This weekend try to do three things you've never done before

[Rising Phoenix]

Last weekend I
1. ate my first buritto
2. smoked weed in a public place without getting paranoid
3. got a brazillian wax

[In_The_Wind]

1. Explain #3

please ...

I might want one of those ...

[Rising Phoenix]

2. it hurts...

more than any tatto or piercing I've ever gotten...but so worth it

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. Is it like a Belgian wax?

Regular wax, but it hurts so much you treat yourself to a waffle afterward?

:rofl:

[Rising Phoenix]

5. not quite...

its a little more involved than a regular wax...and no waffles

[In_The_Wind]

8. Hot Wax is nice!

I've waxed almost everything ...

I'll bet I might even know what you are talking about ...

but I don't think they had a name for it way back then!

[eyesroll]

4. Last weekend, I...

1. Got my LSAT results
2. Drove home from the airport at 2 am, and had to get gas right after I left the parking garage
3. Accompanied someone on a "maybe if we drive around she'll fall asleep already" drive at 10:30 pm (which was both my first time accompanying anyone on such a drive, and my first time in that car)

[Rising Phoenix]

6. good for you!!

hope you did well on your LSAT's, sure you did

[eyesroll]

10. I did, thanks!

I'm going to aim for three more new things next weekend -- sounds like a good idea. Although, perhaps, I'll have something more interesting than driving home from the airport at 2 am...

[Rising Phoenix]

11. well, hey, I was pretty excited about my first burrito...

[eyesroll]

14. Was it in conjunction with the public pot smoking?

;-)

[Rising Phoenix]

28. no,

burrito was Friday
weed was Saturday

[arwalden]

35. A Buddy Of Mine Really Likes Tacos.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

9. Were you pleased with your results?

What law schools are you applying to?

[eyesroll]

13. Extremely, thanks.

I exceeded my goal by 5 points, and my expectation by 10.

My plan is to stay local (Marquette). I will have no trouble getting in (a whopping 7 applicants -- all admitted -- last year had a better LSAT/GPA combo than I do, according to that LSAC data sheet) unless one of my rec's sabotages me (which I very much doubt). I think I can get some real $$$ now.

I'll probably be applying to a few other schools in the Midwest, for leverage more than anything.

(I'm not aiming for A Big Scary Prestigious Law Firm On A Coast, and I don't really want to be a tiny nontrad in an enormous pool of hypercompetitive 23-year-olds, so I'm fine with a solid, not-top-tier school that has an excellent state/local reputation but not much national recognition.)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

15. Have you discovered the site nontradlaw.net?

There are a lot of very supportive people there.

http://www.nontradlaw.net

Best of luck to you!

[eyesroll]

24. I've looked there once or twice.

A lot more civil and less obnoxious than a few of those other boards -- "I GOT A 168 MY LIFE IS OVER!"/"HAHAHA U GOT PWNED! YOU SHOULDA CANCELLED! HAVE FUN AT (insert very good school that isn't Yale here)!!!!1!"

Good luck to you, too!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

26. Thanks - I've already been through what you're doing!

Just waiting on stupid bar results now.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

7. Let's see what this weekend will bring...

1. We're going to a friend's house for Iftar and dinner, and I've never been to her house.

2. I will celebrate the end of Daylight Savings Time in Texas for the first time ever.

3. I will either spend my last weekend as a nonattorney or my last happy weekend for a few months.

[RandomKoolzip]

12. I've never committed suicide before!

Seriously....Actually this weekend I'll be doing something I've done thousands of times before: work far too many hours of backbreaking work at a low-wage job, then whining about it when I get home.

Wish me luck!

[Rising Phoenix]

17. Best of luck...

[XNASA]

16. 1. Eat a blood sausage.

2. Skydive
3. Celebrate a Chicago World Series Champion.

[Rising Phoenix]

21. eww, on the blood sausage...

I know, I need to open my mind a little, hehe
awesome on everthing else, are you really going skydiving?

[XNASA]

27. No. But I am going to try.

:crazy:

[LaraMN]

18. How about not smoking approximately 60 cigarettes?

Well, I hadn't done that in a very long time, anyway. Sigh. I'm ready to gnaw off my arm. I've probably not smoked about 75 by now.

[Rising Phoenix]

23. good for you

[LaraMN]

29. Yeah, good and NOTVERYFUCKINGGOODATALL!!!

I'm on Wellbutrin and "the patch." and dum-dums. I've been eating the suckers and gnawing through the sticks when the candy's gone. Thanks, though!

[GOPisEvil]

30. Good luck Lara.

My dad smoked for well over 30 years. He finally quit. It drove him batty for a while, but he looks a lot younger and feels better. It's been a few years for him now.

It's worth it in the end.

[MarsThe Cat]

19. did either number 1 or number 3...

have anything to do with number 2? (the number 2 on your list, that is)...there are a few places around here where eating a burrito DEFINITELY has to do with number 2(NOT the number 2 on your list).

[Rising Phoenix]

25. actually, no

they weren't related at all, good question though...

[nickinSTL]

20. huh...

well, I held a newborn (9 days old) for the first time...

Other than that...pretty standard weekend.

[ismnotwasm]

22. Well....

THIS weekend I was in Hawaii for the first time (I'm still here) I let my self get tourist suckered at the Dole plantation with their stupid "fresh water pearls" (the pearl was 7 bucks, the setting was 45--my daughter is appalled at me)Shit, in Hawaii, there's been lots of firsts. I'm coming BACK I can tell you that...

[LeftyMom]

31. Was the wax something you can DIY

or is that a job best left to a professional?

[Rising Phoenix]

32. definately leave it to a professional...

if its done wrong, it can be very bad...

[LeftyMom]

33. Well that hurts just thinking about

I'll have to think about doing that before my vacation. :)

[sundog]

34. there's a really nice limited edition water based lubricant ive been dying

to try
