Hrm, if  thats all you do, you don't have much of a life to start with. ;)

I wonder if iago/admins would actually ban you if requested by your mother...

Deleted your account?!  Thats harse, Canceling it would be enough...

Why does your mom know your WoW account password?
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

It was her paypal account and she was right next to me when I sent it up.

Ouch, that sucks!  Did she delete your character or just freeze the account?  Hopefully you can reason with her.  I'd definitely say cut back, though.  Obviously it's a problem if your mom is going to those sorts of measures! :)

My mom doesn't care much, as long as I get what I need to done.

I think all she did was just change the password on me personally. Because when I try to log in it says invaild password. But anyways I hope she didnt just delete it. Becuase I had a lvl 60 and a lvl 30 and was getting board with both and wanted to start the new guild with you guys >.> I think after a month off of it she will give it back and I will just try not to play all the time. Really I dont think I even played that much. I go to school get home do homework play for about 3 hours and go to sleep and that is just the weekdays. On weekends iam usally at the movies or with friends.

That sounds reasonable to me.  I used to play a lot more (I've been busy lately).  Tell her that it's a much better past-time than drinking/partying! :)

Omg, are you retarded? Your mom gets mad at you for playing WoW too much and you counter by saying you also chat online too to random people.

And you told her the website? You, sir, are stupid.

QFT.

And take that damn picture out of your signature.  You're slowing down all my work computers.  Their measly 256mb of RAM can't process that much animated GIF at once.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

You're supposed to say "But mom, I do homework on this computer!  I just play WoW for like 10 minutes to relax!"
That works if you're not failing any classes.. I have an A(+) average so eh I could get away with that. :P

haha, at least you can go on the internet. Whenever my parents think I am on too much, they go outside and disconnect the internet. If they dont do that they take the computer I use away. You should tell iago to reply to your mom with a rude message :)

ROFL!  That would own.  iago e-mailing your mom, hahahaah.  Man, that would be great.

My parents used to do that, it sucked.  Now my internet is always on. :D

I suddenly feel extremely privilaged by my mother, possibly even spoiled.

I'm normally on my computer 90% of the time I'm awake, unless I'm at my mom's fiance's house, then I usually have to be fixing something that went wrong with their illegal copy of Windows. -_- Although I'd imagine that'd make it 99.9% (?)

Seriously, my mom comes downstairs and finds me playing SC one day and I'm like "Oh I'm just taking a break from doing my homework (truth was it wasn't due till the day after the next day) so I can pay more attention."
She was just like "ok, just do your homework."

Of course, I have 0 missing assignments and straight A's so that helps a lot. Heh.

Of course, you're motivated and you care about your grades.  I don't and I'm pretty sure Towelie doesn't either.  I have a 3.5 without trying.  I do nearly every homework assignment late and the projects a month late.  I'm lucky my teacher accepts late work. :)

Basically, your advice sucks. :)

Not saying I don't.  Frankly, I'd hate having to live like my parents do as an adult.. they work all fucking day.  I'm motivated enough to not have to have to work like that at some place where getting moved up is something that happens once in a blue moon.  None of my teachers accept work a week late.  And I don't really try in school either, I mean there's a couple tests I might study for (civics tests) but it's all really easy to me still.  Oh well, in two years it won't be that way for sure.. (college classes, ugh).

I'm already in college classes (and have been since my sophomore year); they're easier than you'd expect.  In fact, the curriculums are a lot more steady than most of the high school courses I've taken.

You try a lot harder than me, I can tell you that for sure.  If I did my homework at all, I'd have a 4.0.  High GPA's are easy to attain, they mean very little.  I mean there's kids in the special education class that have "Academic" letters.  Grades don't make you smart (as I'm sure you're well aware).

I'm glad you have that motivation, though.  My dad always tells me "get a good education so you don't have to work out in the cold like me."  I think I'm doing pretty well in the field I'm going to enter, so I don't really try to hard in other classes (homework-wise).  I try when it really matters (IE I have about 20+ assignments I need to complete by this Friday).

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.

You guys should really pick up programming, especially unTactical, who doesn't want to work all day.

