Oh, yeah okay, that's what I figured. See, I don't have television and I don't really go to the movies all that often, so I'm really out-of-the-loop when it comes to new movies... which is probably bad seeing as I'm the Living and Arts editor for my school's newspaper. xD
My friend in Australia saw Iron Man 2 a few hours ago and said:

CK: (( XD yay for cool action movies. xD they're my favorite. :3 ))
Friend: (( :B I liiiiked. want to see it again XD ))
Ignore the (())s. We were in the middle of an RP when her mom convinced her to go. xD;
Don't really know what I think about Suona just dropping out. Understand Zwe's reasoning. Ah well.
You and me, Silver... as it should be. Or something. xD (Seeing as we have similar ideas about avatar-making, which seems to be fairly uncommon on the site overall, it seemed appropriate.)

Time to duel it out, CK! xD
Now. We need the appropriate epic western music.

I ended up going committing to Stanford! It was tough though, I got into all the schools that I applied for, but I'm getting $50,000 from Harvard and Stanford.
XD Buddies at Cal = hard time.
A friend of mine is going to Stanford, too. She got accepted into Stanford, Yale, Harvard, and many more, but decided on Stanford because that has been her dream forever. And she got the Gates scholarship.
I think that you guys are amazingly lucky. It'll take a lot of work, but i'm sure you've worked your way there and deserved it. Its certainly not something that is easy to get. Congrats! ^^

I may not have the same reasons as Zwe, but my life has been kicking my ass, and I had a horrible week. PM has been on hold and skipping around like crazy this time, and I didn't make a committment in the beginning to have it be like this. It went weeks of nothing, and intentionally got held back a week. The new round suddenly showed up while I was still really busy and it took me a while to get to it, and for this round, I honestly dont know enough about all this to just up and make an avi in the few hours that I had left at the time. I would have to do a bunch of research and dig up information and everything, and I just was too exhausted to do that. I couldn't even stay awake and I have been so drained.
Yeah, people are probably going to be grumpy at me for dropping out, but by this point i'm just too tired to care anymore. If you guys have a problem with it, then i'm sorry, but I dont feel at fault. It truly is a shame, I know, and I hadn't expected to have to drop out. Thursday I was going to do it once I got home, but I just wanted to kill something that day, so I can't say that my mind really was thinking about PM. I have had a lot on my mind and have been completely stressed out. Family, friends, school issues. All of it. Probably one of my worst weeks of the year. Sorry again everyone. I just think I may need to take an extended hiatus from Mene. Who knows.
And that wasn't directed to be snappy at you, CK, so sorry if it seems so. Just kind of really peeved with everything right now.
I'm bi, but more attracted to women than men. Honestly, though, I'll probably end up with a man (assuming I ever actually date, which I don't really do right now) for two reasons.
1. I don't know a single bi/gay/lesbian in Boston.
2. It's easier. Why deal with all the homophobia and discrimination if I could go either way?
I believe that everyone is bi, though. There's just a long range of bi. Entirely attracted to men, though maybe might consider a woman if the situation was just right, but really, no, the men---through equally attracted to either--through entirely attracted to women, though might consider a man if the situation was just right, but really, no, the women.
I think the reasons that you come across so many bi/gay/lesbians on the internet are 1) some people just lie, or at the very least stretch the truth. The internet is made up of lots of young people who think it's abstractly cool to be queer but are unlikely to every actually date a member of their own sex in real life, and 2) often times the people attracted to sites like this are in some way outcasts in real life so they're creating a second life online, and I think many bi/gay/lesbians feel like outcasts. The internet is a good place to find peers with similar tastes.
I agree with a lot of that, Cami. I don't really like to label my sexuality (although labels are inevitable, so I generally go with pan/polysexual), because who I like depends on the person, not their gender, but I've been leaning more towards women lately. I don't think I'll end up dating another full-on male any time soon, just because I'm not as attracted to them. I also don't think I would ever avoid dating someone because it was socially unacceptable. I'm such an idealist. :lol:
I totally agree with the concept that everyone is at least a little bi. Humans are sexual creatures, and the mindsets that make homosexuality out to be inherently wrong only serve to make people even more curious about homosexuality because humans are also curious creatures. Humans can find people attractive and not want to have sex with them, and a big part of a person's sexuality is who they're attracted to.
Pretty much total agreement with the second half, Cami. About 30% of the girls in my class claim to be bisexual, just because they want attention from older guys at school, or from people in general. It's quite annoying, and a few people were only 'bisexual' for about the span of a week.
My GSA group actually refers to fake bisexuality as a fashion trend amongst people around here.
I label myself as gay, even though I haven't dated anyone. And I somewhat believe in the theory of everyone being somewhat bisexual, but not myself. (Sounds a little hypocritical, I suppose.)
But anyways, that's my two cents. Again. xD
I've been bisexual since 7th grade and only recently realized that I don't believe in traditional gender roles, but up until, again, very recently I was in denial of it in a way. People at my middle school disliked me a LOT and informed me on several occasions that I only called myself bisexual because this one other girl (that I had a huge crush on) was a lesbian. They thought I just wanted to be cool. Halfway through my freshman year in high school, I got a really controlling über christian-conservative boyfriend who made me go to church with him and convinced me, to some extent, that I was straight. Of course, I never really believed it, but it made me deny and question whether I was really attracted to women, and I went along with it because I assumed I would be with him forever (a very stupid assumption to make when you're 14-16).
With so many people claiming to be bisexual only for the supposed popularity, it was really hard for me to come to terms with my sexuality even though I live in a pretty accepting environment and now that I've come to terms with it, a lot of my friends aren't very accepting of it at all, especially the females. xD "Since you like women, clearly you like EVERY woman!"
Intriguing, cora is also bi if anyone is interested in knowing. I was equally dispartial to both but right now I'm feeling a bit disheartened towards the male race..... Sorry guys, I blame my ass of a husband. It will pass I'm sure......
I will also comment on Cami's- "its easier" comment. I married a man, because I was tired of it all and felt it would be the best way to live quietly, I told myself it was easier. I already had been disowned from my family, estranged from my friends and kicked out of my church before the age of 20. But now my life blew up in my face....and I wonder....was it easier. I should have stayed with my ex.....whom I will always love.
As for judgings, I'll have to do them tommarrow.....too tired now.
Suona, please keep in mind that my comment wasn't really meant towards you in the sense of, "whatever, your reasons aren't good enough" so much as, "I'm disappointed that so many people dropped out and would have liked to have gotten as far as I did knowing it was because my avatar skills were good, not because over half the contestants dropped the competition". I knew Zweres had a high chance of dropping out of Project Mene. I didn't expect you to.
:( I didn't want to drop out since I enjoyed making avatars, but I'm so busy from my little east coast escapade and studying for ap exams, and then too many commitments with sports too. XD Too many commitments. I only have to last another two weeks though.
Yeah, I almost wish I didn't have that many things to do in real life. I enjoyed moderating the forums and participating in things like Project Mene, but so many things made it just too complicated.
I'm glad I dont have to go through that again, though I have found life dragging me away more and more lately....but thats alot more cynical and dreary then a new college.
Life is life, though. It's gotta do what its gotta do to you. xD
Amen.
I'm stuck doing an arse-load of things at the moment, but in a matter of weeks I will finally be done and surprisingly it seems like everything so far has worked out just like I planned. *crosses fingers*
Arse-loads are pretty large. That's good! Are you counting down the days? xDDD
Oi, don't cross your fingers! That doesn't work anymore ~ stuff like that just makes it more likely to go kerplop on'ya.
