Anyone in college,
I urgently need the following information from as many people as possible who are currently attending college: gender, last semester's GPA (I need your GPA from JUST last semester, NOT your cumulative GPA for your entire college career), number of hours worked on average per week, and number of credit hours taken last semester. This is for a statistics project that I have to do, and I have to have the data preferably by this Thursday, but at the latest by Friday. This is open to ANYONE in college, even if you do not work, I need to know that too. Thanks! |

If you had me alone... locked up in your house for twenty-four hours and I had to do whatever you wanted me to, what would you do with me?
All posts will be permanently screened because it's a secret. Then repost this in your LJ - or don't. You might be surprised with the responses you get. |

Here in this world we live in, I find more and more that the people in J M Barrie's Neverland were really on to something.
For all the adults: How many times do you find yourself saying, "I just wish my life would slow down just a little", or, "I am so caught up in all of this that I just can't even find a way out. I am highly stressed"?
I am fairly certain that most adults would agree that these are not only occasional thoughts, in addition, they are EVERYDAY thoughts! We allow ourselves to become so wrapped up in the constructed adult reality that we loose sight of ourselves. We grow up to become adults, and as adults we are supposed to renounce all claims to childhood. This is the reality that, as adults, we seem to face. Tell me, honestly, where is it written that adults must give up the childish awe of each new day, the imaginative fantasy that is such an integral part of a child's every interaction?? Tell me why it is that people feel that they must give these up in order to "be an adult"? I find this to be one of the saddest occurrences in life: the death of a child so that one may become an adult. Life is all about balance, and should be treated accordingly.
Just this morning I had the opportunity to exchange an early morning cowing with someone I hold dear. This person more often than most, is entangled in the nastiness of "adulthood". Much responsibility is heaped upon this person, much is expected, and this person takes it all. I have seen the weight it has, the burden of over-responsibility. After I exchanged a good morning cow with this person and we went our separate ways for the day, I started musing upon the previously mentioned topic. This game we play, Cow, this is a treasured part of each of our inner children sneaking out to play in the adult world. My heart was so gladdened to see this coming through in this particular individual, and you know what... this little childish game...it actually helped. Let this be something for all of the adult populace, and those entering adulthood, to think upon. And one final note before I go: Everyone who reads this or has me listed as a friend is hereby Cowed for the rest of the day, may you wear your cow horns with childish pride!Current Mood:  contemplative Current Music: Linkin Park - One Step Closer |

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.
Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.
**I don't see a problem here, but with cut-and-paste technology I suppose it has to stay the way it is because I am too lazy to correct it...though I am not lazy enough to keep writing all this...** |

Just a cursory note for all: those who steal, lie, betray trust, toy with other's emotions, and meddle in the otherwise peaceful and drama-free lives of others... contemplate the actions you take in your lives; reflect on the consequences of your actions and the potential ramifications of the choices you make; and be not surprised when life does not extend a warm and friendly hand to aid you. Each of us is given a brain so that we may think freely and act freely in turn. If one chooses to use this gift for the aforementioned, one should expect to reap naught but sorrow and loneliness. If one should choose to use this gift so as to benefit others, and themselves, then one should expect the same goodwill and affection to be returned to them. These are a few thoughts that I think everyone should ponder and reflect upon. Good evening to all.

P... Phosphorous
You scored 51 Mass, 46 Electronegativity, 48 Metal, and 10 Radioactivity! |
You're high energy... really high. Unfortunately, you don't always put
your energy to calm constructive use and sometimes let it all out in
intense bursts. If your energy can be harnessed however, you will
produce truly great things. I suggest you take up a job that runs you
ragged... like opening and closing a Sodium-Potassium pump. Socially
you ought to hang with a crowd that is even more social than you. If
you don't, well... all those people who spontaneously combusted
throughout history... you guessed it, phosphorous people who didn't
have enough to occupy themselves. When picking friends make sure most
of them rated high on the electronegativity scale... Chlorines, Oxygens
and whatnot. |  |
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 84% on Mass | | You scored higher than 86% on Electroneg | | You scored higher than 39% on Metal | | You scored higher than 41% on Radioactivity |

You hear that? I'm "high energy" LMAO... ah I do enjoy humorous things. SO.. from those of you that know me, any comments?

Today is but another day, but today is so much better in every other way. What would it be like to hear such words from those around you? What if every cloud had not a silver lining, but an iridescent world of infinite possibilities? What if the very essence of inner piece and contentment were within your grasp and the only thing keeping you from attaining it was the uncurled fingers of your own hand? Imagine the possibilities of these thoughts; entertain them if only for a brief time. Smile every day and know that even when life seems as death, there will always be at least one whose very life has been touched in a very profound way by perhaps nothing more than your own smile. Though life may be fleeting, and the years run together in a cacophony of echoing memories, know that today, this very day, I bow my head in gratitude and wonderment at these people that I call friends. I know you by name. My heart resounds your names with every beat. My head has a place of honor for all of you. Today, this day, I pause to reflect on all of those who have touched my life in the past and in the present, and from the bottom of my heart I thank you. Strength and honor my friends
