Charity begins in the home, Milly. Least thats what I've been taught.

Are you suggesting that I don't give to charity? Or are you suggesting that people need to start by helping those closest to them, because either way what I said still stands. I sponsor a child (have been for 10 years), and donate when the opportunity arises. I also believe that wherever you look you'll be able to find other humans in need of help and support.

@ Yut: Yeah, I've never been a fan of PETA, especially after I read into how they handle many situations with the animals they 'save' and so on.

PP: My damn research proposal, never done one before, and now my first one i worth 40% in each of my three units. Basically meaning if I screw it up, I've screwed up all three units.

PP: Everyone being so obsessed with animal rights and animal cruelty. No I don't think animal cruelty is ok, but I also think that if all the people getting so wrapped up in helping cows, pigs, and chickens out, actually redirected that passion towards helping cruelty against humans that they would be doing something much more worthwhile and important. In the long run, if humans can't even treat other humans with respect, then what hope will there ever be for animals? Start with what is needed most, get people caring about other people, and then maybe you will have a hope in getting people to care about animals.

PS. I mean no offense to anyone who is all for animal rights, good on you for believing in something and wanting to make a difference, but I am sick of people posting these shocking images of animals getting skinned alive or statistics on how many puppies die each day, on the pretense that we must fight for animal rights because they don't have voices and therefore they can't protect themselves. I'm sure if you went and saw the state of life that many humans live in, you will soon see there are many... MANY, who don't have the means or ability to protect themselves or their families even though they technically have 'a voice'.

PP- When you have to change out of your warm clothes into your cold pjs. It's horrible and the cold tends to wake me up >.>

Na I'm just using CD's, though when I used to use my player it did turn on because I would have it plugged into the car to keep it charged, and so when the car turned on it would get power and automatically turn on too.

That's pretty funny, I have similar issues when I go to drive mum (who is a strict Christian) somewhere in my car, and I have forgotten about the heavy metal music (or any genre really) that includes much swearing that was blazing when I turned off the car, and then of course is drummed into our ears the second I turn the car on >.>

I looked it up and found many many people asking the same question, most responses were not useful though, but some indicated that perhaps you should tell your doctor about it, because there are a few possible sicknesses/diseases that would cause such a sensation.
In saying that people say you should see a doctor for everything on the internet, so I would personally only go myself if I was already starting to worry/consider going to the doctor beforehand.

Man, that would have been annoying (not having music for a two hour drive). I love having my own music blaring while I drive, makes the trip enjoyable. Actually on that note, my speakers/whole radio/music system in my car is dying and it is really annoying me. It makes it constantly sound like when you are wearing headphones and they aren't plugged in properly to the music player or whatever they are plugged into at the time. Sadly I do not have the time, nor the money, to be able to afford fixing the problem. Damn uni!

On the note of the first world problems, I get what you mean about those people. I mean it's not like I don't care about those issues, I sponsor a child, donate money to various organisations, and one of the reason's I'm being an educator is to hopefully help create a generation of students who are critical thinkers and problem solvers, and who may be able to help lesson the extent of some of these issues. But in the end, what is making people feel bad for their own lives and situations actually going to do to help? If you care so much, physically go and help them, don't just make yourself feel better about the fact that you aren't doing anything that is making a real change by putting others down. By the way I'm just referring to those people who talk big, but never actually do anything (such as be part of fund raisers, and so on).

PP- The cold!!! Damn weather here >.> Much prefer to be hot then cold DX

PP- Internet has died at my house, like big time, like the wiring in the walls. The surge that did so also killed my printer.. I currently need both of these things pretty desperately for uni, as I am so close to finishing and have like hundreds of things to print, and need to look up heaps of articles and journals on the internet for my research report/proposal which is worth 40% in all 3 of my courses... meaning if I don't get it done, well, and on time, I pretty much screw up all 3 of my courses.

So annoyed >

@ The Dragon Age topic- Dragon Age Origins is basically what got me really interested in playing games. Spent over 100 hours on my first run through, really got into reading a lot of the scrolls and stuff found, and very much found myself caring about the other main characters. Just finished Dragon Age 2, and though I didn't find it great, as it had a very different feel to the first game, it was still ok.

@ Synaster-You have to put weight on your drivers license? I never knew that! Don't have to here.

I went through a similar thing a few years back, the fire ended up only being on the other side of the hill I lived on. A few people died and there was heaps and heaps of damage. At the time I was scared, but also in this state of "This can't actually be happening, no natural disasters ever happen here, they happen in other places". I was that way even as we filled our drains up with water, as we got rid of all the leaves and twigs in the backyard, as we sent our animals off to houses that were further away from the fire, or even as I packed my bag of things that I didn't want to loose. It wasn't till after the fact, when I drove the 5 minutes it took to get to the other side of the hill and saw all the destruction that I realised how close I came to loosing my house and all my belongings.

Good on ya mate! From someone who has struggled with weight as well, and then got sick of it and lost a lot, takes a lot of effort and personal constraint!
AP- I like this new jacket I bought

PP:  It seems no matter how hard I try, I am unable to make new friends and keep them. I used to be good at making friends, but for the last 6 years I have sucked at it, especially when it comes to girls. Seem to be able to make guy friends okish.. It hurts when people you have considered friends for the last 4 years start avoiding you and  purposely leaving you to sit alone..

In the end you were asked for an opinion of appearance, it's not fair for the person who asked to say you were shallow if they asked your opinion on her looks (you also replied in a nice way, I'm sure others could have said a similar thing but in a less nice way). It would be different if they asked if you thought she was a cool person or something, and you replied with that answer, as it would suggest that all you cared about were looks.
