1. NO idea how you could manage
8. counter terrorism sounds pretty interesting, that like black ops training?
9. can you really make a living doing that? My aunt (who is still a teacher) is trying to 'go pro', actually won a trip to vegas to compete and was on poker channel

What happened?

We moved to the Colorado Rockies and the area we moved to was a total blackout zone for any type of digital communications. We could get a Dish for TV, but no cell phones, cable, DSL, dial-up, etc. Just nothing available in the area at all. All of our neighbors were fine with it, but it drove us a little nuts. Still, we had the most amazing views from every window in the house.

1- It is kind of like being stuck indoors for a really long period of time. You get a little stir crazy, but you can manage. It is the big reason we broke our lease and moved though.

8- LOL no black ops training. We are talking analysis.

9- I'm not making huge money right now with it and of course it can fluctuate quite a bit, but I will probably end up in the $25k to $30k area at the end of the year after taxes and everything. So I can help pay the bills, but I'm not buying a private jet anytime soon. The big thing for me is that I get to do something I love and I get to spend time with my kids.

[Member243850]

I am game

1) I have serious mental stability issues. I have manic depression and schizophrenia supposedly thats what they say but I am not 120% sometimes.

2) I have attempted suicide before but failed twice.

3) Have almost been killed 3 times in my life span but not by me but by other means.

1st time was in Zimbabwe in the Zambezi river when I was a 12 year old lightie and almost became a 4 metre (4m) crocodile's dinner for that night. I escaped by the skin of my teeth and I am lucky to be alive today.

The 2nd time was when an elephant also in Zimbabwe almost killed me when I was also 12 years and almost crushed me into a nice mushy pile of human goo.

3rd time I got shot by a ****ing dick head and almost died for about a R100 rands or in your USA currency a pathetic and measly 15 dollars about. Yes... very very very sad.

4) I love my dog Jessie and she means everything to me. She makes me smile. I love her to bits.

5) I think I am addicted to my medication now because I have been on it for so long (7 Years give or take roughly).

6) I like computers and creating things. I love creating and comming up with new ideas concepts like the "Perfect Ball Bearing Technique".

7) I like to crack crappy jokes and make people laugh but usually fail awesomely

8) I have lost my best friend to a very heavy drug addiction and couldn't save him.

9) I hate my country like you could never believe and wish it would just get it over with and just kill itself asap because I can't take it any more.

10) I love animals so much. I have had 3 Staffy doggys in my life. They have all been very very very smart dogs.

11) I like science and history.

12) I can be quite a depressing sack of poop at times and get angry and overloaded and make everyone depressed around me. I then try to escape but end up going around in circles.

13) I like Video Games and think they are awesome.

I guess that is it.

[gallandof]

1. I am a compulsive liar, not because I like to seem different, but because I find amusement in the fact that most of society is so willing to take what you say as absolute truth at first meeting (had my previous employer convinced I was a millionaire at the age of 18 and only worked out of boredum on day 1)
2. I have 0 motivation to improve myself, but am always willing to give others advice. Im so bad that I openly admit my faults but refuse to change them
3. I was raised (kind of, she was never around on weekends and worked a full time job weekdays and nights) by a single mother who had me when she was 17. Have never met my birth father (nor seen a picture or know his name)
4. I have really bad father figure issues, and refuse to take direction/rules/duties, from men who are in a position of power (gets me in tons of trouble at work, and home since i live with my grand parents)
5. I lost a full scholarship to Boston College my senior year. (left a state level track meet where I was seeded top 3 for all my events, to go to prom. Got kicked off of team, so couldn't compete in nationals, regional and a national decathalon)
6. I have been dating my current girlfriend for 6 years now(just one week ago, we started dating october 10th), we started dating my sophmore year of highschool, I graduated in 2008. We both have full intetnions of getting married and having three kids, but are waiting because we are still young
7. I am a huge car, computers,and cooking fan. (have enough basic knowledge in all of them to get a decent job in any field)
8. I dislike being an american very much, not because of how the country is run, but more so because this country has gotten such a negative image to it that I find it sickening
9. I have horrible eating habits that will more than likely lead to many more health complications/sickness sooner rather than later (I only eat 1 small meal a day, have severe acid reflux and am borderline bulimic/anorexic(food has 0 interest to me and I only eat because I know i need to, and I can't eat much with out vomiting it back up wether willfully or not). I am a 6'2" tall male and only weigh around 120lbs)
10. I have next to no emotion. honestly the only emotion I can say ive ever felt was and is love. I've seen people die, and didn't even blink. when I moved out of my house my mom was in tears crying and I just shrugged said bye and left (I have tons of respect for my mother, I just can't stand my stepdad/her husband). But I do know that I love my girlfriend and she is what keeps me a stable human-being.

extra credit!-I think Stinky is a genius, but being stuck in that cockroaches body is really hindering him

1. I think Stinky is a genius but that cockroach body is really slowing him down
