There's a techie opening with an $18/hr starting salary and full benefits/protections I can get, guaranteed, if I am willing to suffer the 40+ hour work week. I don't see myself doing so well this semester that I can earn the full scholarship/transfer that I desperately want. If I get the job, I have financial security and can begin piecing together an actual life.
I would do this for a while.
Then at 24 you can declare yourself an independent student and file for FAFSA.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

It would appear I didn't see this part (or read it and didn't read it). This sounds like an alright choice.
The Wire's awesome, and where do you live in Portland?
Condo in the Pearl.
Don't shoot me! I swear I'm not a snob!

Also also, fuck CSI Miami especially because it's so goddamn creepy and reactionary. Every episode is about people dying because they smoked the devil weed, or had non-missionary sex, or let an immigrant trim their bushes or something.

Yeah, in the US, your financial aid benefits are tied to your parent's income until the age of 24.
The biggest thing Oboro needs to be careful of is to not get sucked into the grind. Don't take out any debt, try to keep expenses to a minimum, and save up as much money as possible.

Word -- where at?
I'm rarely in the Pearl, although my homegirl works at this bougie ass boutique somewhere in there, near that weird park with all the slatted boardwalk-y type shit right there. I guess maybe some Thursday I should actually go to First Thursday, but the whole obnoxious fashion parade aspect of it sorta sucks my will to live if I'm not good and toasted beforehand.

That and actually acting like an adult at some point.

No, pretty much I avoid First Thursday and it always pisses me off because there's extra traffic and retarded pedestrians having conversations in the middle of intersections and shit.
Where are you at? Also recommend a good breakfast place, I've pretty much burned myself out on all my favorites lately.

Is First Thursday different from First Friday? I mean, besides the obvious?

I'm right in the heart of Hawthorne, real close to the Freddy's and the Baghdad (is that the Baghdad? I always get it mixed up) down in the 30s.
My favorite breakfast place in all of Portland is Bertie Lou's, in Sellwood (even Hacksaw ate there!), on SE 17th and Spokane.
Besides that, I have a soft spot for Sewickly's (sp?) because it's one of those super greasy greasy spoons at like 49th and Hawthorne. You get big portions, full of grease, and it has the tackiest decor you've seen in your life as well as a cavernous, painfully underlit bar next door from which you can order the whole range of cocktails even at 11 in the morning. It's fucking money when you roll out of bed with a hangover, get a huge, greasy, cheesy omelet with some hashbrowns, and then order a bloody mary or two.
There's a couple hip places here on Hawthorne and Belmont that always have lines, but I haven't been able to fully explore them all at this point. I stand by Bertie Lou's as the best breakfast place I've found in quite a few different places. I ate there a lot at my old apartment.

First Thursday is when all the Pearl district art galleries (of which there are many) open their doors and set out new exhibits for the hipsters to come see and be seen at. I don't know what First Friday is.

Hell yes, I need more east side places. I mean there are some nice restaurants here in the Pearl but a lot of them lack character.
Yeah, I find myself eating lots of bar food around town, there's only a few restaurants I really go in for. Belmont between like 20 and 40 has quite a few places, ditto for Hawthorne. There's some hip cafe right next to my house I went to once (and enjoyed), but the lines have kept me from going back since then.
You should really talk to my friend Diana -- haha -- she's made it a mission to eat at a new breakfast place every time she eats breakfast in Portland. I haven't checked in with her recently to see how the rankings were looking, but I do know she likes the cafe here at like 37th and Hawthorne (Good Morning Cafe maybe?).
There's some okay places over in the Alphabet district, too, if you don't want to bother with the bridges.
Yeah, I heard that they were having tryouts a few weeks ago in LA. I don't know if they were auditioning anywhere else.
I am optimistic for greatness, but am wary that they'll give it a retarded presentation given the updates in electronic flashiness. Although I don't remember the first series holding back on stuff like that, so it might survive.

edit: Daybreak Cafe maybe?
See ok this is my list
Mother's Cafe
Daily Cafe
Fenoieul (really fancy french place that I would only go to if feeling really really fancy, also probably spelled wrong)
Byways Cafe
Gravy
Tin Shed (or Tin Roof or Tin Something)
So all these new things you're telling me? Eeeexcellent.
It's always good style to express things as succinctly as possible.
Do you know how hard it is to write a long paper while trying to write things as succinctly as possible?
Do you know how much subtlety and depth you lose when you try to write things as succinctly as possible?
Are you honestly this dense? If you're losing anything, you aren't expressing the same thing more succinctly; you're expressing something else.
suc·cinct
1. expressed in few words; concise; terse.
2. characterized by conciseness or verbal brevity.
Nothing mentioned about keeping depth or subtlety. But, back on topic. Weeee.
I didn't say anything about nouns, either; maybe I should have mentioned those too?
If you absolutely cannot make a sentence more succinct without losing subtlety and meaning, than it fucking obviously isn't POSSIBLE to express the THINGS you want to any more succinctly, you pedantic shitsucker.
So much hate, but, I guess that's what someone who watches House would think is "cool"
"It's always good style to express things as succinctly as possible."
Is what you wrote, this we can agree upon.
Here's the definition of the world always:
every time; on every occasion; without exception
Here's the definition of the word succinctly:
expressed in few words; concise; terse.
Here's the definition of possible:
that may or can be, exist, happen, be done, be used
So, using the simple law of substitution:
It's on every occasion, without exception better style to express things in as few words as can be done.
That was your statement.
Now, in your own head, you had this tacked on.
It's on every occasion, without exception better style to express things in as few words as can be done (without sacrificing depth or meaning).
That's what you thought, but that is not what you said.
Can you not see the great irony of this? By trying to be overly succinct in your statement about how being succinct is being superior, you cut off to much of your sentence and lost it's proper meaning.
Now, you may have meant to imply that you should not sacrifice depth or meaning, but you never stated it. In fact, you stated an absolute with the world always.
To conclude, learn to admit when you are wrong instead of being stubborn about it.

Man, that stuff is disgusting and lazy of Mountain Dew. It's just Code Red and Livewire damnit!
The Wire that is

Also, Freamon and McNulty eat fucking David fucking Caruso's lunch.
His Baltimore accent, though ... not quite there.

Horatio was going to share his "Pop Secret" with that kid
HA YOU WERE WATCHING IT TOO
Did you like his subtle use of "son"
God, I want to go there again and steal their cook/recipe.
Ah, okay. That's what First Friday is here.
They're bringing American Gladiators back?
Why was I not informed of this sooner?

WHAT
We're up to 5
NBC.com is holding casting calls for it in Las Vegas.

Or maybe a response consisting of the word "poo" got the point across
What guy and what's he mad about?
