Apparently a much more significant proportion of people function on credit then I would have ever expected. I don't even have a credit card.

Credit cards are awesome if you pay them off every month, because then instead of using your cash every time you make a purchase, the cash sits in your bank account and earns interest.
It's very disconcerting to see how little peoples lifestyles are changing amidst the economic crisis. I stiill ha e people who spend 300+ at my restaurant a week. It's good for me, but very irresponsible.
If people have enough money, eating and drinking habits will never change. I've been in the industry for over 14 years and it's one of the constants.

This is entirely true and it's also so weird. I know people who are in absolutely dire financial straights and yet do not perceive an issue with going out and eating ~$100 meals/getting drunk twice a week. I do not understand it.

But these people don't. They're regulars, I know what they do, and most of them cat afford to spend over a thousand dollars a month on food and booze.
My best friend was recently dumped by her boyfriend of six years; she'd been expecting an engagement rather than that, and was extremely shocked.
I'm sad that I cannot be there for her. It also sucks because she was going to come to my wedding (my only friend from the UK to do so; my other friends are choosing to come at Easter for a road-trip instead) but as she was going to be staying in a hotel over Christmas with her boyfriend she understandably isn't coming any longer.
I miss my friends; I'd see them four-five times a week and now I just have my future in-laws and landlady, who have both been wonderful to me, but, well, they are my future in-laws and landlady.
That is so sad. It's really hard when you're so far away from people you care about, you can't be everywhere at once.
Just keep in touch with her as much as possible, even just little emails like 'hay sup' are going to mean a lot to her. Also a box full of awesome America presents.
So I suddenly have a lot more free time than I have for a while, because the female friend I've spent most of my time with the past few months is in Malaysia until January.
I think I'll be taking this opportunity to work out more and get my apartment into pretty much the best shape it's ever been in. But I didn't really realize until this week just how important this person has become to me, and apparently the same is true on her side (according to her e-mail). When she gets back it will be interesting to see how things develop.
I walk into the living room to see if any of the roommates want to go get dinner and they're all gone
where do these clowns keep disappearing to when I'm not looking?

Dang Janson that blows. I was gonna come in here and bitch about the various superficial problems in my life, but now all I feel like doing is giving your friend a great big hug and telling her everything's going to be okay. Pass along my sentiments, will you?

I got a look at those sites you sent Fallout; I must say that the Polaroid one had some real artistry to it. And the public one was definitely my cup of tea.

PD ripped my brain out and put it on a website, I swear.
How long has it been since we had a MSPaint Grouphug thread?
Last one died a lonely death if I remember right
What a goddamm tragedy. The MSPaint Grouphug Wars last year were the stuff of legend. Hmmm. Maybe I'll try and get one going when everyone is done with finals. That seems like decent timing.

I'm thinking video games and playing bass.

You don't immediately stirke me as the sort of guy who would break a nose.
That's to your advantage, I suppose.
I will never stick you with the check, Javen.
If you can count on nothing else ever in the rest of your life, you can at least count on that.
That is so sad.

I am feeling pretty awesome all in all.

I am feeling a little frustrated with this stupid Fallout 3 editor. But oh well.
<laugh track>
Something is on its way to you.
We are stylish dudes.
Get out of my head.
Oh, by the way, my good man....

Nothing that underaged persons like yourself need to see. Move along.
The polaroids were just god damned awesome too.
I'm 23 guy.

Nah, sorry. This ID's a fake. Gonna have to confiscate it and call your mom.
I'm so ronery...

All those in favor say, "Aye."
Opposed? Get a sense of humor.
Do it!
