Great movie, my family and I quote it way too much. Especially that part where Darry hits Ponyboy. "I didn't mean to, I forgot, that's all I ever hear from you!" "Ponyboy, I..I didn't mean to." Oh man, that's good stuff, I need to watch that again soon.

I love The Hitcher! It's one of the few DVDs I own. It's nice to hear he had good memories of it. I did not know there was a sequel, but I will take C. Thomas Howell's advice and not see it.

I like the Frontline reviews (it's one of the only shows I regularly watch). I'm scared these reviews aren't getting enough traffic, so I'm going to do my part and leave a comment. I saw only a bit of this one but thought it was a weaker episode. So is there a new episode next week? I have no idea what schedule…

@LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus yeah that's awful for your teacher. I'd like to clarify that I'm not a gun enthusiast, my only experience with them was at the range, and it was probably my company more than the actual shooting that I liked. He did bring the gun over to my place before going to the range, and he showed it to…

What's wrong with checking medical records? Don't they check them anyway to see if you've been in a mental hospital? You can't just go get a gun if you're schizophrenic right?

I liked going to the shooting range, I went with a gun owner friend of mine and it was a neat experience. I've thought about buying a gun and I went to a gun show once but since I'm a girl, and because I obviously didn't know what the hell I was doing, no one took me seriously and I was pretty much ignored. It's one…

I only worked there for a few months, I had been out of work for a long time so I took what I could get. I know I could have lasted there longer, but I happened to find a very respectable (though low paying) job with normal hours. The guys I worked with who had been doing it for years told me that you never get used…

I've done the online dating thing several times in the past, and I've come to realise that it's important that I actually get out and meet these guys. If I get bogged down writing them for too long, I just stop writing, or I eventually get frustrated with the whole thing and then delete my account even though there…

Thanks Scrawler! I think the hardest part is not necessarily finding a guy who likes me, but letting that guy get close to me, as I tend to want to isolate myself. I look at it this way: even if I don't succeed, at least I will probably get some good stories.

You are too kind. And yeah, I know it can work out, a long time ago I met a guy on a dating site and we were friends for many years, and I've known at least 3 people who have gotten married to someone they met online. I'm not really expecting to find boyfriend, I would be happy with just getting to know a few more…

I haven't seen Escaflowne in at least 10 years. It was one of the first animes I watched and I've liked it a lot and have been meaning to watch it again sometime. Glad to hear it holds up.

I love you Hat, I just laughed so hard I had to leave my desk and go for a walk to compose myself. Those guys should be more scared of me than I of them. And yes tonight I am going to put a rag on my face and stand in front of the shower head and go "what the hell, this isn't that bad."

That's crazy! I just can't imagine. I'm reading the wikipedia page, trying to get a better idea. it says there can be "damage to the lungs and brain from inhalation of water and oxygen deprivation" so…yeah I guess that's pretty bad and I shouldn't try it out.

Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a nice weekend.

Sorry to hear about all the drama. Hope things get easier soon.

I've never actually had the flu. It sounds horrible. I'm glad you are doing better. Did you get the flu shot? I never do.

Thanks! It's made of a medium colored wood and has three glass panels on it. I'm using it to display my huge collection of plants, some of which I had on the floor because I desperately needed another table.

I was thinking of you, Jimmy! It's so tough, you go from talking to no one to having to talk to a ton of people and it's very time consuming. I think I'm being too nice to everyone. I'm really trying to be open minded but I think I need to draw the line somewhere because some of these guys are completely not my type…

I don't want to make light of torture or waterboarding, but I'm curious how bad it is and I'd be willing try it out just to see. Do you actually get water in your lungs, or does it just feel like you're drowning? If you know you're not actually drowning, then how bad can it be? Can I get someone to waterboard me if I…

I used to have a job where I worked the 8am to 8pm shift and then the next week 8pm to 8am shift. Over and over again, having to adjust my sleep. Actually sometimes there was only one day between the day and night shift in which to adjust. It sucked so hard. But it paid well. I ended up quitting and now I'm at my…
