@Caunion: Ouch. That paper sounds nasty. My sympathies.

Breathing. Not as easy as one might think. And I'd rather not have either of my parents hate me more than they do already.
And I wouldn;t have it any other way. :hug: Only maybe happier sometimes. And you have no idea how insanely loudly I just laughed when I read that

I'll try to record my school's morning show tomorrow. I'm pretty sure you'll get a kick out of it. Especially if Shiny Girl is on it.
I'm sure you could find video tutorials on youtube if you looked. I... can't see how they really could be any worse without passing the line of child abuse.
Yay! :hug: Happiness is good, but I'm a nice guy who shares it with other people rather than keeping it for myself all of the time. </bull> I'm glad. But it's true.

"Nude" - Radiohead

Thank god my parents have been saving up for my college tuition since I was a fetus, allowing me fully paid escape.

@Starlight: Yes. It is. I'm now writing anything that is potentially relevant to my topic.

@timx4: Lucky. I have to find loads and loads of scholarships to pay for my college tuition. And I had the unhappy chance to want to go to out-of-state schools

Ooh. Do it. I would too, but cameras of all kinds are strictly prohibited. I'm sure you'd love Air Quotes Kid. :P
They've got ones on breathing while singing, swimming, and jogging, but none on simply breathing. :confused: And trust me, they could be. And you'd be surprised how much damage parents are allowed to do to their children before it's considered child abuse. I looked it up once.
Not bull. Work on saving yourself a little. You don't always have to give people the last cookie in the jar, you know. :P And it is. I still haven;t told her I met you. :lol:

The Prescience of Dawn -The Weakerthans

Yeah. My mother especially was just like, "Well, if you're stupid enough not to take the scholarship, I'm not going to enable further stupidity." Not those exact words, but in a nutshell. And my father is poor from paying her a third of his crappy income for forever. So I'm on my own here.

EDIT:
Caunion: *beep*. The refuge of high school paper writers everywhere. And I'd like to go out-of-state too, but it's SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE especially when you have to pay for it all yourself.

Caunion: Ugh. You see, the only reason I'm going to college, due to my overwhelming unexceptionalness, is because of it. Also, I just noticed that your icon is animated and momentarily thought I was insane.

"Open Your Eyes" - Snow Patrol

Starlight: :orly: Everything about your life is bizarre. And do tell.
Aww, darn. I really hoped they would. And... Wow. I don't even know what to say anymore besides "I'm so sorry."
Blame the parents and the church. :roll: I'd like to see the look on her face if you ever do.

You are insane. But that thing about Caunion's icon made me laugh again. Also, *hits* you are not unexceptional.
Some other time. It's too long to type out now.
Me too. That woould have been hilarious. And don't be. It's not your fault.
*blames* Someday, revenge. And I'll take a video. :yes:

@Starlight: Yeah. In Florida, there's like only one decent school and that's UF and every single little *beep* wants to go there. So that's not a choice. I want to go near a giant city. Like Chicago..

And yeah, my mum said if I didn't get a scholarship, I'm pretty much screwed for college.

@timx4: Yes, Owen's eyes are moving. They're watching you. Mind you, I wouldn't mind if Owen was watching me..

Hey, it was scary. And well... I just found out that my class load for this year isn't enough to get me into any of the schools I want. So yeah, I am.
I'm going to bug you until you tell me.
Can we post it on youtube when you do?

"Angels/Losing/Sleep" - Our Lady Peace

Caunion: That's not creepy or anything. *Stares* Back and forth...

Hey, the University of Chicago is begging me to attend. :yes: They've sent me four letters so far.

I believe you. It kinda is. And do you honestly think that the college admissions people are good judges of exceptional-ness? :no: Plus, knowing you, you probably wanted insanely impossibly prestigious schools. Overacheiver.
You do that. :tongue:
Sure. Since the ones of me dancing at work will never happen. Especially since I'm probably quitting.
College letters. I could literally have built a house with all the ones I got. All from retarded schools. Except a few. And I can;t go any of the good places. :(

@Caunion: You'll find somewhere I'm sure. And it'll worth it to get out of a place you don't want to be.

@timx4: Same here. Both from them and UIC. I'm like "I'm applying for your school. Don't worry..."

@Starlight: Yeah, I'm sure the college admissions people are going to love my essay. I wrote how Crowley from Good Omens was an influential figure to me.

No, but it still hurts. In the general area of my heart muscle. Also, yes... but that's beside the point. There is no way that I can take four AP classes this year.
Bug. Beetles. Ants. Grasshoppers.
:( This is a tragedy.
I say we pool ours (I've gotten 127 so far) and make a castle. :tongue: I KNOW. I mean, who wants to go to some random Baptist school in Georgia? Not me.

Buddy, take off the girl pants and your voice might drop the to the point that I can listen to you without cringing.

Caunion: *High fives* I have yet to reply to any of them.

Oh trust me, I know. My Harvard-bound friend is making me develop an inferiority complex over here. And it's very much to the point. You are impossibly hard on yourself. And that's why I refused to take Honors pre-calc this year. :yes:
Delicious. *eats*
Como triste! :'(
I recycled them all. Sorry. :( And the scary part is that people do.

@Caunion: At least you got to pick an interesting topic. College essay topics are *beep*. I have to do one on what unique qualities I can bring to their school or some other crap like that. :yuck:

Oh college letters. I have enough for a bonfire. Someone asked me to go to a random Baptist school in Georgia (much like they did to you) and my mum was rather persistent in trying to get me to apply there. I'm like "Thanks but no thanks!"

@Starlight: Eww that topic does stink.

Eww, AP classes. Just as bad as IB.
