Whenever I have to shake hands, I employ my CRUSHING GRIP and people stop trying to shake my hands. They don't complain either, since it would make them seem crazy.

Argh. You. You bastard. I don't shake hands whenever possible, but people that do what you do are always the ones that want handshakes. "Shake my hand, so I can put you in unbearable agony while I grind the broken bone ends together! Then I can be all offended when you're freaking out over the injury!"
Note: I noticed you say that you don't like shaking hands, so this isn't really directed AT you, but at people who shake like you do.

Remalle, the attitude you go into a challenge with in large part defines how well you'll perform. Rather than rip yourself apart, why not channel that energy to tackle the areas of SAT study that you're iffy on? Also, there are a lot of life lessons and experiences that working shitty jobs can teach you... among them the value of working hard in order to not end up doing those jobs forever. One way or another, however, life will go on.

Even if public indecency laws were repealed, I doubt most people would take advantage of it. In fact, I know that's the case. Women are allowed to be topless in the entirety of New York State, and you are permitted to walk about stark naked in the city of Portland, but these things have taken no hold.

Asheville now permits women to walk around topless. Although as a friend pointed out, many of the women most likely to take advantage of this ruling are not necessarily the ones most men would prefer to take advantage of it.

So... I don't have an AP course at my school. I have the books AP Microeconomics, AP Physics B, AP Environmental Science, AP Biology, AP Calculus in front of me.



At least I studied Biology once. The others, not really ...

Let's see... Rejection, being ostracized, making a complete and utter fool of myself. Among other things.

All short term and over-exagerated in you mind.  And, by not going out there and just trying, you are condeming yourself to the twilight land of stagnation, never getting better and more confident.

Nobody is going to ostracize you and follow you around your whole life laughing at you because you failed.  And why is that such a turn off if they did?  If some dumbass wants to waste his time degradating you instead of bettering himself, who's going to look worse?

I only do that to people who do that to me. For what it's worth, I could close and keep closed the highest pressure grippers at the PT office when I was rehabbing my broken hand.

[GlyphGryph]

Are you afraid of something? :|

Let's see... Rejection, being ostracized, making a complete and utter fool of myself. Among other things.

First is a bit silly to be afraid of, second isn't going to happen, and the last is something everyone does every day, and something you're already doing right now, so might as well do it productively, right?

Handshakes suck for me because I've got a broken right pinky finger, and everyone seems to ignore you when they grab your hand and crush it. So I end up with grinding bone ends, shouting, "Hey, fucking stop that!"
The judge was most displeased until I explained he was maiming me.

I have a crushing grip but I can identify a person who doesn't like a handshake/has an injury to their hand/doesn't like touching others. My dad, my uncle, and my grandfather are the only ones I use True Crush Power. Then they make my metacarpals grind together, as all three of them are with regard to grip strength many times stronger than I. "We may be old, but we've still got it!"

Got into a fight with my brother.

He was berating about how tiring it was to wake me up. I'm sorry if I had to put the guy on the job, but I really needed his help. I asked a little bit more help from him, but he exploded. Somehow, it turned into a debate on respect, and because I owed him a life debt, I should always just do nothing when he starts insulting me and badmouthing me. Damn guy probably doesn't consider anything I do to be worth anything, because he keeps yelling at me about how he does a lot of favors for me and I don't do a lot (which isn't true; I do a lot, such as hanging his clothes and a bunch of other things) for him.

Guy said that I should respect him just because he is my brother, and he doesn't need to respect me because I'm the younger (the youngest of a trio of brothers) brother in the family. Naturally, my face turned sour.

[pisskop]

Back up to "owe him a life debt".  A story is within this story.

[Trapezohedron]

I respectfully decline. I have said a great many things about my life here, and I believe I'd put my identity into further jeopardy if I did.

Woke up this morning to my parents saying my granddad has had a stroke and may have to go to hospital.

To put this in some context, my grandma on my mother's side died a couple of weeks ago, I never knew my granddad on my mother's side. My grandma on my father's side has severe Alzheimers, she is essentially a vegetable that can swallow if you put small amounts of food in her mouth. My granddad on my father's side is in good health, but employs my mother as a carer for my grandma when he has to go out, this is our main source of income.

So if my granddad had to be hospitalized it would be very bad because my grandma would have to be put into a home (can't afford to pay to have someone with her 24/7 at the house) and my household would lose it's main source of income, forcing us to live of savings.

Luckily, it turns out he doesn't. He phoned us up this morning saying that he couldn't move his arm (because he has developed gout, but he didn't tell us this) and his speech was slurred (because he left his dentures out, he also didn't tell us this). I was scared half to death.

Shush, don't spoil the plan.
