It's a Canadian thing, but eh? Why not apply it elsewhere. :)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I can quit any time I want.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Hahaha.

I'd consider it with more seriousness if I didn't need my computer for homework.  I do a good deal of hw on the weekends.

Somewhat agree, depends on what I'm doing. I spend a lot of weekends with my girlfriend and when I do I don't touch a computer or *gasp* log on WoW for the entire weekend. If it is a lazy weekend and no one is around I sometimes vegetate in front of my computer all day.

When you live in a city like mine, there isn't many places you can go to "enjoy nature".  :\

outright lie
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.
