[QUOTE=cpt.armadillo;44024498]I don't understand how you can write more than three pages on anything except a story or regurgitating facts.[/QUOTE] Critical thought on real topics can do that real easily. I write a 2-3 page paper pretty much every week if not more often, so its practically busywork by now.
2-3 pages is usually how almost all of my proper papers come out, but i've never been assigned a "2-3 page paper", which makes such a thing extremely frustrating. [editline]23rd February 2014[/editline] pretty much every teacher at this school does it by pages then they yell at us for being shallow and superficial if 2 of the pages are fluff.
2-3 pages is fairly easy, but I don't think I've ever had a paper be longer than 4 pages that didn't have a page requirement. In other news, here's a really nice song I just heard on the radio. [video=youtube;SMvyQkwUkWo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMvyQkwUkWo[/video]
[QUOTE=felix the cat;44024545]I hate papers with page requirements. I don't see why I should be required to keep writing if I can articulate my point in less pages[/QUOTE] It just makes me feel like I'm regurgitating the same things over and over again half the time. [editline]23rd February 2014[/editline] I'm going to be 20 in a couple weeks and my mom still controls my money. I told her I want to build a proper gaming PC instead of buying a PS4 and she literally said "no you can't do that until you finish university" Because apparently that extra $300 or so to build a half decent gaming rig over buying a PS4 is going to totally fuck me over when I've just barely had to dip into my savings to pay for university as student loans have covered most of the cost. RIP ever buying airsoft stuff either I guess.
[QUOTE=cpt.armadillo;44024498]I don't understand how you can write more than three pages on anything except a story or regurgitating facts.[/QUOTE] I wrote 12 pages on the 20th century military development of China and could have done far more. I did close to 20 pages on a method for exploiting EVE Online to send secret communications. You just need to find a subject complex enough to be able to talk about, and provide enough analysis to go into depth on it.
I once got assigned a 3 page paper and wrote 1 3/4 pages of content and increased the size of the periods to make the paper longer. I'm so lazy.
I guess I don't get assigned stuff I can write a lot about.
2 days old but [t]http://i.imgur.com/YQzu11e.png[/t] You too Garry, you too.
Last year I had to write a topic about the American dream and those who have achieved it and those who had damned pursuing it. We had to pick one person person for each. I picked Alan B Shepard and Gus Grissom. Suppose to be 12-16 pages. Got so carried away with it that once finished I realized it was three pages longer than allowed. Eliminating three pages of material was more difficult than actually writing the paper. Nothing I love more than getting an assignment that allows me to pick something I am passionate about.
Noooooooooooooooooooo. My dad is working with a French company, and he'd had some business trip scheduled, but it was delayed and relocated, so instead of going to wherever, the trip was relocated instead to Paris. If it hadn't been delayed to a new location I'd probably have been able to pay for my own ticket and come with him, because he'd have left as soon as my useless break started. Aaaaaaaaaaa that would have been so cool, I'd have been able to just be able to chill out around Paris for an entire week on my own during the day while my dad worked. Can't think of a better way to immerse myself in a language. 2bad traveling is crazy expensive :(
[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;44020268]Also makes the most sense because I do not understand at all how a guy can just go up to a random girl and ask her out on a date out of the blue unless he's extremely attractive. Speaking of girls, I really want to ask the girl I like if she wants to hang out outside of class some time but I have no idea what to ask her to do.[/QUOTE] God damn. You need confidence to ask a girl out, you don't have to be the most attractive person ever to ask someone out. Girls don't really care about that, and if they do then they are vain as fuck and not the type of girl you want to be with anyway. What you need is confidence, the ability to make a girl laugh and keep a conversation flowing. Do not go and ask a girl out straight away, it almost never works if you lack those 3 things. A girl isn't going to say yes to your date if you are all "uhm...hi... do you want to...*sniff* go on a ..date with me?" Also don't go for the 'date' straight away, you need to get to know her, ask her to hang out, try going for lunch or a coffee or anything that allows you to talk. If you do go for a lunch/coffee or even hang out. [B]MAKE SURE YOU CAN HOLD A CONVERSATION[/B]. You must've seen those awkward date scenarios where there is no talking and its silent and awkward as fuck, that will be you. Movies are a shit idea because you cant talk, its awkward as fuck sitting next to someone that you don't really know and it will end horribly. if the girl is in the same class as you or study group or what ever the fuck you guys have over the pond, use that to start a conversation but don't actually talk about school/school work. No one likes talking about that shit. Ask her about her weekend or what she's doing after class (if she asks you about yours then LIE, don't say you sit at home crying in the dark jerking off to anime because you're lonely. Make it up, say that you go out on weekends with friends) , if she's got a bag that has a band/movie related to it then talk about that, even if you don't like the movie/band - its a conversation starter. "oh you like Beyoncé, that's cool, I've heard a few of her songs, I quite like Slayer" Act like youre interested in what she likes even if you hate it. Try not to jump right into nerdy shit straight away, if she's a normal girl it might scare her off. Fuck it, talk about hair products before you talk about PS4/PC/Games etc. Also if you've spoken to a friend about her and he's said something like "oh she likes daft punk" don't go up to her and say "hey, Dave said that you like daft punk, me too" that's creepy as shit and she will think you're a freak for asking people about her. If you manage to avoid all these things and get a conversation going, try and be funny but don't try too hard. Get her to laugh and smile. Basically the first few girls you speak to, you're going to fail with. you're not going to get a date with her, she's not going to fall in love with you, you will not marry her, you will not pass go and you will not collect $200. You need to build your confidence a lot, try your hardest to think and act like your confident. Imagine you could climb a mountain or kill a lion or some shit. If you think you're confident, you'll act confident and then you'll be confident. Don't let your looks get you down either, i'm not the best looking guy ever but because i'm confident and funny, a bit of a dick and can act like I give a shit what the girl is saying I can easily get a girls number. You need to walk before you can run. Also, if there is a girl you want to know and date because she's perfect for you (she's hot, likes vidya geams, movies/music/same shit as you) then talk to her last. You need to practice first, because you don't want to fail with her. There's probably some other [sp]shitty[/sp] advice I can give but im busy in work and I just had to type this twice because facepunch timed out.

