Which do you think? :lol:

Gear grinder-If you go to the gear-oiling thread here, you might have seen that I went to a great skatepark yesterday, all day. Well, I woke up today, so sore. After walking in school all day, walking to school to be late, and walking home tired (Pantera helped a little), I just got home and my legs do not want to work. My quads and calves feel absolutely horrible. This really sucks.:grumpy:
 
Same. I had a really bad headache this morning, I have them everyday. And I can't just go buy his iPhone, he most likely has something else planned for me knowing him...

Something planned? Good or bad? My dad said I could buy his old iPhone off him... For £450. :grumpy: Surprisingly I decided not to...
 
Well, not sure what to call this, but I think my town is headed on a downward spiral. For the last 2 days, I have heard police sirens. Maybe 2-3 times a year would I see a police car with it's lights on going full speed. But in the past 6 months I've seen at least twice that.

Not only that, nearly everyone (well, maybe 60%) at my high school smokes weed on a regular basis. It seems few people even try in school anymore. Teachers get less and lesa respect each day...
 
Homework right now, I have piles of paper on my desk. I'm not even supposed to be posting here but hey. :D
 
I can't stop thinking about this girl which is getting on my nerves. I hardly even know her and I can't get her off my mind. It's strange..

450 quid?!

A used Jesus mobe?! (so called because iPhone users seem to believe all what Apple tells them)

I hope you told him to shove it where the sun doesn't shine, that's just a stupid price to resell at! Considering you're his son as well.

350 quid, while high, could be seen as reasonable. But 450, that's generally about the original price when new, so it wouldn't be expected to sell at that price when it is used, unless the demand for it was artificially high.

Ahhhhhhhh, me too. I'm scared to talk to her but the girl on my mind seems so kind and is so beautiful. I feel creepy for noticing her like that, and she hasn't noticed me... That grinds my gears.

Yea I'm just to shy to talk to her, I mean I have talked to her because we used to sit together but you know, not much aside that. What I like is how she is attractive and popular however still isn't a b*itch to everybody because of it. I admire that because most girls who are attractive and popular I just don't even really want to deal with at all.

Ya the girl I like is not popular but she's certainly not a b.... And I totally get that last statement. The thing is, girls are so great, but I'd probably pull on my hair and hit my head on (soft, I don't like pain) things less.
 
Being apart from my Fiancee grinds my gears. She left for Japan today. I'll see her again in two months though. So it's not too bad.

Yea it's getting me down that she'll never think of me the same as I think of her but I guess life goes on.

What's grinding my gears? Well my parents went to this thing about the technology center that opened up for the high school They brought home some very good electives. Now onto the gear grinder. I won't have enough elective spaces to cover everything I want to do! There's Introduction to Engineering, CAD Design, and a whole lot of Adobe CS4 stuff, which I've had a lot of experience with. Looks like I may just have to try and repeat high school. ;)

Try Band. That takes up half of my electives and I also need to take a foreign language so no electives for me.
 
My tv. Right now I only get 2 channels, so either I get to watch The Bachelor or Steven and Chris. Why do I have to wait till ten to watch Castle? :mad:
 
Waking up do early. It's 6.19 AM and I don't have to be awake for another 15-20 minutes. :crazy:
 
My mouth ulcers again. I think they're getting worse!

I can't eat anything properly, I mean, everytime I chew it really hurts. The one under my tongue is a pain, like real pain! :crazy:
 
I don't feel like getting up... Or going to school. I have a feeling I'm gonna have to present something today which sucks and today just seems boring.
 
My back is absolutely killing me. It's been painful since Sunday. It has gotten so bad that my mother has told me to stay out of school today.
 
Should of, could of, would of, might of, must of etc.

I'm sorry but these are grammar mistakes that really, really tick me off.

It's have, not of. Should have, could have, would have, might have, must have.

I can understand why people might make the mistake. The contraction of have is 've, so modal verb + have equals should've, could've, would've, might've, must've. The 've sounds similar to of but it really winds me up when people write it down. I am a grammar nazi, a kind one, but this is a time when I need to vent at my most hated grammatical error.

It's either a conditional construction, so it's logical that an auxiliary verb comes next and not a genative/dative preposition. It's a shame that most curriculums don't teach English language properly; my school didn't do it at all and it's my own personal endeavours that have improved my understanding of English.

Also, my friends say things like "I drawn" and "I thrown". WRONG! It's "I drew, I have drawn" and "I threw, I have thrown". There's often a difference between the simple and perfect past.

My first name is Thom. Thom. I hate people who have known me for a long time and still misspell and/or deliberately misspronounce my name. I keep it to myself, but inside, I'm so easily trolled...

Thomas

Thom

Seems more logical to me. If people spell their name as Tom that's fine. But I spell mine slightly differently and people who have known me for 10 years or so should really know better.

Not exactly exciting gear grinders, but they grind my gears none the less!

Wow, I paid £350 for mine over 4 years ago when it was second hand. From my dad. Tight git.

But I still have it to this day and is working fine as ever, although it only charges when plugged into my office PC. :confused:
