If the site's still around 25 years from now...I'll probably still be an active member, unless something causes me to leave.

Being 16 is fairly good for me right now, although this year went really quickly and now I'm realising I have to start acting more responsibly soon, which sucks. Also, the next two years of school actually matter.

I would too. I agree to a previous statement of yours, Henry. If I could go back in time I would beat myself senseless.

Because being 16 really sucked, but I would still probably do it again if I could to prevent my current failure. But at least you're here, I was posting on Bungie.net at the time.

Yeah, I'm starting to think private schools being soooo much better is overrated too, at least in the US. If you care you can get AP stuff, which is challenging for anybody. It would suck to have five hours of homework, but maybe if I had to actually do work in high school I wouldn't be a f**king failure right now.
Man, thinking about being 16 makes me really sad. :( |
I was listening to Incubus a few days back and was getting pretty nostalgic for middle school. I was at least in a band and was a bit popular, in a tangential way. I would do over high school so much, if I could.

How come I get tired at around 1 AM? I should be getting more sleep, really, but I can never force myself to do so. Four more classes and two exams from now I can sleep all I want, but then I'll just stay up late, so that the sleep I recover is wasted, and thus the cycle continues.

HOLY CRAP, you're Catholic!? HIGH FIVE, BITCH! Papist bros for life!
I used to be in favor of gender segregated schools, but looking back on my life, I'm not convinced they're a net positive. I know kids are always sociopaths, but it seems like when everybody is the same gender it gets more vicious because there aren't the opinions of the girls/boys softening your behavior. And I am really glad I switched to coed high school halfway through, because I would have been the creepiest motherf**ker in college if I hadn't. |
Everyone at my school are pricks except for 9% of them who are either future pedofiles or special ed kids. Then the other 1% are decent people.
I hardly know any girls because I go to an all boys school which sucks, although the nearby public school is nice to head over to every now and then. I would go to a co-ed school for year 11 and 12 if my parents would let me, but pretty much all of the coed schools in my state are government funded and in Australia every government school is absolute sh*t. At least from an educational perspective.

It was pretty good, but a lot of it was drama, and the drama ended up making no sense.

WTF did Burn After Reading mean? I got most of it, but why the hell was the CIA following everybody? And suddenly, a dildo chair! |
SO apparently while my roommates were rushing a frat freshman year, another guy rushing was really into older women. Like, seriously. I find it a little creepy but mostly can't help wanting to high-five him more than anything. Burn After Reading might be my favorite Cohen Bros. movie. Oh no, after The Big Lebowski. It's just hilarious. And the dildo chair is the best part.

'nuff said :( | Ouch.
But look on the plus side, that means there's an all girls school, which also means there's equally frustrated and horny girls. Yippee!!! |
Yeah, but factor in that I'm a douchebag and the chances thin out
Haha, is the legal age of consent in the US 18? Its 16 here...
Not that I could get any... But regardless.
