Why does it seem more important to some people to have social skills than family skills? I daresay, if one cannot relate to relatives, one would think it's that much harder to continue relating to other people.
There are so many activities and programs to keep children busy before, during, and after school these days, but when do they spend time with the people they live with? This is why some parents can't understand their own children.
Besides, relatives are for practice; friends are for
Yes, we all know that BIONCLE has been around for less than a decade, and LEGO gets complaints for its clone (or almost clone) sets. But hasn't Nintendo been doing basically the same thing with Pokémon for ten years? We've been playing the same thing for years, and there's no uproar against Nintendo for this.
Let's not forget that with Pokémon, the games are limited within their own universe: Pokémon can't be put into another universe. It's the same thing everytime you go through the game: yo
Complete it how you want, but who hasn't heard (and possibly even used) some form of that expression? "If I were you, I would've done what you did differently. I wouldn't have made that mistake you made if I were you."
WRONG.
So totally wrong, it makes 10*10=5 look correct.
Think about it. You're using how you think to assume the other person thinks the same way you do now or would think like you if you were that person. Ipso facto, if you were the other person, you would do exactly wh
Okay, I'm not really pursuing ignorance... it just follows me everywhere I go.
Anyway, I might have seemed to be online sporadic lately (not that the busy server helps either), but there are reasons for that. Now I won't divulge all my secrets... because then it wouldn't be fun, and no one would be randomly guessing incorrectly.
I have college (semester's almost over) and an offline job to do (one that pays!). I've also been working and planning on some projects that may be revealed later
It was a slightly crazy weekend. Friday we had to worry about tornadoes in my area: one came really close. My house survived intact, and my church had minimal damage (unlike another, which had the roof torn off). My family and I spent like half an hour in our hallway, having only some power fluxes.
Then on Monday (yesterday), there was the horrible news out of Virginia. I'm saddened by this, as an American and a college student. It was so close to the eighth anniversary (this Friday) of that
Okay, I know the point of the current BBC contest is to make a cute Rahi, but some of the MOCs don't really look like creatures. In fact, I'm somewhat confused as to what they are; on the other hand, there are a few really good MOCs that actually look as though effort was put into them, and they look like cute Rahi.
The trouble is you can have something cute and simplistic, but with enough MOCs like that, it won't look much different than a lot of other entries or non-contest MOCs in the pas
Oh lovely, I was planning something for the BZP Frontier League site. I go to login, and now this happens. After all that time I spent on the site too.
Yeah, I even tried the links, but they've been changed. So if anyone has the information that was originally on the site, let me know. Otherwise, I might have to start a new site from scratch.
Sigh, with or without COT, we're still planning to have the league... I just don't know about the site right now: it took so long to make what I ha
I never realized just how dangerous washing dishes could be.
Actually, it's one of the most boring tasks since boredom was discovered, but Friday night whilst doing this horrible task, a glass cake pan decided to break on me. All I got was what looks like a little scar on my right hand and small spot on my head.
The worst part: I had already cleaned the dish.
FYI, I am experienced at finding the most dangerous way to be injured doing the most mundane tasks without trying. I have gotte
Don't worry; I don't want your super powers.
As said in this entry, I was planning something. For whatever reason, I never officially revealed what it was, but if you know what the entry dealt with and hang around COT, I'm sure you already noticed.
While RPGs are by no means exempt from the revival rule, I wanted to keep them all in one convenient place, so I made this. If an RPG is not on the list, it was either overlooked at some point or not approved.
As stated before, drop a PM and
Why are side effects of medicine often worse than what the medicine is trying to cure? If the side effect of a medicine is death, is it better to live with the ailment or chance death?
Why are some side effects what the medicine is trying to cure? If stomachaches are side effects of stomach medicine, how do you know if it's the medicine working?
Why is it that the side effects are what the medicine is supposed to do? Why is drowsiness a side effect of a sleep medicine?
That's why I tak
Okay, we get it: you're Dr. Seuss because you realized "rhyme" sounds like "time" and "poet" sounds like "know it." In fact, I'm so sick of hearing those phrases for poetry: they're some of the lamest, most overdone expressions. (There are very few exceptions, but they have to be within the context of the poem.)
For some reason, people think poetry is all about just making final words sound alike, but that's not true. Good poetry and bad poetry have rhyming words... of course, hardly a poem i
Remember this and this.
(Man, that's terrible photo quality... lousy 3 mega pixels.)
I still stand by it... I hate awards shows. Like I'll care or remember who won what and for what and how great they did. My life doesn't revolve around celebrities... it revolves around the sun.
But wasn't that a great moment when that awesome event happened during that one point? I'll always remember how it went. Yeah, it rocked like a concert.
Speaking of memory, I wonder if elephants can get amnesia
That's a rhetorical question, which means I don't really want an answer.
Somehow, random has become synonymous with funny, when that is not necessarily true. Oh, it's not just on BZP: there are shows that thrive on randomness, but they can become so random as to leave us scratching our heads thinking, "What did I just see? Was I supposed to laugh?" (It's when I'm in those situations I like to think, "If I explain it to you, then will you laugh?")
Sure, random funny can be good, but it's m
Remember when health food wasn't dangerous? Yeah, me neither. First there was the thing with lettuce, and now there's this thing with peanut butter. What potentially healthy food will attack us next? Our broccoli? (And some people say being a vegetarian is better than eating meat.)
Is it now safer to eat Ben & Jerry's over Uncle Ben?
Is it wiser to eat cupcakes over pancakes?
Is it better to eat potato chips over mashed potatoes?
Remember to eat your vegetables, children; they're ful
