<p>Well, you could also look at it that way. </p>

<p>I do have a problem with that argument ... You can't just shine. You need to make yourself shine. You've need to get a towel and start scrubbing away at your piece of gold ... the shinier the better! People like shiny things. </p>

<p>As for unexpected places, I think I'll need to play more I-Spy ... I haven't picked up much gold that way yet.</p>

<p>Anywho, the Vitamin Water I'm drinking right now that's pumped full of caffeine is the only thing that's keeping me running to do my English project. That's my gold!</p>

<p>I don't see your problem lol. I never said you can't "make yourself shine". I just said if you're gold, then you should be able to shine, with no reference to the effort or lack thereof involved.</p>

<p>These posts are hilarious.</p>

<p>I will laugh so hard when, on the day that decisions are emailed, fmylife.com is barraged with posts by the rejects (it's what I'm doin', shooo')</p>

64

<p>dude, fml is so overused now. it's lost its coolness as a catchphrase...</p>

65

<p>God I hope not. I swear too much and I have been saying it for too long to break the habit now :)</p>

<p>Anyway, the site remains one of the few that makes me lol (literally).</p>

66

<p>Accepted: There would be no words. Maybe some unintelligible screaming, me grabbing my family, calling up my friends, etc. :)
Rejected: Eh, as expected, but I'd be sad. Eat a tub of ice cream, ask around for consolation cupcakes, etc.</p>

67

<p>we're missing the greatest point of all.</p>

<p>animals fight over food, cause food is useful and kinda keeps you alive.</p>

<p>gold, on the other hand, is useless. except for maybe being a weapon to kill prey.</p>

68

<p>cafesimone, weren't you from that other thread that i posted on... haha i love how people on CC stalk others' posts lol or at least, i do..</p>

<p>don't take that phrase so literally :)</p>

69

<p>I didn't apply to Stanford (didn't want the west coast) but if accepted I would probably scream and fall on my knees and thank God. If rejected I will also thank God, because all things in life are determined by Him for our good.</p>

70

<p>I came. I saw. I got conquered.</p>

<p>BY HYPSM. QQ</p>

<p>Every single post on results should be posted this way. =]]</p>

71

<p>^ hahaha</p>

<p>Veni . . . Vidi . . . Eram Victum.</p>

<p>lolz is that right? I haven't taken Latin since 8th grade...</p>

72

<p>Dbate, why are you in this thread if you didn't apply to Stanford? Haha.</p>

<p>And I agree about the result posts. A little humor would help lighten the mood of Stanford Slaughter.</p>

73

<p>Lawlz, I totally agree, Dbate is the epitome of a lost cause if he is posting about how he would react to a S decision when he didn't even apply to S! haha. That's funny. ;).</p>

74

<p>Dbate.........ummm what uh.......wth?</p>

75

<p>Either decision: party up</p>

76

<p>^ Agreed. I'll either rejoice in bacchanalian debauchery or revel in my misfortunes ;)</p>

77

<p>^hahahahaha</p>

<p>I think we are going to have ALOT of waitlists for RD this year. Stanford Semi-Slaughter then?</p>

78

<p>lol
If accepted, scream,slack off for that week,scream more
If rejected, laugh out loud probably, cuz there's like 0.0001% chance i am gonna get accepted</p>

79

<p>accepted: post on facebook and tell everyone on aim
rejected: "I wasn't expecting to get in anyway."</p>

<p>That's all I really can think of doing. And it's probably gonna happen just like that.</p>

80

<p>I absolutely think I will not get in. So if it swings one way, it'll be just what I expected and the other will be total shock.</p>
