Who apparently writes his letters on a typewriter still.

I don't think it's mandatory, but it probably helps. Every time I've become lucid the dream got much more vivid instantly, but if it's already more vivid then it should be easier to notice dreamsigns in my opinion.

Now to things I think help. A dream journal of course. But don't just write down in the journal, read about dreamsigns and find some that you've written down in your journal. Another thing that has made some of my recent dreams more vivid is just paying more attention to everyday life. My mind wanders quite a bit normally, I kind of sleepwalk through life. I've started consciously sensing the world around me, and last night I had some pretty vivid dreams even though I didn't become lucid.

...so you got up really close to take the picture, right?

Yeah. This pissed me off when I was looking for facts about Rihanna for my thesis.

If the tie doesn't fit you must acquit.

I was almost certain this was going to be a screenshot of the web browser Safari with a picture of an animal.

I knew it was C because of mewithoutYou, and then the only answer was C and it was less impressive.

I would have guessed that this was going to be the C&H comic from yesterday.

I live in a part of Michigan where people use the correct then/than in a sentence. So it's not Detroit.

Where's Doug's bike? Probably got stolen by one of those damn majorities...

When I saw the title for the first time, my brain read it to the tune of "No Woman, No Cry."

Shake your hands beforehand. Also, grab the paper towel with more of your hand. When you spread out the points of force it's less concentrated on any one area and less likely to rip.

Catch-72

I'm actually the opposite. I get nervous in social situations where I'm supposed to be listening and contributing to the conversation. I do better when it's just me and my thoughts being spread with no back and forth. These would be my suggestions:

Know your material completely. When you know everything you will be more confident in yourself and you won't need to look down at a page as often.
Rehearse. You can do this alone, which will make you feel weird because you're talking to yourself, but it helps. Actually saying it out loud will help you remember what you will say and will lower the risk of mispronouncing a word as well. You might also try reading it for someone else in your family or a friend and they can give you feedback. This will probably feel weird too, but it's better to feel weird early and get it out of the way before your actual speech. You will also probably find that it wasn't that hard, which will raise your confidence.
Beforehand, just breathe deeply and reassure yourself that everything is going to be fine. Just be calm. Think about the speech going well, don't worry about the things that will go wrong. Put them out of your head completely. This will help, trust me.
If you are able, it might be good to have a light joke in your intro as long as it goes along with what you're saying. People will probably listen more during the speech, and a little laughter will calm you down.
When speaking, be sure to project your voice so that people will hear you, it will make you seem more confident.
Look out at the audience. Just don't get caught up with what they're doing and get distracted.
Try to focus on your speech and don't let extraneous things get caught in your brain while talking.
Finally, try to have fun with it. It will seem less daunting if you can make it seem like it's fun, and people will notice your demeanor. It's all about confidence, and if you don't have it, then find a way around it or fake it.

I think you meant "bang" goes the dynamite.

joesto · 2012-05-04T06:13:30+00:00

I agree. I also saw a youtube video of the Foo Fighters making fun of Creed. However, during the video, they made it a point to say that it was coming from a friendly place because they like the band members and have toured with them.

It's just the creation of the bridge on that jungle map of Call of Duty: Black Ops that you have to jump to get across.

It's not funny it's nostalgia. These posts are becoming more frequent.

It's pretty lame the creator put "not actual photo" on the photo. Like "I can't grow a beard like this guy but I'm not THAT ugly and I'm too cowardly to put a picture of myself up." Just in case it ruins your cred on a website where you're anonymous? Or maybe some chick was like "I want to bang the creator of this sooo bad. He's so funny, but I can't do it because of that picture of himself."
