<p>Sexual selection, wow, roam, you’re like…deep.</p>
<p>Haha dude my pubspeak is going to be SO much like my essays, I bet. Just watch and see it be really…shallow and dorky. Fun!</p>
<p>I’m actually rather excited :)</p>
<p>lol. A lot of people do pubspeaks based on their essays.</p>
<p>CONGRATS TAKO! XD</p>
<p>I’m so proud of CC for not being stupid! ;)</p>
<p>Woah they did give you a title!!! LOL Nice</p>
<p>Can we write news articles about the insanity of college admissions quote individual ppls posts and then have you link to them on the main page :-P</p>
<p>Thanks to you the TASP thread has become the most powerful little group of CC. <em>Evil laugh</em></p>
<p>Good job Tako. =D</p>
<p>Iris! Missed you :)</p>
<p>And Corey, if you write that article I will certainly try my best to link it ;)</p>
<p>AND I KNOW I GOT A TITLE OMG. It’s amazing.</p>
<p>And you know is TERRIBLE? I’m doing my pubspeak FIRST. That’s right, first I tell you, on July 2. So I need to hurry up and think of a good topic :(</p>
<p>it’s because the factota know you’ll do a good job. and didn’t you already choose a topic? you’re quoting _____, right? i swear i’m going to crack up.</p>
<p>Ah, let’s say I’m HIGHLY considering it. </p>
<p>However, if I get other inspiration I might end up doing something else (although right now I can’t think of anything else). But if I did do it, I would quote her FO SHO LMAO.</p>
<p>Yay, I returneth!</p>
<p>Okay, so list:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Swat and UChi, tako? Swat and Brown, Susan? I IZ SO HEPPY!! 
And yes, Swat has some of the coolest mailings. Truly awesome and artsy and <3. I so hope you girls get in.</p></li>
<li><p>Uber: “Long story short, the only mac I can work with is mac and cheese.”</p></li>
<li><p>I cracked up when I read that. You’re adorable. XD I’m getting a Macbook in a month or so. WOOTSH! Apple is DUMB and won’t ship to PR, though, so I have to have it mailed to my uncle and then he can mail ME. <em>sigh</em> Dumb.</p></li>
<li><p>“a persons culture and a persons race are two different things.” - I disagree with you, Nate–I don’t think that’s naive or ■■■■■■■■ at all. Your ethnic background SHOULD generally have an impact in your life, but it isn’t always so. It happens a lot when you’re adopted into a family from a different ethnic group, or when you’re a certain race but born into a different cultural atmosphere (like, for example, a person with a Chinese background and family that grows up in Puerto Rico, like a normal Puerto Rican). In essence, the things are linked, but not always so; they can develop independently of one another.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Welcome back, Aida! 
And Iris! :)</p>
<p>And tako, how did you know you’ll be up first? Did you receive a notice from a factotum? In any case, best of luck on that! You’ll do marvelously.</p>
<p>Who is ____, by the way? 
Confidential, I suppose?</p>
<p>Tako, you should seriously utilize your amazing News Editor powers to promote the world-domination of TASPers. We’re counting on you. Oh yeah, and I BETTER not see any RSI/RSI-people-related threads become featured! :P</p>
<p>And yeah, how did you know when you’re going first? And what exactly DOES pubspeak require? I’m assuming it’s going to be like a powerpoint presentation?</p>
<p>yup, our factota sent out an email of preliminary pubspeak schedules and a roomie survey. =D the last page of the survey was like, “How important are these things to your lives?” and then a list of stuff like “Karl Marx, Superbowl commericials, Sparkles, Snow, Game Theory,” etc etc. i had to check off the “What” option because i had no clue what some of them are. heh.</p>
<p>Yep. Is it powerpoint? Interesting.</p>
<p>And ____ is…well, I’ll pm you, dae ;)</p>
<p>CONGRATS TAKO!!! WOW! I signed in and the first thing I saw was your name on the front page! You are officially a CC celebrity!!! </p>
<p>Our religion discussion fizzled rather quickly… anyway I guess we’ll pick it up at TASP =) (I can’t believe I get to say things like, see you at TASP, I’m booking my flight to TASP, I’m away at TASP during July, we’ll pick it up at TASP… SO SURREAL, STILL!!!)</p>
<p>Lol, I ticked off the what? option for a few that I felt didn’t even deserve I guess so, namely fish nets… That was a really fun survey, except did you guys have a place to enter your name? I didn’t/couldn’t find it and I’m wondering how they will be able to identify me… </p>
<p>For pubspeaks, I’m thinking of doing mine on theme parks. They are just such awesome and interesting places… I mean how can you possibly make anything related to theme parks boring (that would take a lot of talent). Even the line-ups are exciting! What do you guys think?</p>
<p>P.S. Aida, good luck with that mac. Hope you have better luck with apple than I did. </p>
<p>Woo tako! *snaps, claps, whistles, and other random congratulatory noises ensue</p>
<p>uber: I KNOW, i was like what??? when i realized the survey was over and i didn’t get a chance to tell them who the heck i was. i’m guessing they know due to ip addresses? although that’s kind of stalkerish… and what if i was doing the survey in california on vacation, and they thought i was tako?</p>
<p>YAY amusement parks!!! that’s such a fun topic. what would you explore about them? like, how they function? how they’re a part of our culture because of xyz? </p>
<p>wait, i have a feeling i asked you this already but what time are you getting there? me and another TASPer (joe) are going to be on the same flight (yay!). we’re getting there around 11. tako might come on the shuttle with us if the other overnighter is going on an earlier shuttle.</p>
<p>IP addresses, borderline creepy… but I did google both Charles and Bridget, so let’s call it even =). I’ll be there at 3:29 PM as it says in the e-mail so don’t wait around. I think I’ll be cab-ing with the two other TASPers at 4:05 and 4:15 (I love airports and I’m a bit of a klutz so I imagine 45 minutes will go by in a flash), but there is a person who is landing about 30 minutes or so before me and I’m not sure if she would like to wait for the 4 o’clock people. So I’ll probably either get to the house by 5 or 6.</p>
<p>haha uber, my pm box is full so i’ll answer you here:
i facebooked your name and there were a bunch of people, but the third one down was a guy with your name who went to the school i was talking about and is 07. and is from toronto, bc. so yep =)</p>
<p>LOL I KNEW IT! That guy is actually '09, don’t really know why it says ‘07. Yeah that’s not me. I don’t have facebook but I am tagged in my friends’ pictures (by my common name that I haven’t revealed, but you can probably guess it).</p>
<p>EDIT: WHOA I BROKE 100 POSTS! YAAY! TIME FOR SOME CAKE! (AND MORE EXCLAMATIONS!!!)</p>
<p>YAY UBER.</p>
<p>And yeah, seriously, I am a CC celebrity. That’s impressive. Like, how could any college reject me now? Honestly.</p>
<p>And yeah, I can’t wait for TASP so we can discuss things like religion and fate and life and death and omg it’s going to be amazing.</p>
<p>And I also did wonder about how our people knew who we were in the surveys. In fact, I am going to go do an experiment right now.</p>
