  • If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Well, technically it would be sort of on your neck, which isn't your face.

    I meant body hair in general (except head hair), sorry. I'll edit that in.

    And now you resemble me in that respect.


    welp


    I hope you like being trans

    I've wondered if my predilection towards feminine traits meant I should identify as trans, a while ago, actually. But I decided not to worry about it too much.

    I'm sure if you were trans, you'd know it.

    Pretty much.

    It's a spectrum, not a binary. And I think leaning towards having traits of both genders qualifies more as androgynous (though I'm still trying to wrap my head around the notion of gendered traits, which has its own set of discrimination-related problems).

    I don't get the concept of gendered traits, either.


    Although now that I think about it, I think my introspection came more from having traits that'd get me mistaken for gay, than identification with traits traditionally considered feminine. So it was a weird thought to entertain anyway. It was a while ago; maybe two years ago.

  • In my case, I'm introspective because I like to think about what led me to become the person I am now and where that will take me, which is a subset of my general curious, inquisitive nature. It has nothing to do with gender and I never made the connection even after people told me there was supposed to be one.

    By the way, Nova, I went without shaving for four months, a while ago, and you still couldn't even see my beard chin hair (though it didn't help that it was somehow much lighter than the rest of my hair). So you proooobably don't have to worry about me growing a neckbeard, even if I tried.

    You sound like my brother. He's seventeen and he still doesn't have to shave :(

    There was a guy in my class who in ninth grade shaved every morning, but still had very visible stubble by the end of the day.

    I only shave every four or so days, and that's just because I'm a nitpick. If I left it for another week, I doubt anyone would notice.


    ^^ Well, I wasn't quite that lucky. Wait, I think last year was when I started shaving, actually.

    My father had his first shave when he was 18. It doesn't mean anything, though, since by now he's got an extremely fast-growing stubble (it's visible only a couple of hours after shaving)

    Two of my friends are twins who both had a really amazing mustache at only 12 years old. Their facial hair still grows at an insane rate.
  • Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!

    I had a small mustache since 5th grade, but didn't start shaving since I was 13. Though it hasn't gotten quite so bad so I can't go without shaving for 2-3 days. Still I envy Everest for not having to deal with most of this crap.

    I had my first 'stache at 11-12, I think.


    Anyway, shaving is a mess and totally annoying. If I wanted to stay clean-shaven I'd have to do it every day, which I just can't bring myself to do. Instead I like experimenting with different styles of facial hair, trimming it down every weekend and going clean-shaven only a couple of times a year. I look better with facial hair, I think.

    Forty-five minutes in to my assignments.


    I've already done two and am on the last section of my third, which will finish up a complete unit. Three-eights of a forty hour unit done in forty-five minutes! And actually done in quality, christ.

    How many people that get 4.0 GPA's do so because they go to an institution in which A+ is worth 4.3? Honestly, if my university offered that, I'd have more reason to try for that grade rather than putting in minimal effort to get an A.

    I hate the way that one crossed wire, one wayward pinch in potassium chlorate, one errant twitch one suboptimal grade and your precious 4.0 is shattered.


    This especially applies in high school.  In college, on the other hand, pretty much nobody has straight A's, so that's a lot easier to deal with.

  • So just now I was able to successfully shut down my computer and then boot it back up.  I guess this is a good thing.  Hopefully it'll stay working now for... at least the rest of the week, ideally, since I need it for school.

    Also, IJBM: Fanart of humanized versions of Jewelpet characters seems to be fairly uncommon, unlike with My Little Pony.  Also also IJBM: Nobody told me that there is an anime where Aki Toyosaki plays an alpaca that is also a cop car.

    I'm tempted to say that on the other hand, no one gives a damn what you got in high school, but I don't know how American schools work.

  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human

    No one gives a damn what you got in high school except for the people who count, which include such select groups as:
    * college admissions committees
    * scholarship application evaluation committees (especially regarding the GPA, if not particular grades)
    * one's peers, if one is ranked at or near the top of one's class

  • edited 2012-04-28 22:35:28

    Yeah, the expected people, though my university was fairly lenient (80%+ for Engineering) in letting people in.


    It may vary by province, but I don't recall Canadian secondary schools having GPAs. And for some reason, I get the impression US schools are a lot harder on students than Canadian schools.

  • One foot in front of the other, every day.

    In Australia, at least, your final score for high school actually stops mattering two years after graduation. From then on, you're considered a "mature age student" and a different set of parameters apply. 

  • So I played airsoft in the woods by my house today.

  • One foot in front of the other, every day.

    Air... soft? Is that some form of sword training with padded or inflated weapons? How sturdy was the ground? You might want to try fighting flat-footed rather than on the balls of your feet on difficult terrain.
