Happy Birthday!

I wish college were going better this semester. It has been an absolute disaster this time around.

Ellipses.

I'll be updating my journal soon to let you know how my life is going.

I wish that I had time to read The Mole People. One of my profs for next semester has already e-mailed an assignment for the first day of class. You know, the first day, when you get a syllabus, maybe have a few ice-breakers and go home? Yikes!

I'm really looking forward to the next Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It will be out in mid-July and people are already pre-ordering.

My first college roommate had a biological odor problem. He would shower, but he still stank. The best thing to do is to clean your room regularly and use air fresheners, like plug in ones and Lysol. You literally could smell him all the way down the hall.

My hometown is pretty small and boring, too. Luckily, though, it is close to Chicago!

My journal is updated for your perusal.

Happy New Year!

Is Siara's name gray on your friends list?

Grey = Siara should renew her SG membership, but hasn't yet.

Good luck with your school work. I'm sure that you'll do just fine.

Is it just me or has the past few months gone by way too quick?

Congratulations on the History midterm!

Good luck on the report writing!

You need to find some more friends here. I'm lookin' pretty lonely up there.

Raoul_Duke decided to fade to black.

You'll probably drink again. . .you'll just be more careful next time.

I'm glad you followed my advice.

I left you some advice where you posted your journal entry.

Yeah that stuff was pretty extreme but at least he was honest. Dude feel better, that sucks. I always take a shot or 2 of tequila everytime I get sick, it seems to help. Seriously.

I found that thread very entertaining...the format was an obvious copy and paste job so I only expected to see an onslaught of corrections. I will always be surprised that many "conservatives" will support someone who takes the Bush side, no matter how ridiculous the idea might be. In this case it was very ridiculous but kind of funny.

Considering the way that Bush has trashed our country, I am surprised that he is doing so well in the polls. Luckily, these polls usually only indicate "likely voters," i.e. people who have voted before. I have a feeling that these massive voter registration drives are going to kick Bush in the ass. A ten-point spread on election night would be nice.

The Osama Bin Laden "October Surprise" rumor has been bantied about for quite some time now. I hear that it is unlikely that Bush would be able to hide such a thing from the press, but considering all of the detainees in Gitmo, I wouldn't be surprised. Let's hope that Bin Laden is caught on the day after Election Day. . .after Bush loses. . .hopefully in short order. . .so we won't have the Supreme Court "select" him again.

Our forces are spread pretty thin. I doubt that he could start another war without resolving the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. There were efforts to scale back our military because the idea of a two-front war was unimaginable, since the Cold War has ended (despite many loose nukes). Now that we have a two-front war, we can't even help those suffering in Sudan or deal with North Korea or Iran (although Iran is the next step in the neocons agenda). Withholding any other current events, Iran is the next target. If America does not attack Iran, Israel will with our backing.

I do not know of the "Nakie" thread of which you speak. It must be a few pages back on the Current Events board. I didn't see it on the main page. What happened?

Yeah, I may diet and exercise religiously, but do I attend all of my classes? My life is not a cakewalk.
