dors are closed, windows are shut, drains are plugged where do they come from!!!!

How do I know I'm a graphic design major?

I pull craft store coupons off the internet into image editing software to rotate, resize, and duplicate enough to fit nicely on a full sheet of paper, and then the only thing I can find to print them on is glossy cardstock.

Craft stores have coupons?  I always thought they had sort of a cultish hold over people, drawing them to the craftstore for their scrapbooking, mop-doll making, plastic airplane model painting, fake flower arranging, and holiday decoration supplies.  Seemed to me when I watch my mom/aunt/wife/insert female family member here in those stores, it's like they're getting a fix from a crack dealer.

The two in my town have them, but they're both pretty major chain stores. They both have a "40% off anything in the store" coupon this week, and since I'm putting together my senior project galley exhibit this week, it has been hugely helpful.

On a related note, I used to work at one of said craft stores, and yes... you get these older women who come in daily to blow their husbands' paychecks on mounds of scrapbook supplies & holiday decor. And they get mean if they think you forgot to charge them the sale price for something.

Cracks between counters and walls, under the fridge, under the oven, etc. They'll get anywhere. If it's bad you'll need a professional to come in and bomb the place. They're buggers to get rid of.

Upon further reflection I find that I am a 3 on the Dawkins Scale, which is less religious than I was a year ago.

...I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that.

What's the dawkins scale?

[Byronazriel]

1. Strong theist. 100 per cent probability of God. In the words of C.G. Jung: "I do not believe, I know."
   2. Very high probability but short of 100 per cent. De facto theist. "I cannot know for certain, but I strongly believe in God and live my life on the assumption that he is there."
   3. Higher than 50 per cent but not very high. Technically agnostic but leaning towards theism. "I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God."
   4. Exactly 50 per cent. Completely impartial agnostic. "God's existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable."
   5. Lower than 50 per cent but not very low. Technically agnostic but leaning towards atheism. "I do not know whether God exists but I'm inclined to be skeptical."
   6. Very low probability, but short of zero. De facto atheist. "I cannot know for certain but I think God is very improbable, and I live my life on the assumption that he is not there."
   7. Strong atheist. "I know there is no God, with the same conviction as Jung 'knows' there is one."

Ah thanks, that scale is so reasonable.

I never know what to do with myself when I suddenly notice my perception of reality has shifted significantly. Especially when it didn't send me a memo, which for me it seems to strongly prefer not to, lol. I think my perception doesn't like confrontation, so just lets me find out myself at inopportune times haha.

No need to believe it, facts don't require belief, just understanding.

People seem to confuse evolution and Darwin with a faith system. I see this all the time on the Christian forums: "If you believe in evolution, you also believe in the Big Bang." These are two completely separate units of science. I happen to believe in both, but one is not directly related to the other.

That wasn't your question, though. I'd respond with, "Well, people believed the earth was flat until science disproved it. People believed the Earth was the center of the universe until science disproved it. Believing or not believing in something doesn't make it any more or less true."
