Topicless thread

@Archer: Become a critic! Set your sights high, and maybe you could be the next Roger Ebert or something

@Stew: I know, right? They're making it out to be like Rita, when I don't think it'll get that bad at all

[stewartsage]

They keep bringing up the Ash Wednesday Storm, the 1933 Chesapeake–Potomac hurricane, and Yankee Clipper.  Those were all at least upper tier Class 3.

@pentium: you shouldn't comment on the hurricane, since you're not getting hit, lol.
that said, i agree, though we're still battening down the hatches. better safe than sorry. :\

@stew: i didn't mean to lose my temper. however, i get frustrated when she sells herself short or gives up so easily. if she wants it, she should fight for it!!
also, good luck in going back to school. ^^ i still have about 2 weeks.

@bella: you may not mean it, but comments like that make me mad. my sister just finished a semester of online college, and will be doing another one soon. her boyfriend is hoping to go in, too. while it doesn't work for all topics, it can help with alot of them.

and you defined art by assuming what they would and wouldn't consider art. is my art any less "arty" than Nymphs and Satyr?

let's change the subject. this won't stop till we do.

@Choco: Well, a category 2 hurricane doesn't sound like anything to worry about. Yes, it'll cause damage and some lives may be lost, but I don't think it's going to be another Rita, like they're making it out to be (Which did cut through my hometown, although it had weakened from a category 5 hurricane when it made landfall to a severe thunderstorm by the time it got here).

Still, I may be wrong; meteorology isn't one of my specialties. All that matters is to stay safe, and make sure you have fresh batteries in your Game Boy so you can play Pokémon in the meantime ^_^

By comparison the Great New England Hurricane killed 800 people, destroyed fifty-seven thousand homes, and caused 4.7 billion in damage.  That's not going to happen with Irene; she's only getting weaker.  That being said, the usual precautions aren't too much to be sure.  Though again, it'd be more useful down here on the coast more then New England in all likelihood.

I have a feeling Hurricane Irene isn't going to be as bad as people are expecting...

[Chocofreak13]

my dad said the news said she's going to be a tropical storm by the time she's here. :\

either way, large plants and cats, inside

Whew... I missed quite a bit in a short time...

Yep, I'm home again.

I don't think I'll comment much more on the education thing anymore, I think I've said my piece on that matter.  Obviously there was a bit of miscommunication, but I think any hurt feelings have been mended, so that's good.

On Irene, I'm not expecting much.  I've seen many a tropical storm in my day (I lived in Central MS during several hurricane seasons - even Katrina), and unless there's some sort of freak weather occurrence, she will have lost all of her strength once she reaches the Northeast.  Meteorology is definitely one of the less understood sciences at the moment, though, mother natural is a very cruel bitch in that regard.

[Chocofreak13]

hell yes she is! ^^

also, since it's been nagging me since last night, i'm about to be a sophmore in college, danny. xD i'd absolutely hate to go through freshman year again. ^^;

[IanDanKilmaster]

xD Please, please don't call me Danny.

Don't think me rude for asking so, but only one person ever called me that.  ^^;

Okay though, Sophomore Kari it is :3.  Still, Sophomore year many students are still trying to figure things out.  Hell, I met someone who was a Sophomore for 5 years (all I could think was, "where do your parents get the money? @.@").

[Chocofreak13]

i just called you that to mess with you. i love doing that to people, i don't mean to insult or anything. it's just my way. xD

as for the freshman vs sophmore thing, i'd say i'm wiser than when i was a freshman: i know how many classes are too many for me, i know to photograph and catalogue all work once it's returned, and i'm fully adjusted to my commute. i also learned that getting out of class at 9pm isn't a good idea, considering i'd get home at 11. :3

Unlike when you're a sophomore in physics, which only has taught you how much you DON'T know.

[Chocofreak13]

i think that might also work for philosophy majors.
actually, whatever degree you're going for determines how much you do or don't know by your second year. after all, if you're going for a degree in education, you might be able to teach successfully by your second year, but if you're going for education and history, it's likely you're not even close. :3


other than that, i was woken up too early. thus, i am cranky this morning. ><;
