jhocking:
bloody hell, my chest is still sore. A little while ago I think I strained a tendon right in the middle of my chest, where my pecs attach to my ribs. For the last couple weeks, when I go swimming I have to swim backstroke the entire time, because it hurts to swim crawl.

It all depends on the context. There are some areas where it's irresponsible for the teacher not to tell you what to do, but there are some areas where going to the effort of figuring things out for yourself will teach you much more than simply being spoon-fed the information.

And that would be a fine example of when it makes for bad instruction. I still wouldn't step through exactly how to solve the problem, but I would at least point him in the right direction.

RE: Casual dating & coming on too strong
It is very very possible to come on to strong. Take my last date, that I posted about here. The dude basically insisted that we go back to his house, and once there almost demanded that I drink. I've had other people tell me that I am so much cooler than their last girlfriend on our very very first date. Telling me that I am amazing and awesome every five seconds, especially if we have only been hanging out for an hour, is not complimentary. It is creepy. I don't want to hear about how I will make an awesome mother for your kids on our first fucking date. That is coming on way to strong.
Alex C:
I'm really thankful for guys who come on way too strong, since I'm basically incapable of lavishing praise on people without feeling really awkward about it. I'm not much of a date, but there's just enough doofuses out there hurling themselves at women that my insecurities are sometimes mistaken for tactful restraint. Go me.
Jace:
I usually tell girls how cool they are at certain intervals, usually after things come up in conversation. Like "oh, you like playing video games that aren't totally retarded? You're really cool." "Oh, you like to build lego stuff? You're super cool."
Croc Head,
I haven't been to Kung Fu or seen my roommate in like two days. I'm sort of avoiding him because I keep missing class.
squawk:
My friend asked me, "dude, how do you know so many random people? i was just on your facebook music page and a lot of the fans are these people from different states/countries whom i don't know?" Oh, Internet Life! You're so fun.
I have consumed maybe five bags of roasted plantains from Trader Joe's in the last four days.
