  1. I think I'm gonna grow a beard over the summer. It's the only time I can really get away with it since my university requires I have no beard.

    1. @pony Well that sounds like a boring university

      Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:01:55 UTC from web
    2. @pony :o. Does it actually? It would be fun to grow one.

      Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:02:17 UTC from web
    3. @pony Really? Is there some particular reason they don't?

      Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:02:21 UTC from web
    4. @pony Switch universities RAIGHT NAOOOOO!!!

      1. @alargesmallhorse @scribus @renovatedkitchen @macpony55 BYU is rated the # Sone-cold sober according to an Oxford survey.. We're even above an Amish school. No alcholo or tobacco on campus, must shave, strict dress code. Filtered internet. Life couldn't be better!

        1. @pony that's crazy, man. Why are you going there?

          Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:07:51 UTC from web
          1. @alargesmallhorse Skype?

            Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:09:12 UTC from web
            1. @dlcentaur I would, but my mom's gonna use my computer for taxes soon. Not sure how long it will last, though. She usually gets home about now, so I'd just get her done with it and I might a little later if that's alright.

              1. @alargesmallhorse Ok, sure. I can wait... I'm just bored and tired....and bored

                Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:13:28 UTC from web
                1. @dlcentaur fair enough.

                  Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:13:51 UTC from web
          2. @alargesmallhorse also, their foreign language and animation programs are world renowned

            Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:09:27 UTC from web
            1. @pony I respect no establishment that requires 2D animators to take 3D courses. Does that school do such?

              Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:12:21 UTC from web
              1. @alargesmallhorse hmm.. well I know that 3D animators are required to learn the basics of 2D, but since I never was admitted to the animation program, I can't say for sure. I could check on that though.. BYU has won student emmys for their animation for the last 10 years if I'm not mistaken. Our forte is effects. John Lassetr (sp>) has called our school the best in the nation.

                1. @pony Don't care unless the proposed question is answered.

                  Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:19:48 UTC from web
                  1. @alargesmallhorse lessee here.. the BYU college for animation actually does not require the intro to 3D animation class of all its students.. so I guess it's alright

                    Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:26:05 UTC from web
                    1. @pony still hate your school. *hmph*

                      Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:26:56 UTC from web
                      1. @alargesmallhorse haha! I really don't mind the strict honor code or religious requirements, but there's one class that really rustles my jimmies. I've decided to take its equivalent at a neighboring university and transfer it. I hate BYU's CS 236 Discreet Structures class.

                        Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:30:18 UTC from web
        2. @pony @alargesmallhorse @scribus @renovatedkitchen @macpony55 heck! it's even impossible to find caffeinated beveages sold on campus. I attend BYU because I love the student community. Very friendly.

          Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:08:28 UTC from web
          1. @pony Good community is important.

            Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:09:24 UTC from web
            1. @alargesmallhorse @scribus @renovatedkitchen @macpony55 BYU requires a yearly ecclesiastical endorsement from a local leader at whichever religious organization you attend (you must attend one or at the very least if you're irreligious you must speak to your local LDS Bishop) It /is/ possible to have a beard without breaking the honor code if you get a doctor's note lol*

              Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:13:13 UTC from web
              1. @pony lol. "I am sorry but _____ here is sick with "the beard". "

                Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:14:22 UTC from web
                1. @renovatedkitchen yeah lol* skin conditions and whatnot I guess allow for beards. Also, if your religion, work (eg. you're acting in a play and need to grow one) requires it you're allowed

                  Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:20:13 UTC from web
                  1. @pony Wow. That is rediculous. But then again, like you said. The student community is super friendly.

                    Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:21:21 UTC from web
                    1. @renovatedkitchen *nods* Well we tend to get along since we're 90% members of the same church

                      Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:22:44 UTC from web
                      1. @pony That's awesome. So its sorta like a real life RDN apart from the church?

                        Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:24:50 UTC from web
              2. @pony That school sounds like it should be burnt to the ground. Googling address now

                Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:14:43 UTC from web
                1. @alargesmallhorse lulz! It's a private university.. largest in the nation.. so it can do as it pleases mostly

                  Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:18:19 UTC from web
                  1. @pony I still have the urge to burn it down.

