what?
details please
My school kicked a girl out because of her hair color,a couple of days ago. She was given three options:
Dye your hair back to real color.
Get in school suspension
Get kicked out.
So yeah,it was on the Philly version of fox 29 news last night and this morning.
EDIT: My school may be getting sued
EA, are you talking about this?

No. What I'm talking about just went down... like this week
Funnily enough, a news report this week over here in the UK revealed that many schools may be unlawfully suspending and excluding students on the grounds of clothing, makeup, hair etc. They're obviously not good enough reasons to get rid of students so the schools may be getting into trouble.
Weeiiiirrrddd.
People can't handle alternative kids' swag. And I'm being entirely serious. Why be boring when you can have neon hair, a choker and platform shoes mmhmmmmm
My dads out of town, so I my mother and sister have been watching my fathers dog. Its an Akita. Boy oh boy is he strong.I've walked him three times already, annoying thing is,hes use to my fathers hour long walks. I can't walk a dog for an hour. I'll be so bored. Can't just let him off the leash,hes the explorer type.And he ah....doesn't play with strangers..at all.
Breaking news: Girl with pink hair returns to EA's school.
In the early days of THB we had a member who lilk called "pink hair girl" because of her user picture (I think it was a pink hat or hood). It's too bad Fordeadlysin didn't stay. She was fun to have around.
The issue in the UK is slightly different as we all wear uniforms so there schools want to make sure everyone follows the dresscode.
My school has a set tie length (based on the number of stripes 
) that people have to adhere to, as well as rules about makeup and jewellery which I think are fair enough. They tried to introduce a dresscode in the Sixth Form (in which we are allowed to wear our own clothes) at the start of this year to make us look a bit smarter but it has failed gloriously. 
Heyy, I remember Fordeadlysin!
Heyy, I remember Fordeadlysin!
Yay! My favorite memory of Fordeadlysin was when she and Greyjeth quickly ran up 60 comments before Asaic informed them we had a chat room.
Time to break the happy mood here:
I really hate how all the cats in the neighborhood have to "get down" right next to my house. SO LOUD.

It sounds like you're jealous of the cats.

What is this chat room you speak of? Oh, that. I don't think people have been in chat since last year. 
It sounds like you're jealous of the cats.
Not when it sounds so painful. O_O

is it a "iv'e been bad and need a spanking" kind of painful, or a "no means yes" kind?

Big depressed rant here:
When your former love is finally out of your life and you stay in touch with their friends because they’re cool people, that’s fine. When those friends sometimes mention, in some way, your former love on facebook, showing how much better they are without you, that hurts. But when their current position is a result from your dedication and motivation, that’s where it really stings.
Giving up my money, time, school, friends, and family ties just to be with someone is what happened. I helped fund her tuition when her mom couldn’t pay. I made her artworks on the spot on each visit. I willingly met her best friend’s parents to make her know I was serious. I even helped her mom with gardening and fixing up the house when she was busy at school.
So I get cheated on, told I just want sex, she tells most of her friends that I abused her, and I still am refused to get my things back from her. Of course everyone believes the young, big-eyed teen girl that goes to church rather than the guy involved.
Ah yeah. I saw on Tumblr, replied to it. Once again, I know what that's like and it's pretty.. Bad.
Some shit happened recently.
I met this girl who is more or less someone I wouldn't mind spending a ridiculously absurd amount of time with. Unfortunately, she has a boyfriend who has cheated on her and lied to her, who she criticizes all the time. A few days ago, she told me she loved me. But she won't leave him for me, because she's not like that, she's a good person. I feel like no matter how much he screws her over, she'll remain loyal and faithful. Jesus, I even wrote a poem about it because damn. I've kind of gotten past the "Want all for me." point and honestly I don't care if she's with someone else as long as it's not that asshole. It's fine if it's not me, hell it's probably better. So yeah I don't really know what to do or what to think. She did tell me she loves me and told me not to contact her on weekends because he'll be there and she doesn't want him finding out. There have also been times where she's been afraid of him.
And I don't know. Sure, he's a bad guy. But.. I'm kind of being evil by talking to her and telling her what I honestly feel and believe. I'm not one to shroud the truth in more beautiful looking lies, and she seems to really like that about me.
I don't even know what I'm saying anymore..
I don't love her.. Right?
I mean.. But I.. I don't like her, it's more than that. But it's not love.. Right?
But it might be. But it's probably not. But it might be.
Furthermore, does it even REALLY MATTER!?
If she likes you (I don't know about "love") more than him, she should just be able to break up with him. She doesn't need a reason other than him cheating on her.
If she's afraid of him, that usually points to an abusive situation most times, whether physically or emotionally. Understandable, but you and some friends should motivate her to seek help for that. Just make sure not to get too caught up in all that drama. That can still hurt ya.
After that, you can reap the rewards (which is, ya know...her).
Hmm.. The greatest reward would honestly be her liberation. What she chooses to do afterwards is of her own volition. She still kind of likes him which I suppose is why she wouldn't leave, as she said that "I'm not done with him yet." Okay, that's fair.
DAZ, get out of there. If she says she likes you but won't leave her boyfriend, she likes her boyfriend better, no matter what she says.

As the somewhat comedic relief of this site. I must say,damn,Bitches be crazy.

