No idea. Haven't been to a doctor in years. Too lazy to schedule an appointment. But I'm not that bad. I just don't eat vegetables because they taste awful. Or drink water, for that matter.

Smile - got myself a Game Boy Pocket for 5 bucks.

Ticked - couldn't upload the pic on here in the "Look what I found" forum earlier this afternoon, not sure if the uploader is acting up but I may try again soon.

(#%@# ticked) - I took my car in last Friday for an oil change. Also got my transmission changed as well. I was told that the brake pads on my car were between 2 and 4 cm and that they should be replaced in the near future. I didn't get them replaced then because I really just had enough money for the oil change and transmission, plus I figured, "eh, it'll happen in a month or two, and then I'll get them fixed". Today, I get this LOVELY scraping metal on metal sound when I put my car in reverse, and when I put it in drive for the first maybe 5-8 minutes of driving. You know what that means? My brakes need fixing, again.

Great. Another plunking down of money I don't have enough of just to keep my 2006 Honda Civic from sounding like a dentist's drill when it moves.

Well that sucks, but think about it this way. Having your car stop is more important than having it go as far as your and everyone else's safety. Brake pads will generally start squealing when they are worn thin. That actually happens on purpose. Grinding is bad though. But maybe just look that something hasn't gotten lodged between your brake caliper and the disc. I had a leaf blow in and sit just in the right spot that it was making a scraping noise when I went somewhere one day.

:x : Hurricane Isaac knocked out my internet (Missouri often gets the leftovers of gulf coast hurricanes in the form of heavy thunderstorms), so I'm sitting at the library using their wired connection. It sucks using a nasty worn keyboard and a nasty worn mouse after waiting half an hour for some stupid younger teens who are inexplicably not in school at 10:30 AM on a Friday to finish photoshopping pictures of themselves for Facebook so that I can get online and see if I need to ship anything I'm selling on Ebay or Racketboy. I had to drive through a downpour, hydroplaning multiple times and after I parked I had to walk down the sidewalk and across the street because all the free spaces next to the library were already occupied. And for this effort I'm rewarded by waiting around while some dumb kid edits a picture of himself so that it looks like the top of his head is missing and his brain is exposed, which he thought was absolutely hilarious but it's just stupid?

tl;dr: stupid teens using public PC's when I want to, run-on sentences.

The moral I should take from this is that I need to bite the bullet and buy myself a netbook for casual on-the-go browsing. It's getting less and less feasible to be a desktop-only person these days. Also, hurricanes suck even if you live more than a day's drive from the ocean.

DON'T SAY THAT!!!!! Already found out I have to beat the whole damn final part in one sitting (so that means having to clear that first part out all over again), and then doing that stupid part where he swings on the posts again.

As long as the final battle is not Mega Man 7 hard, then I'm good. Beat that with 1 life unit left last week.
I was saying hard as in not being compared to anything. When you stack it up against other MM final bosses, he may be harder than the weak ones (MM1/MM2), but it's significatnly easier than the hard ones (5-7).

I think you'll like the Wii Edition of Resident Evil 4, especially if you like light-gun games. It's quite a different RE experience from the other entries in the series.

Yeah, I'm excited to try it. I'm going to try to get through 3 first, but it's slow-going so far.

Good exercise. I purposely park far away at most lots to get the exercise and to better protect my car from others.
