• "Dirk…" Jake coughed out; blood dripping from his mouth as the pain finally caught up to him and came out with a small, dazed cry. The blonde's hands tightened over his shoulders, and Jake could just barely feel little droplets of water falling onto his face.
  
  "Rain…?"
  
  "Yes, Jake," Dirk finally spoke, his voice cracking almost unnoticeably, "It's raining, very hard."
  
  Jake smiled slightly, feeling the pain lessening ever so slowly and his body growing lighter with every breath. He weakly lifted his hand to Dirk's cheek and said drowsily, "I love you."
  
  Dirk's hands tightened again, "I love you too. You're going to be all right, okay? The ambulance is almost here. You're going to be okay."
  
  "Are you crying?" The reply was so hazy and light that it forced more tears down his cheeks, but Dirk forced himself to reply.
  
  "No," he said, his voice cracking louder this time, "Remember? It's raining."
  
  Jake smiled again. "Then don't let it rain for me."

  
  motherfuckin' feelings.

I've missed this dude so much.

Oh?

Shut up.

The only reason getting my PhD is going to take forever is because my damn advisor is way too busy to look at my work.

Good night, all. I'm going to bed.

I'm sure some of you are thinking, "Good riddance."

I wanted to play Dragon's Dogma but I don't wanna do something that can't potentially harm my PS3 so it looks like I'll have to wait till I've talked to the guys at Gamestop before I play games on it. I just wanna be sure, that red flashing light scared me since I can't afford a new PS3 atm.

Things I Never Learned In High School:

How to do taxes
What taxes are
How to vote
What political parties are
How to write a resume/cover letter/anything related to getting a job
How to write a check/balance a check book
Anything to do with banking
How to do loans for college
How to jump start a car or other basic emergency things
How to buy a car or house

...But I’m so glad I know the fucking pythagorean theorem

As someone who's turning legal in a couple weeks, I feel this is incredibly accurate. Who wants to begin their adult life wondering what the hell they're supposed to do about taxes, how the hell the banking system works, whether it's smart to get a loan or not... These are the things on my mind instead of celebrating the fact that I'm going to begin life...

Our math teacher taught us how to write out checks in grade school. It was part of our lessons in how to write out numbers as words. We learned how to balance a check book too. It's basic addition/subtraction. I also had my own savings account from age 8 and a checking account with my mom from age 16, so perhaps I retained the lessons better than some. We did discuss political parties some in Current Events class, but that could have been influenced by my presence, as my mom was a campaign manager at the time. The rest was never touched upon at all, though it certainly should be.
