=lacrosse. not NEARLY enough padding/protection for the amount of shit you get into. and making physically whacking another player as hard as you can with an aluminum rod WITHIN THE RULES doesn't make matters better. at least in hockey there are rules, and when you bodyslam (check) someone, you've got enough padding on and you can slide away on the ice. my friend got knocked under the chin with the stick and his head separated from his neck. we all thought he was paralyzed from the neck down for several hours. and then in next week's game, someone was knocked unconscious and someone on the other team broke both their arms. i get very worried about my friends when i watch games. cool sport, though, i guess. i forgot its pretty much a northeast american thing. it's virtually unheard of in some parts of the country. you have to see a hockey game someday!

eh, but you can get most of the coolest things in the UK as well! dippin' dots, though, is one of the most amazing things ever. i have a thing for severely messing up thread subjects today. i need to learn to just make my own damn threads and stop hijacking others.

i think it's supposed to be natural, but i could be entirely wrong. NYC is not all it's cracked up to be IMO. anyone ever have dippin' dots? that stuff is SO COOL!

hockey is not suicide!! it's the best sport there is :cool: now lacrosse, that's suidide. more injuries in that sport than any other, at least in my experience. my friend almost died last year.

i think its a bit odd as well, even though it's the norm in this country. we got real food at my school as well, and we ate it at tables with waiters (go on, laugh). the problem was that if you didn't pay the $5000 a year for it, you starved because you weren't allowed to bring lunch. and this didn't even include breakfast! it was a rip off because the food wasn't even very good. AND we never got pringles. which made me very sad.

ewww, you can EAT that stuff?! i'm a bit of a stationery nerd, and i have a friend that eats paper, but NO. i had a fountain pen period as well, but they're expensive to buy and keep up, and smudges bother the HELL out of me. i don't even write in pencil anymore because the smudges get to me. blue ballpoint is the only thing i really use anymore. well, on a regular basis, anyway. *back to topic* (what is with me and going off topic today?!) pringles mini's are pretty good, but i find that they're too thick to be like real pringles

^i think it's only an LA thing. i've only heard of it on a creditcard commercial, but it's supposed to be ubertrendy. it looks really fancy, though, meaning expensive. oh, wait, wiki says we have it in NYC, but i didn't know that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkberry

only made you vomit?!?! my god, i would say that's MUCH worse than what i had! yeah, it hurt not being able to smile or laugh for weeks, but vomiting is the absolute worst in my book. i'll do anything to avoid throwing up. my mom was on acne medications when she was our age, and they destroyed the enzymes in her stomach so now she's severely lactose intolerant.

^heh, thanks :D still slightly worries me, though. i'm a bit off, at least by teenage standards. maybe it'll get better when everyone around me grows up. better pickings once they're out of their crazy-ass drunken, risk-taking phases.

eeek, 3.50 pounds for ice cream?! that's SEVEN DOLLARS here. my god. hey, do you guys have coldstone creamery in the UK? just wondering; it's kind of a big deal here now, but i think it's pretty overrated. and REALLY expensive. i have a really, really small stomach. i feel really sick if i eat too much, so finishing a thing of ice cream in three days is a big accomplishment :P

nonexistent. but i'm ok with that. for now anyway. if that situation lasts into my mid-20's to my 40's, then i'm going to start thinking there's something seriously wrong with me.

mmmm, blue lake 40! :laugh4:

oh, that's terrible! :bigcry: i didn't get mocked too much, i guess, but it just made me feel terrible about myself, which is half the game. and all the different medications were adventures in themselves. one made my mouth literally crack at the corner, and another made me so sensitive to cold that i couldn't even open the fridge without screaming in pain. i know lots of guys that should cover it up. my brother has in the past, which i think is fine.

they're not even very good questions. i guess they're made for kids that bring them in their lunches or whatever, but i was quite disappointed in the quality of the questions. they should make them like the snapple cap things! then i would be more comfortable eating food with writing on.

then again, concealer doesn't always work so well. believe me, i know. but i do know a guy or two that has used it in secret, and i think that's fine. acne made middle school quite painful for me, so i would figure for guys that can't cover it up, it would be even worse. EDIT: briggs, i really have to stop reading what you write. i die every time and get the worst looks from people.

what about those lays "stax" chips? i know people that like them better than pringles. which i think is a sin. what copiers. briggs, your quote made me laugh like no other. my roommate looked at me funny. oh oh, and has anyone seen pringles prints? i got REALLY freaked out this summer when i opened one of those single-serve packets and there was WRITING on them. they taste the same, but it weirds me out a little.

