Back me up on this, I should be able to do anything I want on my birthday right? ****, I can do whatever I want no matter what day it is.
I duno how old are you, First of all your looking to the most unordered rabble in the populace of the internet for advice, so it's probably a good thing that your parents don't trust you to do whatever you consider to be 'far out, maaaan'.
I want to spend the day alone. I don't want anyone to buy me anything, throw a party, or treat me differently. You know what they did? Called me selfish. Got angry at me. Why can't he be normal.
Say that, and they'll throw a surprise party for you, the opposite of what you want. You should of said, "Nothing, really."
Thread hero #187. Just to tread old water ... 'American Football' is closer to Rugby than any actual game of Football ... the term 'Football' would point towards using your feet, but most of the time the talentless meat mountains who play NFL are HOLDING the ball, not kicking it. That does not take skill or talent.
I got the SAME thing a few years ago. I told them I don't believe birthdays are anything special, and as such I don't want them getting me anything. They must have assumed I was trying to get out of celebrating other birthdays or something.
Am I the only one who sees the glaring problems with the Terminator universe? I mean, even excluding all the time-travelling, there's absolutely no way that skynet managed to create such an offense. I mean think about it, to make the Terminators you need metal, silicone - all those raw elements. Who exactly is making them? Automated presses pumping out Terminators don't just "appear", they need to be built first. So there's a chicken and egg problem there, and that's assuming that the builders would even have the fine motor skills, the tools OR the power for construction. How did Skynet manage to maintain power and hardware after the world was ravaged by nuclear bombs? There's a huge gap in Skynets technological development. THEN you have the whole Kyle Reese being John's father scenario. In 'Universe A' John Connor is the child of Sarah Connor and some mystery guy (it isn't Kyle Reese). Then Skynet send back a terminator to kill Sarah Connor in "Universe B". It become apparent here that the terminator wasn't sent back in time in that universe, but was sent to a second, otherwise John would cease to exist the moment the terminator time-travelled. But what does he do? John sends Kyle back in time. In 'universe B' John Connor is the offspring of Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese, has a different genetic make-up and is a different person. So if Skynet never achieves time-travel technology in 'Universe B' then Kyle doesn't need to be sent back in time, but if it does send a terminator to "Universe C' then Kyle will be sent back in time in tow, except this Kyle (acted upon by the influences of John "B", not John "A") is deterministically different, therefore he may fail to protect Sarah, or may not sleep with her and have John. He may not even die at all in 'Universe C'. There are also people in 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' from different universes (say A and X), travelling to the same universe. So theoretically, people from a universe "G" could travel back 'up' to universe "A". Convoluted continuity.
