O that nature stuff again :P Being that close to alligators though, that does sound pretty neat, and at the same time terrifying. Glad you didn't get eaten up

neh, they were on OUR trail. next to THEIR lake granted. but that's why people go to stay....what did that guide say? 30 feet away. jokes!! I'm surprised some dumb kid didn't poke on of those dead looking creatures. it was quite tempting. I think I just walked too much and that's why I didn' like it. and my family.....yeah.

hahaha i like your use of the elliptical points there. Walking is generally not the idea of fun either.

I like um....2 mile hikes. not....4. and maybe it would be better with the right shoes. but I'm quite bored of my family now. I'll just put that out there.

Bored of your family? that does not sound good.

Also the right pair of shoes makes everything better

well, bored of their conversation. spend all day hiking with yours and you'll see what I mean. they talked about economics and baseball most the time!!! and made fun of my hiccups and the fact that I was enjoying this trip the least when I picked where we were going. oh well.

really. I was lazy and didn't bring my shoes from school so I had to find an old pair in my closet.

O well I can not imagine hiking with my parents. Well my dad I actually did go hiking with and he was fine unless he got all preachy, but I do not care for my mom a lot of the time so that would be bad. That does sound like quite a boring conversation.

yeah, I'm the most out of water with my family because the conversation that holds everyone together is baseball and their fantasy baseball league (which I am not in because I find baseball boring) I think hiking with just my dad could either make me want to cry and hate myself/him or be fun and intellectual. it depends on if he gets onto me about things even if he's teasing about it. I just don't like to be pestered like that.

O man is baseball boring! It is just an awful sport. It is always nice to be intellectual and fun :) And the whole joking teasing thing is a tender subject, I think there is a way to do it correctly but it is not often used that way.

I used to go to a lot of games because we get season tickets, but I take a book or some sort to read, write, or draw. I used to like it as a kid though.
I love the intellectual topic though my dad can take it too far so that no one understands him. I still like it unless we're talking about theory's behind math and physics. I haven't and don't intend to take those courses.
I seem to be particularly sensitive to it. my dad is one of the only people that can make me really made and its because the only person that doesn't upset me with teasing is my best friend.

wow, I'm talking way more than usual today!!

Yeah the whole ambiance of being at a ball game is pretty cool, it is a nice outing, especially if you bring something along to distract from the game itself.

I really do like to talk about intellectual things, and I wish I knew the hardcore math and physics stuff. Sometimes it can get way too abstract and confusing with the real stuff, hence why I do not pursue it.

Yeah i do not like teasing generally. It always depends on the context of the situation and the person though. My "best" friend and I tend to tease a lot, which does work out.

And I am glad you are :)

I think sports like tennis are more interest. and of course my love, colorguard. I can get so into a cg competition.

I prefer more sciencey things or history. about people or the recent advances in the world. new stuff too. math is so over my head though because I never even got to calculus. I didn't take physics either and my dad is software programmer so his area of expertise is different from mine.

yeah, it seems the friends work better than family with the whole teasing thing. I don't like it when my brothers do it either and I'm pretty alright with them. I hate it when people i sorta know but don't really do it though. I always feel the need to get defensive over a joke

really now? me too.

So sorry I went poof earlier, my quad mate came over and I got totally distracted.

its alright! hi there hope!

Colorguard huh? very interesting

I too prefer other sciences and history over math, even though i know math is quite important. The only physics I get into does not involve math, it is just understanding particles and stuff, more like chemistry which is cool.

Yeah friends and certain family members are better for it. as for the people you kinda know that is just the worst when they tease you. "That is not a good way to get to know me dude, i officially dislike you much more now" You have to earn the right to joke around

:ninja:

Hope! welcome back

Kat and Alex: Thanks! ^-^
how're ya both doin'?

yep, I'm a cg girl. I did it for four years and they were some of the best and the worst times.

I am rather fond of biology though my class is boring. I like nature and animals so science that relates to that is so interesting. I get math on no level so anything that relates to that makes me want to cry from frustration.

yes!! earn the right!! I hate it when people think they are that good of a friend with you and you don't think so so it gets weird. I get that a lot. I'd rather have my brother tease me even if that upsets me too.

I'm doing good hope, how 'bout you?

Cg girl! good for you :)

Nature and animals are very nice subjects to be interested in. Also do not cry about math, I think there are ways to explain certain things without the tedium of math involved. let the real super nerds handle that

Yeah even your brother has somewhat earned that right, despite the annoyance of that.

I am fine Hope, just reading some comics. :)

and I always feel good when people know what that is!! :)

I use nature in my writing and art. even things like biology and anatomy, but math? that's for nerds. I'm glad I suffered through my last math class already. (my family is nerd though!!! DX)

yeah, he earned the right though its almost more annoying because he's earned the right to be snide because I say it like that back. sometimes they hit the wrong subject. a few things like my hatred of driving, I hate to have brought up because everyone just pesters me about it

daw, night hope. hope you sleep well!

Well i had some acquaintances of mine in cg, and frankly it always looked pretty cool to me.

Aww do not be hateful on the word nerd, I am a definite nerd.

Hmm hating to drive? A lot of my friends have a similar distaste. It used to be a point of mild teasing but it just seems normal now, you can like driving or not doesnt matter.

Night Hope, good to see you

*uber grin* its pretty dang cool. and it seems so many people I knew never quite got what it was.

oh, I'm a nerd too, but a different kind than the rest of my family. I don't write code and speak in binary. *rolls eyes* cool nerd play games and read comics and my brother informs me that I would love DnD. I think he's right.

yeah, I'm kinda scared of it and my dad taught me so its kinda a sore point that they're always telling my lil bro to not be so reluctant like me. My dad doesn't get how I can not like it yet want to have a car because its practical
