I'm 16 and I still sleep with a teddy bear.
There's a lot more interesting things about me (because y'know, Im just a REALLY interesting person) but usually the fact I play Guitar Hero is my interesting thing. _________________

-I respect and try to appreciate everyone's views and decisions in life no matter how radical or stupi dmy gut instinct maybe. What I mean by this is best explained by a situation I found myself in the other day. I was in conversation with a friend about her friend who I vaguely knew who had dropped out of school, despite being what I would consider very talented - she could pick up things and learn very fast, from what I saw. However, she had decided to study a Film course at a college instead. Her friend (who I was talking to) made no bones about disrespecting it, and when I didn't follow suit (saying something along the lines of that's cool, it sounds interesting), she was shocked. I was appalled inside because I thought it was just plain wrong that she could so easily write off someone's decision in life. Same goes with religion - I am steadfast in my views, but I respect and listen to everyone else's, because we're all entitled to the opinion. I will never call someone out, in other words.
-I never let my anger lose control and blow up. I have never got angry enough to lose it and explode at someone. I have come exceptionally close - I started shouting but caught myself before I said something I would regret - not that it matters, she hung up before I had started. I am proud to say that I always keep my composure around other people, no matter how stressed, inebriated or pressured I get. On my own is a different matter, I have lost composure a few times and cried, but that is a different story.
-I am a workaholic. I cannot enjoy my leisure activities without knowing that I have earned it in someway, whether it by doing some homework (which I sort of enjoy anyway) or having completed a long day at school. Luckily this is becoming a big asset, as I am in Upper Sixth Form, or Senior Year in America, I think.
-I'm very very proud of myself, even arrogant, yet everyone of my friends fervently disagrees with me. I am not openly cocky or boastfull about anything I have done, but inside I am immensely proud of it, whether it be the fact I did quite well in my exams or that I have massively increased my fitness this year and reallllly love the way my body looks.
-Finally, I'm not smart as most of my friends seem to think. I just work really fucking hard and know that sometimes in life, to get what you really want, you have to spend time doing shit you don't enjoy, or even hate. No one else gets that it seems, otherwise everyone would be at the same standard I am in my education (I have very little talent, but an excellent work ethic).
Cheers guys, it was fun and interesting to recount this, it made me think. I enjoyed reading everyone else's, so I wanted to add to the topic. _________________

What? That's a preference, not having a lack of common sense...
You're an idiot. |
Good god man, there are two things here that DON'T make sense, something he supposedly hates:
1) It's so blatantly obvious that you could care less about things other than something you OBSESS about, so it would make no sense mentioning that.
2) The expression is "couldn't care less".

Thank you captain grammar. I didn't know this was english class. Instead of you trying to be a smartass, you could have simply pointed this out. This is the internet....on a message board, I don't think the world is going to end if something isn't in the utmost proper english form. _________________

No, but I think the world will end if he doesn't hit his quota of trolling! _________________

Actually the expression really is "could care less." Nobody knows why it developed that way but it has been in existence as such for some time. Here is one page about it. _________________

That's a neat link. I love hearing about all the wackadoo origins of various English phrases idioms, and find it neater still when the conclusion is ultimately "we... really can't definitively say where this came from, no." (Bonus points when it's a word like "OK", which has a non-concrete origin story but is crazy popular and managed to spread into tongues across the globe like so much lingual kudzu.)
Anyway, I assume that "could[n't] care less" is like "[in]flammable" at this point, where my inner pedant just shuts the hell up about everything and lets users of both variants run with it. _________________

I honestly don't care about the subject, but I find this graph funny whenever it's brought up in an argument about the saying. XD _________________
