Yeah, it's PE. So, whenever you're at school, and they say it's time for PE, you just whip out your dick (or pussy for the ladies) and just start masturbating.

Just to let everybody know, I'll probably be signing off soon. I should've been in bed asleep three hours ago, but I got too wrapped up into this (which isn't a bad thing at all). But, I may or may not stay on for another hour two. Thiugh, I do have that History test tommorrow. Meh, I was going to fail it anyway.

No, I'll probably fail. I hate to look at things in that way, but I suck at History! I haven't gotten a good grade on a test in History so far this semester. Okay, so that might be a lie. But, I still suck at History.

i got this when i was in rehab, just found it:
I AM YOUR DISEASE
I hate meetings. i hate higher power.i hate anyone who has a program. toall who come in contact with me, i wish you death and suffering.
allow me to introduce myself. i am the disease of addiction. cunning, baffling,and powerful~ that's me. i have killed millions, and i am pleased. i love to catch you with the element of surprise.
i love pretending i am your friend and lover. i have given you comfort, have i not? wasn't i there when you were lonely?when you wanted to die, didn't you call me? iwas there. i love to make
you hurt. i love to make you cry. better yet, i love when i make you so numb you can neither hurt nor cry. you can't feel anything at all. this is true glory. i will give you instant gratification and all i ask for you is long term suffering. i've been there for you always.
when things were going right in your life, you invited me. you said you didn't deserve these good things,and i was the only one who would agree with you. together we were able to destroy all things
good in your life.
people don't take me seriously. they take strokes seriously, heart attacks seriously, even diabetes they take seriously. fools that are, they don't know that without my help these things would not be so possible.
i am such a hated disease; and yet i donot come uninvited. you choose to have me. so many have chosen me over reality and peace.
more than you hate me, i hate all of you who have a twelve step program. your program, your meetings, your higher power. all weaken me and i can't function in the manner i am accustomed to.
now i must lie here quietly. you don't see me, but i'm growing, bigger than ever.when you only exist, i may live. when you live i only exist. but i am here.......and until we meet again......i wish you death and suffering.

Drunk Monkeys Mirror People By Jennifer Viegas, Discovery News
May 9, 2006 — Monkeys drink more alcohol when housed alone, and some like to end a long day in the lab with a boozy cocktail, according to a new analysis of alcohol consumption among members of a rhesus macaque social group.
The study, recently published in the journal Methods, also found that booze affects monkeys much the same way it affects people.
"It was not unusual to see some of the monkeys stumble and fall, sway, and vomit," Chen [one of the study’s authors and a researcher at the National Institutes of Health Animal Center in Maryland] added. "In a few of our heavy drinkers, they would drink until they fell asleep."
For the initial experiment, 21 females gained access to an aspartame-sweetened ethanol concoction during a group "happy hour." Neck collars registered the amount of fluid consumed, and each monkey received a blood alcohol level test at the end of the period.
In a follow-up experiment, 10 monkeys were housed individually during the "happy hour."
"The singly housed monkeys certainly drank more than the socially housed monkeys- at least two to three-fold more," Chen told Discovery News. "With the socially housed monkeys, there are a number of factors that can potentially compete with access to alcohol, such as social status or dominance ranking."
Lower-ranked monkeys and males tended to drink more overall, but certain individuals consistently drank more than others, regardless of status or housing conditions.
"Similar to humans, rhesus macaques have individual differences in taste preference, stress levels, drug tolerance and genetic background that lead to differences in alcohol intake," explained Chen.
In yet another study, the scientists gave a group of male monkeys 24-hour access to the beverage dispensers. According to the researchers, a spike in consumption immediately followed the facility’s working hours.
"Like humans, monkeys are more likely to drink after stressful periods, such as soon after the daily 8-5 testing hours and after a long week of testing," said Chen.
Look for Bush Administration officials to invoke the new evidence as further support for ethanol subsidies. "I'm workin hard to give Americans a comprehensive energy policy, one that's funnier than a drunk monkey."
