups and push ups (not a lot of either yet)in the morning and some in the evening and I do dancing as well.
Here are the questions
1) Are there any other exercises that I should be doing so I can tone down my thighs and belly (two of my bad areas) ?
2) My eating habits are mostly snacking on fruits on nuts during the day (sometimes fudging with candy, I admit) and having one big meal, should I not be doing this? Should I be eating three squares with no snacks?
Thank you muchly!

Semagic question....
I had to reformat my PC a few weeks ago and when I installed the 1.5 version of Semagic it kept displaying links of images when I'd paste them in. Before the reformat, I could post pictures as simple as cut and paste, I could even re-size images. I just updated and installed the latest version - 1.7 and it's still pretty much the same. Does anyone know how to fix this teeny problem? Thanks in advance.

2. Do you like to put anything weird in your mac and cheese?
Scary Shit
Or those 'Listen to this song being played backwards' websites, and when you turn up your volume really loudly, this woman with long hair pops up on your screen and start screaming?
Or variations of those. Did you get scared/shocked by them?
My ans: I scare very easily, so I hate those. It's a habit with me that if I'm viewing a video or a dubious website for the first time, I turn the volume down.

EDIT: Okay, this is even more WTF, since if I go to my profile page directly, it says I'm logged in, even though it's proving impossible for me to in any browser. I know I didn't get hacked, I just changed my password on it again last night, and it's just weird because if I clear everything (cookies and whatnot), it'll take me to the index, and it'll look like I'm logged in, but it gets stuck on the 'Skip this Advertisement' page, then takes me to an error page that evidently redirects incorrectly for every browser.
I'm just annoyed because the comment's from a friend who broke their phone recently, so this is the best way to set up shit and all... yeah. :P

Charlotte and Bob go to the bar with Charlie and all of those other guys. Charlie does something to piss off the bartender and he pulls a gun-type thing from behind the bar and starts firing.

What's he firing at them? Is it some sort of low-level stun-type thing?

I want to own my own advertising company one day, but a lot of the time people tell me not to get my hopes up about it.
What would be their reasoning for this?
Are women less likely to have a successful business? Would possible clients be less likely to deal with a company if a woman was in charge?
Edit: I know owning a business is very difficult, I've worked with small businesses before and have seen how they work. And 'one day' to me means I'd like to wait maybe twenty years. I know that's a long time, but at the moment I'm only 18 and still in college, so to me it isn't a long time at all, if that makes sense.

Transfer =S
So, I'm thinking of transferring schools next year. Courses and the school transfer application have to be in within a couple of weeks and I was planning on making my decision by the end of this weekend.
So here's my situation: I'm not sure if I should stay at the high school that I'm currently at or switch to another one. The one that I am currently at is about 5 minutes driving distance and about 45 minutes walking. It's a medium sized school with about 1500-1600 students. I'm a minority in the school (I have no problem with this!! It's just that my parents want me to date within my own religion which is Judaism and its hard when 60% is Asian, 30% is Afghan/Persian/etc and 10% is white with about 2% of that being Jewish) and the other school is about 90% Jewish. As well, the latter is a bigger and newer school. It has 1200 enrolled for next year. It is about 15-20 minutes driving distance depending on the traffic/weather and in the next town. Walking is definitely out of the question.
I'm really not sure what I should do. I have a good support base and a fall back at my current school where over the past 5/6 months I have established many friendly relationships (keeping in mind that I am a grade nine student and have just entered high school and having completed my first semester). At the other school I know some people but I'm worried about making new friends all over again and being confused with the school (typical new student) especially being shy when I first meet people.
I'm not looking for any drama about race or religions related issues... if I had a problem with it I wouldn't be living and learning in such a multicultural community. I would just like some advice about what I should do. In advance, thank you so much for your help!

why don't girls like each other???
do you have a theory on this?
i don't get it. i am 26, and i just can't seem to relate to other females. most of them just seem catty, and i am never interested in what they have to say. sure, i have lots of "casual" female friends that i talk to online, or will hang out and chat with briefly if i happen to run into them, but i have no close female friends, none that i would just call up to talk or to want to hang out with. haven't really since highschool. i don't know what it is, but i just relate to guys and enjoy the company of them 100% more than females. i'm by no means a tomboy or anything, i am in a good solid relationship with a great guy, and i dunno, he just does not understand why i have no girl friends. i can't really explain it either.
can anyone help me get to the bottom of this?? i have never understood this phenomenon.

It isn't really volunteering though. It's more like integrating with the community, becoming part of the culture, and in the end also helping the people learn.
My question is... what are some similar organizations and programs that I can join that do this? I believe the CWY program is only for Canadians and I am American.

Commercial Songs!
1. Honda civic commercial, with the several different versions of the same guy getting in the car, driving down the road, and then all the different versions vote in little stands. Song is sorta electronic, I catch, "workin' on the streets" as one of the lines.
Found! It's "The Huddle Formation" by The Go! Team.
2. Geico commercial, with the caveman in the airport. He's on the walkway and notices the sign saying "so easy a caveman can do it" and he gets upset. It's a very mellow song, goes something like, "And everywhere I go...there's always something to remind me..."
Found! It's "Remind Me" by Röyksopp.
3. I think it's Verizon? Some cellphone commercial. I'm actually annoyed by the song now, but I just want to know who sings it! It's the "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, somethin's got me started..."
