lots of shit man.

NG got an audio portal, where audio artists can upload their own music and flash artists can download it and put it into their movies/games.

There was a big ass redesign in 2007, you may have noticed. They basically rebuilt the entire site from the ground up.

there's an art portal now, where you can upload your original art. You can even state it is a character or background for flash artists to use too.

the old crowd is still alive. I follow biteme on twitter. he's doing photography now and is always tweeting about shiz. painbringer still pops by every day to deposit too. He may not post, but he's still around.

I'm in my 3rd year of university. I graduate next May and I have a high GPA, who'd of thunk it? I am also applying to law school, how non-slackerish, huh?

meh. so long as you show up in a bathrobe and slouch in your seat the whole time at school it'll be good. haha. some mod got hacked last night and mass chaos ensued. they deleted like 300 threads and banned everyone that posted in them. that shit is just ridiculous. i've NEVER heard of preteen kids who are obviously much cooler than me trying to "take down" a flash website. LOOK OUT ALBINOBLACKSHEEP! YOU'RE NEXT! if somebody knows one of these fags you should probably throw them in a fire.

i know it. it'd be cool for it to be big again but..... so much work....

I would love to join this club, I slack off everday. Sometimes when I slack off, I have to take a shower to feel clean.

sweet. i was going through some of the older posts in the ocp and i was laughing my ass off. i see why it got blocked now. we talked ALOT about nothing. haha. but it was very fun nothing to talk about. and fyi i wouldn't act to be anything less than a devout follower of multiple asians. you never know when bruce may be watching...

Wouldn't it be great if Bruce Lee was a Slacker? Not only would he not be watching us, but he'd also join up too! We need moar asians, and not the Jackie Chan sell-out kind :P

indeed the asian demographic is very important. however given the topic and how asians are notoriously getting ridiculously good grades then working 20 hours a day at a car factory or a sweat shop, i doubt we're gonna see too many asian people come in here and say dude. i don't want to do anything physical ever again. biteme was one of a kind. haha.

meh. it's about that time of day. i have to go to shit ass work now. makes me so happy. i cannot wait to go to college. everything is gonna be a free ride then... no worries, no responsibilities.. ugh. anyways i'm off like a prom dress. oh and for old times sake.

i can't believe i'm posting with a lame ass alt i made years ago. fuck me. it seems like the general forum is the only one getting hit with shit though. this is the place to be. haha.

hey mal, i got in touch with ben and i've been talkin to him for a while. i forgot you guys lived in vancouver. i'm headin up there this winter to go ride at whistler. i drove from alaska to georgia and i swung through there along the way this summer. i wanna see it in winter when there's actually some pow. if it goes through we all gotta go grab a beer though.

I visited Vancouver once, but I live on the other side of the continent and in a different country. I'd like to go back to Whistler though, spent a spring break skiing there (that was when I visited with Ben and co)

I do like slacking at school and hanging out with friends

oh really? he made it sound like you lived there. i was there in late may of this year. blackcomb was closed and whistler really didn't have too much going on as far as jumps and stuff. i went down to mt. hood, oregon the next day though and i was pretty damn impressed. i'm gonna do what i can to head up through whistler again around february. i wanna go through when it's not summer. haha. and for the guy who just posted and reminded me of this club, feel free to join in the conversation. i'd like to have one good one in here again before i die. :)

I went up in April so there was still plenty of skiing left. I stayed in the highest hotel up Blackcomb mountain and could ski from the hotel down to the lift. The weather was in the 70s almost every day, so the snow was pretty wet and heavy, but it was pretty awesome being really high up in a T-shirt and skiing so late in the season.

Here on the east coast, we're done by mid-April if we're lucky. There's sometimes a few days into May. Mount Washington in NH has Tuckerman's Ravine which is pretty much back-country hike-in stuff but it's so popular it's like hiking into a party. Folks camp there and the forest rangers have a first aid tent on busy days.

Ever had to study for a long tedious final and you don't want to? :\

Riding in a t-shirt is definitely a cool experience. It sucks at the same time though because the snow isn't powder when it's that warm, it's slush. And that shit stings like a bitch when it bounces off your skin going fast enough. Haha. Especially at whistler because it is indeed a tall ass mountain.

I've always wanted to go ride there. I've heard the terrain parks there are usually bad ass and there's a lot of big time riders that come out of the area, so it's got to have something going for it. Camping and riding would be a hell of a time though. The closest I've come to that was sleeping in my car close to resorts so i could get as much rest before opening the next day. Haha.

School starts up this week.

