Class of 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Yeah, nasty weather. I thought about extending some kind of invite when you got the second look email but I figured it would be a quick visit and didn't want to obligate you to extend it (read: "I didn't want to seem creepy").

How was the second look? Are they pretty high on your list?

It was good. Got more details about the curriculum. I like the systems-based block scheduling and the strong involvement with community service projects.

The Chicago schools I applied to have always ranked high on my list, mostly 'cause of location. I just need to do my due diligence and make sure I know what I'm getting into.
 
If you'd asked me before I checked, I would have guessed 30 posts max in here.

😱 Cliff. Very impressive.
and on that note, i'm on the way out for a brotastic weekend involving the new york mets.

Scholarship rejection.

Credit card stolen (yet somehow is still in my wallet....) and $1200 charged to it. It is my debit card so my accounts now need to be closed and moved.

Not packed. Getting on a plane in 3 hours.

Sending you good vibes! 😍

Damn! So sorry! Will they take the charges off or no? I'm not sure how that works with debit cards :/ Don't forget to swap your automatic debits!

I hope things get better. :biglove: There is no hug smiley :wtf:

oh man I'm so sorry to hear about all of that! I hope you can resolve everything, although I think with debit cards, a lot of the same liability rules still apply!

Good luck with packing and everything! 🙁

🙁 We still love you. That's worth more than $1200... at least $2000, I'd say.

From another thread:

Oh, and Geekchick, you totally would LARP wouldn't you?

That suuuucks, Cougs. Sory that happened to you. Just out of curiousity, where did the beotch criminal spend your money?
 
Just to be clear... everyone's seen the Honey Badger video right? I saw it like a month ago and it's hilarious.

NSFW for language: Honey Badger don't give a ****.
I hadn't seen it before, but I'm so glad I did now :laugh:.

Edit: this is a quote from the youtube comments:
"I can relate. I find myself not giving a **** on numerous occasions. The honey badger is my spirit animal." LOL

OMG, I was totally going to post this in this thread last month.

The first time I watched it, it wasn't that funny. The second time I watched it, it was hilarious. Listen for:

"FYI........It's been stuuuuuuuung.......it's been biiiiitten by the snaaaaaaaaaaake."

damn cougs, that's a burn...sorry :/

the card shouldn't be a prob, just a hassle lol....and have a good timeeeeeeeee



on a positive note, the weather's starting to get really warm here. I like it
 
I heard a discussion on the radio about what names are believed to have the highest number of sexual partners in a lifetime. Apparently, guys first names that end in "s," Matt, and Luke average twice the number of partners of most men (~11 parners for these guys). Sorry, if your name is Edward, Dylan, Jason, Frank, or Grant... you guys get the least play.

For the ladies, girls first names that and in "a" are the most promiscuous (on average). Also, on the radio they said girls names that end in "y" are least promiscous on average (there are other names listed in the article as well).

Cougs, I see you merging threads. Get your @ss in here.

Also, has anyone gchatted with Torr? She's kind of evasive :laugh:

I have to agree with the article. All the girls I know whose names end in "a" are complete tramps.

100th post in this thread :highfive:
 
Thanks Maubs! "I will".

Also, be on the look out for more members to assemble our crew. We need a Beast (the intellectual), Gambit (cause I need a love interest) and another girl maybe a Storm? She's pretty bad ass. I think we might have a Nightcrawler but not sure....Trogdor I believe?

Plus...speak for yourself Mr. "I'm super chat evasive"!🙂

I sat there for hours yesterday to no avail. Grrr.

Also, Cougs, I'd share my credit card with you while you get this whole thing resolved, but something tells me you have a soft spot/weakness/consumerism guilty pleasure.

I don't think it's shoes. What is it? Pedicures? Books? Bling Bling?

Hah that's so funny you say that with no clue as to what it might be...what makes you think that?🙂
 
Intuition and odds (almost everyone has some weakness). For women, the odds increase with sass.

Where it gets tricky is whether or not it's something you would buy for yourself. Like some girls go nuts about getting flowers, but wouldn't typically send some to themselves.

Gambit was my favorite as a little kid! I hated how they turned him into a snotty kid with blonde hair and blue eyes in the movie. totally wrong and I felt very personally and nerd-ily affronted

Can you picture me stomping my foot and geeking out about a wrong detail that no one else noticed in Star Trek or Lord of the Rings or something? That's pretty much how it went down

Yes I can. I did the same thing for Rogue. I didn't like the casting at all 🙁.

Yes, she was SUCH a whiny pants! Thank you. I don't know what they were thinking. Maybe I'm just bitter cause I always wanted to be Rogue as a kid 🙁.

lol, yeah I think GeekChick posted it in here the other day. So I figured it would be nice to drop that in. 🙂

Ok Cougs, I'll go first.

I don't really have any guilty pleasures on which I chronically spend money (except pretty much my entire grocery list; I only buy foods that I like).

My consumerism hits me with large, one-time purchases. Like, my junior year of college, when I was broke as heck I spent $1300 on a sweet road bike.

When I finally decided to get a smart phone, after holding out forever, $199 for a blackberry storm (which sucked bizzalls compared to the droid incredible I have now), plus the data plan :scared: Had some buyer's remorse after signing that contract.

I was pretty convinced I would never own a flat screen TV, because I don't watch much television at all. But I do love my movies. About a year-and-a-half ago I was out and about and saw a sweet 50 inch plasma for $700. SOLD.

I had a phase shortly after graduating college where buying decent clothes was a guilty pleasure. Didn't last long but all told probably cost be about $800 over the course of a year. Three Banana Republic suits, a bunch of dress-shirts and ties, cufflinks, a wool coat. I was young and foolish.

In college once I had a one-month run on cheap DVD's once...very guilty pleasure and now I own some terrible movies.

I'm pretty frugal most of the time, which makes it hard to pass up a good deal even if it's something I don't need at all. I also think that being cheap most of the time sort of wells up inside me and comes out in impulsive, yet cathartic spending sprees and large purchases.


What were we saying about tablet PCs? :meanie:
 
so close, yet so far. She definitely has a shoe thing. She once showed me a picture of like hundreds of shoes and then surprised me by saying "These are just the ones I'm giving away!"

Scuba Steve, DAM YOU! The "give away" part is hilarious though.

My first guess was "I don't think it's shoes."

Sigh.

Me too. Never a road bike though. Mainly electronics, or an occasional trip.

My big splurges have mainly been on gifts to other people. I have a fear of looking like a cheap ass so I over compensate. Everything else goes towards gas. I dream of one day having a fuel efficient car.

My sister has an out of control shoe collection. Never been much of a shopper myself though.

I was going to say "gifts" as well. I love giving gifts.

Gas is over $4/gallon here now. I'm looking into how to not use a car for any trip less than 10 miles, unless I need to haul something. Summer will be easy, next winter not so much.
 
I love giving gifts.

I'm PMing you my Bday date and an address to send my gift(s) to.


Is it bad that I'm dying to turn this thing into a ringtone? 🙄

Thread is too quiet. Darn 2015ers with their healthy social lives.
 
I'm too tired to post, but lurking.

How was everyone's weekend?

Hey Longshanks!

Decent weekend. Gardening and visiting family. Also a lot of that thing people do where you put on a workout DVD and try it for like 10 minutes but then before you know it you're sitting down on the couch just watching it and drinking coffee. Lots of that.

How's yours goin?
