I have done it for years, and I do it almost everyday. I dont know if this is a OCD or just i do it to think and get away and think about things. I've tried stopping,but I soon find out that I cant think straight sitting down, or in my bed. So i go back.

I just recently got my hair cut shorter than I have every had it before. I was down almost to my lowerback and now its rest easily above my shoulders. I think shorter hair looks more elegant and makes your face seem in the picture instead of covered up by all that hair. -I've gotten some interesting comments on the way I look by a few guys in my grade this year, but im not intested in any of them.

I would like to read it. I promise to you that I will, in no way give your work to another. Would you mind if I printed it out? Cause its a personal preference of mine, it allows me to analyze it better. lol But I do understand if you dont want me to, and I wont if that is your wish. later

I have to say my top favorite is The Lord of the Rings, amazing. Gone in Sixty Seconds is pretty good too,whoo hoo Nicolas Cage.

Welcome. My name is Jennifer. I guess im pretty young also,to know about objectivism, I'm 15. Have you read any of Ayn Rand's book? if so which ones?

Very nice. Do you have anymore poems? or are you working on any currently?

I just took the test. I am an INTJ. Introverted-89 Intuitive-50 Thinking-100 Judging-44 very expressed introvert moderately expressed intuitive personality very expressed thinking personality moderately expressed judging personality I have never taken a personality test before, but I doubt they are very valid. Since they are being measured on someone elses scale instead of your own.

Geez you people are harsh. Give the guy a break, so what if he wants to post something that has no point. Whose going to stop him? surely not you What is a person like that doing on here anyway. I dont know what people get out of going on a website and disagreeing and argueing with members about what they think is wrong, its a waste of their time.

wow you are a very good writer. I really liked your poem Ripple in Time, I felt that I could relate to that one, like im still holding onto something, and dont want to let go. That is what I got out of the poem atleast. Would you mind if I printed these, I found them really fascinating, i like to collect poems and stories i find interesting from the internet. It seemed to me as if the poems stood for more than they really were, and i really like literature that is like that.

Hey! Sounds like your book is interesting, im am very passionate when it comes to writing. You can never get me to shut up about it, so that is all I will say, or I will talk your ear off, I dont want to scare you away. lol Anyway Welcome.

I have a speach problem to that is slightly different than yours. I also never knew that I had a problem until my mom and my friends told me that I talked way too fast, don't pronunciate my words, and talk too low, but im stilled baffled because I have never noticed it before then . I do realize that I start jumbling my words together when I am nervous or when I talk too fast and feel as if I have to get my thoughts out. My parents were thinking about sending me to a speach therapist, but they only mentioned it once, and none after that. I do realize that my speach is one of the causes of my low self esteem, and I have been trying to improve on it. So I tend to ask people if they understood what I said, which can be embaressing at times. I have found out that the main reason people dont understand what I say is because I don't enunciate my words correctly. Do you know any speach exercises I could try? Do you recommend going to a speach therapist?

wow! That was genius! im going to print that, if i may? lol yea Devils_advacate ,the John Gault part was cute.

great! so when can i join?

lol. I'm not going to even try to explain objectivism to my family, but i know my friends would give me hell, their "faithful" christians.

hey Im 15, I found out about objectivism when i read Anthem back in February, and i loved that book and she seemed like a unique and interesting writer and people were telling me how good Atlas Shrugged was. So then i decided to read it, i finished it yesterday, it took me 2 months! At first i felt sort of scared and lost and i felt like throwing the book away, becuase i found something true about myself in the book, and something that i had been looking for. Ayn Rand has allowed me to see reality for the first time and what some poeple are really like. It seem like before i was in this kind of dream, and i use to be really shy, but now i feel like i have to speak out about my opinoin and not care about other people,or tolerate people treating me anyway they like. Miss Rand has also shown me what to strive for in life, and i use to feel this thing in my stomach and it felt like it was holding me down and wouldnt let me go, i realized i wasnt giving myself enough credit, that i allowed what people say affect my emotions, and i use to not like having any close friends but now im fine, since im mainly concerned with myself from now on. i think the over all objective of the book did affect me alot, about happiness as your goal in life, reason as your initiative and having your own self esteem. but i have to say the end sort of killed me, part of me wanted Francisco to end up with Dagny, he was my hero, but John Galt is alright too.

seeing as i am a 15 year old, my parents never really have said much about sex. Except "wait until your married" and dont give any random guy a blow job, you could get herpies. Like i would even do that, Im not that kind of girl, i think they are more worried about the boy. I would have appreciated if very much if they said why, but it seems as if you have to figure things out for yourself, but i do wish i had an an adult who was perhaps in the 20-30 range to talk to about it. My main problem with my parents is they never told me why not to do it, they never said anything about values, or anyone special, and once again, I had to learn that from Miss Rand. The only person I talk to about sex is my boyfriend. I think it should be that way, that the two people that are in the relationship, should have an understanding of what the other wants or doesnt. He has decided to stay abstinent, for his own reasons. Though he is 5 years older than me, we share the same views in many issues. but anyway. I think you should talk to your niece, i know i would rather talk to you about it than my parents, and may be more obliged to ask you more questions, while as if i was talking to my parents about it, i wouldnt say anything at all.

I am currently taking spanish in school. I will have my second year of it next year. But i am considering teaching myself some German starting August, since my getting ahead by going to summer school will be over with by then.

here! here! I have a very poor social life and spend most of my time studying and researching things that interest me. But it isnt as if i havent tried, all last year I talked to people but for some reason they just stop talking to me. I try my best to carry on a decent conversation, but i soon find out i have nothing in common with them, but I still talk to them,casue i felt invisible. the friends i did have i found out werent really my friends at all, they talk about me behind my back, which one of them happily admitted, and they told me that no one knew who I was..but the thing is I dont care, I dont live my life for them. I use to cry because i didnt have friends, but after reading Atlas Shrugged(currently reading still) i have found out that, it doesnt matter.So i just decided to give up, and besides i dont have anything in common with people my age, they rather go out and do things which are a waste and act immature. then in my spanish class, the teacher use to brag about the good grades i got, which i have no control over what comes out of somebody elses mouth, and they use to say to him that im not all that great. I use to shrug it off and not pay any attention to it. But in 10th grade, i refuse to tolerate it anymore, i will not have someone damn me because im smart and work my ass off.

My family doesnt even go to church and every Sunday my mom claims that she is going to church next week, she says something bad might happen..ha....so when she thinks something is going to happen she decides she is going to chruch. Who does she think she is fooling. The church we use to attend was one of the most demanding churches. When i use to ask questions and told them of the things i liked..they claimed it was the devil, and forced what they believe down your throat. And they are always wanting money, it is always doing charity benefits....they need money for everything. They even shun other churches and are refered to as a "cult". They are the biggest examples of hypocrites i have seen, and they call themselves christian. for example: My uncle was taking this experiecing God class and he had to buy this book for it. They church said that they were not allowed to tell others about the class or show them the book. That is very selfish and very silly..it makes no since.

The same goes for me. It wont even let me log in..as soon as the window appears and loads it disappears.

Well I am 15, and i have come to find out that most kids my age have no clue who Ayn Rand is and could care less about objectivism and philosophy..what a waste.
