A bunch of my old friends are graduating early this month, so next semester I won't have as many people to hang out with here. But I guess that will force me to make new friends, so that's good.

I don't feel the need to do that.
However, since this is the update thread, I do feel like updating all of you on my boyfriend. He wound up not graduating from college (missing a lit class), so he's taking that this January, but won't officially graduate until March.
The couple he moved in with got divorced and the guy immediately found a new girlfriend through eHarmony. After dating for 3 months, they decided to get married and have kids, neither of which has happened yet (he's sterile right now, but apparently it's fixable). They're kicking my boyfriend out.
He's decided he wants to go back to school to get a Master's in teaching, which was his initial job goal in high school - but he thought his scholarship was only good for a "communications" major. Weirdo. His parents have agreed to let him live with them while he's in school..again, but they don't know that he never got his BA.
It would suck ass if he lived at home again, because his dad is super strict and doesn't want us fucking, won't let me spend the night, etc. I'd be willing to move over there (ie slightly farther away from my job) if he got a place, but it's smarter for him to just freeload off his parents, so I bet that won't happen.
but why? you should walk the stage with all your medals and stuff letting people know that you worked very hard to recieve your degree.
oh and I changed my major to communication studies with a specialization in Organizational Communication/Public Relations. I have no idea what I am going to do with this degree.
The upper division business classes are too much for me. I suck at statistics and it's used a lot in the business policy and finance class.
The communication classes are way more interesting. I get to learn about pornograghpy in the media, gay and lesbian realtions...
here's what i'm taking next semester!
COMM 2200 Introduction to Mass Media (3 units) Provides an overview of historical, theoretical, economic, and societal perspectives on the mass media. Topics of special interest will include violence, pornography, advertising, learning, and politics as related to the media.
COMM 3100 Advanced Interpersonal Communication (3 units) A review of the history, current theories, and research findings in such areas as interpersonal attraction, mate selection, compatibility, power, love, sex roles, conflict, and divorce. Alternative forms of close relationships are analyzed, including friendship, cohabitation, and homosexual relations.
COMM 4160 Intercultural Communication (3 units) Examines intercultural communication on the interpersonal level. In particular, it looks at the ways in which cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings. As such, the cultural assumptions brought to the interpersonal communication encounter will be explored.
my parents kicked me out and i moved to atlanta to live with my sister but she doesn't want a roommate so i have to move in february.
p.s. i'm so smitten. seriously. ahalsdhfashdf

aww i'm sorry. Does she pay for your expenses? hey look on the bright side at least you know what it's like to be independent, and on your own. Just try to stay out of your sisters way, orfind a roomate or something. Are you in college now?

chix, you should go to the graduation ceremony and stinkpalm the University President's hand.
And stefanie, why would you want to live in Atlanta anyway? It's hot all the time, Georgia (and its cousin to the south, Florida) basically sucks. But there are some hot Southern girls that make up for it. Unfortunately the mullets and the Chevy vs. Ford debates and the heat negate that huge positive.
By the way I am going to Florida for the i^10 time for Christmas this year, I would rather go to New York City. I was born in Florida, I like NYC better. Plus there are drunk pole dancing chicks on the subway:
Let's see. I completed the CSE animation capstone, and am now TAing for this year's capstone students. I've also partnered up with one of the other capstone students in a new subsequent animation class to make our own animated short, and am also trying to get stuff done for a modeling/shading/texturing demo reel (currently I have a snake, the character I made for the capstone film, completely done; a Protoss Zealot from Starcraft, modeling done, begun on texturing/shading; and a monster with a vaguely Cthulhu/Zoidberg-esque tentacle face, modeling pretty much done. Future plans/other current works include a couple of piggy banks for the short I'm working on, and Alexandra Roivas from Eternal Darkness). I also bought The Orange Box, and have now scratched my itch for the enigma that is/was Portal (replaced by an itch to play more Team Fortress 2).

catloaf has had 3 boys, but see... she hates men, so all their lil dorks were lopped off to make sweet lil baby girl catloafs.
i understand chix0r not wanting to do "the walk". personal achievement is a statement that doesn't require the neon yellow highlighter.
as for me, everything is right in my world. i've been in a relationship since early october to a college girl (no, not jr. college). we're in love and doing well. she'll be spending most if not all of her xmas break with me.
I notice I am conspicuously absent from the OP, but in case anyone wants to know, I have about five different at-home jobs with various levels of commitment (from none to every day) and continue to cook, clean, and take care of Harry T. Cat. I haven't spoken to either of my parents in months and it's rockin'.
not much. i can tell you about my roommate though. she's in a wheelchair [not always though] and she's 4'3, but she's really pretty. but anyway, she recently hooked up with a guy for the first time and it's very exciting over here. she's had such a huge crush on him, but he's in her improv group, so its slightly awkward and they're also good friends. but he's going abroad next semester [i say abroad, but he's actually just going to chicago]. plus, he's kind of a playa and he's just going to break her little heart. also, she gave him an hj and a bj.
mandee, have a big party. get lots of booze and a nitrous tank. video tape the chick in a wheel chair giving the sociopath oral. the ball pit would make a nice back drop. make sure mmmbop is playing in a continuous loop.
she doesn't bring the wheelchair in the house, so she was on the bed. she swallowed though. our house is full of fingering jokes these days. ps he fingered her.
no not at all. she just has brittle bones that break easily, so she can't walk that far. she's like macauley culkin in saved, but she can also walk short distances.
so in baja not far from surf spots like salsipuedes, fisheries have giant net rings to hold giant tunas theyv caught. a 20' great white managed to find a way in and was eating 200 pound tuna (worth $1,000 each) for a week.
so they sent a couple guys in to kill the shark- not sure how. 1st guy was eaten. 2nd guy was maimed. so then they got a couple navy seals to go in and kill the shark. i dont know how exactly, but they succeeded. hope i can get better details for later.

