What are you 'what'ing? 
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word

'Amy' is an adult friend of mine (also mother of one of my closest friends) who is considering giving me room and board. I am dropping out, getting a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GED , and going to a local college (Kenai Peninsula College most likely).
That is a very simplified view of 'what is going on'

Oh wow, I just checked your age and found out you are a whippersnapper. Fooled me as I ascribed your writings to that of a more mature person. Impressive. You are wise beyond your years. I take it your home situation is that bad? Really? Oh my. I've seen intolerance, but it is never fun to see it rear its head again and again. Is your CC the one in Alaska? RE: Member Photos

It probably isn't "bad enough" to win over a judge and jury in an emancipation suit by an appeal to emotions... but it is no where near as good as the alternative (emancipation). Of course, I could argue the astounding emotional damage I have suffered from my parent's religious and philosophical beliefs... among a number of other things (I really and truly am surprised I'm not a druggie...  ). I'm not too worried... but I think that there is a chance I will have to resort to my 'backup' plans... and that is something I would much rather avoid...  CC = Community College? If so: yes, I live on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska Syna Wrote:Oh wow, I just checked your age and found out you are a whippersnapper.

You are wise beyond your years.Maturity ≠ age... although living longer gives us more time in which to gain wisdom (experience?) and maturity.

My sister is five years younger than me who has not only pulled off impressive research solo, but also does research for NASA and plans to apply to University later this month. She impresses me to know end each day. While we share similar interests, our biggest bond is through our shared ability to communicate with each other. She is indeed wiser than her peers, many who are struggling with the challenge of learning geometry and fitting in with the high school social climate, while she is in linear algebra (past vector calculus) and thoroughly motivated by her dreams. Brings me to this phrase - "Don't stop believing" in the sense your dreams are closer with each step towards them. RE: Member Photos

That sounds like talent... or at the least: intelligence Syna Wrote:Brings me to this phrase - "Don't stop believing" in the sense your dreams are closer with each step towards them. Until one has achieved their goal... there remains the possibility of failing to do so, however slight. (November 23, 2009 at 5:50 pm)Ace Wrote: I've been meaning to upload my fav pics of myself.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity. Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist. You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
Why not wear sunglasses in winter?
Sol's reflection off the snow is bright as hell >_< Or do you replace them with Snow Goggles?
