everyone says this

at least jacksonville has a night life, unlike here

at 9pm everything shuts the fuck down, EVERYTHING

Ha! 9pm is late. Here the sidewalks are rolled up no later than 8pm. There's... one club, one bar that I can think of in the city. I guess the mall is here, but the movie theater is in the next town over (which is literally across the freeway). There's almost literally nothing to do here, and San Fran is at least an hour away.

10pm = Everything shuts where I live.

There is a 24/7 garage but that is a verrryy long walk

**Ban Camp** · 6th July 2012

Around 12 am-1 am- Shit shuts down here

Why don't most of you want kids?

Kids own.

I don't really care much for kids either way (though since my mom works at an elementary school, I do experience the bad side of children a lot)
The problem is that, since I'm gay and have a boyfriend, there's no real way for us to have a child, and actually birthing/raising a child is the one of the biggest parts of being a parent, which we won't experience.

I mean, sure, there's adoption, but that takes out the entire point, because its someone else's child, not yours, it just has your name. Also, I'd make a fucking terrible parent, and most of the time to be a parent, you have to be a hypocrite 'do as I say not as I do' which isn't really fun for me. There's just a lot of things.

There is the option of having a surrogate mother, if you don't want to adopt.

Not too keen on kids personally, I don't have a particularly good attention span or patience. I can barely manage the dog. If I did eventually decide that I want to have a family, I think I would adopt, I'd like to think that it's not just DNA that can create a family.

Say in my case, I moved away from home at 16 and lived with my sister for a year, she acted as my surrogate mother.

I got accepted into the Met Film School in London! I'm so excited!!!!

I thought a surrogate mother was a woman who agrees to have another couple's/person's child.

Also congratulation.

That's awesome news! I should be getting my exam results soon which will decide if I get into college for my film course or not
Confident I'm gonna though c:

**Livewire2440** · 6th July 2012

Ive decided to do media and film in college :3

Good luck to you guys ~

**redback3** · 6th July 2012

One piece of advice I will give to everyone doing film:

NETWORK!!!! I made that mistake in college where I wasn't that sociable and I came out with DMM (ABB), I would've got a fuckton higher if I applied myself with others and did become more sociable.

Film / Media is 90% who you know, so always rub shoulders with people and talk with others and you will make it big, and of course, if you are passionate about your film making: you will do well.

why do so many london-goers appear to wear supreme outfitting so much
it's so trashy looking :x

**mikeyt493** · 6th July 2012

Bandwagon/OF fandom lol

I kind of hate Supreme, well not really I mean it doesn't at all look bad but it's extortionate and you're paying literally double or more of the price just for a label a lot of the time. I mean they're good quality clothes but there's so many other clothes lines that are cheaper and just as good quality. They're just taking liberties on being able to charge so much because Tyler The Creator reps them all the time and people love him lmao.

Going away for two weeks gays, cya also my computer just overheated on me and won't turn back on, really need a new one.

**DatWut?** · 6th July 2012

Good evening gays. How are you?
I'm hungry, and I don't have anything to eat.

**Alex Rider** · 6th July 2012

Just saw my trampolining coach on the BBC news running the Olympic Torch. At least it's a good bit of news with all things considered at the moment. Didn't help seeing the person I love on there though, painful memories!

She deserves it.

I'm amazing right now, I got a 5 on my AP test.

All them smug assholes in my class are bragging about 3s and 4s on FB, and they all called me a "dumb" and "lazy" Mexican (Apparently that's the only South American country they know?) throughout the year! Looks like the upper hand is on the other foot now, bitches!

Sorry for bragging, but I worked like an animal to get a good grade on that.

Blah, when the hell are we supposed to get those scores? I guess they come in the mail? Why can't they just post them online like the SAT scores?

In germany a 5 is a bad grade.
I have 3 of them.

Uh, no that's not true. Have you ever met someone who's been adopted? What makes someone a parent is loving and caring for their child, not having squeezed their child out of their vagina. That just makes them a biological parent.

Which is why I don't want kids. I hate committing to anything and I wouldn't care for them like I should. So instead of people calling me a monster and judging me and blah blah blah. I decided, why not just not have any children?

Rape_Man · 7th July 2012

For me it's the opposite. I definitely want a child of my own, carrying on my DNA, you know the stuff I'm biologically wired to do. And man, I feel good about having more people like me in the world in a future generation. But right now, I can't see myself being a father. I mean, I haven't even thought of future partnerships, could be with a man or a woman, who knows? At least life doesn't run out of surprises

**Spycrabz** · 7th July 2012

I want a biological child since I don't have any siblings to carry on my genes, so surrogacy is the only real option.
