Well now I feel like a total asshole...
I'm also working on some old-school feats of strength. My current project is tearing a deck of cards in half. So far I'm up to 30, and that's without a great deal of practice.
GAHH!!! Don't you have telephone books to rip in half?! Why would you go and waste a perfectly good deck of cards like that?

They weren't perfectly good. Frankly, they were ass.
I do have perfectly good cards. They're the ones I use for playing cards.

First time credit card... oh god, that's the worse.
First time I got a credit card, I kept saying, "Oh... that's just 12 bucks... and that's only 20..."
Then it kept building up.
Good thing I paid it off quick as possible... I've had a credit card since I was 17 (actually... more like 18).
It's good to leave your credit card at home... and plan to use it for certain important purchases.
I'm pretty good. I only have a 1400 (more or less). That's mostly books and school stuff (and Christmas gifts...)

Here's the trick to credit cards, only spend with them as though you were spending with cash.
And most importantly, never ever EVER buy anything with a credit card unless you actually have enough money to pay for it at the time of the purchase.

As useless and utterly futile as it may sound, I hope to never have a credit card of my own for as long as humanly possible. i know it's near impossible. but i figure i can at least get through college with just a checking account and debit cards.
maybe after college i'll be able to deal with my own finances better and might get some credit, so that i can eventually buy a house and car on my own

I'll let you all in on an even better tip.
Just make sure your source of paying off the credit card is a steady source of free cash. In my case, my checking account that draws out of my parents' checking account when mine is gone (and I have had money in it for about a year now).
Why yes, I would like to pay off that $500 before being charged interest. Thank you very much.

NOT had, not had money in it. And actually, that's not true. I just realized that the money I earned over summer lasted for awhile, up until two or three months ago. I was surprised, I stretched that shit out long, yo.

You're still a student right Mikey?
Make sure you call your credit card company and make them tell you any special student rates. It will finish in 2 or 3 months, but you can call again, and again. There's always special rates... or threaten them you want to cancel the card. They will usually lower the rates if you say, "I can't pay that much!"
Student credit cards generally have very HIGH interest rates.
One time I was paying 13 point something, and then I said, "Never again!!!"

Start building credit early.
Remember, just buy shit only if you know you have the money to pay it off immediately. That way you don't get into debt, but you get free credit rating.

You don't even need to buy anything...
Apply as many credit cards possible, and rip them up.
That will help you out with the credit rating even if you don't use them.

Me looking a little chubbier, looking a little older--The Mexican afro just starting to puff up. My eyes red because I'm tired and the contacts.
But d-a-y-u-m-m...
Who would have known lime green is my color. I regret that I didn't buy it cause I can't find it anymore.
I'm trying to use contacts now because I glasses do make me feel older. I have them, but my eyes feel like they got sand in them.

Yea. 'Contacts'. Whatever you say.
But d-a-y-u-m-m...
You know...you're actually bangable. I didn't think you were, you know (bangable), in your profile pic. You've definitely improved for the better.
Did that sound really condescending? I meant that as a compliment, you know.
I just can't turn the condescending-tone off, sometimes. It get used so much.
I have to dig one giant cricket out of the bag of smaller crickets. Why the goddamn pet store gave me a goddamn large cricket for my goddamn toads is beyond me.
My toads will choke on a cricket that's almost as big as they are. And do you know how hard it is to dig a particular cricket out of a bag of sixty crickets?
Do they not train these Pet-Smart 'specialists'? Can just any Joe Schmuck that walks into the place get a 'specialist' badge? Can I have one? I know more about caring for pets than ten Pet-Smart employees combined.
I tried keeping crickets myself, once, you know. Crickets are terribly nasty things, in case you didn't know. I don't belive in using those gels, or powders...so I'd feed my crickets oranges (for the 'liquid' nourishment) and potatoes (for the 'solid' nourishment). Not only do crickets eat their own, and defacate on everything...they lay eggs in the oranges. Crickets also have this particular...smell...to them.
Nothing in the world smells like crickets, man. It's like...something that's been rotting, for a very long time.
In short: Fuck crickets, and the God that created them.
I swear by my life - and my love of it - that I will never live my life for the sake of another man, or ask another man to live his for mine.

