<p>And yeah… I really hope no one in my school would know this is me. Not that I posted anything shameful, but just that I have a lot of fun on this forum, and I don’t particularly want to feel that I have to edit what I say all the time. :/</p>
<p>Haha… THAT would be interesting, though 5000 post is quite a feat to accomplish. ;)</p>
<p>Oh my goodness, ONE MORE PAGE and our daily goal is met. XD</p>
<p>And gosh, tako, your threads are awesome! I just saw the one w/ girls having lower acceptance rates. I knew about it already, but reading it again was like “SCREW THE BOYS!” >< moment for me. :P</p>
<p>I suppose I can go into engineering and like fail every single class. XD</p>
<p>Oh the great TASP-freaked-out times we’ve had on this board!</p>
<p>Though I suppose it’s not so much “we”, because I’ll admit it, I was really afraid to get too into this thread in case I got rejected, which would just have made the rejection THAT MUCH WORSE. And I was pretty sure I WAS going to get rejected. :P</p>
<p>hm…okay i have nothing to relate to this convo so i’ll talk about something different. </p>
<p>Sitting in front of my is a 1972 mcgovern campaign pin. I treasure this pin more than a lot of really important things in my life. Yes the campaign stole the woodstock dove, but the olive branch and peace sign eye just make it so nice to look at. And the colors, oh yes the colors. It is a dark green pin with yellow/green semi circles. The writing is in these semi circles in a white font stating “McGOVERN '72” The pin on the back is by no means safe. Now adays we have those covers so kids can’t get poked with it but back then then didn’t have them. It is just a sharp rod of metal that isn’t even vertical to the pin. It sticks out at a 30 degree angle and has developed a lot of rust over these past 35 years. Thank god i’ve only (accidently) stabbed myself with it 4 times.<br>
My favorite thing about the pin though is its story. My father was working on the McGovern campaign going door to door through Orange County that summer. I guess Mitchell never got that message though because my dad was also sent an official CREEP membership card. He still carries that card with him today even after moving to a million different countries around the world. And the last thing, he values that card as much as me. That’s why he keeps the photo of me behind the CREEP card in his wallet. I guess he loves that card as much as I love this pin. The only downside: I can’t say I was the only owner of a mcgovern pin who was never thrown in jail. My dad can jokingly say that about his CREEP card.</p>
<p>okay now i have something to add! cross posting sucks btw. </p>
<p>I have to agree getting rejected was horrible at first, but at least i got over it after the first weekend. I was so happy for all of you and the fact that I got rejected didn’t matter. I was still made some awesome friends out of the whole experience. That’s all that really matters in the end.</p>
<p>^ TASP bond! XD (again in response to tako’s post… argh people!) ;)</p>
<p>I’m so proud of you guys! (Happy sob)</p>
<p>And good job Karen, for taking it astride! Bunch of people disappeared after the decisions, and frankly, I would have done exactly the same thing.</p>
<p>You probably would have stayed tako, you have a lot more courage about this kinds of things than I do.</p>
<p>Seriously, I would just have felt terrible about not being able to join the TASPers had I been rejected to really conduct a fun conversation with them. I know, I’m such a loser sometimes. :(</p>
<p>lol…i have your phone number jenny. I was looking through my phone book and i noticed…“jenny”. I spent 5 minutes talking with my two best friends about who that could be especially since we didn’t know the area code. The funny thing is I never remember exchanging numbers. =/</p>
