Lived in Oldenburg :-) and love it there, also love Munich.

I just got an email from my best friend from fourth grade when I lived in Germany. He facebooked me and found me---- CRAZY.

My families (houses in VT and NV) both had the non-side-by-side refrigerators. My dad requested it for his custom kitchen. My mom moved to a new house and ended up with one that was side-by-side and hates it/swears at it on a regular basis. I also don't like the side-by-side ones but I don't really cook and I think all three of my parties would definitely agree to spend the extra money on the fridge and get the extra space and better lay out.

I'm writing down Saturday June 9th BBQ at a Campground and whoever wants to stay can spend the night and do fun stuff like kayaking or fishing?? Campground location needs to be put forth assertively instead of maybe this or that because then we will never agree

How about somewhere next weekend? If I am not in Germany I have a wedding to avoid (as in I decided not to go and it would get very boring up here in VT all by myself)

Last night we put a humping dog on an ex-NSA code crackers head.

I'm in Vermont right now I hope you don't have to move though. Even if you'll have a mountain fifteen minutes away you will still be living in the middle of nowhere. Maybe that is what you are looking for after Sacramento but I like being close to good airports and ethnic foods. Also, driving two hours to get to Tahoe is totally worth the terrain and snow conditions compared to fifteen minutes for dirt. (sorry bad season) What the post was ACTUALLY about and to stay in line with the thread (sorry) is that as of twenty minutes ago I am now done with the Spring Semester. and happy happy happy

To all the people who check Bomber more than calling their mothers (all of us?) :-) Remember its Mother's day and you've got a few more hours to make that call

I had a great night last night Non PC Quote of the night: R: You look like you need a pillow. We don't have pillows. Want a hanger?? M: Why would I need a hanger? I'm not pregnant.

I had an interview today. If it went well I will be working in another environment full of young female professionals.

Bob he was referring to me and Ais I think in the OT thread :-) We missed you

I miss Bob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Know nothing about steel reserve except apparently the people on ski team drink it. (BTW- im now a captain of ski team )

If people have been paying any attention they already know where I live. Actually I just checked on my school's page: it shows not only my mailing address but the room I live in! What a crank.

Go figure... What, she is like the only female one right?

Ok honestly people, Northern California is awesome and should be treated as an entirely different state and culture from Southern California. Much less fake boobies and suburbanite soccer moms.

Dave, was the girl a Brandeis alumn? Sometimes the Brandeis chicas can be hairy. Q: If you aren't 'feeling it' anymore ... how often can you get 'it' back?

What about relationships where the beginning was nothing but difficult but set the ground rules. Can you recover from being with someone that brings the worst out of you? If you, acknowledging this, re-start and re-define your relationship and both work really hard to make it work is it possible or would it be better to just let it go even though, at that point, you can only go up?

Out of finals May 12th

These shootings are finally starting to sink into my head. I heard mention of "school shootings" in class on Monday yet did not know what was being referred until I went online several hours later that evening. Yesterday I read a few articles on the shooting and even watched some videos. Today I read some more articles. I also wrote in the book our school has lying out on a table that we will send to Virginia Tech. One of my friends told me that she had no clue about what happened until her professor started crying in class. He told them what had happened and just said how much they meant to him and how much he loved them. I don't think this tragedy has really hit home. Many students are slightly shocked but we are so removed, and so much in our own world. We are busy with classes and really haven't talked about the subject. The President and various other members of the community have sent us e-mails, but those generally get ignored anyway. My thoughts: I am one of those people that will tell you "they will go to a good place, don't worry about them" and will also include Cho in the group. This means I believe that we all learn the truth, or see our wrongs at some point even if it is after life. I don't believe that there is a soul that can not see truth and can not understand what is good. I guess this means that I believe all souls re salvageable. My thoughts would not draw a distinction for where Cho is going and where his victims are going. I don't differentiate between him as an evil person or evil doer, or sinful person and the victims. I see them all as human, and some just snap and don't have the support structure available to them to prevent this from happening. This is a tragedy but sometimes we do the best we can. The other thought I had looked at my role in the greater picture. I as a person tend to give people more chances than others. I tend to be there for them when they no longer have faith in systems. I usually have to win their trust over as other systems fail. Sometimes my actions put me at emotional risk and danger. Sometimes I find guys feeling bitter towards me because they felt I led them on because I was willing to listen and I actually cared yet they felt stabbed in the back when I had to reject them romantically. Then there are other students who go through this pain, but also come to realize that I might be the only person there for them. They fight back and try to force me into abandoning them the way everyone else has and somehow I manage to stay there. Since you are close to me you have heard stories about some of these guys. You know that I love them and really do care for them. You may have also seen me cry when I just get so emotionally attached that their self destructive behaviour hurts me as well. One of these friends got kicked out of Brandeis. I believe that because of his reputation here at school (which is really quite bad actually) and in light of the recent events, he will never be let back here again. I think that we may see a wave of rejections from schools regarding students that have been forced into counseling, and then put on academic probation- I think fewer and fewer of them will be allowed to return- thus creating another system that will let them down. I also hope that people realize how much listening to someone and seeing them as another human being when others might fail can make a difference. If you can open yourself up to someone's frustrations or tears, and just be there you may help them through that spot where they have the option of snapping and lashing out, or breaking and seeking help. If you can keep it in your heart to be open minded and loving towards people that you might have shunned before, you may find yourself helping someone that truly needed it. There is an emotional risk involved, and there is the risk of them lashing out at you- although usually, once they realize you arent going to **** them over like everyone else has, they realize that they are grateful and finally have someone important whom they can trust. This is particularly important for young people to remember as we generally have weaker support systems- so the support of a stranger can be needed so much more. I suppose what I am asking of you, is that in your conversations reflecting on the Virginia Tech shootings you maintain an open mind. Don't gossip about the "shooter" as an evil person, but think of all the other people out there that need support and help. Cho got help and support but it was not effective. Nobody knows what kind of support is effective and there is no universal- but it has been my finding that if you are open minded and respectful, you will provide the space for someone to talk who really needs to. If you make jokes about "****ed up Asians" or "weird" or "challenged" people (and we all do) you may be shutting someone off. Practice compassion and love, especially towards those who are "socially awkward" or "uncomfortable"- they are humans too. Love, Tonja

..considering law school

Just wondering if there are any lawyers in the carving community. I know at one point we established that quite a few of the carvers were somehow involved with technology related positions. If there are any lawyers, how predominant are they in the forums? On the slopes?

My vote goes in favor of a barbeque- maybe camping or something although I don't have a tent. I'm a bit more hesitant about water related activities for now- Probably because im clumsy and would end up getting hurt one way or another

Middle of the road. I actually used to be very shy with my few friends and that was it. Now I know tons of people, go to parties, and make new friends all the time. They don't believe me when I tell them I used to be shy either. I also get very irritable and anxious when I don't have my ME time.

I know two couples that decided they would never have kids. One of them (the other involves my step-mom so its not really one hundred percent applicable because she has us now) I met through the ski club in Cali. They go skiing ALL of the Time and have a blast. They love children, children love them, but they clearly said that they wanted to live their life this way and for THEM. Plus, its a TWENTY PLUS year commitment unless you plan on being one of those parents that kicks them out of the house at Eighteen and they are on their own for the higher ed. I dont know Allee but I think that she knows all of the arguments people say for having kids and understands them. Its just a matter of assessing your lifestyle and priorities in life. If spawning isnt it then alright
