I felt exactly like you did when I was 17. And my best friend had started hitting the pot pretty hard, after being opposed to it previously. He still does it today, 8 years later, and honestly, I like him better when he's high. Since then, I've picked up some social drinking, and I will smoke...

With the release of Rift, many players are amazed at the gameplay, graphics, and similar easy to use interface(virtually the same as WoWs). Many that I have spoken to say that it trumps WoW in every way, being avid WoW players themselves. Do you think this is the beginning of the end for the...

I majored in English with a focus in technical writing, and minored in business (because I look good in a suit). If you're an english major, don't limit yourself to teaching. I've worked as a Business Technical Writer, translating engineers scribblings into something readable by normal people.

I will play something else for about a year, then start over. I will get a tad upset, but just enought to throw my head back and groan, then whine until my girlfriend feels bad for me and gets me some ice cream.

If it looks good and feels good, wear it. I don't even think anybody would jump to the conclusion that you're a lesbian for wearing a man's shirt anyway. That's usually characterized (where I live) by a man's haircut and a chest that's duct taped flat. And an aura that says "I hate men, and...

I did some looking into Guild Wars, and I think I'm gonna give that a shot and see what happens. Thanks everyone for your advice

I'd like to clarify on the Job issue, I am of course actively searching, but these things take time to get results. I also have a fairly decent financial cushion for this type of situation, so a monthly fee will be cheaper than the money I tend to spend when I'm bored and idle.

I played World of Warcraft for about 2 years, right after it came out, and then for another year sometime after I stopped the first time. I kept stopping because I couldn't commit the time to it I should have, the players were being twats, and it just got kind of boring. Now I just lost my...

Anger is like duct tape. It's a quick fix, but it won't hold up. In this case, anger is good for a nice burst of strength or motivation, but it subsides relatively quickly, and with it goes your motivation if that was all that was driving you. If for some reason you are permanently angry...

"Pizza Man" by Ellegarden. It's about a guy waiting for his pizza to arrive, and checking if he's in the wrong condo, theorizing that his delivery guy is trying to use his pizza to learn about fractions. The singer is a Japanese Californian, but the grammar and lyrics aren't TOO shabby, and...

Oh man, I don't think anybody has mentioned Saiyuki! That ones awesome. The original, not the crappy filler junk they put afterwards.

I can say whole-heartedly that I agree with just about everything that everyone has recommended- Now after watching a nice amount of serious anime, and if you're comfortable with subtitles, I have to recommend Gintama. It is a funny, funny, hilarious, comedy, with great characters, that...

I like skinny jeans. Not on myself, of course. A few months ago some guy who thought he was a rapper and happened to be wearing skinny jeans picked a fight with me in a bar....I couldn't even bring myself to hit him, I was laughing to hard. They saved me some unwanted jail time. Not to say...

I'm astounded by the amount of horrific negatives in this thread- I'd like to say I'm shocked that very few people followed the original guidelines in answering it, but frankly I'm not. The question, Is it gross, and if so, WHY? I think I can comment here. Gross is probably not the term I...

I don't think "seriously" is the proper word for how to interpret Yahtzee... Does his critique of games usually hit the mark? I believe so. You'll notice if you pay attention very carefully that if a game does have a good aspect, he will briefly mention it, and coming from him, that's a huge...
