Were you a really involved senior (or high school student in general) with lots of school spirit, did you just not care or were you somewhere in between? Did you go to prom and all the senior activities?

What was the one little mundane thing you miss(ed) most from living in your own place?
For me, it's having my own damn bathroom that doesn't look fresh out of a Walmart or something. :/ I had to go to four different bathrooms in my building just to find one that still had toilet paper in it. D:

It's my car radio. Every station plays the same song. When I turn my car on, the same song plays from the same spot as when I turned it off the last time, just like a CD, only it's the FM radio. It is a loop of about 10 or 12 of the most eclectic, unrelated songs (Mozart, a Lynard Skynard cover, some Imogean Heap, and hip hop song I do not recognize). It has been this way for months. I cannot figure out what is wrong with it.
Two other interesting, weird things. I can tell it is being transmitted from somewhere, because there is varying static like a radio station, only, like I said, all the stations play the same song.
Also, you know when Windows has an error, it makes that beep sound? Well, on one of the songs, there's an error sound just like that. There error is in the same song in the same spot.
At first, I thought maybe I had tapped into some sort of weird satellite station, but that doesn't explain why it plays the same song from the same spot when I turn on the car.
WTF?!!!!!!!!
x-posted
ETA: It is definitely NOT the CD player. it happens even when there is a totally unrelated CD in the player and i have it on FM mode.
a letter to my friend
I think that there is no hell but there might be heaven. IMHO the God can't be that vindictive as to condemn his children no matter how horrible is their crime to the eternal tortures. But as long as He is omnipotent He can arrange special heaven for the chosen ones.
IMHO His worst punishment would be the eternal death.
The next punishment would be the curse to children.
Take Hitler or Lenin. They both had no children. The lesser evil Stalin had children but the God's mills are slow. The damned would be his childrens' children.

If not, can you tell me about a wild animal that you'd love to have as a pet?
If you have pets, do you ever dream about them?
And since we're talking about pets, you can show me yours if that's what you'd like to do?

Why?
Inspired by a Jezebel post
I need it to to live (food stuff)
I need it to learn (schoolbooks/pens/highlighters/flashdriv
I can't go around naked (clothes/shoes/accessories)
It's only one dollar and it's used! (most of my book collection lately)
I need to my cheap books (I do paperbackswap.com)
I need it to avoid babies (contraception)
Because movies are meant to be seen on huge screens and music is meant to be heard live (movies/concerts)
Because it's a birthday or it's for my friend's kid.
Why do you not buy stuff?
It's pink (albeit if it's closer to purple I'll buy it)
It has a logo all over it/has brand names all over (some exceptions apply)
It's a brand new book
It's not flattering on my body
I lack a job.

When you apply for jobs, if you don't fit all of their requirements, do you still apply? Has anyone ever gotten a job that way? A lot of places are like "Oh, you need to speak fluent Spanish" (I took five years of Spanish and understand it, but I'm not the best at speaking it) or "5+ years experience as an administrative assistant" (I have two/three)
When you find yourself unemployed/out of school, how do you keep yourself organized, on a "normal" schedule, and motivated to keep searching for jobs?
Also, ACORN hasn't given me the rest of my paycheck (they skimped out on two days of pay), nor have they written me a letter saying I was laid off so I can claim benefits after I both spoke to someone in person and sent emails. How do I show them not to fuck with me?

But for Christmas the girls always make something for them. And since I'm good in the kitchen it's always me that does the cooking. Every year so far I've either done tacos or lasagna.
What else could I do that would be easy to put together for about 15-18 people, but wouldn't seem like an easy cop out? The meat in it has to be beef as I work for a beef company, though pork might work too. I'd get laughed at for bringing chicken into the office.

I am making a compost bin for my yard next weekend. I see many ways to do this after some googling.
So now I am wondering if anyone in the TQC has done this and if so how did you do it?
Next time, would you do anything differently?

I just saw my first bout on Saturday (it was the championship, TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls, the Hellcats against the Cherry Bombs, Hellcats won!) and it was just about the most awesome, exciting thing I've ever seen! I think I'm hooked, and once the season starts again in January, my buds and I plan to make it a regular thing to go watch. I also think I'd like to start roller skating myself (not necessarily to become a roller derby girl myself, but if I'm good at it, who knows?). It looks like fun and a good way to work out, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on skates and pads and such only to find out I suck at it or don't actually enjoy it. Is it common for skate shops to rent out skates? I don't feel like a couple trips to a roller rink would give me an accurate feel of how much I'd actually like skating, I'd like to maybe rent a pair of skates for a month, try them out on my own, and see what it's like. Or maybe a roller rink would be the best way to go. I don't know. Any advice from someone with experience in that field would be welcome. :)
And if you have no idea about that, what would your rollergirl name be? Mine would be Sunny Burn. >:)

She's done this since she could talk and I don't think that she thinks of any people who look different than she does as being beneath her or unequal to her. I just think this is how she acknowledges the physical differences between how she looks and how they look.

do you think it would be too confusing for people if my url was www.namegoeshere.info ?
Will people get that that is a website that they should visit, or will the lack of .com / .net / .org confuse them too much? the .com/.net/.org for the domain I want are all taken; but I could get a .com.au or a .net.au - but that would involve registering myself for an ABN and that might complicate my takes.

Laptops
I know more-or-less exactly what I want, but what brands should I look at? (No Mac suggestions please!)
I've looked around at laptop ratings, but they're almost always different. The only ones I've seen consistently at the top are Toshiba and Alienware. I've had a Dell most of my life without complaint though. I have an ASUS now and am not too impressed by it.
What brands do you recommend (or recommend to avoid!)?

Nothing says that I have to write them, it just gives guidelines for appropriate program notes and when and where they should be turned in.
And it isn't like I get graded on them. The 'class' is based on how well I perform. I don't think I even get a grade, it's just pass/fail.
I'll undoubtedly end up writing them myself. But I would like opinions on this.

Does it make you feel bad?
Does it make you wish you could live that life style?
Does it make you try to live that lifestyle?
If you're poor and you watch shows that portray poor people:
Does it make you feel not so bad?
Do you accept what life has dealt you and learn to love it?
Personally I like watching stuff like It's Always Sunny, Flight of the Conchords, and The Young Ones, because it makes me more proud that I only have 3 pairs of jeans, shared a room my whole life, have a bathroom with no doorknob, have a non-functioning kitchen, and make stuff for people as gifts instead of buying things.

Do you get anxious watching it?
I am so freaking out (anxious) watching this second episode. I don't understand the wanting to hurt people and people able to cut up people's bodies and all that. But somehow more than that I am amazed he can handle the stress. I mean, I think about the little shit I worry about in my life. I could not imagine the stress I would have if I was trying to keep the fact that I murder people and cut up their bodies secret. And I'm just like "OMG DUDE HOW ARE YOU NOT FLIPPING OUT RIGHT NOW!"
Am I the only person who gets this anxious on behalf of a fictional character?
