*sniffle* I go to my Sixth-form reunion every year. The Deputy head buys me a pint and I always spend at least half an hour putting the world to rights with my old Maths teacher.
Mind you, That was sixth form (kinda like pre-college) - I wouldn't go to my Secondary school (high school) reunions. I keep in touch with the few I got along with, the rest can go hang

Well.... my GoodReads website says 1,820, as of this morning. But I'd say over 2,100, since I have a bunch that I can't match up the titles with to enter in, and then several with no ISBN numbers to even put in the system. A bookstore owner friend said that the ones with no ISBN numbers are put out privately. Fantastic :) The more the Merrier! |

I just recently read an article recommending email etc in place of paper invitations as a way to go a bit green. I would hope the wording would still be polite. Just a point of view.... Going green is grand and all - talking as somebody who's a right activist on the whole 'going green' thing - but there's no need to let it run your life to the point of not sending out paper invitations. Maybe go for recycled/recyclable paper for them, but there's something important about an invitation landing on the front doormat. ooh, that sounds all confrontational and everything  I guess politeness goes both ways and even getting an invitation is wonderful, regardless of the methods.
In fact, I got an invitation to a cousin's wedding over facebook - though she lives in Australia and didn't have my current address. I was thrilled to get it nonetheless...

I am very disturbed that such a refined young English Lass is even aware of The Waltons.
Hey, some of us brits like it too :p For me it's proper solid-fuel Agar or Rayburn ovens, proper manners/'gentlemanly' behaviour and 70's Prog Rock. M

I'm also a firm advocate of the 'I'm insignificant' view - how can one be truly humble (if humbleness is even a virtue) when one believes that we were placed here specially, specifically and for a definite purpose? Wasn't it you that claimed you have an astronomical ego? 
I'm just sayin.....  
Oh yeah, but when you're as awesome as me, it's not hard to be humble too

On that last comment, you get a couple more, my man.
Though, the topless picture drops you a point at least :p I'd go with a 6/10 peace. |

Those are the words, but you really have to hear the guy recite it. And I obviously don't agree with his thoughts, but it's a great poem nonetheless. I must hold my hand up to being someone who applauds pieces like this - because, to me, they ring true. Also, that lovely line near the start: And across the room, my wife Widens her eyes Silently begs me, Be Nice A matrimonial warning Not worth ignoring I've seen that look, and I'm guilty of the very rant Tim's on

Obviously, I'm not intending to offend, these are just my views on the whole subject. |

Some of the coolest and nicest people I've ever know have been -very- goth. It's not about being sad and hating everyone - that's emo.
Plus, y'know, it's kinda hot... 
Ok maybe I should clarify - it's got to be moderate to qualify really. |

number 10 is soooooooo right

1. You have a list of things he needs to stop doing/saying/wearing if he wants your relationship to work. If you're fixating on his flaws, he's either not the one you want or you're not ready for a serious relationship. Cutting him loose allows you time to grow and gives you the opportunity to meet a guy whose flaws you can embrace -- or at least accept. Sure. Don't blame yourself for getting involved with someone who does a bunch of crap you don't like. 2. You don't trust him. A small dose of jealousy can be healthy, but if you're hacking into his email account, and going berserk when he goes out without you, something's wrong. If there's something about him that truly warrants your distrust, then perhaps he's not the right one for you.
Couldn't possibly have anything to do with her being insanely insecure, right?? He MUST be doing something to cause her not to trust him. 5. One of you is struggling with an addiction. He's sweet. He's exciting. He loves you very much. But he loves his alcohol habit or his weekly gambling fix more. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you can change him or that your relationship will be strong enough to withstand the heartache that addiction will inevitably bring. An addict may be able to change, but he'll do so on his own terms.
Yep. Has nothing to do with the fact that she doesn't feel, deep down inside, that she deserves any better. 7. Your long-term, non-negotiable goals in life are incompatible. You want kids; he doesn't. You go to church every week; he's an atheist. He lives in the country and doesn't want to move; you can't imagine ever leaving the city. Superficial differences can be overcome, but differences in basic values are harder to smooth over. Ask yourself: "Would I be willing to compromise on this?" If the answer is absolutely not, you may not be right for each other.
Why in the hell would she allow herself to get involved with someone so completely different in the first place? We call those women- stupid!
I'd say there's a much easier way to 'know'. Usually it comes in ring form... |

I guess I will be the lone dissenter. Sitting down to read just is of zero interest to me. I'm busy. If I've got some free time I would rather do something outside my school work, or my garage/business. Most of the reading I do is technical articles or patents. So in my free time I would much rather go have fun in the race car I just built, or go to a baseball game, go snowboarding, go see my old college roommate, ride my motorcycle, see a play, et al. I actually resent the implication that if I don't read for leisure that I couldn't be as smart as you book worms. I guarantee that's not the case. I would challenge anyone in this thread explain and do the engineering of a wankel rotary engine, a laminar flow air to water intercooler, correctly size a turbo - compressor wheel, turbine wheel, a housing A/R for both sides to turn a 180bhp bhp hyundai engine to a 600 hp engine. Then apply that which you just read to make it work in reality. hey, kudos for standing up and saying it - I'll never be able to do half the stuff you say, and I'm guilty of putting across a feeling of "if you don't read lots, you're not as smart as you could be". However, reading is just one of those things that makes or breaks my life - if I'm reading a great book I'll read it every second I get and I'll be in paraxisms about it for weeks. Hands up who's gone to bed with a -really- good book and been interrupted my the alarm going off in the morning?  I guess we could include people who started and finished a book in the same night :p

DnD, Magic the gathering (just getting back into this actually). I used to be into table-top games like Warhammer and the Lord of the Rings tabletop, but that was a while back now. PC-wise, I'm a real geek :p All the Morrowind scrolls (Netherwinter Nights, Oblivion), World of Warcraft, Guild Wars. I really, really, liked Mass Effect. I've played my fair share :) |

love sucks. guys break my heart left and right..... i know im not alone. The hell you're alone. Dare I quote The Divine Comedy? "Why must we loose love to ever know love at all?" It happens to the best of us, the trick is to keep your head up and remember that not only are you awesome, but also, you can thrive as just you. The last breakup I went through was rough - I was head over heels for the girl and we'd been together for 3 1/2 years. Then I moved to Spain and she fell in love with somebody else. Hurt. Like. Hell. But, slowly -oh so slowly- I started to realise that actually 'me' wasn't defined by me+her anymore and actually this meant that I was having a lot more fun. Sure, it sucked for a long while but keep yer head up, lass - it gets better :) |
