Maybe try some text based games so you don't have to deal with the graphics programming? Maybe a text based RPG, or something with ASCII "graphics". Either one would be fun, and would help you practice so you can better understand the harder stuff.
Oh come on. It was supposed to be a joke. You know, those things that people sometimes laugh at?
I was merely commenting on the ambiguity of the phrase "Apache Cookbook". Because, you see, you can have a "Mexican Cookbook". But you can also have a "Dessert Cookbook". Get it?? Is it funny now that I explained it? Wheeeeeeee, everybody laugh now!!
I actually read an article that argued (somewhat facetiously) that the safest car of all would be one with a giant metal spike coming out of the steering wheel. Pointed at your chest. You'd certainly drive carefully that way!
"Reasonably" cute, eh? Is that supposed to be some sort of compliment?
How about I just go on about my business, breaking down the stereotype that pretty girls aren't allowed to like computers. And you can go on about your business, reinforcing the stereotype that slashdotters have no social skills and can't spell.
We may end up cancelling each other out, but good luck you just the same.:)
Finding something you enjoy is definitely key.
May I suggest rock climbing? There are indoor gyms in most major cities. If you're a scrawny guy who wants to get some nice muscles, you might find climbing far more enjoyable than a weight room. It is incredibly satisfying to get to the top of a wall that you previously couldn't do, and you don't even notice that you're getting a full body workout while you're at it!
Lest you think it's all about strength, I'll mention that I am a skinny girl with not a lot of upper body strength, but I make up for it by having a good sense of balance.
Just my sales pitch for my favorite sport. Give it a try!:)

Good luck!
a cashier can just scan the barcode and they know where to return my keys to.
Yeah, and they also know which house to loot. Smart one.

I must ask: cooking by Native Americans, or cooking of Native Americans?
There's a difference, you know.

Oh man, I totally made the same mistake when I first started reading. (I can't believe I'm actually admitting this.)
Then I thought, "Wait a minute..... ANONYMOUS.... NOW I GET IT!" *smacks self in forehead*
I am smart, S-M-R-T smart.
I vaguely remembered the article, but what really jogged my memory is that creepy guy over in the righthand margin.
My life really would have been just fine without having to see that guy again, but noooooo. Stupid slashdot dupes.
In a World...
What, no "In a world?"
