88: Top photo, left guy? Dump your godforsaken boyfriend already! He's clearly a useless jerk, and you cant seem to let him go. Drop him like the bad habit he apparently is! Today is apparently National Coming Out Day in America. For those who dont get the euphemism, it is being publically homosexual instead of hiding. I'm going to be keeping an eye on a certain friend of mine today, I'd bet money he's gay.

Bwah! No, it's the guy on the right. The hot one.
My boss was giving my co-worker parenting advice today...LOL. It's amazing how much insight you can get into a person by the little things they say.

Does anyone ever feel embarrassed that they like certain types of music, films, or TV shows?
Most of my tastes have always been very different to a lot of other people's, and as such, they were prone to be criticised. Usually, I try to let it wash over me, but there can come a point that if people constantly tell me that the stuff I like is rubbish, or imply that it's inferior to things that they like, then I'll (temporarily) feel embarrassed and almost ashamed of liking the things that I do like, and sometimes put off listening to them/watching them for a few weeks, until I can get past feeling ashamed of them.
I don't like feeling like this - I want to be proud that I like the things I like, and most of the time I am proud - but there are times when, due to other people's criticisms of them, I become embarrassed and ashamed of them for a while - so does anyone else ever get like this?

OMG Today school ended at 4.10pm. It was 4.07pm when the principal comes into my class and askes me to go out. I go to his office and find one guy of every elective of my generation. After a short introductory speech, Principal says: "Just wanted to let you know, this is your last day of classes!" ...and I mean . The bell rang at that exact same moment so I had to run back to my class and tell everybody. Man, were we happy. We all celebrated and said goodbye to the teachers that had watched us grow for 12 years. Memorable... really memorable.

There wasn't time to cry, really...it was all too unexpected. The oficial last day was this Friday, but we were suspicious that they maybe would chose thursday as the last day, because there's a "tradition" that the last day of school the 12th graders throw water bombs and such at the other classes, so we thought they would let us go a day earlier to avoid all that...which is why we had all prepared for thursday . But they were smarter than us and decided today would be the last day. Sadly there were quite a few who didn't go today, thinking the last day would be tommorrow or the day after.

But they were smarter than us and decided today would be the last day. Try sneaking back into school tomorrow and Friday and see if anyone notices. There's a phobia of having peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth. I can't remember the name for it, but it does exist. I was reminded of it yesterday when I was eating some peanut butter (yes, I sometimes eat it alone.) It is quite sticky; I can see why some people would have this fear. It's a shame they're scared of it, though - it's nice.

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words Wow. I love words, and even I'm scared of that one. I had heard of the "fear of long words" one, but didn't know its real name. Thanks for digging these up, Laser, they're really interesting to read. Do you think, considering that Hippopotomon...etc is a phobia of long words, that whoever coined the term deliberately came up with the longest word imaginable?

Here's a link with the longest words in the English distionary: fun-with-words.com/word_longest.htmlAnd here is the award winning, longest word in the English dictionary: (45) PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS (also spelled PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOKONIOSIS) = a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust. This is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries. Also: Some say SMILES is the longest word because there is a MILE between the first and last letters! Heh. <edit> I read down, and look what I found- Two chemical terms (3,641 and 1,913 letters long) have appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records. They were withdrawn because they have never been used by chemists, and there is no theoretical limit to the length of possible legitimate chemical terms. A DNA molecule could have a name of over 1,000,000,000 letters if it was written out in full. (1,185) ACETYLSERYLTYROSYLSERYLISOLEUCYLTHREONYLSERYLPROLYLSERYLGLUTAMINYLPHENYLALANYLVALYLPHENYLALANYLLEUCYLSERYLSERYLVALYLTRYPTOPHYLALANYLASPARTYLPROLYLISOLEUCYLGLUTAMYLLEUCYLLEUCYLASPARAGINYLVALYLCYSTEINYLTHREONYLSERYLSERYLLEUCYLGLYCYLASPARAGINYLGLUTAMINYLPHENYLALANYLGLUTAMINYLTHREONYLGLUTAMINYLGLUTAMINYLALANYLARGINYLTHREONYLTHREONYLGLUTAMINYLVALYLGLUTAMINYLGLUTAMINYLPHENYLALANYLSERYLGLUTAMINYLVALYLTRYPTOPHYLLYSYLPROLYLPHENYLALANYLPROLYLGLUTAMINYLSERYLTHREONYLVALYLARGINYLPHENYLALANYLPROLYLGLYCYLASPARTYLVALYLTYROSYLLYSYLVALYLTYROSYLARGINYLTYROSYLASPARAGINYLALANYLVALYLLEUCYLASPARTYLPROLYLLEUCYLISOLEUCYLTHREONYLALANYLLEUCYLLEUCYLGLYCYLTHREONYLPHENYLALANYLASPARTYLTHREONYLARGINYLASPARAGINYLARGINYLISOLEUCYLISOLEUCYLGLUTAMYLVALYLGLUTAMYLASPARAGINYLGLUTAMINYLGLUTAMINYLSERYLPROLYLTHREONYLTHREONYLALANYLGLUTAMYLTHREONYLLEUCYLASPARTYLALANYLTHREONYLARGINYLARGINYLVALYLASPARTYLASPARTYLALANYLTHREONYLVALYLALANYLISOLEUCYLARGINYLSERYLALANYLASPARAGINYLISOLEUCYLASPARAGINYLLEUCYLVALYLASPARAGINYLGLUTAMYLLEUCYLVALYLARGINYLGLYCYLTHREONYLGLYCYLLEUCYLTYROSYLASPARAGINYLGLUTAMINYLASPARAGINYLTHREONYLPHENYLALANYLGLUTAMYLSERYLMETHIONYLSERYLGLYCYLLEUCYLVALYLTRYPTOPHYLTHREONYLSERYLALANYLPROLYLALANYLSERINE = Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Dahlemense Strain. This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word. *tries to pronounce the word*
