Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!

[Cheezdude]

I'm over the flu. It seems to be hitting just about half the school, though.

[PoikSpirit]

And in regards to Survivor, I was actually planning to bring it back after Thanksgiving....

Yeah... Right.

So our teacher stuck us with an impossible Renewable Energy project. We have to build a biomass fueled steam engine RC car in under $20 in two weeks. Awesome.

In other news... I really wanna read the novel Les Miserables since I love the musical so much, howver, it is insanely long, and I am also not sure which translation to buy.... but, yeah, ~1,400 pages... is a lot of pages.

Hi! A friend of mine read the book because he really liked the musical. He said it was long and tended to go off tangents that didn't have anything to do with the main story.

I got a Mario Hat for reaching Platinum status in Club Nintendo last year. Maybe I'll wear it to Saboten-con this weekend...

Tokazu Rinkaarichikushi here

6:30 'til 8pm classes suck. I keep almost falling asleep in them because I'm so tired by the time I get to them.

[Winters Rage]

I'm Tokitochikutotemo-Jikarinkushi XD took me forever to do that, and now I can't even pronounce it XD

Heso! Guess what, children? I've got a story to tell you. Once upon a time, I was giving Colly a ride to work. As soon as I started driving away from her house, she realized she forgot to check the mail. I pulled over to the side of the road, we ran back to her mailbox, saw that there was nothing there, then ran back to my car. The neighbors gave us a funny look. So we're driving along, heading for the Burger King which is less than a mile from her house... and less than fifty feet from the police station. We're driving, and we're driving, and we stop at a red light, and there are police behind us, sirens going off and everything! Exciting, right? But I didn't think much of it so I kept driving. And the sirens were still really loud, right behind me. Coincidence, right? I parked at Burger King... and the sirens still didn't stop. And they asked to see my license and registration... The police, that is, not the sirens. And so I showed them. And then I asked why they pulled me over. Apparently the neighbors that gave us funny looks called the cops on us. Because they saw a couple of "kids" getting into a car.

"Suspicious kids that didn't look old enough to drive."

I'm 18, you know. Colly will be in two weeks. I can vote. I can buy cigarettes and porn. Not beer, but I can get the other two. And I can definitely drive. Never even gotten any tickets. So the first time I was ever pulled over wasn't for speeding or being reckless as you'd expect from a teenage driver, oh no. This first time I ever got in trouble with the police...

It was because I looked too young.

Doesn't help that Colly's not much better. She's small and Asian, see. We're about the same height, I'm just a little taller... my excuse is, I'm Irish. Part Leprechaun. And we're about the same age, she's just two months younger. So last year, when I was a Senior and she was a Junior, there was a teacher that mistook us for Freshman.

Twice.

Even after we corrected her once.

Why am I telling you all this? Well, the reason should be obvious, there's a moral to my story:

Look your age, not your shoe size.

[Winters Rage]

lol, that was... random XD my shoe size now is what, like 4 and a half? 5 maybe, and occasionally my mom will tell me that I'm acting that age, but like I said in the 'post a picture of yourself' thread, I'm almost 14, and I look like im 10-12! (thats what I normally get )

[NabMaster]

Ugh I sorta know how you feel Silver, even though I'm 20 now I still get asked for ID to get into 18A movies occasionally

So I'm debating about going home for the Remembrance Day long weekend (technically the Friday isn't off, but nobody'll be going on that day anyways). Sure, it's another $120 for the bus tickets and an 8 hour bus ride each way (6 if I'm really lucky), but I really miss my cats and my friend in Utah might be able to get up to Seattle to visit her grandma and if she did then it'd only be a few hours drive to go visit her So yeah, not sure whether to go or not.

[Winters Rage]

I recommend the one to see your friend, true, it is nice to go back home(?) for a few days, but friends are always important, especially if their special, this coming from the gamer with no friends in real life >.> XD well, that or I have no idea what I'm talking about (the choices, not friends, I'm sure about my friends statement)

Heh. Happens all the time to my friend's older sister. She's a freshman at MIT now, but under a year ago, when she was flying out to... Seattle, I believe, she was at the airport and they needed photo ID 'cos she was flying alone. She gave her liscence which BLATENLY said she was over 18. They asked if she was an unaccompanied minor. Heh.

Okay, so the girl is short, and does look veerrrry young. But, also, when she was 15 and her brother was 12, they went to the movies. 12 and under gets a discount. They believed she was 12 and under. They did not believe her brother was. Just this summer, I went to see Harry Potter with them. They still believed she was 12 and under. An 18 year old.

Also, a while ago at the mall, my two friends (both are on the short side) were asked if one of them was the other's mother. Not sure how that happens. They were freshmen, both of them....

Point is, people are stupid when it comes to ages.

Hi! You know Silver, that reminds me of a story... A few years back when I still lived in CO, my friend and I got a temp job delivering phone books. Which essentially boils down to sticking zillions of phone books in bags and then driving around and putting the bags on peoples' doorsteps. So we'd go to a housing development, hop out the car, and run the books to the houses on both sides of the road, drive a bit further, repeat, repeat, repeat. And then we got pulled over by the police, because someone had reported seeing some suspicious kids hanging out in the neighborhood. I suppose the person who called may have thought we were looking for a house to rob or something, but they probably just really didn't want a phone book.

[Metalheadz]

Well, today utterly sucked... Yet again.

Basically, all my friends are being pricks as usual. I'm doing well in meeting a lot of new people, thankfully. But unfortunately, too many of my close friends are becoming so immature these days all the care about are video games and porn. What the heck...? -_-

I guess I'll barely be active on the forum now, you'll only find me in discussion forums and game time threads. I'm abandoning my roleplays for now, until my life finally gets better.

God Bless all of you, PVF members.

[Siranae]

That...that's ridiculous. They called the police on you because you looked suspicious? People might be getting paranoid because Halloween is near, think kids'll be going crazy and stuff. The police in my town, which is a rather quiet town by the way, are at the moment nuts.

This Saturday me and my sister didn't even get in the car before a police cop pulled up beside us. We had this exchange:
Police Cop:"Uh, you guys know you have a 7:30 curfew."
Sister: "...what?"
Cop: "Yeah, it's a curfew for Halloween."
Me: "Um, Halloween is a week away."
Cop: *ignores me* "On Mischief Night it'll be 6:00."
Sister: "What if we can drive?"
Cop: "Still 7:30."
Sister: *Points to friend* "What if he's 18?"
Cop: "...It's still 7:30."

...Really? I guess we looked suspicious because we were all running down the sidewalk to the car, but still.

[Quick!]

Hey White Samurai, what's wrong with video games and porn?

.....what? It's perfectly legal to watch if you're over 18 :P
In my opinion, if you don't like what they're doing, go find other people that share the same interest as you. You don't need to change for anybody nor should they change for you.

Also, cops never bother me. Huzzah for being Canadian?
