I saw the paper to sign up for the science club. I considered doing it, because I love science and all. But I got to thinking, I doubt I'd have the time to go to the club and I'd always be intimidated about being the least smart one there.
There are some cute guys that become cuter when they talk. They have such interesting things to say and it helps when you come across one who comes from up North or out West. I totally dig those accents (I'm such a non-fan of Southern accents, though).
With that said, arrogant jerks are arrogant jerks and are really a turn-off.
You should join. Hell, I feel totally stupid next to these guys. Then again, that might be because they always talk over me. *rolls eyes* Even I'm reconsidering because I dunno if I'll have time to go to the meetings. I drive with Peggy and I'm not making her spend more time over there just so I can attend a meeting on time
( ... )
I notice accents like crazy. I'm very interested in languages, the formation of accents, etc. My brother says I should go into linguistics instead of computer science. It might be fun: another gay linguist for the military to discharge, yay!
*giggles* Stick it to the man! *pauses* Um. That might have come out wrong. *shakes head* I tried to sign up for the Army some years ago (cause my folks were Army), just before 9/11 and they said I was too fat (not in so many words, of course). So now, hearing that the standards have dropped, if they ever put the draft in effect, I'm gonna laugh in their face and say "Hell no! I tried, you said no, so fuck off."
*shrugs* So I'm more "Go you for being you!" than "Boo!" I mean, it makes no sense to kick out healthy, willing folk just cause they like their own sex. I mean, if I WAS military, I'd rather have a lesbian on my back than a straight guy cause, well, at least I know then that she'll watch out for me and go after the bastards who kill me should something happens. Straight guy? "Eh, another lazy ass gone. Oh well." *pauses then gets off soapbox* Sorry.
But if you like languages, you should go into it. Or maybe minor in languages and major in comps? Or vice versa?
Naw, that sounds about right fer yer height. Me, I've got 100lbs on you, but I'm six inches shorter. *shrugs* Nothing wrong with likin' food. Gotta eat, yeah?
Ditto here. Comps, science, reading/writing...but I'd never be able to make a career out of writing, no matter what folks say. And I can't teach English. I absolutely hate English classes. Computers, I don't have the brain for. There's lots of tech stuff you gotta know the proper name to. While I might remember how to do stuff, I'd be callin' it "This doohickey goes with that jigger and then you plug the thingamabob into the whatsitcalled..."
I dunno if I could teach History, though I speak up a lot in class and that makes PEggy think I'd be good with it. But I like math, too, and finally get it enough that I can retain it and maybe do something with it. ADD's a bitch when it comes to learnin' numbers. But Peggy says I got her through 102 and I can teach it so...*shrugs* Why not? My prob is that I don't have patience for stupidity and 90% of kids are terminally stupid. *sigh*
Thanks for your opinion about my weight. On Halloween, TC called me a "good-sized guy." Good-sized? Like, that's a good-sized dinner. So yeah, I'm definitely a big guy; not the biggest guy around perhaps, but still.
I've got to admit, using computer terms around people is fun. I just told my mother the other day, "You know, if you click the back button instead of the 'Go to the home page' link, the browser will retrieve the web page from the cache instead of having to re-download it." I seriously doubt she knew what I was talking about.
Yeah, the stupidity of some people is astounding. If you want stupidity, try Math 099 sometime. I mean, I'm not a math wiz by any stretch of the imagination and I was so incredibly bored. "OK, for the third week in a row, x to the negative nth power is one over x to the nth power." I'm glad 102 is moving faster, though I've heard complaints about it moving too fast (not from me).
Yeah, I'm not that big and I exercise regularly. The thing with me is that I feel that I'd be more attractive to guys if I were skinny. But it seems like that's not going to happen.
Personally, I don't know how to dumb things down. I've been a computer nerd for so long that I can't really think like someone who knows jack shit about them. Yeah, I know the jargon, I know the acronyms, and I confuse people like crazy.
I never took my ACT or SAT, but on my COMPASS test I scored six points away from Math 102, so I was stuck in 099. Math 099 was boring, but I had to attend every class in order to pass. I was thought of as the genius in the class who, which was cool. The advantage was that I made an A on every test; I did actually get a 95 on some of them, because I forgot to carry over the negative sign. Oops.
I tried that for a while then I thought "Well, if they want someone skinnier, there's much to choose from. They want me, they got me." *shrugs* Yeah, to lose a few pounds would be nice for the very few health probs I DO have, but I can live with it. Yeah, I know, cliche crap, but it's better than constantly worrying

I like a lot of things: computers, science, languages. The problem is that I don't know if any of those areas would be where I'd want a career.
