  1. The word 'billy' is a blight on the otherwise faultless Australian idiom. Just call it a bong, fuck sake. I do have another question. Why is editing posts so difficult on this forum when using a mobile?
  2. What is/was your preferred method of cannabis consumption? If you say "I like billys" or "I like those joints you get at dodgy servos", then I might have to take drastic action.
  3. Alright, Spike Do you like Rufus, the band Do you like Tyler, the Creator Why haven't you listened to section.80 yet Do you think that alcohol is a horrible poison How are things with R.A. How did your friends and family take it when you said you were going to America to meet your girlfriend whom you had met on a forum of about 20 posters
  4. It's difficult to be motivated for uni. Really difficult. I fucking hate it, I've barely learned anything from uni that's related to what I want to do, which is write biography. I love studying people - significant historical figures. My interest in history as in analysing a period of time or societal trends isn't really there, I only study it to provide context so I can better understand the circumstances of a personality. This has been yet another delayed self-discovery I made in recent months but nearly 3 years in it's late to do much about it. I can make a comparison with studying economics if it's of help. What I'm doing right now is the historical equivalent of macroeconomics: looking at the bigger picture, looking at organisations and governments instead of individuals; basically studying without any specific focus. What I want to do is study at a microeconomic level - look at the people who made the times (and why they made them so) rather than the times people made, if I'm making any sense. Macro-history is useful for context but otherwise I have little interest in it. People on the other hand are absolutely fascinating. People who amassed significant political capital during their lives are even more fascinating - examining how and why a personality develop the way it did is what I'm about. Biography isn't a discipline in itself, it must go through the framework of history and in this country, you don't qualify to be one unless you graduate with honours. This is the source of a great indecisiveness in me. The requirements to study honours in history at my uni are fairly well within my grasp. But because I don't like the way history is taught and because I don't like the campus life, I want to transfer to another university, one that has a substantially better humanities faculty and programme than where I go today; and one that has a much more friendly campus. The people at my uni are from my observation, extremely bland and boring, superficial, narrow minded and in general, not people I would like to get to know. The problem is that the honours requirements at the place I would like to go are certain to be far steeper. In addition there are far more students at top end of the Bell Curve so my competition will be fiercer. So I don't know what to do - back myself to elevate my current writing ability by a substantial amount or go down the easy but infuriating path. It's a tough decision. It's also made tougher by the uncertainties surrounding the government-funded student loan in Australia at the moment. Right now I am exempt from having to pay the proposed (have they passed the Senate yet?) changes to rates and will remain so until I complete my Bachelor's. Honours will probably be charged at the new rates no matter where I go. But if I transfer to a new institute then I'm not sure what will happen. I may lose my exempt status and be forced to pay the new rates which are American Ivy League style exorbitant - $16000 per year to study history (for fuck's sake!) charged at credit card interest rates. I may become saddled with debt entering a profession that's hardly lucrative.
  5. Do you like alcohol or do you only drink when socially expected to?
  6. You've aged a lot recently. In a good way because you look early 20s now whereas before you looked like a tall 16 year old
  7. Vodka will straight fuck you up, who cares which sex it's associated with
  8. You might as well drop out and get a job I kinda have to stay at uni, without qualifications I won't be able to enter my field at any level
  9. So does one of my best friends He knows an ice dealer though. That guy is fucked up. He can't have any sort of relationship with his customers to begin with.
  10. How old are you? She say 22, I say 23, ok then we all crack babies
  11. Mate I'm near 21 now, you knew me at 18. I've grown up a lot. And drugs and having too many ethnic friends I still do massive posts every now and again. Just not on here because there isn't much on TC that irritates me enough to bother. Sorry for jacking your hotseat
  12. What's the quickest you've been in a car
  13. Imagine the wanted level you'd get on GTA if you killed the president
  14. Just think about that. They assassinated the leader of a nation of one billion. A nation that has dozens of nuclear warheads. They make any Arab/Israeli terrorist crew look like John Citizens. And neither they nor the ethnic group they came from faced a smackdown anywhere near as to what's happening in Palestine today. I don't want to hear some whiny 'oh they're attacking us!' shit. Hamas' "attacks" are like a mosquito bite to a war elephant. Come back on them when they actually do something significant.
  15. Terrorists they may be, but they're firing popguns to the Israeli assault rifle. They aren't enough of a threat to have to go all out like this. This is worse than what the Sri Lankan government did to Tamils during the Civil War - and they were up against the LTTE too, who were so fierce a terrorist organisation (they had the wherewithal to assassinate both Presidents of India and Sri Lanka, these guys are serious) as to make even al-Qaeda irrelevant.
  16. He's afraid to smoke because Brazilian weed is laced with all kinds of shit
  17. Hungry for anything unhealthy and if nutrition can help me I'll tell you to suck my dick and continue eating We speeding on the 405 passing Westchester You know the light skinned girls in all the little dresses, good Lord
  18. Shutup I'm dark coffee and you're a Brazilian cocktail but we go together fine
  19. Maybe @ should put me in the hotseat so all you noobs get to know me
  20. I can't exactly do that because he did show up (but still stood me up). It's pretty complicated to explain. I'll PM you