I would've posted the links to the stories from the major local news outlets and newspapers [Pioneer Press, I was above the fold, front page on the local section, and I made the Star Tribune, but I never saw that story] but they were all old & already archived.
I think what I did is I had it on my lap in the car and I forgot to put it back in my pocket so when my driver dropped me off, it just flew into the grass.
Either that or it fell out while I was wrestling with the 3 foot rebar that was frozen into the ground.
Sadly yes (hopefully I'll finally defend in a couple of months though).
On the upside, I'll be starting a new gig come January that's about as lax as being a grad student but pays about 4x as much.
Nah. I could, but I don't see the point.
This is probably one of the few things we can agree on. I've never been to any of mine, and the times that I have gone to other peoples, I've been uniformly unimpressed.

i'm proud of andrew.
you'll just get a slap on the wrist. good natured, (R), middle-upper class, white teens don't do time.
if the judge asks if you have anything to say, tell them you went to church, sought guidance and got right with god. reiterate how important god is, but avoid mentioning the harder stuff like "jesus", "blood", "cross" and "rapture". that's just weird, and could earn you a psychiatric evaluation.
at the conclusion, say, "go twins". that should do the trick.
oh yeah, i forgot. I'm more concerned with afernee being a father than being in jail. How dare you. No seriously though, I'd literally kill myself if I had to spend more than a year in jail. Literally.
And NO I DID NOT GET ANYONE PREGNANT. It's funny actually, I think I've matured a bit in the past few months, I'm not all about sex nor was I ever, sex is just too personal to be having with random chicks.
Cthulhu/Zoidberg-esque tentacle face Win.
That was me. I consider that news-worthy. haha, you WOULD get in trouble for something like that... hahah, nice man.
I didn't go to mine either. My masters program has a little mini-ceremony for just us where the dean who doesn't know who the hell we are reads something about us prepared by the staff. They usually serve a nice brunch at that so that might get me to go or if there's some way I can get an x-box out of it.
whatever man, maybe it's just me, but I think I'd prefer having the capability to get poon but having restraint and not jumping on every chance to have sex than having to resort to a street corner hooker like you did/do.
you may think it's gay, i like to call it having good morals.
Well, TECHNICALLY my dad turned me in, but I had no other choice, really. They had my phone with the list of the signs we were going to take in the datebook portion of the phone. Which I dropped. Those houses happened to have the really nasty letters [either version A. "Stop Fucking With Students' Futures, Love, the Class of '08 or Version B. A brilliant 5 paragraph persuasive essay Dark Green wrote saying why they should be voting for the levy and why they're dumbasses for not] and thus we were linked to them and the houses that had notes at them. Oh wells.

oh snap...i thought it was a boy.
Please accept my apology,
This week, Leonard goes in search of ABM's future boyfriend!
—John Lennon
did i tell you about this ugly guy who tried to hit on me in my class?
he's 25 but looks 45. He always wears high waisted, old fashioned suits, without a tie like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He asks the dumbest questions, offers to help me with statistics, and tells me about he's going to law school and how he won a stupid award. The other day i was walking around campus and he popped out of nowwhere and said "i've noticed that you eat lunch in your car"....WTF STALKER :(
why do ugly guys who do not get laid, attach themselves to me? WTF why can't my hot tutor be like that?
I'm glad my class is over and i switched majors so i won't see him again.
you need friends in your classes or you have to be really outgoing because these guys approach you because they think they are being really nice, so you have to prove that you don't need them to talk to you because you have other people to talk to.
I live in Atlanta but I love to live alone. Go the Craig's List and hookup with a guy that will let you live in his house for free if you blow him once a week.
why do ugly guys who do not get laid, attach themselves to me?
i suspect it's how you carry yourself. your non verbal cues give off this shy, timid, non confident vibe that tells these pusses to go ahead and approach you.
a puss won't ask out attractive, confident people because they know they'll be rejected. this is a super bad thing for them because they're always nursing their fragile ego.
you need to add confidence, a little sass to your looks, sweet pea. then losers will be more apt to avoid you.
i'm just saying that changing your hair color won't change your luck with the opposite sex.
it wouldn't hurt anything to shake things up a tad. go for it if you want, but don't expect people to relate to you differently because of something superficial.
well maybe people would think i'm white? The thing is most of the guys that i'm attracted to, usually date white girls.
the good thing is that this lil due on the right is an exchange student from the middle east, who happens to be friends with my tutor. I saw him in the computer lab the other day. Maybe i'll start talking to him, so i can get closer to my tutor. His ugly ass better not turn me down.
whatever man, maybe it's just me, but I think I'd prefer having the capability to get poon but having restraint and not jumping on every chance to have sex than having to resort to a street corner hooker like you did/do.
Sorry Drake, but the man makes an excellent point.
i like to call it having good morals
Don't think I'd go *quite* that far... more just a matter of having options and not being desperate.
This is my first semester, so i haven't made any lunch buddies yet.
Call me crazy, but it seems to me that eating in the cafeteria might be a way to meet lunch buddies.
Unless you get huge breast implants.
Yes. This would be an excellent way to get less unwanted attention from guys.

Ew, that fascist. My mom wants to bone him though. Same with Jim Cramer. PS My roommate's mom used to date Jim Cramer, but they broke up a few months ago.
Don't meet people just to meet people, get involved with something you're interested in and magically you meet people. At my current school I do some public service type stuff and i play on the basketball team. In the past I worked for the campus movie theater, library, or some other sports stuff. No shame in eating alone BTW.

well i've met a few people, but the thing is i'm not interested in being friends with them. They're all girls, and i'm sick of hanging out with girls. I need some hot white boys in my life.
