    Well, of course the names here are different than yours, except for some international ones. I suggested the name Jonathan (pronounced here as Yonatan) but they didn't take it. I'm saving this name for my first one...hopfully (if they won't use it now...). What I don't understand here is why some peple wait until the circumcision ceremony when the baby is 8 days old (my god, what a ceremony!) before revealing the child's name. Unaccepted imo! My kid (he or she) will have a name from the second he's/she's born.

        That episode was what, 2 weeks ago? People probably forgot about it. Plus, there were many other memorable lines, mostly revolving around "Kevin is special..."

          Just sitting here (it's after midnight) and watching some vids of Shadow Of The Colossus (PS2) on youtube. I played this game last year but never finished it. I think I got to the 9th one and couldn't beat it - and stopped playing after that. An amazing game!

            Re: OS Off Topic

            So I'm thinking seriously about leaving this job. I mean, it's not only that I don't understand their managing system, but I also feel like an alien. U'd expect that after 2 months I'd be able to talk to more than 1 person there, but I can't. And I feel/act very unnatural and even amazed by the stupid things I say do sometimes. The moment I leave the building I come back being myself. It's never happened to me at any work in the past and it's just starting to beat me...I almost cried today when I came home and if not for my wife who supports me no matter what, I'd be falling apart.
            And to think that my supervisor at the pre-previous work (who left in 2006) sent me text messegase twice last year - asking me if I want to work at the place she's supervising at. I saw her on the bus last month and told her where I workd and all that...who knows, if I run into her again I might check out if there's a position available there. and the supervisor who replaced her was a friend of mine for a while even after I left. I remember he asked me if I wanna come back there, but they were looking for some1 to work from noon to night and I'm not gonna do that. If there's a chance they're looking some1 for regular hours with once noon-night a week - that could work for me...
            Anyway, I still have this InDesign course at work every Sunday and I'd better finish it (until early July) and then think of leaving (though I signed a totally illegal paper that forces me to stay there for a year, or pay them about $300... But hey! just take the money and leave me alone!) Anyway, I really feel like my supervisor doesn't like me (professionally and mentally), and the designer I share an office with (whom I suppoed to help to) don't like me either. On sunday, just before I had that (negative) evaluation talk, he called her - so I guess he asked her about me. I really hope she said bad things (which is probably true) - so there's a chance they will fire me eventually (the sooner the better).

            As usual, I'm bothering u with my stupid problems, but since my wife is asleep (it's almost 1am here) there's no1 to talk to.

            Thanks for reading (even if u aren't commenting).

              I LOVE THE OFFICE!!! It and Curb Your Enthusiasm are far and away my favorite TV shows that are on right now. They're right up there with Seinfeld too.

                Quite an eventful senior class trip today...

                We went to Hersheypark, stayed from 11 AM to abour 7:30. For those that aren't familiar with Hersheypark, right across from the entrance is Chocolate World, which is basically a big gift shop and also has a "factory tour" ride that shows you how they make all their candy and stuff. Me and like 10 of my friends decide to go on it just for the hell of it. At the end of the ride, there's a photo op, and we usually just screw around and do stupid stuff, but a few of my friends decided to take it a little further. One of them threw up the shocker and the other pretended to go down on another one of my friends. When we got out to where you could see the pictures, instead of the picture of us, it was a screen that said "offensive material will not be shown or sold". When we get to the bottom of the ramp, the guy kicks us all out, not just the guys that did it, but all 12 of us. The guard went on a straight power trip and started yelling like a pansy too.

                We figured that he just kicked us out of Chocolate World so we tried to go back into the park and he was like "where are you going? the parking lot's this way". Since we were with the school, we had no car, but because we graduate in 2 days we didn't want to risk getting in trouble, so we just told him we came by ourselves. He followed us all the way out into the parking lot to our "cars". Luckily, one of my friend's friends lives 20 minutes away and actually was with us and met us there, so 6 of us tried to pack into his small *** car while the other 6 just kept walking...the guard just stopped at the car and walked back, so we just did a lap around the parking lot, my friend's friend dropped us off in a random place and then left, and we walked all the way back.

                All of us changed shirts and then walked all the way through the employee lot to get back to the main gate without having to walk by Chocolate World and got to the gate without a problem. We decided to split up into 3 groups so nobody got suspicious, but I was getting crazy anxiety and freaked out every time I saw a security guard. We got in without problems and spent the last 2 hours in the park like nothing happened...hopefully we don't do anything that stupid during senior week.

                      Ah you crazy kids!

                      Although I think the security guard went a little too far. If anything, he should've kicked out the offenders and not those who did nothing wrong. It just goes to show that you can't be too crazy sometimes

                      I'm surprised the photo machine could tell that there was offensive material unless it's not fully automated and there's a person that helps develop the pics.

                      Ah well, at least you got a story to tell your kids when you're older.

                          Yeah, at Hersheypark Arena, which is right outside of the park. We actually passed the landmark sign that mentioned the 100 point game when we were trying to bust back in.

                                Haha very nice. We had a similar issue our senior year at the Cleveland Zoo. It was the weekend of prom and no one ever goes to school the following Monday. Well, anyone who lives in Cuyahoga county gets into the zoo for free on Mondays. So we go, and debate which line we should go into to get in. Well we picked the line that had this bitch working who noticed we weren't any older than high schoolers (they check IDs to make sure people are residents), so she told us she was going to call our school and get us in trouble. Well, we pretended to walk back to our cars, but we walked back and got back in another line and got in no problem.

                                Everything was all fine and good until we got to this kiddy slide that we all jokingly wanted to go on. Turns out the lady who wanted us in trouble was waiting at the bottom of the slide, so those of us who hadn't gone down turned around and bolted across this rope bridge and jumped over little kids, and the only place we could find to go to "hide" was a barn with goats in it, haha.
