What's that in stone? I joke.

Don't worry about it. I've bumped into friends that I left school with at 15 and 3-4 years later they're giants. I'm sure you'll have a growth spurt. I haven't stopped growing yet, in fact, weighing only 60kg myself I don't think I've even started yet.

I got 28 open right now. Though only one is for gtplanet. I've been researching laptops for my brother so that's why I have so many tabs open. Though thanks to web browsers consuming so much memory I have to resort to a memory reducing plugin for Firefox. I current use MemoryFox and I've holding at 820MB memory used just for the web browser. The Plugin Container(for Memory fox, flash, java, etc...) is at 252MB right now though. I honestly don't remember Firefox taking this much memory before about 4-5 years ago.

I sure hope so, and how old are you? Because the impression I get from your other posts is mid to late 20's.
 
I'm 25 and haven't shifted weight since I was 14. I have a fast metabolism, as most likely do you. I'm also 6ft tall which makes me look like a bean pole. :lol:

My father was the same until his late 20's. He's now 100kg and has to train a lot to keep his weight down! It'll happen, it just takes longer for some than others.

Story of my life. I always had playstation systems and some Nintendo one but for some reason all my friends had Xbox. I could care less what system you have but of purse they gotta say o Xbox is so much better it has halo etc. Ya halo was good when it first came out, but it's the same thing. Other than that all the games are the same as playstation and playstation always had the Sony made games like gran turismo that killed any Xbox equivalent. So I see no need for them to try and tell me how much better Xbox is. It's not like I'm going to go spend hundreds of dollars on anew system anyway.

As far as I'm reading it, you're absolutely no different than them.

Any muscle mass there? That's what is annoying me, I can work out whenever, although it just makes me sore with slow growing and me always overdoing it, and no results. The only reason I look like I have any muscle is because I'm skinny and it's defined. Also, I know some people like you, tall and skinny, a couple of my supervisors were like that around 19 years old. You're right though, I just hate being scrawny. If anyone ever wants something from me they'll get it, because while I'll try, I can't put up a good fight.
 
I don't get these Xbox vs. Playstation, Halo vs. CoD, all these petty wars in the video game world. Sure it's nice to compare each game, like Forza and GT5, but to start name calling, hating, is just absurd.

What's grinding my gears? Well, it actually makes me laugh, and is a good joke to pull at school, but it's Windows. Everything is connected in the house to the internet, well anything that can, except for my Desktop. It's cable isn't loose, it just won't connect. I click troubleshoot, and eventually get to the point where it says, "Windows is unable to figure out why you have no internet connectivity, please connect to the internet to find our more about the problem." :lol: What the hell? Is that not what I was trying to do in the first place? :lol: Next time it does this, I should just take a picture, send it to Microsoft, and ask why!

I'm not exactly ripped but I'm not usually just bone either. :lol:

Throughout the summer I cycle an immense amount. I'm fit but not muscular, not much bulk if you like, but plenty of power.

I used to life 15kg for 20 minutes each night but after a long time of seeing no improvement I stopped and just kept on cycling. That ground my gears.

If you can image the frame that tour cyclists have, that's what I have; slim build, stocky legs, broad shoulders, skinny arms and waist.

Like this...

Sounds similar to me, I ride my bike all the time to give me something to do. Well it'll work itself out eventually....
 
^ On that note, people who dont know what a lamborghini is but know what a Lambo is :sick:
 
^ Seriously? That's... just sad.

People who say "Lambo" instead of "Lamborghini.". I don't know why, it just does.

Definitely a huge gear grinder. :irked: But then it's funny when they say it's their favorite car or just a car they like and don't know how to spell it. :lol:

I have been known to do that in the past though when in a hurry. :nervous:
I hate it when people use pointless replacement words. Like if you ask for an orange juice you say orange juice. Not 'OJ'.
 
