It was very sad. I never got back in touch with half those people, since I was computerless for several months. v.v

I'm sorry
Hopefully She wont wipe all my bookmarks and such out... My grandpa wouldnt let her though. thankfully.

That's basically my parents' attitude towards my excessive use of laptop. As long as I don't start to fail, they're ok with it.

I really should finish my English homework... I need to have it finished for tomorrow. Aaah, the joys of the Random Banter thread!

These, Boxer shorts, as you call them, are in fact what I was referring to.

You really should get a new pair.

[Zocelot]

I'm the exact opposite. I do spend too much time on the computer, and my grades fall because of it. Having someone restrict my time would probably be better for my grades. However, if that were the default and I made a bet that if I fail anything I have restricted computer time, my grades would still fall. There's a lot of room for a mediocre student to fall before they actually fail.

There is no "short" in my boxers, thank you. Nor are my swim trunks "shorts". That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

But really, shorts are uncomfy, and no one wants to see my scar-covered lower legs. >.<

I'll disagree with both of those. Shorts are much more comfortable in certain weathers. And there are people.

[Zain]

i for one hate wearing shorts, as i never feel right in them, my legs feel bare and unprotected

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

I'm a jeans guy normally, but shorts are handy in the summer. Especially when travelling. Because ANYWHERE is warmer than here in the summer. Well, not really true, but you know what I mean.

Summers here are regularly in the 100/40 degree + range. I have burned myself on metal left in the sun for half a minute, it's so hot. I still wear my jeans. >.>

And what people? You wanna see my scars? 'cause I have TONS of them. >.<

Yeah. Summer here is usually around 30, on an especially hot day.

And sure, show us your scars!

You should try wearing shorts. Maybe with sunscreen, if you have to be out too long. I don't know.

Eh, why not?

Nah. I don't feel hot in jeans. *shrugs*

And in order to do that, I'd have to shave my head. And be naked. Sorry. =P

*hugs*...maybe if you come visit sometime.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

If we come visit, Ikari will shave his head?

Or just point out where the scar is. You can kinda feel it, actually.

I have bumpy scar on the back of my head, too, from a snowboarding accident when I was 6 or 7.

[Trobby]

Speaking of hot weather and shorts, it was really warm here today. Like, in the upper 60's warm. Why is that strange?

It's mid-November in central New York.

We're not supposed to be this warm in mid-November Central New York.

Eh...but I didn't even go outside today. :/ Too much work to get done. Tomorrow, if it's that nice out though, you better believe I'm going out.

Edit: My head is just sorta naturally bumpy...D:

Wear your scars with pride! Who knows? Maybe it'll inspire you getting a scar worth impressing women at parties with.

You know how the weather is in certain places. In Milwaukee, for example, you might get one nice day followed by eight days or was it weeks of snow.

The same might apply for New York, only without as much snow.

I finished my English! 3000 words, 9 pages double spaced.

[cycoris]

So, here's what I just emailed my writing professor.

Spoiler

Oh dearest professor, I fear I bring you bad news

I mean no offence, and I know it’ll leave my grade slightly bruised

You see, for the past four days I’ve been disgustingly sick

And take my word, it’s not that I’m lovesick

The computer screen makes my head want to explode

I have a scratchy throat, and there’s a funny feeling in my nose

I’m writing this now with my screen dimmed all the way down

And cotton in my ears to block out my little brothers’ sounds

Right now I just don’t think I can finish that essay

I even opened up the document, but my brain wouldn’t cooperate

I was writing about linguistics, my mother’s favourite field

And I think I managed to not go off on some weird spiel

I loved the subject, I had lots more that I wanted to say

And I may do so for myself, just on a later date

But I’ve spent all of today either asleep or reading Poe

It’s the 200th anniversary of his birth this year, you know

And MWA* put out this great anthology

I snatched a week ago when I was at the library

Maybe it’s just my slight fever, but I don’t find him scary this time around

Even though at twelve, he made me jump at every little sound...

...Where was I?

Oh, yes.

I’m sorry for the lack of essay this time around

Please don’t judge me too harshly, (though I know you’re contractually bound)

But hey, here’s something you won’t have to deal with tonight

And that’s my comma abuse problem, which I hear is quite a fright

So with that thought, good professor, I leave you to rest

And hope I don’t puke in class tomorrow, since that would make a mess


*Mystery Writers of America

I'm lucky though, he drops our lowest 2 grades, so it's not that big a deal. But this prof's got a good sense of humour, I hope it'll make him laugh.

Bah. I still have to write my modern lit response paper (not a real essay, just a short unpolished piece of writing discussing basically whatever we want). I'm talking about the executed Irish Republicans in Yeats' Easter 1916 being "reborn" as they are memorialized.

I don't want to finish it.

Humor is always good for lightening a mood, but I am not sure how your teacher would grade it. Maybe a CD or D from a following the assignment point.

It's awesome, but I couldn't get into the rhyme scheme, if there was one beyond "Rhyme every now and then."

I agree—it's an awesome poem-ish thing, but the rhyme scheme is a little funky/nonexistent.

The part where "lovesick" appears to be rhymed with "sick" especially bothered me.

Eh, I wasn't sending it in for a grade, more as an explanation of why I wasn't turning in an essay.

Thanks. Dunno if there really was a rhyme scheme, it just happened to be whatever came out. I wrote it in fewer than ten minutes, and I'm not exactly at my best here. It wasn't meant to be taken as actual 'literature', so don't analyse it too much, mm-kay?

[Coidzor]

What's wrong with sickly sissy again?

[Phase]

Man... I should NOT stay up this late browsin' the web. I start to see things... horrible things...

Not the grasshoppers! NO!!!!!

Just kidding, they're crickets.

I don't know about your professor, but if it were me, I'd give you an extension.

And extra credit for being awesome. :) Then get fired. D: Stupid academical standards...
