Was it deliberate? I only ask because a lot of refrigerators have their thermostats in a stupid place, like on the side of the fridge, as a slider or round knob that can be hit when you put your milk in.

But if it was deliberate, I'd make him pay for new groceries. Seems reasonable to me.

I just tried to become a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and hit the wrong button on the first question. I fail miserably. I would've rocked that show, too.

FUUUUUUUUUUUGODDAMNITWTFBBQ!!!
Apperently, I need to look for a night job, since My day job can't afford to keep me around for the next 10 days.
We have work coming in; we just don't have anything now.

I can't blame anyone, not even myself. We are contractors. If we don't have contracts, we don't have work, and while we have 8+ major projects we are going to have, until they come in(and they are dragging their feet)...

I HATE BEING AN ADULT! D:

So on the last written assignments of the semester I have to turn in I like adding images so for my bio class I chose one with anthro cats cause my prof loves cats. So he tells me to hang up after class and comes over and asks me if I drew it, I tell him who did and turn with my friends to go and he leans in and asks me if I'm Furry, and then tells me he is. I told him "no, but I know a few" and finally made my way out.

So I already knew he was but still O.O TMI I mean being told to my face and being asked so openly if I was was just awkward and a bit creepy. I know there's sometimes a more relaxed mood between college students and teachers but this just caught me off guard, I mean he's not one of my major professors, I've only known him for a month and that "knowing" him has been teacher-student interaction.

Weird

I don't really have a problem with the fact that he's a furry I don't have anything against furries, but that he did it in the classroom even though class was over, I mean everyone was still there :O

Far as I can tell, he said "I'm a furry". There are a lotta kinds of furries. He didn't lean in and say "Do you like dressing up in a fursuit and dryhumping men in female costumes because I do"

All furries like to dryhump men in female fursuits. Don't you watch television?

I do, but apparently I don't watch the right channels.

Is there furry yiffing on the disney channel? (actually, now that I think about it, there very well MIGHT be...)

trust me he's not into me, not only does he have a boyfriend but he announced in class the first week that he was gay. Another really odd thing to do especially considering the area I live in.

I'd help him out if I could, but I just don't know many in the area, I know alot of them go to local Mecha Con but he might already know that.

I have decided on wednesday, after my summer finals are over, I am going off caffeinated soda(specifically coke) cold turkey. Hopefully for good this time. So that means I have a good week or so of really hard withdrawl to work through seeing as currently if I even go a day without it I get headaches so bad I can't leave the bed.

That's a pretty hard addiction. How much soda do you drink?

I don't count really but if I'm out I usually have one on hand, and if I'm home I've gotten to the point where I have to buy 12 packs for myself(house drinks diet) and I run out really quickly I buy them 4 at a time and that can last me about a week or two if I'm also going out. If I'm home and don't go out at all I could go through 6+ all day.

Yes, definitely stop. Aside from the caffeine, that's 900+ calories a day, all purely from cheap sugar. Sugar spikes to your bloodstream certainly aren't going to help the headaches, either.

I wish you luck, mv. I've gone through the caffeine withdrawal thing before myself, after freshman year of college when I was going through 2 or 3 energy drinks a day, plus sodas at lunch. All I can say is that water is your friend. Drink water, lots of water, healthy wonderful makes up 2/3 of your body... water.

I feel like I should have an update, but I don't.

I don't think I've eaten anything HEALTHY since I've moved to Canada. I finally caved in to the craving for the one food I'd never have a craving for