A conversation
:retard:"I want a Lambo some day"
:me: "cool, what Lamborghini?"
:retard: "Dude! Your stupid! I don't want a lamp genie I want that one orange car with the rockin' doors!"
:me: 0__0
 
I don't abbreviate anything, even on a text message I always type to the best of my ability.

I don't mind using terms like Wi-Fi, FPS or Sat-Nav as they make life that little bit easier.
 
I rarely use acronyms of abbreviations. They are misleading. People on the Book of many faces (facebook) keep on saying LMS in their status'. So I said what does the Le Mans Series have to do with your status. And then they go psycho because it actually meant something else.

Also, I have mentioned this before, I don't know. But it grinds my gears so constantly!

I can't stand the poor language people use! They type things that absolutely no one except themselves, and other people who are of the same intelligence can read. It seems every word in the English language has been shortened for some stupid lazy 12 year old who probably claims that they're dyslexic but in reality are actually just stupid. And if you ask what they mean, or say that they've spelt every word wrong they'll contact the mob and you'll be murdered within a week.

Sorry for the rants but today's society has a massive lack of brain power!

A third one.

Today someone said that I should rely on others a little less. This coming from the person that needs me to do something for them or let them borrow something almost every day at school. I make my lunch, 2 days a week I cook my own tea, I find information for homework and school work myself, I bring my own gear, I make my breakfast. I rely on my dad to wake me up in the morning if I need to go somewhere. I wouldn't call that relying on other people too much. Especially if the person saying this is always borrowing things from people and trying to get free food from people because they forgot to make their lunch. Or trying to use someone's headphones because they broke theirs. This kid is just trying to annoy me because I don't let him use my stuff, trying to teach him to be more self reliant without telling him that. But he is obviously not getting the message. HE EVEN FORGET'S TO CLEAN HIS TEETH HALF OF THE TIME, so he tries to get breathe mints off people, or money to buy breathe mints. AARRRGHHH, and he's saying I need to be more self reliant.

I'm editing in again. For the third time in less than an hour... It's not that he's a horrible person, in fact he's a nice person, just sometimes he can be VERY annoying.

People who try to hold up lessons, and act stupid. The other day in my English class (top set) some kid was asked to read out some text. He then proceeded to read it one word at a time like he was 5, and struggled with the pronunciation on extremely simple words. I know he was acting stupid, because this same kid got one of the highest marks in the year for the reading test...
 
I went looking for a book to help me learn Java yesterday. I get to the computing section to find that there is just the one book covering JavaScript (not what I need), but if I'd needed a book to help me use one of Apple's MANY products I had not just books dedicated entirely to each one, but a range of books for each one. Even worse than this though, there was a book twice as thick as the JavaScript book which covered everything you would need to know about Facebook.

It reminds me of that comparison between Steve Jobs and Dennis Ritchie. I don't blame the bookstore for this rant, they are just following supply and demand. But it says a lot about our future if we have people organising meetings, schedules and powerpoints on a phone whilst updating their Facebook status, but not a single person left who can actually program the thing and make it work!
 
The Group Transfer process. Pupik said I had to approve the transfer, but yet it says its already in progress. Yet it hasn't even worked. So how do I approve a thing that doesn't give an option to be approved when it needs to be approved? :mad:
 
Drugs... My brother is more or less killing himself & we get no help from the authorities.
 
When you go to exit a thread, and end up going back to it because you thought it was a new thread! :lol:

Is it Galardo? With little emphasis on the ll's? Or is it Gaiyardo? I hate it when people say Gullardo, though I don't know how to say it my self. I used to say Gullardo when I was younger because I can't really talk all that well. Now I say Gaiyardo.

Not to be nosy, but help from the authorities?

Yes, we want the proper authorities to help us get him into rehab, but they won't help us. I'm not talking about the police. Welfare office??

He can't be forced into rehab, you have to wait until he'll actually consider going. Which does suck, but its necessary.
