Remember the crazy VT Korean killer? I stumbled upon this Wikipedia article and I was amazed by the similarities between Seung-hui Cho and me. Lo and behold: It's bizarre how his biography reminds me so much of my own. It makes me wonder if anyone who knew me in elementary school, middle...

You'd be surprised. Even ninth-graders have been caught liking the Jonas Brothers, although that was a couple years ago. They may not want to admit to having ever liked the JB now.

I'm supposed to perform a few Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers songs to impress a bunch of elementary school kids. The problem is I have no idea which songs are generally well-known and which songs are known only to avid fans. Technically I could ask those kids straight-out which songs that they...

Diabetes can't be cured. Diabetes Type 2 can be treated or controlled by taking insulin, losing weight, and eating a healthy diet, but it can't be cured or reversed. Once the damage has been done, it's been done. The cause if diabetes itself is not known - how can you cure something whose cause...

Fastweb.com completely failed me. I had more luck getting a scholarship that was actually offered by my college.

I don't know, I think English can be hilarious enough as it is: http://www.area51newmexico.com/newspaper.php

I just logged in to an old social networking account of mine, and I discovered that half of my former friends/acquaintances from way back when have replaced pictures of themselves with pictures of their babies. So instead of having vaguely familiar faces on my friends list, I now have a bunch of...

As teenager (or a young adult, or whatnot), three forces influence your decisions: parents, peers, and, the media. I don't suppose your parents one day woke you up and encouraged you to smoke pot. Likewise, the just-say-no movement was at its strongest at the time you started. One can only...

If they're so intelligent, why did they begin to smoke pot in begin with? I suppose it's hard to come with a universal definition of "intelligent," but I always consider "being above peer pressure" as part of being intelligent. Especially since pot is illegal, and doing something illegal...

Evolution can't always eliminate "undesirable traits," but it does reduce the number of those with the traits to such a small number. Homosexuality actually does make sense in light of evolution, since only 1% of men and up to 3% of women are really, truly gay. (I'm pretty sure someone one can...

It doesn't have much to do with this forum... specifically. And yes, it's more complicated than I can explain.

I was pretty good at not taking insults personally when I was about 20, but over the years (what with my anxiety issues and whatnot) I've become more and more sensitive to criticism. I've gotten to the point where I stay away from insulting people not because I've suddenly become a nice and...

Here's the deal: I'm horrible at replying to e-mails. I don't always have the energy to read an incoming message, so I'd put it off and put it off (while pretending to have a life and whatnot) until days pass by and a late reply seems more inappropriate than no reply at all. So I end up never...

I think when it comes down to it, I seem to always be at the right place at the wrong time or vice versa. I think it hurts more knowing I could've had the life I've always wanted if it weren't for incredibly bad timing than if, for example, it's something that you have NO chance of having to...

No, I never "made a move" on anyone. The one time someone "made a move" on me, I didn't respond and gradually stopped talking to him. Since then on, I never put myself in a position where anyone would "make a move" on me. (Yes, I blame that person for my fear of romance and everything else...

Looks like the secret's out. Edit: This message has been edited for obviously offensive content. What's obvious to most isn't obvious to me, but otherwise it's pretty obvious.

If the purse is big enough to fit a book or two, I can understand how convenient carrying a purse can be since a book obviously can't fit into your pocket. However, I've seen purses that are so tiny I'm surprised a wallet can even fit into them. I seriously don't understand: what is the purpose...

Every now and then I come across someone who holds this position, and I seriously don't understand: what's the deal with that? Isn't marriage basically a commitment for two people to be together until one of them dies (at least in theory)? Why is there so much fear of actually being married...

Well, I'm telling you now: it's sad. God created Jacko so we could laugh at him, not so we could know things about him. Want to know things about one of the most famous people in the world? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler Now he's worth the intense dedication.

How come people know so much about whether or not Michael Jackson was a pedophile? This is even sadder than my knowing who Selena Gomez is. :(
