There... Is going to be some quiet from me this week.
If I don't get most or all of this Econ Unit done by thursday at a reasonable time(say, 5pm) I am not going to be able to go to AWA. And seeing as it's in my best interest(And I hope Devo's ¬¬) for me to go to AWA this year, and every year, I am going to sit down on my ass and do some econ work. Without getting side-tracked. WHich means I'm not going to be signing on to IM.
For the whole week.
It's only one week, you guys(and hopefully me) can stand it....
Anyhow, I hope I don't get a ton of stress out of this sudden ton of work and blow up or something. =s
Devo, call me sometime this week so we can organize the plans.... Like the Video Prod thing, and the other AWA stuff. After 4pm and before 9pm is good.
As for everybody else.... Go check out my art at

It seems that I represent the feeling "Lonliness".
"You represent... loneliness. Always alone and always sad about it... unlike angst, you don't have to look for a reason to be miserable. You want to be in the company of people but aren't sure how to act when you're with them. Sometimes you have to make an effort. You can't always wait for others to come to you."
take the quiz, damnit! =p

My profile pic is now "SQ" from Shinpi. The original character sketch len is using for refernce while he draws. ^^;;
It was done completely in pen(A total mistake on my part, I couldn't find a pencil) so that's why there's a hell of a lot of white out and stick figure stuff...
There's glare from white out topped with blue pen(left fist) because I took a digital picture... I didn't have a scanner when I drew this.
I could scan it in now, and get a lighter picture but.... Then the white-out would be even MORE visible =s
Anyways, hope you like the quickie pen sketch of my character for my profile. ~_^ -

They take the 50 MOST downloaded local videos with the least number of opinions.
172 downloads isn't a lot.
Most of the vids on the most unerradted list have 2000+.
Sorry. =s -

I feel like the only person in this state who has half a brain.
Here's some econ for you...
The assignment is to find "Free" good and services online, and then explain why they arn't free. Here's mine.. (I can't give a URL since you have to pay and login and stuff, so just cope with the copy and paste)

Free Porn
Yes, I know it's a "touchy" subject-- but free porn is the most expensive "free" thing out there.
The people who own each site have to pay for their own web hosting, bandwidth, the models, photo backgrounds, cameras, and associated camera equipment. Sometimes, the owners of the websites offer free media files as well, so they must pay for more webspace, bandwidth, and associated video camera materials.
They usually recoup this cost by many pop-up ads, some of which if you click, automatically find any credit card numbers stored in your cookies, and charge a set fee to your account.
(This relates to free porn in general, so there is no specific site. I don't think you'd want a link anyway.)
Free Webhosting
Such "free" web providers as Tripod and Geocities offer around twenty megabytes of storage and a set amount of bandwidth at no cost.
However, the managers of these offers must pay for all the bandwidth and space consumed by all the members that join the site. That's however much webspace the company itself is using, and however many active members there are times twenty. Multiply that by the daily alloted bandwidth, and you have that figure.
Tripod and Geocities both send a monthly newsletter to the members displaying new "packages" that you can pay for to get. This is basically upgrading your free account for more webspace and/or bandwidth. However, this alone cannot recoup the costs to fund a site that offers "free" webhosting.
Once you make your webpage, a special html code is plastered onto it which allows for many pop-up ads to show once your webpage is viewed. By this, they hope to advertise and recoup costs.
There's also a spot in the terms and conditions that allows Tripod and Geocities to delete any member's website without notice. That means if either site gets low on money, they can delete x amount of webpages, therefore eliminating the connected fees to those sites.

Here's the most stupid person I've ever seen's....
----
FREE CELL PHONES!!!
www.intelenetwireless.com
You may get a free phone, but you have to pay for all the service and pay extra if you go over on you minutes.
FREE MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS!!!
www.free-n-cool.com
You give the magazine company your personal information and you will have a telemarketer calling your house all the time and trying to get you to buy more. Usually the company will only give you a couple of months worth for free, after that, you must pay.

Assignment: What thing did you suggest to your work that made that job easier?(If you didn't do that, describe one of your friend's job applications)
Here's mine:
---
There were three employees in her office, all with the same duties, to find medical records, to abstract data, and to do the data entry. There was alot of duplication of efforts, all of them going to the same areas at different times. My Mom's suggestion was that they take turns at the tasks so that the other employees could focus on one task for the whole workday. She did talk to her co-workers and then when they were agreeable, she talked with her boss. It was implemented and productivity rose along with morale. A sense of teamship and support helped to build a positive work environment.

Here's that SAME stupid preson's....

This past summer I got my first job, a sales associate at Shoe Carnival. Woo-hoo!! But hey, money is money. Anyway, that job was so frustrating, we would walk around and find shoes that people left out while trying them on and put them back where they go. I don't know if you've ever been to Shoe Carnival, but there is absolutely no room to breathe on busy days, and that STUPID, ANNOYING mic person would have to come on every 30 seconds to say whatever special we were having that day.
So I got pretty tired of that. Then, every night when we would close everyone would stand around and talk instead of doing what we were supposed to so we would end up being there until like 11 o'clock! So I was the only one who would ever work to close, so then I just decided that if they didn't have to work, neither did I! So I boycotted at work and never came in on Sundays. It was good for about a month and I was actually getting along with my co-workers better.
Then one Sunday I was going to call in and they told me just not to come back!!! I GOT FIRED!!! So I don't really have any good solutions about being more efficient or anything like that, all I can say is don't boycott and go in when you're scheduled to!

First of all, not only did she NOT start a new topic for her assignment(this is a MSB, you're supposed to start a new thread for your own assignment), but she also horribly misspelled and has an utter LACK of sense to understand the assignment instructions. Also, these two posts of her's appeared today... They were due LAST WEEK.
My view on it is: Stupid women like this need to be shot. All they could possibly be good for is breeding stock, and even then, you'd probably end up getting stupid people... And stupid people don't need to go procreating.
I bet it's a female like this who invented shaving and makeup. They all need to be shot.
Multiple times...
In pressure points so they live long, and die a slow.. Agonizing death....