okay rich white kid blabber in 3 2 1: we have cleaners come to our house twice a month, because nobody around here wants to vacuum or dust things, and we pay them a fair amount blah blah blah it's pretty normal for where we live. today, i guess my two sets of headphones were chilling out on my chair or something so they thought a great place to put them would be the trashcan, still plugged into the computer. ???????????

We have cleaners, maids whatever you want to call them that come in once a month here too and I know all of them on a first name basis
You shouldn't have to tell them that kind of thing. If they're so incompetent that they think headphones (with a computer attached) are trash, then they need to be fired.
yeah i don't even have the energy to bother so I've just told my mom i'll do my own cleaning for my parts of the house.

Hope this one works [editline]24th February 2014[/editline] speaking of asking about stuff like this im stressed as FUCK. Proms coming up and my mother is making me (WTF) go with a her best friends' daughter if I don't have another date. I may be an awful person but I really really really do not want to go with her so I have to figure something out within the next few weeks
ask a cute nerdy shy girl thats what i did
yeah find a cute shy girl thats how i got with my girl friend tbh, i was just like "i wanna go to prom wanna go" then we made out and it was cool
[QUOTE=paindoc;44036801]good speech. like several others that have been given. Hope this one works [/QUOTE] I actually read it and took it seriously so there's hope for me yet. Although it doesn't totally apply to my situation right now as the girl I like is someone I've actually talked to before and am comfortable talking to for once, I just haven't really hung out with her outside of class that much and I don't really know how to approach the issue of wanting to spend more time with her/possibly dating her depending on how things go.
Give the bitch some honesty Bitches love honesty No but seriously. Just be honest with her. Don't be a creeper about it, though. Tell her you'd like to spend some time with her beyond just class-time and see if there's anything she'd like to do that you two could enjoy together.
idk, some girl totally brought up a month ago the topic of prom (out of [I]nowhere[/I])and looking for a date for it and totally being willing to go with any guy. at a table full of girls. with me being the only dude. while looking at me. and I sit next to her this semester. We get along quite well and I think she enjoys being around me as well, but I feel its a bit weird to ask her to prom seeing as how I literally only see her in that one class and don't have her number or anything.
Stopped taking my medicine. It made me completely emotionless and apathetic, almost costing me the love of my life, and causing me to be completely on the edge of blowing my brains out with my .22. Second day without it, and i already can feel again. My love for Lauren is reignited, I've been happy all day, and I just wept for quite a while because she said goodnight. Its good to feel. Another negative side effect of the medicine was that because i couldn't feel, I smoked weed every single night because i wanted to have some semblance of an emotion. It worked, but that is not what i want for myself. Its not something that should be part of a daily routine, and i shouldn't need illegal drugs to have emotions. I've gone through probably 3/4 in the past two months, whereas 1/8 couldve lasted that long a year ago. I'm on the uphill now though, after what has possibly been the lowest point in my life thus far. I'm ready to get my life back on track.

Anybody got recommendations for fantasyish adventure/quest kinds of movies? I enjoyed LotR a lot, and am in that kind of mood, but don't wanna rewatch.
