Is It Illegal To Glue A Debit PinPad To The Counter?

Sure, spoil my image of dorm life in American colleges! Don't tell me the shaving cream's a one night thing! Nothing that exciting ever happens here. The best we got is parking services is slowly blocking off the building, one side at a time, putting up fences to prevent pedestrians getting through. Without telling the residence staff they are going to do it.

I saw the Guy in Charge talking to the Security Guy in Charge and Random Guy who I asssume is With the College Parking Services, so hopfully, the fences will be coming down, cutting the three blocks I current have to walk out of the way back down to one and a half.

But yeah, teacher voice does wonders on people. I, on the other hand, am so unprepossessing, I'm going to be a book editor. One of the jobs with the lowest rate of interacting with people to doing work ratio ever. I am shy. Fear me!

Haha. We've had to call the cops (more than once) for parties, domestic disputes (no one in my apt though), etc....uhmmmm....yeah, the shaving cream WAS a one-night thing, but we had a waterfight one night too. Inside. THAT was fun . Let's see...I lived next door to a subwoofer last year. That sucked - I have vertigo, and loud noise at low frequencies vibrates my inner ear and makes me dizzy. My freshman year, we had an entire wing of the FRESHMAN dorm (all female) running around drunk and in undies. No bras, shorts, shirts, etc. Just...undies. No, I didn't see it or take pictures/video, etc. My sophomore year, I had to tell girls to go BACK into their rooms, put some clothes on, THEN come back out (similar scenario, minus the drunk).

And yes, the teacher voice is one of my best assets. Combine it with my height and a particularly threatening/nonthreatening choice of words, and I'm kinda scary sometimes lol. I'm harmless though - until you REALLY piss me off

Ok Giraffe, I feel better now. My completely unrealistic view of college life is safe, and I can go back to grousing about how absolutely none of it ever happens around here. Ah well, I know people with interesting lives. I don't envy them. Much.

[thegiraffe]

Haha aww...poor baby lol.

My roomies and I aren't much for the partying/insane scene (well, we're kinda insane, but THAT'S a different story), so we create our own fun. We're not missing out at all.

[Broomjockey]

"It's okay, I don't need you guys, I'll make my OWN fun."
Come on Mr. Sock, it's your turn.
*jump, jump, jump*
Darn you sock! You always win at checkers!

As you can see, neither sanity nor lack of good times afflict me with any strength!

[thegiraffe]

hahahahaha....wow.

That sounds like something one of my roommates would concoct. Though, instead of a sock, it'd be like a dinosaur or squid or something.

[Broomjockey]

My choices are Mr. Sock, Link, Zelda, Gannondorf, Syndrome, or a 2 ft. dragon. I think I could take the sock if it came down to it. If I had all my stuff, rather than the paired down version to fit in my teensy-tiny room, I could have Kermit, a Pound Puppy, or the top half of a T-Rex's skeleton to choose from as well.

And that's rather tame. You should have seen the time my roommate and came up with different theories about what causes time.

[thegiraffe]

Bored much?

[Broomjockey]

With my imagination, I am never bored. I have myriad adventures waiting just around the next lull! Of course, that imagination can lead to paralyzing fear as I consider just exactly what could go wrong in any particular conversation.

So I just play the "I'm the quiet, shy, intelligent guy" card. Lots of friends who happen to be female. And in long-term committed relationships. Works for me. I might actually understand these beings called "girls" before one manages to blind side me

[thegiraffe]

Haha yeah, that's always good. Just beware the "I love you like a brother" card. Guys complain about it, and girls love having a "Brother" friend. You won't get any that way though lol.

[Broomjockey]

I've not only received the "like a brother" card, but played it. The one that really burns is the "one of the girls" card. Seriously, I don't wanna hear about how you got down and funky with some guy, or your bedroom habits, or stuff like that. Yeah, I'm your friend, but I still have emotional boundaries!

[thegiraffe]

Hahahaha....the "like a brother" or "one of the girls" cards erase that boundary.

Good luck!!

[Broomjockey]

Argh! I wish someone had told me about that sooner! I'll suffer through, though people will continue to wonder at the wonderful shade of scarlet that my face turns!

[thegiraffe]

Haha yeah, girls tend to delight in turning guys' faces bright red.

In high school, guys would stay away from us when we were in groups becuase they knew we were talking about things such as undies, periods, etc...

A few unlucky ones walked into it accidentally. They only did it once though. We were sure to up the ante when they came around.