*Sigh* my friend is one of those... hermit types of people. Not that there's anything wrong with that but she's 22, still lives with her mom, makes about $7.25/hr, her mom owns the duplex they live in, and pays it between her and her other daughter. They can barely afford to pay it off, they have a 50year period to pay it off so their payments are low.
But that's not the point. My friend is a high-school dropout, she's really close to getting her GED but won't pursue it, and I've been trying to talk some sense into her into getting her shit together for ages now. So... the following text is the end of the conversation which just took place between her and I in MSN:
This day wept on my shoulders says:
and metaphorically all I'm doing is shoving you
This day wept on my shoulders says:
in another direction
This day wept on my shoulders says:
so it won't hit you
This day wept on my shoulders says:
at least not head-on
Schieszka says:
so WHAT wont hit me?
This day wept on my shoulders says:
life
Schieszka says:
lol, it hits everyone, why would I be an exception?
This day wept on my shoulders says:
because at least everyone else tries to prepare for it
Schieszka says:
not so, not everyone
This day wept on my shoulders says:
I know, and oftentimes when it hits, it hits hard, and it'll hit you like a ton of bricks
This day wept on my shoulders says:
especially if it hits a weak area
This day wept on my shoulders says:
you have 50 years to pay off your property
Schieszka says:
then let it hit me, jesus, then it might nock some sense into me
This day wept on my shoulders says:
yes but then it might be too late
This day wept on my shoulders says:
in a realistic figure, your mom won't live for another 50 years
This day wept on my shoulders says:
hell I doubt I'll live that long
This day wept on my shoulders says:
maybe -.-
This day wept on my shoulders says:
but that's not the point, the point is... what would happen to you?
Schieszka says:
...you say that like I dont know
This day wept on my shoulders says:
oh so you know
Schieszka says:
I dont know, I dont CARE
This day wept on my shoulders says:
oh you don't know
Schieszka says:
and by that time, I sure as hell wont care what happens
Schieszka says:
hopefully by then Doris wont ned me, not that she ever will
This day wept on my shoulders says:
oh it could happen tomorrow
Schieszka says:
it could
This day wept on my shoulders says:
and if Doris doesn't do well in school, she will need you
This day wept on my shoulders says:
guaranteed
This day wept on my shoulders says:
if that were to happen it would be up to you and your sister
Schieszka says:
she has a father, she has family, I'm not all she's got
This day wept on my shoulders says:
ok
This day wept on my shoulders says:
but this isn't about Doris, what about you?
Schieszka says:
what ABOUT me?
This day wept on my shoulders says:
unless you went to live with your dad, you'd end up on the street
This day wept on my shoulders says:
because there's no realistic way you could pay off that house
This day wept on my shoulders says:
and then you'd be a burden on your dad
This day wept on my shoulders says:
a burden on anyone you went with, rather than an aid
Schieszka says:
*rubs her head* yes, I know. and fyi, I dont speak to my father
This day wept on my shoulders says:
k then you'd be royally fucked
Schieszka says:
who said I'd go to anyone?
Schieszka says:
okay then
This day wept on my shoulders says:
you... wouldn't mind living on the street?
This day wept on my shoulders says:
if you think it's cold now...
This day wept on my shoulders says:
if you think you don't like men now...
Schieszka says:
i wouldnt care
This day wept on my shoulders says:
indeed you would
This day wept on my shoulders says:
the tough front won't save you
This day wept on my shoulders says:
and it would hurt the ones you care about, like your friends, and family
Schieszka says:
look, if it did happen tomorrow, so what? it doesnt matter, and that's not the tough front, or else I'd day, "I'll find a way"
This day wept on my shoulders says:
no, the tough front is "I don't care"
This day wept on my shoulders says:
"I'll find a way" is the front you should put up.
This day wept on my shoulders says:
that's a more optimistic way
Schieszka says:
no, that' the fucking truth. mom is the WORLD to me, no mom, no nothing. that's just how it is
This day wept on my shoulders says:
No she isn't the world to you.
This day wept on my shoulders says:
Otherwise you'd care.
This day wept on my shoulders says:
And you wouldn't have let her down.
This day wept on my shoulders says:
But you make it seem as if you don't give two shits whether you let her down or not.
This day wept on my shoulders says:
You make it seem as if you could care less whether you help her out bit by bit... or in larger amounts in order to further ease the burden.
This day wept on my shoulders says:
If you cared so much about your mom, you'd have finished college by now.
This day wept on my shoulders says:
So your definition of "care" is somewhat marred it seems.
This day wept on my shoulders says:
And if that doesn't motivate you in the slightest, then you truly don't care about her, and it's hypocritical.
This day wept on my shoulders says:
*sighs and goes about his work*
Dead silence now... did I go too far? Or was it the dose of reality she needed from a 3rd party?

Oh, and some feedback would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I've tried everything to get through to her. But she's relentlessly locked up in her anime/yaoi-writing-obsessed world and letting a perfectly-good girl go to waste.

Somebody sigify Damein's words... please.
His sweetest words needs to be preserved because they are little and far between.
Cause I'm tired reading the Bible for my class, and my eyes are more red and I need to sleep ASAP... and who knows how I will feel when I come back (especially with this aching tooth. I'm an outright bitch lately...)
I'll be back in a day or two, I got school stuff and I'm going to San Bernadino to visit my half sister.
(Sepheroth... I may pass by LA-- by Placita Olivera for a few useless trinkets. Just to let you know.)
