Your 4.0 GPA is your best option for getting as far away from your family as possible.

He doesn’t have to maintain a stellar GPA to get away. There are many good schools that will accept him with his imperfect GPA. He can even pursue a career in something non-academic. He can join the military, for instance. He can do what he wants with his life. I see no reason to encourage alienation from parents who obviously care about him.

That isn’t what I meant. Sometimes some distance helps. I liked my parents more when I moved out.

The rest of my family doesn’t go to bed until around midnight. The time they’re asleep – without all their arguing and asinine chittering and general noisemaking – is the only time of day where I feel I have some peace of mind. I take advantage of the tranquility by staying up 'til 3:00 or thereabouts.

I can sympathize. I did this a lot when I was in 8-12 grade just to get some peace.

If you need to B*tch about something <strong>other than originaltrilogy.com</strong>... This is the place

I’m not saying that I can’t taste anything; I know mac and cheese tastes different than ice cream, for example, but I’m not hung up over anything because it’s all just food to me. I’m very unhealthy though. I usually don’t eat very much and then eat a whole lot once I realize I’m hungry.

The problem of Owen Lars
Time

She was once Beru Skywalker, Anikins sister. She was never trained, but is force sensitive and can see things before they happen. She married Owen Lars who never agreed with such “wizardry”.
Watch the films with this in mind and it works just as well as Obi-Wan’s twisting the truth to Luke. For me, it makes the entire backstory more interesting as both Owen and Beru would be strongly connected to and involved with the plot of the PT. It would give an opportunity for a good female character and much better relationship dynamics.

They’re both just boring farmers that wore the same clothes for 25 years and aged four decades in a little over two. According to the PT that is.

You know, I bet some think it is wrong to call someone who actually can’t see colors, colorblind, because now the word has “racial connotations”.

Find me someone who really thinks that and I will pay you 3000 Disney Dollars.

It wouldn’t surprise me if there’s some stupid idiot on an MTV talk show that would say that, but as for normal people, probably no one thinks that.
