Truth.

I spent much more time playing video games then studying back then. :mrgreen:

Really though, if there's one thing I miss about those days, its that I had a lot more time on my hands.

Now, when I do have free time, I usually feel a bit guilty if I devote it to games. :roll:

I was gonna come home and go for a jog. As it stands now I'm sitting at the computer, drinking coffee and eating donuts. Yay.

I was chatting with an old French-Canadian woman and asked about her son. She mentioned that he's in the Boston area for college. So I asked "Which school is he going to?" She said, "He's not going to school, he's going to a University". I had to spend a few minutes explaining that in English, school is commonly used to mean college/university or whatever. I mean, she thought I was insulting her because I didn't say university. :roll:

I'm taking drawing as an extra, non-required elective, plus I'm doing a dual-credit course with a college. The added transit time will take up space that could be used for homework. Plus I made the mistake of continuing on to Chemistry II, which I'm thinking is probably going to be really tough. Oh well, at least it's my last year in high school.
Strange, I'm taking Chemestry II my senior year as well. It starts in a few days too :|

If Nintendo wanted to move some 3DS units, they'd come out with a special Ocarina of Time version. I have the money I would need for a 3DS right now, and I don't know if I'd be able to resist that.

Yeah, I've seen some of those. Nintendo wouldn't even have to pay someone to design it, they could just ask to use of those designs. Why don't they, I wonder?

There's a LOT of legal issues with using fan-made stuff actually iirc.

Nothing wrong with it. Just makes me feel old.
As far as I know, only a small handful of regulars are under 20.

Off the top of my head, I can only think of boringsupreez, ryantheslaya, and lisalover1.

Aren't the majority of us between 20-35?
I'm 19, actually. In college, at least! :P
