Yeah, Sorry to hear about that Tawnos.
But i'm sure there are other clans that would be happy to have you in as well
Anyways, here's a quicky for you Cyan. You may request any changes you like.
That's about perfect, I just have a couple requests...you can't really see Psychatog at all, I'd rather have you just remove him and have the other pictures look more prominent. Also, I'd like for the Counterspell to be juxtaposed with the Mana Dragon. And I wanted it to say Cyan inthe upper left corner, with The Called in the lower right..assumedly, they'd both need to be a little smaller lettered than The called is now.
That is awsome Alex:) But do you think you could swith the position of the first cars so you see the green one better? Like put the pink furthur left and bring the green one more right. If it is not to much trouble? THANX
Tawnos, be sure to try again some other time. I think you'd be a fine member of the called, we just didn't have enough time to get to know you.
You betcha! I realize I didn't help myself too much by applying and then taking a two day sabatical from the boards. I got promoted to supervisor at work, and had to put in two straight 10+ hour days to learn some new systems.
*laughs @ Tawnos' sig* Rejected, + proud!! Congrats for the promotion, anyway

Neat Saka, you should post in the hallucinogens thread more often.
r_e, I notice you've free time to post... is it too soon to start bugging you about that trade? :evil2:
*is tempted to just eBay some stuff to force your hand*
Anyone read about the fires here on Tuesday? The Eyre Penninsula isn't very far from where I live. Scary stuff, + despite bushfires being a very real + constant summer danger, a lot of people didn't know what to do *has read one too many burned-alive-in-their-car-stories this week*
BD, have you had a chance to look over www.ninjakitty.org? I now officially offer you webbeassistance, even just mundane stuff like testing. :humble:
What?? Is the voting over? Did Kristen vote? Am I in....you guys go so fast while I sleep over here on the East Coast. Must stay...up....to....follow.....zzzzzzz. Where was I? BD--physics was one of my favorite classes in college. I loved it! It really helps to have great professors. I never baught the text book for either class and had this chick next to me and I would borrow hers for homework. She hated me because I always did well on the tests and she would study so much!! I tried to tell her that she needs to listen to what the professor is saying instead of taking notes the whole time.
Physics and biology---great combo!

I wasn't actually on acid. It was a figure of speech. Anyways, I was unaware Tawnos was applying. I vote for him as well. Too late, though. :/
You didn't know I had applied...yeah, that's the ticket!
That's ok though. Now I know I have your support next go around. I'll just take your name off my little list here. *scribbles on some paper* Oh yeah.....I have a list... :devil:
You know Sean, I did repost the list of applicants, as well as all of the applications, for a reason. *sigh.*
Well, voting was never "officially" over. Just mostly over. That said, with Sean voting for Tawnos, he is now is the same position as jonny. Both have four votes for, out of eight voters. With 9 voters possible, their admittance hinges on Kristina's votes. Unfortuantly, those may not come until at least Tuesday (read "may not" as "Barring a miracle, will not.")
Thus, for both applicants, keep posting until wecome up with a official final vote on you.
On another topic, I dreamt last night (did you know dreamt is the only word that ends with "mt?") that I was in Physics class. Damn I need to get back to school.

That's pretty bad when you dream about being in class. What do you plan to do after school? I work for a very large Engineering Consulting Firm. I've been here for 7 years and could make a phone call or two when the time comes. Hey...any referral is better than none...especially when comes from inside the company;)
jsut a heads up to everyone out there

After school? There is no after school for me. Once I'm done with my Bachelors, it is then time to work on my PhDs. And by the time I finish those, I'll likely be teaching. I shall spend the rest of my days in a place of learning!

