  1. Gonna drop outta high school in a few months. I already have a job at my uncle’s hot dog stand, I make $20/hour asking kids if they want mustard or ketchup. I got hookups with my uncle for a cozy apartment in Yorkville… I’m gonna work on a few screenplays, DJ a bit, and smoke a LOT of kush.

    You think $20 an hour is balling? There are people who make that per minute, and they aren't even the super rich.

    Also, why do you think that anyone would want to read a screenplay written by a semi-literate high school dropout raised in privilege.

  2. Just got this today; didn't wait till boxing day. Playing through the campaign after getting served in my first few games. Only once did I even get close to 1:1 ratio. So yeah, I'll be a noob till I learn the maps I guess. My psn username is Dimes-of-Hard

  3. I'm in my fifth year of the university of Toronto. Doing a major in sociology, and picking up a minor in film and philosophy. My depression and ADHD combined caused me to fail a bunch of courses in the past, so I was on academic probation this semester. Luckily it went better so I can stay in school for at least another year in a half, after which I am going to go to Vancouver film school for screenwriting, I think. After that, hopefully I'll be able to sell a feature to a studio for big money, and then move onto directing.

    I also work as a bus boy at one of the busiest restaurants in Toronto, where I make pretty decent money.

    I feel so behind in life that I have trouble finding joy in my everyday experiences. It kind of sucks.

  4. word. we can talk about this.

    my goldfish might have a source at like ~$100, perhaps less.

    when have you served your time in academic hell?

    The 16th. I have a friend who is growing his own so he'll be a great source eventually.

  5. The reality is that most people really don't understand intelligence, and that in North America at least, the way that intelligence is portrayed as this linear, singular thing is just wrong. This is partly why so many people think they are much smarter than they actually are, and yet probably don't recognize where their specializations lay.

    Just because someone got into a decent school means only that they aren't exceptionally stupid (see retarded), and are good at working hard/smart.

  6. One thing to take into consideration: Living close to wherever you have to commute to till actually affect your life more than anything. Apparently every ten minutes your commute takes, you lose 10% of your social life. Also, living on a quiet street subconsciously reduces stress. [/psychology]

    That said: The Annex is very nice and safe, but stay away from any of the areas close to UofT. They are all overpriced because there are tens of thousands of students trying to live around there so the rent is inflated. Kensington is a nice hood to live in, though a bit barren transportation-wise (fuck street cars). I live at Bloor and Christie and love it, though my rent ain't that cheap ($1400 for two bedrooms) but it does feel like two one bedroom apartments with a shared kitchen and living room. The area is great for transportation, food, and quietness.

    I like Dundas, Bloor, and College west of Ossington a lot. You get decent rent, nice neighborhoods, and good bars. However, it is kinda far from anything really downtown (universities, jobs, etc.)

  7. I guess because I find going to the gym and working out a little daunting, especially when I am already feeling lethargic. I feel like if I got into something routine and fun, like a sport or something, I'd be better off.
