People in my year are organising a social (like a party type thing at a hotel) and it's going to be for Halloween. It is also going to be fancy dress, and I am raelly excited because I havn't dressed up in years. Unfortunately I have no idea what to go as T_T. I know it's ages away but I want to know now in case I forget >_>. My friend is going as Brandon Urie from I Write Sins Not Tragedies and it's going to look awesome, but I got nothin >_>'. Any ideas? =D
....I got my first two ever phising e-mails today :D. Automated Security warnings from NatWest telling me I have had several unsuccessful login attempts and to click a link. Funny thing is I don't have an account with NatWest :) Anyone else have them?
.......... and no-one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Technically it does, because as it falls it displaces air creating waves of sound through the air. But as this is a philosophical question lets forget the technicalities :3 If no-one is there then how do we know the tree has fallen? How do we know that that particular tree made a sound as it feel if there was no witness? This could be said for many things, you wouldn't know someone existed until you actually met them or in some way encountered them? Up until that point, from your perspective, they didn't exist. Please discuss x]
My brother (Cloaked-Schemer) and I are going on holiday from tomorrow morning for a week and shall not have access to a computer during this time. Ugh, I just know I'm going to miss something major >_> Fill me in when we get back D:
Phew, glad that's over and that the site is back up. Did you catch who did it?
Ugh, the forum is too slow today >< I'm about to fall asleep at my computer it's so slow. Although that might have been last nights party.............
After watching all of these religion related threads pop up I've been wondering, do we even deserve to have a concept such as religion? We took something good and pure with a set of morals to help guide society and keep us essentially good. But no, that couldn't last, could it? Bickering, not being able to decide on one true interpretation, greed and a hunger for power blinding religious leaders who have control over millions of followers relying on them for guidence. All of this leading to wars, death, suffering and hate. Only the corruption of human beings could have done this to such a benign and wonderful concept. The same thing happened with communism, a perfect government system on paper ruined when humans were introduced. I think that until we resolve our differences of opinion God (if he /she exists in any form) should ignore us and leave us to our own fate for our own stupidity.
Hgttg Who here has read all five books in the amazing Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy? IMO they are among some of the funniest books in existence. Written by the great Douglas Adams who must have had a mind of a complete genius (or raving mad loony), they take random to a whole new level. So, anyone? :roll:
I was just wondering what people's best times are in Microsoft Minesweeper (should come with your comp, mine are: Beginner: 9 seconds Intermediate: 42 seconds Expert: 144 seconds (I think :D) I'll update them if i get any better x]
My dad recently told me that I had a lumbar puncture when I was two. I never knew, apparantly my parents thought they were going to lose me, AND THEY NEVER TOLD ME THIS BEFORE?! Link if you don't know what a lumbar puncture is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_puncture
Is it a blessing or a curse? I mean, I like knowing things and being able to answer questions. It's comforting when you are familiar with what is being dicussed. But sometimes I wish I could just wipe my mind and forget everything I know. Knowledge takes the 'magic' out of everything. When I go to see films I sit and look for things that are wrong rather than enjoying the film and I can't stop ><. My mind never stops, I can't turn it off, so I can't enjoy the simple things in life. Intelligence also means I'm able to over complicate and over think everything. Sometimes I just wish I was dumb. Lol, it's funny because I want to lose my intelligence and others in my year want it. I suppose people just are never happy with what they have and want to live the opposite because it looks better than what they have. Wow, I rambled a bit there. Anyway, I think it is a double-edged sword. What do you think?
i have a question, first off i am agnostic and not really religious, but i cant understand how humans ended up so different to every other animal on the planet? im all for evolution but i cant understand how such a huge gap occured. was it evolution got a really good idea for an organism and ran with it for millions of years? or is it just a fluke? or does it leave room for a higher being in the theory of evolution?
my friend has just invited me to his baptism (he is 17) tomorrow night and i dont know whether to go or not >< im agnostic and im not sure if he knows. i dont even know what i would wear, or what denomination he is.
This was originally only going to be about one but i kept thinking of other ones XD Mine has to be between Blazing Saddles, Life of Brian and Little Shop of Horrors. lol I wonder how many people have actually seen these :)
Does everyone actually know what that is? Because none of my friends seem to.... (btw i do since i myself am agnostic)
I GOT MY HUNDRETH POST JUST THERE NOW! WOO, lol only 900 more until premium *sigh*
this has sorta split from the other two threads.... how come the age for smoking is 16 but the age for alcohol is 18? surely smoking is considerably more dangerous than drinking alcohol? i think it should at least be raised to the same level as alcohol if not higher. its weird to think i could go out and buy a pack of cigarettes right now and it being legal......
ermm, im getting my hair dyed black, but semi-permanent (in case i dont like it) and i was wondering, the one my mum got doesnt say to do an allergy test (ie put on inside of elbow and wait 48 hours) but it says it may cause allergies. ive never been allergic to anything and im going to a party tonight and wanted to get my hair done for it. my mum put it on my elbow, do you think it would be ok to leave it for a couple of hours to see what happens or just wait 48 hours to be on the safe side?
with all of our modern conveniences and such we have a lot more free/leisure time in our modern society, which should mean that people should be happier. then how come the most treated 'illness' in the UK is depression? do people have too high expectations of life which are falling short of reality, is it something that has developed over time (plz no references to evolution, dont want any flaming) or is it something else entirely?
can anyone give me tips on how to grow my hair emo-esquely? i have been trying for the better half of a year and my fringe has just reached the top of my vision:(. any make your hair grow long really fast tips, or general hair careness would be very much appreciated.
