In a nutshell HPDarkness1, anything you type with your thumbs is full of fail... Don't believe me watch boondocks.

Sorry, but that's how it works at least in my school. I think it's because you would have to call them, wait for it to connect and stuff. I do see how it would be much easier, but, idk, they text and if I didn't it just wouldn't be right with them.

BTW, paperboy could be a good choice for me, that is, if we had paperboys. No one really does that in my neighborhood so I couldn't work as one. Plus I'd have to get up really early and stuff and idk if I'm prepared to do that

If I could get a decent job for myself and have some more income, I wouldn't complain much; after all, it's only an extra $5 a month. But I don't, and I wish I was old enough to something mediocre and easy and work at Best Buy or something similar. I think that's what I'm going to do when I turn 15 or 16--work at Best Buy. My dad recommended it because he wants family discounts

And I could too. W00t.

Okay, so I guess the problem here is that you're lazy. Fix that and you'll be making money in no time.

As for texting, I pretty much agree with HPDarkness1. If I wanted my mother to pick up caviar at the store, I'd probably text her so she can always reference it later and so she doesn't forget as easily. I'd probably also text someone if I really did not have time, but that's usually never the case, 9 out of 10 times. As for texting in school, well you shouldn't be on your phone anyway so I can't say I feel sorry for you.

I'm not lazy. I need my sleep, and that was a side note anyway. If it meant making good money, I'd set 10 alarm clocks and wake up at 5 in the morning if I had to. I just like to lay there on the weekdays and stuff. But if I could ditch that for a good-paying job, I'd be out of there fast.

0m3g4Muff1n987, why not just tell your friends not to send you a lot of messages...? I don't think that's too hard.

Damn H3 spawn points in objective gametypes. Getting ambushed from behind because the other team gets to spawn behind you is outrageous.

Thursday, me and my friend made plans to go snowboarding tomorrow. Today I asked him if he was still up for it, he said yeah, but he'll have to get money. At 11:00 PM I text him because he hadn't text me so I would know if he was going or not... And he tells me he's going to church with a girl he likes.
He could have let me known this earlier. I had been making plans, prepping everything and getting everything I needed in order, and he decides to break it up last minute. I was going to go with someone else too, but I have no way of getting to him or anything. It's pretty aggravating when people do that shit.

Call of Duty 4 is worse :/

EDIT: Though that's deathmatch... Still worse than Halo 3 though. It's my only rant/complaint about the multiplayer.

Terminal velocity is a *** to get! It takes forever, and I keep going off to the side and hitting the floor without touching the controller.

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 1:52 am

Takes that long eh?

I thought i just wasn't doing it right and was hitting the sides of the portal, slowing me down. It wasn't necessary to correct my position, it was in the center of the portal, but I guess I just wasn't patient enough. It was just a PC achievement though, not XBL, so I didn't worry about it.

Senor_Grunt · Post by **Senor_Grunt** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 2:02 am

It took 10 minutes after I finally got to a center point where I didn't hit the sides and land on the floor.

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 2:06 am

Ouch. I think I only waited like 2 minutes.

shadowkhas · Post by **shadowkhas** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 4:58 am

The easiest way to do that is to make a portal directly above you, and then directly below you...making the portals and then jumping into them is what messes you up.

Bummer JK.

I was planning to go to a concert on Friday with a friend, but she had to go to her mom's place for the weekend.

Terminal Velocity wasn't that bad. Took me 2 or 3 tries to get centered and start falling, but once I did it didn't take that long. I heard it was easier on a level with a very high ceiling, I don't believe it though.

I saw someone's rpg go through a helicopter once.

Holy mother of god... I can't focus on work at all. I'll do like one thing related to work, then I find myself back here or on Remnant.

Then I come to realization that I can't focus...

Then I start doing more work.

Process repeats indefinitely...
