My YT account has been flipped back and forth between the old and new layouts for the past month.  I'm afraid the new layout will be what all of us see in the future, and we'll just have to live with it. :hmm:

It debuted for everyone permanently starting today. Also I should mention that this change wasn't completely Youtube's idea, apparently going by one of their blog entries, many YT viewers wanted some of the changes made.

Crap. I have the new YT layout and everyone else I talk to too has it now. :angry:
Yep, I do too. Horribly inconvenient and not user-friendly, like weather.com.

I used to have it but I got switched back to the old one for some reason. To be honest I really don't like it. I'm more into rating vids than just "liking" them.
Copying that from Facebook. Facebook actually got rid of the Become a Fan button. Now its like.

Geesh, I knew trying to improve on my social life would affect my  grades. Ever since I started doing more extra-curricular stuff, such as  working in the studio in the morning, and started skyrocketing with  socialization, my grades started to slip. I have a 76% right now in  English (though I'm not that much of a fan of that teacher, she gets  mood swings a lot, is kinda strict with grading, and my weakness in  that area doesn't help either), and B's in two other classes. I just can't seem to do well socially and academically, it has to be one or the other.  :hmm: I hate mental disorders. <_<

It's basically a special ed version of study hall. You get credit for doing work, and get help if needed.

Mike, doing well in both social life and academics comes down to striking a perfect balance between the two.  You have to be real good at time management to do both well.  It's something that everyone in high school, college, and even adulthood (with job-related work and social life) has to master.

I don't want to go through all that pain and hassle, not eating certain foods

A) They're not that painful. People blow that WAY out of proportion. Just a few sensitive teeth here and there.
B) What do you mean that hassle? They just glue brackets on your teeth, put the wire in, and snap the brackets closed.
C) Not eating certain foods? My dental assistant lady said you can eat just about anything with braces if you just be careful (and if it's something like chips or pretzels, break it up into smaller pieces.)

As Aaron stated, it still sticks to your braces, but not as bad as the other gum.

Nope. And when it does stick to your teeth, you've gotten something ON your braces. If you chew sugarfree gum (although I was told these brackets are somewhat different than brackets before), you WILL be okay. And why would the gum get near your braces anyway? It's not like you'd roll the gum all over your brackets! <_<
I am just relaying what my orthodontist said.  I don't need you to contradict what he said.

I am sure things are much different than when I had braces.

Has anyone tried invisiline?

Loved it, haha. :bleh:

Also, why does FB disable accounts for nothing? One of my friends got his disabled last night. :wacko:
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~
