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.

Sounds like strep throat. Are your friends getting sick, too?

Get well soon!

Yep, strep sucks...and that's what it sounds like. Don't look too hard for logic coming from certain members on the CE board.

At least you are not both quite ill AND depressed! Consider yourself fortunate.

It could be worse. You could have a poor relationship with your father and never speak with him.

What constitutes an "entertaining conversation"?

Does the Dean of Students got you down? It sounds like a liability issue to me. Just create a private website to channel your parties, or an e-mail list.

It sounds like you could benefit from a new group of friends. Partiers don't tend to discuss such things. You might have better luck finding friends like that in the library.

Your school must be getting a lot of flack about drinking on or near campus. Have too many students died from alcohol poisoning there?

You can always hitch a ride to the party next door. That way, you don't have to drink and drive. Or, just spend the night with a friend over there and drive home the next day when your blood-alcohol content is legal. Or, you could just sleep in the back of your car.

Here at my college, we are close to Canada (Windsor), so busses come to pick up the under-age students to go drink in Canada, where the drinking age, I believe, is less than 21 (18 or 19). It is perfectly legal, I guess.

If you would like a free Gmail account (Google e-mail), be one of the first five of my friends to visit my journal and say so. I have five invites to spare.