That's awsome...I would like to teach High School Earth Science but with 3 kids I gotta keep the bacon comin in! I'm going back to school in the fall for my masters and I get a teaching certificate along with that and I'm hoping to be teaching in 2-3 years!
I know the money is not very good but I love the kids at that age....so easy to manipulate....twist them into liking the sciences...yes.....mold them into my minions to do my bidding!
Where was I?? yeah man teaching....awsome! ~~mucho respecto~~

Back in High school my GPA floated between a 3.6 and 4.0. I never studied or read the books or anything, and I often fell asleep in class. On top of that I also took 9 AP classes. I failed the majority of the AP exams, but I passed the classes well enough. My study habbits didn't change apon college, the result of which is my graduating with a BS with a 2.75 GPA.
A sad thing is, though I'm sad I have a bad GPA, I really don't care. I'm not traumatized or depressed or anything. It's more of a "eh" feeling. But it does make it near impossible to get into any PhD program or Masters program.
Near impossible, though not quite so. I have one chance to get into the Masters program at the UofU. The professor I went to Brunei with likes me and is willing to promote me for a masters possition. With her support I will have a chance. I also need to convince a comittee why I want to get my masters degree, and I can't have some wishy washy "I want to improve myself" responce. And why my GPA is so low.
Blasted corner I'm shoved in...my bad for being lazy in college though. I'm just thinking that I may need a masters degree....I can't seem to get a job without it.

And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know. For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go. I shall never be a prisoner of steel and glass and stone. If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.
Sorry to hear that Daggertooth. BUt on the bright side, you've given me another good reason to be so obsessed with my grades. Next time someone asks me why I care so much about keeping my 4.0 GPA, I'll have yet another good reason to give them.
Funny thing is, I did the opposite of you. I had horrible grades in high school. I barely kept it about a 3.0 while taking three classes that counted as a max of 5.0. It wasn't until college that I ever cared about my grades. My study habits never changed, as I've never had any, but how much I cared did.

There were some classes I cared about quite a bit. I wanted so much to do good in my vertebrate morphology class. I studdied harder than I ever did before. Stayed after school for hours with a wolf skull in my hand trying to memorize all the holes. But in the end I bairly pulled a C. That one actualy made me mad.
I suppose I do have another option. Consider my C's as personal failures and go back and retake those classes to get an A in them. That means I would be retaking a little under a third of my college classes......wow, putting it that way really shows how bad I suck. Maybe this Bachelor of Science I just got isn't worth as much as I thought.

Yeah, I gathered that. I was, how you say, playing along. :slant:
Anyways, I was unaware Tawnos was applying.
Slaaaaack. I propose regular whippings to improve Clan discipline! Saka, this is a joke
All this school jabber is cracking my happy!! My darling wife just finished up her Bachelor of Visual Arts Honours program not too long ago, + was mopey about her 5.~ GPA... we've finally moved past that...+ now it's Clan School Woes. Well, I am a lousy student. I hate homework, + I have never been much for class participation. I like to read though... + although I know I could benefit from some tutelage in painting technique, I think I am happy just slogging it out, + continue learning the slow/hard way. I took a drawing class a year+a half ago, + the prof was a goon. He'd say "Draw the ceiling!" + then dissapear for 45 minutes. Didn't increase my enthusiasm any, I can tell you that.

My sis-in-law was BS'ing, but really she was bs'ing herself - I think she just wanted the school allowance, rather than get a job. Trading debt later for cash in pocket now... yecch. :mr. yuk:
Anyway. Good luck with your Masters application! ...if that's what you really want

I took an elective class in high school called "Film Noir." The entire class focused on analyzing classic detective films. What a cool class that was. All we'd do is sit in class and watch the old school Basel Rathbone Sherlock Holmes flicks, and then write up a paper on them. I tell ya I was very sad the day that class ended.

I'm off until Sunday, when I work a 12 hour day. Monday as well, and then a 12 hour night shift on Tuesday.
.
That's about perfect, I just have a couple requests...you can't really see Psychatog at all, I'd rather have you just remove him and have the other pictures look more prominent. Also, I'd like for the Counterspell to be juxtaposed with the Mana Dragon.

What mana dragon?
I hope this helps.
And finnaly! Here you go Sparhawk!

Thanks for the warm welcome Sak. Missed you too bro. My gamertag on Halo2 is my screen name on AIM, which is in my profile
Either no one wants me here, or everyone ignored my application post. Typical though, I must say, I don't think Binary Dragon likes me much. Sighs.
Anyways, I had finals today, again...and it sucks...I have a solid C in AP Calc...now you all know why I'm going into Law and Pyschology...:D
You didn't know I had applied...yeah, that's the ticket!
That's ok though. Now I know I have your support next go around. I'll just take your name off my little list here. *scribbles on some paper* Oh yeah.....I have a list... :devil:
