    And then you pass it and realize how much better it was than real life.

    I miss high school.

    So do I! High School in he 80's.... Asymmetrical New Wave hair-dids. Teen clubs with juice bars. Jamming out to the B52's when they were still good and not mainstream. Yeah, those were the days.

    Who?

    ;)

    We had our CD Players and I was typically listening to some form of industrial rock or metal. Lots of Rammstein, Static-X, System of a Down, etc.

    I guess this was only about 6 years ago though. :D

    Forgive the not knowing, but what is the CSR?

    Comprehensive Spending Review.

    A farcical exercise, which culminated in the Chancellor of the Exchequer today announcing massive spending cuts which will cripple the economy, result in nearly half a million job losses, and basically destroy the life chances of generations to come.

    Sometimes I really do wish things were that simple.
    Then I probably wouldn't be independant party.
    I'd be 'Good' party against the 'Evil' party.

    How about the fact that those at the bottom of society are royally ****ed. I was so tempted to post something on my blog about this being the day record unemployment for a decade was guaranteed, but it's not worth it considering we're stuck with it now.

    We really are stuck in it now. Thank you, Great British public for being total ****ing idiots.

    Damn Osborne.

    Also, I think I'm being proven right about something I didn't want to be proven right about. Bleurgh.

    Petty complaint, but I just have to say that it really freakin irritates me when I write something in front of a random person, and they're like "oh, you're a southpaw?" and start talking to me about how weird it is that I'm left-handed. I guess it's one thing if the person knows me (even then, I would never feel the need to remark on a person's handed-ness, but whatev), but I have far better things to do than discuss the fact that I write with my left hand with customers, cashiers at the grocery store, etc. Is someone being left-handed really that big of a deal?

    God, I'm cranky...

    The trick, I've found, when they ask if I actually am left-handed, I just answer 'no.' And keep writing with my left hand.

    I've been single my entire life, and I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm just a fail person...
    I don't want to settle, but at the same time I don't want to be in the line of suitors looking to score with the girl who lets her appearance go to her head and turns guys away like objects.

    Oh, people need to grow up. What difference does it make to them? Not too petty of a complaint, if you ask me :).

    Ha ha. Very, very smaarrt. :)

    Ditto!

    Sounds more like you are independent and discerning--don't see that as a fail. I don't really think that 'for every Jack there is a Jill', it's more like, 'must have someone, better than having no one' for most people...

    Sadly for the girl its probably more like.

    "FFS. I look good but, plx plx stop hitting at me all the time all of you people. I want to interact with you in a normal way like a normal person, not be hit on or ogled or anything like thatall the ****ing time by half of the population. Treat me as a normal person! GAH! I need to be brutally clear with you and at time bitchy, because half of you are idiots that either wont notice or not care if I send subtle signals that I'm not interested. Trust me. I tried being polite and subtle about it."

    madhoca- thanks.
    w176- I think I know what you're talking about. They keep up their appearance to bait the guys they do want, and often they just pull in the wrong guys. And what to do then but hope the situation resolves itself, because they're decent enough people and try not to intentionally hurt the people around them.
    It seems like you have to be one of those suitors just to get anywhere with a halfway decent girl though, because they're so busy turning people away that they won't notice you if you don't play their game. Just once, I'd like to not have to put my heart on the line for a girl... for a girl I'm interested to fight a little to keep me in her life. It seems like I'm always on the go, and I'm never in one place long enough to get a girl interested. And I'm nice... I'm handsome, I treat people better than I treat myself, and I've got a lot going for me. The problem is that I'm not a bodybuilder, not willing to fake a face to get with a girl, not willing to play the sorts of games that people my age play with each other... and because I'm what girls call a cute guy rather than a "hot" guy, I get marked as a friend automatically.
    Why are all the girls I'm interested in either completely wrong for me, turned on by complete a-holes, or already in relationships?
    Therein lies my frustration.

    There have been far more left handed presidents of the United States than right. Reagan was a natural left-hander), that will be 5 out of the last 7 (71%) when only about 10% of the population are left-handed - Go Lefties!

    Ans: No I'm not----and never have been---((A President))-gotcha!
    Thought I meant left handed--well you're right there too!.

    You could say that 6 of the last seven were "White"!--See how meaningless simple Stats sometimes are?!.

    Girls sometimes fall for assholes, because they mistake their arrogance for confidence and their lack of having anything to say for being mysterious. A lot of girls also like men who are hard to get (not too much).

    What do you mean, they're completely wrong for u? Maybe you're just the picky one!