i often think it's a bit unfair that it's considered unacceptable for guys to wear concealer or something. i mean, they get zits as well, but we're the only ones that are allowed to cover them up. ridiculous.

i have a close circle of friends, all of which i call my best friends, even though there's about eight of them. but we've all grown up together, and i've known some of them since i was four years old. it's really hard being away from them now that we're all at different unis. in high school, i just kind of went around in different groups and didn't really rank how i liked those people over others. but i'd say i have four best friends that i love "the most," i guess, though i feel bad saying that. one i've known since i was four and she was six, alex, and she's the nicest person you'll ever come across ever. i feel like she gets me quite well, but even when i'm positive that she doesn't understand where i'm coming from, she says she does anyway. i just love that she's so unjudgemental, because everyone else in the world seems to think i'm a bit insane (which i am) and like to take the mickey out of me for it. the other three are this INSANE bunch of guys who are all best friends with each other and are the most hilarious people i've ever met. for some odd reason, they let me into their little cirlce and i love them for it, even though i'm often the odd one out because i'm the girl. all the others i do love, but they annoy the CRAP out of me so much sometimes that i want to strangle them. they're either so superficial or so judgemental or so obnoxious that i have to move to a different circle for a while to stand it. in that way, it's nice to have a break from them after being with them pretty much every day of my life for 13 years straight. but i still miss them like hell.

yes, how the HELL would you transport ice cream?! it was hard enough getting it from the store to my dorm. emily, how can you never have had a ben & jerry's?! their flavor combinations and names are incredible, but for once the taste actually lives up to its hype. it's my favorite out there, and i dont feel too too bad eating a container in like 3 days because theyre smaller than average ice cream containers.

for once it seems that the US has the most boring flavors. PRAWN FREAKING COCKTAIL?! i would never eat it, but you would expect us crazies over here to think up that one. there were some similarly disgusting ones as well, but i have to say that paprika really sounds good. must make a note of that one. i pretty much exclusively eat original, but i like them all (well, all the normal ones). i can tear through them, though. i seem to never get full of pringles. i've only eaten maximum one tube in one sitting, but i could probably pack away three with ease. GAH, i just love pringles. one of my friends gave me them for my birthday (with other things...)because i love them that much. i guess i'm lucky in that there aren't any foods that rhyme with "gilchrist"

i almost bought phish food too, but then i saw this and HAD to have it, if only for the john lennon connection. but ohmygod, after eating a few bites...this is my new favorite flavor EVER. i can't remember enjoying ice cream more than this. ohh, i'm going to regret all my junk-food escapades today. but i suppose the excuse is easter. i just don't think i was supposed to eat most of the candy in the easter basket my mom sent me AND go out to buy ice cream in one day :uhoh:

ohmygod, pringles are one of my favorite foods EVER, no contest. semy, this thread makes me laugh because yesterday (or was it friday?) during our conversation, i HAD to eat pringles because we were talking about them. i ate half a tube! and then i realized you said you were eating paprika flavor, which we don't have in the US!! it got me wikipedia-ing pringles and all the INSANE flavors out there...well, see for yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pringles aww, single pringle? i apologize for laughing at that. but really. gah, now i want pringles AGAIN. but i'm eating ice cream right now, so i really shouldnt.

because of this thread, specifically that picture on the last page, i just HAD to go out and buy this: the caramel-lover and the beatle-lover in me is quite happy right now :nice:

not to hiijack a thread, but since you asked...:P :sneaky: well, ice hockey is HUGE in my family and i've been skating since i was about three, so i've had lots of time to have nasty accidents. i've slit open my leg with my own skate a fair number of times, torn some clothes, and gotten a bit of a skate-to-the-face on one occasion (though that wasn't too bad--i've heard worse stories). i also broke (well, seriously injured) my tailbone at my 11th birthday by being knocked over by a friend who couldn't skate properly. my brothers and my dad have some worse stories, though, of major concussions and stitches and all sorts of stuff. i suppose that's what they get, playing hockey 5 days a week. my brother once SLEPT with his new skates in bed with him because loved them so much, and surprisingly did not end up finely minced. but the grossest part about hockey-related injuries is that...blood bounces on ice. well, a little. it's not like a superball or anything, but it kind of skips a little on the surface before landing. *end of unrelated topic*

my parents mention how cluttered it is, but rarely do they cause a stink about it. what bothers me though is when my mom is vacuuming, she'll take all the stuff off the floor and throw it onto the bed, therefore ruining my "organization system." i generally remember where i put things down, but once she moves them, all bets are off. i like this thread too! i think its because i like seeing other peoples' rooms.
