This is for you Nesta

Definately glad that nesta is around. I really enjoy reading his super informative posts. Especially the ones on different beers and liquors and also a few of the cigar posts. Not much of a cigar man myself, but nonetheless, his posts are always sure to be an interesting read. Glad to have ya around man. Cheers!

yeah, Nesta does a lot to make the HF as good as it is.

 

Nesta rocks. I'm glad somebody finally did this.

 

Nesta's posts are well structured and very informative. Thanks Nesta.

 

nesta is one of the most knowledgable members of these here forums. ive looked to his posts for info ever since i joined here. bravo nesta

 

Speaking of Nesta, where the hell has he been. I dont recall seeing any posts by him except for the 2 appretiation threads in months.

 

He's around.

 

lol he obviously doesn't realize there is a thread in his honour yet. He probably hasn't checked the forums yet.

 

aw, shucks....thanks guys.

and i haven't started many threads here lately with the exception of the appreciation threads (btw, there are certainly more to come!)

i also have been busy at work with my new promotion, class started this week, and i've also been doing more stuff outside of spending time on here, which is on the whole a mostly good thing.

btw, show.....have you gotten your new place yet? a housewarming gift may be appropriate, though i currently still have my housewarming gift from you still waiting for me....

anyway, i appreciate this post a lot and all the people who have something nice to say about me or someone else.

but for the record in real life i'm quite different....a lot more silly, random, and (if i may dare to toot my own horn) a tad funny as well.....

but i am also capable of being a dick and have made some rude or condescending posts and comments in my time, but i'm trying to get past that and be more congenial in general. many times lately i've found myself writing out a decently lengthy post and then thinking better of it and going to do something else....i think knowing when i should just keep my mouth shut has done me some good

so i'm in pretty good spirits today. work is good, class is good (so far) and i think i'll get an ok grade....and tonight i submitted my application for the university i want to transfer to. i'm currently going to a community college which doesn't even offer 4 year degrees.....i'm excited at the prospect of going to a university in the fall and being a full time student and just worrying about classes for the most part with work being secondary for a change. i've recently had some improvements in my self esteem and come to realize that i'm a reasonably intelligent person and should feel no shame in real life for having a desire to pursue academic interests, and i think i've figured out what i really want to do with school....

a few factors play into it, but in short despite not having a very good GPA right now there is no reason i shouldnt be admitted.....and its a good school with a lovely campus. i'm stoked! hopefully this time next year i'll be at indiana university, majoring in sociology and minoring in psychology. the dorm i want to go to will be like only a 15 minute walk from my sister's dorm, too! so that would be sweet.

anyway as usual i'm rambling.

thanks guys, you made a good night even better!

and like i said, there are more appreciation threads on the way...i probably won't get to EVERYONE who deserves one though, so i'll just say for the record now that you all rock!

in the cosmology of the internet, everything revolves around the stoners lounge at hipforums

 

have fun with all the amish in Bloomington my friend tells me there aint much else there.

 

in the short time that ive been here ive always liked reading your posts nesta. im sad to say that im not even going to be on as much because im moving to a new house and wont be able to get internet. it will be nice to get out of this small trailer that i am living in right now though. the new house has a full basement and two bathrooms. its completely new also it was just built and we will be the first people to live in it. ill be on as much as i can even thought after a day or so its hard to catch back up on past threads and posts. ive come to love these threads and im sad that i wont be able to come on as much as i would like but i definatly would rather live in a house then a 12 by 60 trailer

 

I'm sad too, you're always so nice.

But kudos on the move!

 

yeah, its a bummer you wont be here much, but i definately think that sounds like a nice upgrade i always though if i was really rich i'd want several homes, but one or two would be just mostly for fun....so one would be several trailers lined up end to end with the walls busted out of the ends so they could be linked together. i'd have them all on the side of a hill so the house would be on an incline. inside the home i'd construct one of the worlds largest hotwheels tracks of course that will always be a pipedream

and deadhead, bloomington actually kicks a lot of ass. there are a lot of amish folks in brown county (a bit east) if i'm not mistaken, but bloomington is pretty awesome itself. its got a pizza place that i'd say is on the same level as hound dogs, but quite a different style of pizza...just equally good. it's called mother bears. and everything mostly revolves around the college. its a small town, but a college town with plenty to do. free movies shown in the student union, usually some live shows at various locations, good food, a really good used music/dvd store called tracks....all sorts of cool stuff on campus, and pretty laid back. definitely more fun than newark, thats for sure

i'd say its more like yellow springs than columbus OSU campus, but still not much like either. its laid back and kinda "hip" and has a youthful face and atmosphere to it, and is clean, safe, and homey like yellow springs, but its not quite so over-the-top and hippyish as yellow springs. all the good food is local, but you can still get a fast food burger if you want

 

nesta is a great person. his posts are always interesting to read and i always like responding to them.

 

yah nesta is one of my favorite posters. hes always intelligent and never seems to be mean to anyone.

 

nesta is a great person his posts are always a wonderful read, and I learn something new pretty much everytime I read em well.... the long detailed ones at least... but most are long and detailed.

All in all, nesta you are the shit!

 

huh she always said there wasnt anything to do around there but then again she aint very social. And your definitely right about it being more fun than newark just about every place is but o well next year ill be going to school in the county of 101 lakes (bout 4 hours north of bloomington i believe) where there will be lots of fun.

btw what school are you going to know cstate?

 

i'm currently in beginning algebra, but most of my classes have been psychology focused....one of my favorites was abnormal psychology. also a few sociology type classes and some other things here and there. i almost hope some of the sociology and psychology classes wont transfer credits to IU just so i can take more of these types of classes....i think they're fascinating, and its the type of class that i almost always genuinely enjoy.

 

as for being in beginning algebra (math 102) i haven't taken a math class in four years, and haven't had a math class i cared about in at least 5 or 6 years. not one math course since highschool.

i never did well in math. i probably could have if i'd "applied myself" but to be perfectly honest i just didnt care about it. because math didnt interest me at the time, i blew it off and only took tests and less than 50% of the time actually bothered to do homework.

algebra I i had to retake....sophomore year i took it and got the textbook of the girl that sat behind me the previous year in the same class. my little sister is a year younger than me, and we were in the same class. junior year i took geometry, and that was pretty cool. but i didnt do well enough or even want to take higher math classes, and was sent to "precollege math," which i think might have been the easiest math class you could take and still graduate, or at least close to it. i cared so little about it a made it a game for myself to see how far off topic i could manipulate the class into getting. it wasn't unheard of for us to take up to as much as half an hour of bullshitting and talking about just whatever and laughing all the time before the teacher got fed up enough to actually get us to do something. luckily he was a cool guy and pretty much didnt get too pissed off or anything....and a guy who sat next to me was pretty cool, and we sort of just fed off each other's bizarre random comments and jokes and pretty much were equal partners in derailing the class agenda every day.

fun times, but it didnt exactly leave me with the best math skills or confidence. i've always considered math my weakness. but testing i've taken would indicate otherwise (my SAT score for math was only 40 points lower than the other score) so i know i'm generally as capable at math as other subjects, it just doesnt come as naturally and requires more work on my part. and i'm lazy and hate working much. i like things that come easy....

but with my CSCC entry testing, i failed to test into a good math course. which is for the best, i think even this pretty easy and rudimentary math course will be a challenge for me. best not to set unrealistic goals and feel bad when i fail.......

so yeah, once again its the easier math class for me :\

 

Perhaps the forums can give you a few case studies in abnormal psychology!