My schedule is still not completely figured out. I need to show up to one course on the first day to see if there is any room (it says there isn't online at the moment), and I'm scrambling to get the most effective schedule so that I have enough wiggle room in the spring.

I am taking an extra class (6 total) this semester and next semester as well as taking 2 classes in the winter so that I can graduate on time.

Taking the LSAT in less than a month.

You're lucky dude. I wish I could be going to school right now. There was rumors going around a while back that they were going to let me out of the army early because I'd lost a bunch of hearing as a 50 cal gunner, so instead of getting out in october, 2011, I'd get out this winter, but now it's not looking like it. I was really hoping to be able to go to the University of Nevada Reno (so I can ride lake tahoe) next year, but now it's looking like I'm gonna have to wait it out. And what's the LSAT?

Yeah, I read in some other thread you posted in about it. Damn that army, waving money and training at you and keeping you in. In all honesty, you could probably get the same training and make the same amount of money by enrolling in school and leaving the ARMY. With the new GI Bill and financial aid, there's a good possibility you'll be able to afford school easily and still have a "refund" check each semester for living expenses, books, etc, which really helps since you won't need to work full time to afford being a student.

"The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a half-day, standardized test administered four times each year at designated testing centers throughout the world. All American Bar Association-approved law schools, most Canadian law schools, and many other law schools require applicants to take the LSAT as part of their admission process." [source]

basically it's an SAT for law school (although it's nothing like the SAT other than that they are both standardized admissions tests)

Since I'm a senior and I'm looking to attend law school next fall, I need to take it this year so I can apply for law schools over the winter/spring.

I'll be utilizing the shit out of the GI bill when I get out. With the new GI bill you speak of, Not only do they pay for your schooling, but they also give you over a thousand dollars a month to live off of. It's awesome. And as much as I'd like to just leave and start over, having army experience with satellite technology sets me up just too perfect for when I'm done. I'll be 3/4 of the way to an Associates in Satellite Technology, and when I get out, I'm going to get a Bachelors in it. Plus I'll have a top secret security clearance. Looking at all those things as an option, I really just didn't want to pass it up. It'd be like going 90% of the way there and then saying fuck it, I don't want to do the rest of the work.

I mean I'm about as big an opponent to being in as there is. I wouldn't wish this type of bullshit on anybody. Most of what I do is boring, irrelevant, and downright stupid. Landscaping the front of our office building because a general is supposedly driving by today. Stuff like that. I hate it. But, with the degree in Sat Tech and my clearance, I'm probably not even going to have to find a job. They tend to recruit people that are coming up on the end of their contract in my situation with 6 figure jobs. So I figure to hell with it. I'll just suck it up and then try and repress the memories of all these years as best I can. :P

Is it a big deal? I mean obviously it's important if you're looking at going to a decent law school, but is it more of a get it out of the way thing, or something that can legitimately knock you out of contention? And are the law schools that don't require it worth a shit? And of course, how'd you do? :P

lol, I'd be lying if I said I never considered the armed forces. The GI bill is a pretty big selling point, considering how expensive a college education is now adays. A security clearance is a good thing to have, I've had job applications asking if I've ever had one, so I imagine it's something they appreciate. The satellite tech training sound really awesome. Even if you don't want to do that after you get out, there are a ton of geography and meteorology schools that would probably give you some credits towards a program.

Any legitimate law school in the US is a member of the American Bar Association and requires the LSAT. The schools I'm looking at aren't overly picky (I'm not applying to Harvard or anything), but if I do poorly, yeah I could be up shit creek without a paddle.

I don't get my score till next week. The 19th. I took the test in September so that if I do have a low score, I can take it again in December and have a score report by January, well before the deadlines for applying to the schools.

My father dished out a few hundred dollars for me to take a weekend prep course the week before the test, which was really great of him, and I hope it helped me get a good score.

I'm probably going to follow through with it as a career when I get out, even though I don't know if I enjoy it yet or not. I still have no experience because I STILL haven't started class. Bleh. I've been on holdover here for 5 months now waiting and still no dice. Supposedly I'm starting it next month though so that should be good. The cool thing is that you can post a resume on monster saying you completed high school as a special ed student, have a criminal record that stretches to hell and back, and you've got AIDS, but you passed the class and have a security clearance, and within a few hours you'll have 3 or 4 job offers from between 60 to 80 thou a year. I figure love it or hate it, it's too easy for me to just follow through with it and be set for life to pass it up. With the way the economy is now, I've got to jump on it or I'll probably regret it.

How'd you do? Nice setting yourself up so that you can retake it and still be ok if something happens, but it's always nice to just get the job done right the first time. And what schools are you looking at?