Yeah, after reading DAZ's last part, I agree with this. She might be one of those "I can change him! He's really sweet deep down!" when the guy is too much of a prick to have any hope for (actually, that's the reason I was cheated on; she left me to see if she could make him a better person).
Trust me, it's not worth getting involved in.
You may be right.
I'll just remain friendly and passive, that's all.
Living well is the best revenge.
So apparently after a whole weekend of him ignoring her in favor of gaming, she was crying the whole time and she just kicked him out now. Started talking to me, saying how she was constantly refreshing my Tumblr to see if I posted anything new because it made her feel better.. At this point he's going to need a goddamn miracle for her to take him back. He really screwed up man. I can't help but shake my head at his idiocy.. Losing someone like that. I want to laugh at him and feel bad for him at the same time but I can't because I can't empathize with him. Repeat cheater, liar. Mmkay.

Is it that "smexi-ninja" girl? Just curious.
Yes it is Joey. Yes it is..
Smexi-ninja................. 0_o
That's almost a better name than DarkAlphabetZoup ;D
OMFG JOEY! OMFG!
DAZ IS A COOL NAME OKAY!?
Both our names are cool! They're cool..!
I know! I was saying it was! hahaha
I thought you were being sarcastic for a second
No, that's only to people I don't like. Actually, I do that a lot...hmm...
161803398874989 is the best name ever and you know it.
*sobbing* Oh god it's true..!
"Bully", which received an "R" rating from the MPAA, meaning those under age 17 are not admitted without a parent or legal guardian. This is because the "f-word" is used, twice.
Just found out the movie will be released as unrated. Here''s the article.

I'm going to Constantinople (Istanbul)! My first cruise last year gave me the opportunity to visit Rome and now I'll be visiting my second Assassin's city, just for a day. Can't wait! 
For the first time in a long time, I feel truly happy. I didn't know where else to really say it but I do. Things are weird and strange and different. But I am happy. More than I have ever been. I had basically.. Given up, last year pretty much. Wasn't doing any work. Was just chilling at home, writing and playing games. Sure, writing is work. And it's what I WANT to work, but it's not "real" work. I have something to fight for now. Cheesy as hell but it's true.

I'm anxious right now over a Physics ISA (Investigative Skills Assessment) I have next Tuesday which involves an exam paper based on an experiment we did a couple of weeks ago. They tend to be easier than standard exams and are internally marked but, because of this, and the fact that a lot of colleges give their students help*, the grade boundaries end up being set unbelievably high so just a couple of marks dropped results in a low grade.
I've never gone into a final exam at the end of the year with the top grade (A*) being unattainable, but unless I nail this ISA that's what is going to happen when I sit the last exam in June. It's stupid because an A is all I need to get into university and I could get a D in the last exam and still get an A.
I think it's because the A* is going to be so difficult to get, that I want it so much. :S
*the answers to the questions
I have never been much of an A student ( in my school system its E for Excellence) I had a bare minimum attitude. Got into university and for my first year doing commerce I just got Cs, wasn't motivated.
Now that im doing a Science degree instead im way more motivated and im getting Bs, but I have yet to hit the A attitude. I guess its the law of dimishing returns graph in my minds eye that stops me, I probably wont got for an A unless I think the jump from B+ to A will have a significant difference in my job/salary
I was talking with a friend of mine a few minutes ago. At first, she messaged me on facebook and told me about some drama she's dealing with (of course it's about some guy).
Somehow, it turned into an argument about self-criticisms and the idea of regret...
Her argument: It's good to criticize your regrets in life, because then you can analyze yourself and realize where you're wrong. It's a good thing to look at yourself negatively, because then you can look better to other people.
My argument: You should never regret anything in life. Use each and every memorable event in your life as a learning experience. Looking at it and saying "Now I know what not to do in similar situations such as that" is better than saying "I'm such an idiot for doing that and I'll never be good enough because of it". Also, you shouldn't care what others think of you, otherwise you're just a carbon copy of everyone else.
Trying to prove each other's points went on for over an hour until she just said "whatever". Le sigh...
Depends on how you define regret. If you define regret as a feeling of guilt ("Oh, man, I should've never done that, I'm so stupid. Why did I even do it?"), then it's bad. If you define regret as a learning thing ("It was stupid, but now I've learnt not to do that."), then it's positive.

This. I don't think there's anything wrong with regretting something, provided you learn from it and move on.
That's what she was saying regret was. Looking back at it as a negative thing.
It seems the ways of the Assassins are not for the minds of all. Good work attempting to open her mind to a better way of looking at regret, and don't regret trying to do that 
She'll learn by herself, in time. Or not.
My argument: You should never regret anything in life.
One time my best friend from college was going over all his regrets in life, making himself miserable. I didn't get it so he asked me to name one of my regrets (he was probably going to use it to illustrate a point). I must have sat there for 30 seconds trying to think of a regret - any regret. Finally he broke the silence by saying, "Oh my God. You don't have any regrets. That makes me even more depressed."
Later I realized that it was an absolute. I have no regrets because I forgive myself for my mistakes. Each decision in life is made with the information available at the time and without the benefit of foresight. As long as you gave it your best shot there's no room for regret.

And that's why we're awesome.