                    Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:18:50 UTC from web
                    1. @alargesmallhorse "I see... are there voices telling you to do these things?"

                      Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:20:07 UTC from web
                      1. @nlghtmaremoon Yeah, my own.

                        1. @alargesmallhorse "I see... and how does that make you feel?"

                          Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:23:50 UTC from web
                          1. @nlghtmaremoon It makes me feel good... and when I feel good, I sing... and the joy it brings makes me feel good...

                            Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:26:32 UTC from web
                            1. @alargesmallhorse I see... and how does thaaaat make you feel?

                              Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:29:41 UTC from web
                              1. @nlghtmaremoon makes me feel good... and when I feel good...

                                Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:44:22 UTC from web
                    2. @alargesmallhorse I feel that way about Hollywood too often.

                      Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:21:42 UTC from web
                      1. @pony have you ever been to Hollywood? Burning it down would be doing it a favor.

                        Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:22:37 UTC from web
                        1. @alargesmallhorse Hollywood on fire or flooded or buried by mountains.. whichever they like is fine by me.

                          Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:42:50 UTC from web
                          1. @pony wut?

                            Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:43:27 UTC from web
                      2. @pony lol me too, then I remember Christopher Nolan :D

              3. @pony Fair 'nuff. I guess. /shrug

                Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:18:46 UTC from web
          2. @pony I don't really like drugs or alcohol-rich environments like alot of colleges, but barring casual smokers and bearded people is just ridiculous.

            Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:10:12 UTC from web
        3. @pony Well, that's good for you, then. You kinda lose me on the shaving & dress code bit, especially the shaving part. But I can deal with no alcolol or tobacco on campus, even I'm sober during class.

          Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:09:12 UTC from web
        4. @pony That sucks. But hey, a friendly student community is something I would give all that for. And ponies.

          Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:10:21 UTC from web
        5. @pony @scribus I couldn't deal with living in a place with filtered internet and not being able to take care of my nice beard. I even have beard wax for it!

          Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:11:37 UTC from web
          1. @nerthos I've contemplated getting 'stache wax before. Especially when my goatee was like 8 inches long.

            Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:13:14 UTC from web
            1. @scribus It is pretty hard to find. The ladies of all the hair products stores I went to didn't even knew what it was. One tought I was asking for depilating wax. I had to settle with hair wax.

              Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:26:30 UTC from web
          2. @nerthos you should try a Mustache!\

            Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:14:30 UTC from web
            1. @nlghtmaremoon I'm growing one too!

              Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:25:10 UTC from web
    5. @pony BYU / BYUi? Or am I just guessing?

      Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:03:04 UTC from web
      1. @foxgopher you got it!

        Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:06:53 UTC from web
        1. @pony Lol. that is my least favorite rule ever. Get a beard card!

          Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:09:59 UTC from web
          1. @foxgopher haha! Are you an alumnus? BYUi is even stricter than BYU. I'm just glad I'm in Provo.

            Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:45:39 UTC from web
            1. @pony I go to USU but my parents went to provo and my sister is at byui and I have tons of peeps up there.

              Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:47:59 UTC from web
              1. @foxgopher oh cool! Yep I've got family around these parts thanks to the school.

                Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:49:28 UTC from web
                1. @pony Basically my whole family is from SLC.

                  Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:53:58 UTC from web
                  1. @foxgopher gotcha! I was born there, but my family moved to Maryland and I only came back for school.

                    Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:55:39 UTC from web
                    1. @pony Basically the same. I live in Vegas. Whereabouts in Maryland?

                      1. @foxgopher just north of DC in SilverSpring not far from the LDS temple.

                        Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 02:59:22 UTC from web
                        1. @pony Oh nice. I had a friend who lived up around there.

                          Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 03:03:40 UTC from web
                          1. @foxgopher yup! I'm guessing you're LDS? That would make 4 I know of on RDN including myself

                            Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 03:06:01 UTC from web
                            1. @pony I am. I think you're the only one I know of.

                              Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 03:22:18 UTC from web
                              1. @foxgopher @jojoax is (and lives in SLC) and @matrixjorel attends BYU with me.

                                Wednesday, 18-Apr-12 03:24:02 UTC from web