I don't mind work, as long as I get my fair share of 'play' in as well. Being a programmer, which I probably will be, is going to be a dream job. Its kind of like when the D12 members were interviewed as to why they're rappers, they said because they love what they do. I love programming, and in my free time, I do it. Of course, if I want to get payed, I'll need to finish something, but eh?
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

unTactical is a collegiate Computer Engineer, which does involve a good amount of programming; he's probably more learned in it than you are -- no offense.  Programming is by no means an easy job.  The only way you're not going to be working normal hours is if you become an entrepreneur and start your own company.  That would mean sacrificing some of the positions you're seeing yourself in (lead software architect/engineer) in order to better manage the company.  I don't know about you, but that's not something I want to do with my life.  I don't want to be Bill Gates, regardless of what people that know me in real life think.  They always say things like "He's going to be the next Bill Gates."  I generally just laugh, but it kind of makes me mad each time they say that.  It's because they assume he's just a nerd who started programming and a bunch of people joined him.  No--he persuaded a bunch of people to join him and made them do stuff that brought in money that he took.

I'll tell you one thing for sure: doing work for someone programming has a much different feel than working whenever the hell you feel like it on whatever the hell you want to work on.  You're committed to that client and if you don't get things done in a reasonable amount of time, you're not going to keep your job.  Because of this, it seems like a normal job most times.  If you get stuck on the same project for too long, it gets boring and you'll wish you were doing something else.  I've worked with numerous clients, all of which are very nice people.  I've maintained personal contact with at least one of them; he calls me when he has a computer question or something like that.  Last winter, he sent me pictures of the snow storm they had in the Massachusetts area. 

I started working for him my Sophomore year (when I was 15/16) and I had a hard time getting along with him.  Partly because he was more pushy than I was used to (he SHOULD be pushy towards someone he's paying $20/hr to sit at a keyboard and type) and partly because I was unmotivated to continue work.  There were a few times where I could tell he'd gotten pretty irritated with how little I'd gotten done during some time period, but it was usually when I was busy.  If I had been busy with school, he'd always understand.  He's been a great person to work for.  This is actually the person st0rm.iD worked for (I don't know if you know him), but he was suddenly committed to other things with school and was unable to handle the workload.  He recommended me to him and I've worked for him since.

The people in town that I work for (web-work, PC repair, etc) are all very nice, but I don't talk to them on a personal level outside of the work I do for them.

To be honest, I think the term "dream job" is stupid.  A job is a job, regardless of what it is.  I'm positive any person is more suited for one job than the next person (and visa-versa), but that doesn't mean they're going to enjoy doing that job 100% of the time or even 50% of the time, regardless of how much you externally enjoy the activity involved in that line of work.  It's completely dependant on what type of person you are.  If you actually enjoy working, then you're going to have a lot of fun in any job that fits your personality.  If you don't, you're going to find it tough searching for a job that you are going to be fond of.

Reitteratively, programming changes a lot when you're working for someone other than yourself.  My boss (the network administrator, not the webdev client) was an extremely talented programmer when he was attending college.  He really enjoyed programming.  He did an internship programming his freshman year and hated it.  Since then, he's decided that a job in software engineering is not for him.  The majority of programming positions are "cubicle" jobs -- you're going to work in a little 4x4 area with a glowing computer screen for hours on end.  That may sound appealing, but think about it: you're not going to be doing what you want to do very often.

Haha, Sidoh, that's what my dad says.  I do technical work (ie: lights, audio, and for some reason I build sets.. it's a balanced diet!) for plays when I get the chance to (ie: summer).  I told my dad that I would actually consider something like that as a career, or something in the movie industry where I could be doing that or doing computer related stuff (ie: the websites or whatever).  My dad just laughed and went "I think you're too smart to be doing that, and you may enjoy it NOW but when you do it day in and day out it won't be very fun."  The part that sucks is that I know he's right. :\

Real smart people pick jobs regarding only the things they entail, not how much pay you get.  I know you didn't say that, but don't take a job just because it pays well.

I would take a grueling job in exchange for awesome pay. Like an Investment Banker.

I always thought of man whoring myself for a job. I pick my own hours. I make good pay. I "Sometimes" my own boss. Plus all the sex you want and need.

That's what everyone wants. :P

That's what I told him (kind of)! :)

My dad said that too. He's like "don't work in movies, they get paid nothing" I was like "Dad, I'll pick what I want when I want." He didn't seem to be too pleaed.

Good... you think for yourself.  That well get you further than anyone's advice.  If you do what you want, you're going to end up in a place that you're happy in.
