I love the foreign teachers/lecturers. I love paying bucket loads of cash to someone who can' even communicate, where we are essentially paying to teach ourselves, that's what Uni is all about...I should just buy the textbooks (or maybe even skip on those) and do it from home and save me a few thousand. Also the ones that can't speak English always look funny >_> I can see that as being interpreted as racism/discimination, but like its odd that they all seem to be midgetts with glasses.

But yea I get you now - the pointless stuff does suck, however I'm thankful that I rarely get that anymore.

My pedal broke again. That makes three times it has cracked in different places each time.

It has cracked (and snapped) across the top, then it cracked on the sides of the base, and finally it cracked where the bottom of the pedal pivots which finally KOed it for good.

Replacement is in the mail now...I really hope I get it before Rock Band 2.

Since when was it that if you weren't a god**** sasquatch means you shave your arms?

Ahh, humanity is so ******* retarded these days.
What? How is this a big deal? Um... Big Woop? O_o

That was an accident...kinda. I have, however, done various other violent things and am more than willing to share them if you are open to suggestions.
O boy! Story time... Do tell ^_^

Double Yes. And ScottyGEE gets a Cookie. Than again this is a pretty good looking Cookie... . . . .

Edit: My Rant is I ate ScottyGEE's Cookie :Sadface: ( But it was SOOOOO good ).

Edit1.2: Confirmed: Microsoft closing Ensemble
If you thought Microsoft Customer Service was bad before... (Quite a read)

Well, no actually. I'm quiet and keep to myself during class... It's an unfunny joke friends say to each other while they're being obnoxious during class. I want to throw something at them every time they say it.

"Oh, please. Throughout the ages, there have been TONS UPON TONS of more offensive games. Will Wright is merely flexing his creative muscle in beringing us entertainment, nobody is asking anyone to worship Spore, let alone buy it. It’s religious zealots like yourself that tarnish the name of christianity" ( Couldn't of said it any better my self )

That's why I don't normally call myself a Christian. Sure, I believe in God and actively practice my faith, but I also like my death metal and video games allowing me to do things that God wouldn't be inclined to do. They're wrong; Simply put. And it makes me ashamed to be apart of a Church, or anything related to Christianity aside from the core belief.

Shout is a badass. That reminds me. Some pastor of a church put on his church's sign: "I KISSED A GIRL AND LIKED IT. THEN I WENT TO HELL". (If you didn't know its off that one new pop song) Just plain retarded.

My Mom's friend's computer is actually a pretty decent computer, except for the video card. The video card is absolutely horrible, and I need some good, cheap deals on a graphics card if anyone knows of any?

Here's a picture of what "Can I Run It" said about "Halo 2 Vista."
