Having not eaten for 24 hours. It's my fault, I didn't eat dinner, because I'm an idiot and said to my mother "I'll have it later". 1AM comes around and I still haven't eaten, I go to bed at about 2.30. Wake up at 8.30 to go to my dads, wade through the snow, skip breakfast. Go sledging, it's lunchtime now and I'm bloody hungry.

YOU SHOULD FEEL ASHAMED!!! I managed to procrastinate taking out my washing for two weeks, and I wouldn't even go that long without food. Then again, my weight isn't exactly a constant number. It's gone up. :lol:

:lol: I get myself into a lot of crap, often annoying the public..

Then there's no need to wonder. Don't you feel awkward when people start hiding their children in shame? Oh... That's just me? Oh...

I once bought a £4.50 book from a charity shop and paid them in 1p and 2p coins. They weren't amused, though I was looking at the man's expression. :lol:

I once bought a guitar in London for £175, I paid the guy mostly in £1 coins, he wasn't particularly pleased.

I think it particularly annoys them when you buy a $2 pie with a $50 note and you refuse to take 47.50 change as an answer.

It all comes down to how friendly the cashier was / is. No reason to do so if it's avoidable and if he / she is friendly. No reason to avoid it if he / she is unfriendly to friendly customers.

And who spends £4:50 on a book? :lol:

Asda sells some quality books for around that price.

How on earth does someone your age have that much money?!

Boredom grinds my gears. I don't want to do my Uni work. Woe is me...!

They stole my money once. I bought something for $3.00 with a $5 note and they wouldn't give me change! :mad:

Anyway, realizing that it's 2.AM Monday, and I haven't worn myself back into school sleeping times (I have to go back on Tuesday). So I'm going to take half of the school term to get used to the times. :grumpy:

I'm changing my question..

Who actually reads a book?

Lots of people. It's a refreshing escape from the boredom of everyday life. The one I'm reading at the moment features an SAS guy who has to murder the Prime Minister to get his family back. I'm hooked.
 
What grinds my gears is all these girls people say are beautiful, despite having a face that looks like any of the following: Punched in the eyes; you could parallel park a lorry between the eyes. They have a horrid hair style, a sharp edged chin or you can just tell that their brain is the equivalent of a dead rotting mouse. Or they've been punched in the chin upwards, in an attempt to save the sharp edge chin but it ended up squashing their entire face.
 
You know what? I agree.

The levels some women go to in terms of dressing up or wearing make up is embarrassing and laughable. They look like clown hookers. I find it a real problem, if this is what women think is attractive.

I say this to some female friends of mine but they insist that dressing up to the nines is critical, and wearing lots of make up is also vital when really... it just isn't.

It's even worse when there's a very pretty, very lovely girl but when she gets all dolled up she looks like an absolute abomination. But I daren't say that to her face. I can barely recognise it anyway.
 
Sure, I've got money now, aged 20 but you guys are 14; you've only just discovered what Playboy is. You shouldn't have that much money. I ha sod all at that time. Mind you, I never once got pocket money growing up.

Bah. These young kids and their money, that grinds my gears! How times change.
 
Jeez Jai, please tell me you're just acting like you barely know anything. What grinds my gears? That 'money is easy to come by'. Hell no! We're in a recession, people are losing jobs. Only way you should have 800 is if you have a job. Otherwise you're just spoiled rotten. I have 50 dollars in my bank account. That amount won't go up till I get a job and work for every dollar I shall get.
 
Running 8 seconds off your pace during a qualifying run. From a slight bobble that turned into a full blown crash. :(



However I nailed the Qualifier for another league. I'll take the trade.
 
I have been saving for quite a while. I have been brought up in a way that I don't know of any of the stuff that shouldn't be known at my age anyway. Money can really expand if you save it, gather up loose change, and after 6 months tip it all into one of those machines that will convert the hundreds of pennies into Dollars. I did this, and it turns out I had £60 in total after cashing it all in.

Damn right.

Grafting is the way out of it.
 
The Bayer sign on Mt. Washington has a line of lights that are always on, ruining the whole effect. It looks bad right now (anyone from Pittsburgh knows what I'm talking about).
