Vent Your Anger

Shit yea....
Well...you could try talking to the two of them at the same time, and without looking at one more than the other say "would you go to prom with me" hopefully you will be lucky, and one of them will say yes before the ask who you are asking

I like it.

Just make sure that you have your answer ready if they wise up and ask who you asked, if not you could be kinda screwed

Wow, a flat tire again. So I had to go back from going out with a friend on one bike (again...). Well, I survived, and I'm still in a good mood so not much of anger. It's just that I hate bike tires. Always flat when you need them.

Get wooden tires. =D

Haha yes, I was like that as well some while ago, beceasue they are flat like every month. But that will be very euhm... well yes not comfy and stuff.

It's not like you sit on your tire or something.. so how would it not be comfy?

YOur bike will be very shaky I guess.

Maybe you can create some super strong rubber for your tires?

Ooh.. get that rubber that sticks itself back if it's broken!

Amen to that. "Best years of you life" my ass. I can't wait to get out. I have senior prom coming up, and I'm fucked for a date. The girl I was gonna go with "broke up with me" and every other girl seems to have a date. Couple that with the fact that I don't know anyone from my school (99% of my friends go to other schools/don't go to school---don't ask me how that happened). Fuck high school.

Sounds great,. where do I get that?

Uhm. dunno. I just read about it somewhere, lol.

It actually exists? i thought you were joking. Wow

I don't know the source, but here is what I read:

Code:

A material that is able to self-repair even when it is sliced in two has been invented by French researchers.

The as-yet-unnamed material - a form of artificial rubber - is made from vegetable oil and a component of urine.

The
substance, described in the journal Nature, produces surfaces when cut
that retain a strong chemical attraction to each other.

Pieces of the material join together again as if never parted without the need for glue or a special treatment.

This remarkable property comes from careful engineering of the molecules in the material.

The
French researchers are already making kilogramme quantities in their
Paris laboratories and say the process is almost completely green, and
could be completely so with a few adjustments.

The secret of the substance lies in how the molecules are held together.

A
piece of normal rubber, says Dr Ludwik Leibler, who headed the
research, is actually a single molecule with billion upon billions of
smaller units chemically welded together to form a giant tangled
network.

   
Children are always breaking their toys. Wouldn't it be nice if you could put them back together so easily?

The
elasticity comes from the fact that the strands within the network are
buckled like a concertina: pull on them and they straighten and
elongate; let go and the buckles reappear.

But break a rubber (or most other solids), and the chemical welds - known as covalent bonds - are also broken.

These cannot be remade. Nor can a piece of rubber be remoulded or reshaped.

"We
wanted to see if we could make a rubber-like material using small
molecules," Dr Leibler of the Industrial Physics and Chemistry Higher
Educational Institution (ESPCI) in Paris told the BBC's Science In
Action programme.

The trick was to replace the covalent bonds in rubber with weaker connections known as hydrogen bonds.

These are like hands on neighbouring molecules that can clasp together, but let go when broken.

Dr
Leibler quickly realised that this meant not only that the new rubber
could be recycled and remoulded many times over, but that if separated
by a cut or break, the chemical hands at the fresh surfaces would still
be waving about ready to bind again.

François Tournilhac, who runs Dr Leibler's laboratories, demonstrated the healing to me.

Using
a razor blade he severed a thin strand of the yellowish material (the
colour of corn oil), showed me the clean square faces, and then pressed
them together.

Almost immediately, the grip was strong enough for him to hold the sample just at one end.

Within
an hour the bonds had rebuilt themselves so thoroughly that it was
possible to stretch the strand to twice its length without any sign of
weakness where the cut had been made.

One obvious use, says Dr Leibler, is for self-healing seals.

Puncture a seal in a compression joint with a nail, and the hole would automatically repair itself.

He also has more playful suggestions.

"Why
not use it to make children's toys? Children are always breaking their
toys. Wouldn't it be nice if you could put them back together so
easily?"

The material was developed with the support of the
French company Arkema, which is already investigating whether it can be
turned into a commercial product.
