Pft, whatever. Anyone who wants to can come over for some sushi to celebrate my birthday. The day gives me an excuse to get family and friends together to eat and drink to my name!

Exactly. My parents are visiting next weekend, and can't wait to see them. Means I have to do a little extra cleaning around the house, but I'm more than happy to give the guest room a shine.

Speaking of birthdays, saw a really cute clip on AFV of a kid who tells his Mother "Mom! Hey Mom! I was looking at the calendar, and um...did you know that I was born on my Birthday?".

...that feeling when you're playing a game, fighting a boss, and then game over in a really stupid way, like accidentally jumping into a pit or something.

ooooh I hate that

Back on cars, do you guys have to really fix up stuff if you go into Carmax or whatever? I've got body damage, all kinds of lights on, etc... but like I was saying earlier I'm just tired of patching this thing up and want to get rid of it. It's bad enough that I think I'd feel pretty guilty if I sold it to a friend, because of the constant radiator issues and whatnot (think the body damage permanently messed that up).

If I can just drive it up to Carmax and still get an estimate I might do that soon.

Cars?!

I've got a cold air intake coming today or Monday for my MazdaSpeed3. Turns out Mazda designed one but never put it in the car (for obvious reasons). Should bump up the horsepower by about 25-30. It's not really needed (has 300 stock), and I'm a bit apprehensive about using it in the winter, but I'm still excited.

I want a new haircut, but I'm not sure what to do. I want my hair longer, say, a medium length? I'd even be okay with it getting "John Marston" long. My only problem, is that my hair gets curly when it gets long. It stays straight for about 2 and 1/2 to 4 inches, depending on the area, and then either curls outward, or, in the case of my hair in the back, make ringlets AND curl out. I just can't figure anything out. I will admit, I can get a bit girly looking with my hair cut the wrong way, but I am open to any suggestions. I just don't know what to do.

If they'd let me grow a beard at school, I could do so much more.

Luke, you would be great on the subreddit /r/shittyadvice.

I like ham, but I am constantly disappointed by ham sandwiches.

Back on cars, do you guys have to really fix up stuff if you go into Carmax or whatever?

A car that isn't running great is a hard sell. Cleaning the inside and outside can help. That said, major work on a car before selling it is usually a losing proposition. Just as an example, spending $300 on new tires would probably only raise the amount you could get for the car by half that at most.

Yeah I guess I'm not expecting much out of it. Has tons of new parts, tires, etc, but it's just still running like crap no matter what I do. I think it needs either an EGR valve or Idle Air Control now too when I got the CEL checked out. That and the new radiator seems worthless again, lol.
