Oh, also I bought a silk screening kit!
Dude, can I use it, I have a killer Idea for a shirt. We can totally make this happen. I just need to clean it up (just used it to screen a bunch of album covers for my band) then it`s good to go again. I`m not the best at it yet, takes a bit of trail and error, but send me the idea you want and we`ll figure out if it`s do-able

I think he's just saying, as a general rule, teenagers are a bunch of knobs. This is something I subscribe to myself. Go for a walk in a mall, or take a late bus at night. The proof is in the pudding my friends. This forum just happened to be a vestige for decent people of all ages and thus, all of yall teen-TIGers are fine with me. It's the rest of those teeny jerks you gotsta watch out for!  Remember: Vote Sugarbeard for the new voice of logic and reason!

I don't think I've ever had a job interview where the employer looked at my marks. My schoolings definitely must have helped me in getting the interview, but from there it's usually my charm and boy-ish good looks that seals the deal.
In fact I'd say more importantly for a good job is a good portfolio that can show off what you can do. But maybe this is deviating a bit from the topic.
You seem to not be enjoying your school. That's a lot of time and money to put into something you don't enjoy. Leave it. Get a part time job somewhere that doesn't require a lot of brain work. Make some games. In a couple years, if you want to, go back to school for something that you'd enjoy more.
EDIT: Wait... What's BAC mean in north american school terms? Is that like your High School Diploma? Cuz dude... you at least need to finish high school. If not then I revert back to my "fuck it" mentality.

18 is pretty young to call it quits on school. But if you're crazy passionate about doing it then whatever, go for it. You're still young, so if things goto shit you still have lots of time in your life to get things together again. You only live once, right? Except those people that don't....

I`ve been having a LOT of fun with Uncharted 2 this past week. The single player campaign has got me pretty hooked. And it just looks beautiful.

I know it`s already been said, but Neutral Milk Hotels Aeroplane Over The Sea is that greatest thing ever pushed into vinyl. But other then that....
Best hiphop - MADVILLIAN - MADVILLANY (or anything DOOM has touched) Best punk - Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come Best electronic - Daft Punk - Homework Best folk - Devendra Branhart - Rejoicing In Hands Best live album - Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong EP
I could keep going... so I`ll stop there.

Yeah, the best Mouse album for me is always a perpetual battle between The Moon, Sad Sappy Sucker, and A Long Drive. I can never decide, and I doubt I ever will (or want to!)  While I agree that those are there 3 best albums, Long Drive will always be my personal number one. You get the rough sounds from Sad Sappy, with the arrangements from The Moon. It's the best of both worlds. And the guitar at the end of Mechanical Birds is my favorite sound coming from a guitar ever. EVER. Wait, I thought Lonesome Crowded West was universally agreed to be their best. As for me I can't decide between ANY of their albums, barring the last two. Yea I think most people consider it there best. And don`t get me wrong it`s got some great tracks, Teeth Like Gods Shoeshine etc... But I still prefer the sound of Long Drive.
