Tomorrow starts spirit week at my school and I'm probably going to be one of the few seniors not going over the top. It's ~mix and match Monday.
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:

I'm not sure I can even articulate this adequately, it's so weird.
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?!!!!!!!!

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
Dear 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.

Why do you buy 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.

A company contacted me via Monster.com which I had previously applied to about six months ago from a different account. It turned out to be a huge scam. What are some good ideas to fuck with them? I'm bored and it's scary how I almost fell for it (until I Googled the company name a day before I signed tax papers with them). They also called me four or five times to harass me after I told them I wouldn't be taking the job and that they should Google their company name, so I want to fuck with them if at all possible.
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?

At my office, the guys cook lunch for everyone almost weekly. Sometimes it's just hot dogs and brats, sometimes it's steaks and pork chops. We're pretty spoiled. :)
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.

Any of you guys into roller derby?
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.

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.

Would getting somebody to write the program notes for my Senior Recital be cheating?
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.

For a few months at least I've had these little bumps pop up in the back of my mouth (around my tonsils) that last for a few days before going away. I poke at them with my tongue - or somethings a fork or a knife - and eventually they pop. They're filled with some gooey liquid like pus. They are not painful. Does anyone know what these are? Googling "bumps in my mouth" reveals stuff like canker sores or things on the lips.
Also, is it normal to be able to see your tonsils/feel them with your tongue? My left tonsil seems to be a lot bigger than my right 'cause I poke at it all the time.

Feelings and farm animals
1. I'm jealous about something stupid (someone on my flist), so to cope better I'm drinking cheap chardonnay
How do you deal with unwanted, ridiculous emotions?
2. For those of you who have a Facebook and play Farmville, I'm looking to add some neighbors. Wanna be my neighbor?

Lately I've been reading a lot of "how to survive the recession" articles, and it's depressing because 99% of the money-saving tips they offer only apply to people who are/were pretty well-off. It's all things like "rent out a few bedrooms in your house" or "sell your luxury car and buy a less expensive one". I'm seriously expecting to see something like "stop sprinkling diamonds on your cereal every morning".

Since 6:20 this morning, Facebook has told me I could not access my account due to maintenance and to check back in a couple of hours. It's been over twelve - is this happening to anyone else? I know my friends can get on because they're sending me msgs and such. Also, I checked downforeverybodyorjustme but since it says maintenance and friends or on, it did not surprise me that it said it's just me.

About ten minutes ago, I heard all this commotion going on outside, Then some guy was yelling into a cell phone his address, and a woman was screaming, "HURRY! HURRY!" About eight minutes ago, two fire engines rolled up, along with an ambulance and about two police cars. And more police cars and coming still! There are, like, seven out there!
If someone had gotten hurt by, say, falling down a flight of stairs, would police show up in that instance? Did something criminal happen out there?
Have you ever had a brigade of police, fire engines, and ambulances outside your residence? Did you ever find out what happened?
EDIT: I'll crosspost this attqc_updates, but my mom just found out from a neighbor that someone got stabbed. And apparently, the person got super crazy gnarly stabbed. Now they're CSI-ing it up out in front of our house. They got the police tape and the little yellow numbers everywhere.

Do you ever feel like you were born in the wrong time period?
If so, what time period do you think you should've been born in?
Why?
--
Can you just listen to classical music or does it put you to sleep?
Or are you like me who can do both, but when just listening to it, dissect each instrument looking for errors or just to hear what instrument has what part?
Also, can you tell when they have up or down bows?

If you're poor and you watch shows that portray rich people:
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.

I'm trying to log in to Blackboard but it keeps telling me "an error occurred while the system was processing this login request." I googled the error and supposedly it means that the username (as opposed to just the password) is invalid but the person it belongs to swears up and down that I am using the right one (they even wrote it down for me).
I know a good portion of you are students. ANY OTHER possible reason for that error/trick I can try to get in*? :(

Do you like the show Dexter? Have you seen the first 2 episodes of season 4 yet?
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?

Okay my roommate just got a Cinema HD 24" Display Monitor. But we have no idea how to hook it up. She has a white 13" MacBook from last year. The monitor didn't come with any sort of set up instructions. How do we do this???
