Your notes can't be THAT bad. Can they?
My notes from history are just commentary on the teacher and the class in general when she tells me to stop SAYING the commentary out loud, and write my notes. And yet, I get 90s on tests, go figure :/.

I guess most people wouldn't find them too bad, but I feel like they're really sloppy and misshapen.

SILENCE! I got to stop talking to some of my friends as much as I do...

I have a 96 wpm apparently. Probably because I was a RPG gamer, due to frustrated teammates forcing me to type faster.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 1:02 am

I type sooooooo slow
its pretty sad
I actually started this post last week
true story............

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 1:05 am

I believe I type fairly quickly. I usually end up having to look through what I typed to make sure things are spelled correctly and make sense grammatically.

I go grammar-nazi on myself.

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 1:08 am

Playing WoW definitely helped to improve my wpm more than the typing class I took in school. Though I'm not gonna knock the class any; if it weren't for that, I never would've started typing properly and I'd be stuck at my measly 25~ wpm typing face-down one key at a time. :p

But it was the amount of typing I had to do, and how quickly I had to do it, in WoW that really got me as fast as I am nowadays. I haven't really checked my exact wpm in quite a while, but I know that I'm at least 60-ish. Likely a bit higher.

Which courses are you taking?

Mandatory physical fitness class. From what I've heard it's not difficult at all.
Linear algebra. Hopefully I'm not making a mistake taking this in the summer.
I haven't signed up for my courses yet so I might add a computer class or something.

Classes are for CHUMPS.
Wait
actually i'm in an abstract painting class, but I'm not a chump.
Everyone in there is so ollddddd.

So hey guys did you know
A tiger mother lost her cubs from premature labour. Shortly after she became depressed and her health declined, and she was diagnosed with depression. So they wrapped up piglets in tiger cloth, and gave them to the tiger. The tiger now loves these pigs and treats them like her babies.

I don't think "a pig in tiger's clothing" would be a very good expression.

Nature works in mysterious ways, I don't find it silly at all. The tiger is probably trying to fill the void left by her lost cubs.

I'm not saying that the tiger is being silly

I'm saying that pigs wrapped in tiger cloth is silly
one of them even has a little red bow on top. IT IS SIMPLY THE SILLIEST.

are you talking about this one?

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 3:04 pm

I want to know who first had the idea to use pigs
it seems like they'd be more likely to end up as lunch than anything else.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 3:49 pm

yes, that was the tiger raising baby pigs dressed in stripes that I was talking about.

that's what I was thinking.
I guess tigers are easily fooled?

Seems legit

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 9:46 pm

Yeah, there's really no need to "convince" the mother tiger of anything. Animal mothers taking in young not of their own kind is hardly a new thing; even predator to prey, it's not at all unheard of. No costumes required.

It's just a "mother's instinct" kind of thing. They're perfectly aware that they're raising young from an entirely separate species. They just don't particularly care.

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 9:50 pm

So, its less like, "These are my babies, they aren't dead, haahh. I"M NOT CRAZY! WHO"S CRAZY! YOU ARE! AAAAAG!" and more like, "Well, look, kids to raise YAY!"

man, I just practiced parkours and I learned how to drop from Height of 9 feet safely and climbing up 8feet wall.
feel so good and I fell so good too.

That sounds awesome. Wish I could do that.

I'm way too clumsy, if I tried that I would probably end up hurting myself.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 11:32 am

Hahahahaha I could never do that stuff

I will succeed at not failing by not trying.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 12:03 pm

I would like to try that some day, but I really haven't the time.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 12:36 pm

I've always wanted to learn parkour and deal unflinching vigilante justice to unsavory characters, but apparently the legality of that is tenuous at best so that's on hold.

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 12:37 pm

The only thing holding me back from getting into parkour is the area I live in, really. There's just no good places to do it. :/

Best I can hope to do around here is running through random people's backyards, hopping fences as I go. Which is pretty lame. Also, I'd be too scared that somebody would come out of their house and start yelling at me.

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 12:45 pm

I climb my school for fun, but that's as close to parkour as I get.

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 1:47 pm

I think even if I wanted to seriously attempt to parkour I wouldn't be able to. There's nothing I can really parkour off of where I live.

0404 · Post by **0404** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 2:01 pm

I'm not good at parkours, just basics.

I actualy climbed a curch that I go to, to watch a star and moon. Thanks god that No one saw me, and where I live is nonurban wide open lakeside, so there is not much of walls to climb here too.

just found screen capture from my phone, ahh crazy weather here.

That's pretty awesome man! Back in the summer I went to a local high school on the weekend when no one was there and did some jumps and stuff. The biggest one that I did was off this one wall that was probably around 8 or 9 feet high. I jumped out too instead of straight down, so it was a decent jump. I definately made sure to roll after I landed.

You can ruin your knees and feet pretty easily if you don't roll after bigger jumps.
I haven't done any parkour in a long time, so I'm not in any shape to do it at the moment. I'll try to get back into it this summer on my days off. Hopefully I'll learn some new techniques too.

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 11:27 pm

Rolling after falls is literally the most basic parkour you can do, but it's still so satisfying to land a jump from several feet up.

On my old college campus, there was one area with about a 7, maybe 8, foot drop right in between my friends' dorm and the nearest bathroom (it was a girl's dorm, and guys weren't allowed to use the bathrooms). So whenever I had to go, I'd just run across the field, leap off the edge, roll, and keep right on going into the building. So much fun.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 12:14 am

They taught us to roll in taekwondo, but I doubt it's as exhaustive as the rolling training people who learn parkour get.

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 1:37 am

I imagine it's also less damaging to your feet and knees if you don't execute a proper taekwondo roll at just the right moment.
