| They say everyone should know all their times tables up to at least 12 times table by the time they leave school. Unfortunately I still don't know all of them, and I just can't seem to learn them quick. I know my twos, threes, fives, nines, tens, and elevens. That's it. Oh, and I know my fifties an... |

| I personally went through something similar to what your friend is going through almost exactly a year ago. I didn't actually end up wandering off like your friend did but I was literally less than 24 hours from doing so. Basically my plan was to just take my pack I use for hiking, my hiking shoes a... |

| I just got back from a 20 mile bike ride maybe an hour or so ago. I got into road biking a few years back and just kind of found it a perfect fit for me really. I think the things I like about it most is that it is a sport that I can do by myself and its very repetitive, very much like running which... |

In middle school and high school I think this kind of made get rejected by the nerds/geeks that I should have been able to socialize with better. :roll: I was always just solely intere... |

I've ended up learning a lot about cars/engines because I want to know more about my car, but I don't really care that much about other cars. I have all the service manu... |

It reminded me of this thread and is worth watching. Anyway here is the link: Futur... |

Whether its programming or playing music the feeling is always the same... if I stop now I won't ever finish what I'm working on or I will 'lose' my thought. Usually when I get like this sleep is pretty much an impossibility, I just kind of have to g... |

I am the same way with drawing. With technical drawing it is really easy to see everything in my head and ki... |

This was at a fairly large (3000+) employee company. Basically the major 'theme' of his talk was about the ... |

I am also pretty 'figidty' when I'm talking to someone I always end up finding myself playing with my keys ... |
