Actually got off my lazy ass to run on the elliptical, at my house, for twenty minutes more or less. I think I might actually try losing weight again since school is coming to a close soon. 

[Corunes]

You actually want to pay it forward? Really?
Turns out there are some decent people in this world.

I also spent the last hour helping my sister pick clothing for her going out.

Is it really that weird?
I dunno... I guess I 'pay it forward' a little on a regular basis (opening doors for people, picking up things for people who have dropped them, etc), but I have a project in my sociology class where we have to pay it forward, 3 times with 3 different people. We can't do anything we do regularly though, so I can't think of anything to do.

It's just in my personality, though. I can't normally be mean to people since I was bullied as a child .-. I hated that feeling (I even blocked out the majority of my memories from 1st and 2nd grades because of it), and so I'm nice to people instead.

[Ixarku]

Hot damn o_o Those aren't wasps, are they?
Still, how soon can you call an exterminator?

Those are bees.  Wasps -- imagine an ant, but larger and with wings.
 
Bees are actually pretty important to agriculture since they do a lot of pollinating... blah blah blah, watch the Discovery Channel.  Wasps are important, too, since they prey on other insects.
 
Bottom line, though, it's probably better if the bees get relocated somewhere else away from people rather than just exterminated.  I've actually seen pictures of a guy in a beekeeper's suit using a big ass vacuum hose to just suck the little buggers into safe containment, for convenient relocation later.

Ah okay, I see o:

I've never really seen a wasp up close so I didn't know, lol. All I know is that they can be pretty dangerous D:

I like bees. Especially bee vomit.

This guy likes bees more than you.

[Corunes]

He definitely loves them more than me XD

That's a pretty cool video. Learning a lot, thank you for sharing o:

Oh, little things like that hardly count. If you don't hold the door open for people, that's just not cool man.

I responded differently to my less then pleasant childhood memories. I became a worse person. That's how wars end right?

[megido-rev.M]

Depending on timing, not holding the door is the same as closing it deliberately.
Not that I ever open them less than all the way.

yep... they are bees... too many of them... I'll bother about getting rid of them next month probably... waiting for my exam results which well decide whether I'm moving elsewhere or not... If I stay.. they[/i[ may have to leave

[megido-rev.M]

Much buzzing noises?

[Darth.Sid]

Surprisingly, no... They seem to be an extremely quiet bunch... Either that or its the calm before the storm

[megido-rev.M]

I don't believe bees go out into storms.

[Darth.Sid]

They don't go out into storms, they go out in storms!

[megido-rev.M]

You mean the bees storm at things.

[Darth.Sid]

maybe at me! who'd know!

[megido-rev.M]

Obviously you, if it happens, unless you're unconscious.

I wouldn't do it. I have seen what happens when you pay it forward in that movie. It doesn't turn out good.

You might get knifed

[megido-rev.M]

Being mean is a lot easier than one might think.

[Darth.Sid]

in other news... Iron man 3 released here... though I'm not the 'biggest' fan as such, I can't go because of my damned exams.... *sighs*

[megido-rev.M]

My last one is on Monday...
