DIE SUPER!!! - G'morning, 2009!

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Stop humoring her!

[Idun]

I've only ever dropped one course because that professor was extremely psyduck. Yeah, I dropped that after the first test.

I didn't whore it up, but I wore skinny pants that accented my beautiful calves well enough to get plenty of looks from guys. Unfortunately the majority of all my classes (besides Phil 3000) only have 2-3 guys. I'm the kind of student who walks in, sits down, then leaves. And unfortunately, I've had classes with every single professor in my major already. OH. Yeah and I'm the only NON-PHIL major in the Phil 3000 class, and too many people were trying to talk to him after class, so I may just be like "uuuuhhh, should I be here?"

I suck at making friends in class. I can't get passed their incessant whining about stupid shit like "this class just suxx0rz and I failed the test." Me: (You're stupid) "Hah, oh really? Yeah. . . . "

[VySaika]

Picked up some games to send my sister for her birthday today. Already had The World Ends With You for her, and to that I added Wild Arms ACF and Warriors Orochi 1. I'll be sending all this out tomorrow~

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Your sister must love you very much, Gate. Nice little package.

What? People talking about vapid subjects when you first meet them?!  I am shocked.

You probably just used a bad example, but this makes it sounds like you have no idea how to meet new people. Of course people talk about incessant things at a first meeting... you're not generally going to get substantial conversation without getting through the introductory transient phases...

The internet has spoiled you~ >.>;;

[Cmdr_King]

I'd imagine her complaint here is less the shallowness of the conversation (although sure, it's not really very much fun to talk about trivialities) than the content; that is, people bitching about the hardness of classes she finds easy.  Evaluating someone as simply not on your level intellectually is generally something that dissuades you from bothering to stick around them.

This is of course unfair really; some people are perfectly smart but simply struggle within a formal academic environment, and other are probably perfectly capable of keeping up but think complaining about it anyway is the best way to appear non-threatening and forge friendships.  Took me years to work that out, but then I was just an elitist little prick in grade/middle school.

That.  So very that.  Then I started smoking pot and eventually figured it all out. 

[Idun]

No, it's not that I feel they're stupid. Taking Art History classes, I'm generally taking it with a lot of the same people plus or minus random increments of studio majors signing up if it's required, or if they just want to. The people who do talk to me, are people who have talked to me the last few years, and haven't changed anything on their perspective and are art history majors. That's what sort of makes me think they're stupid (I mean to equate with vapid which isn't a fair parallel at all). It also makes me uninterested in meeting more in class, but for starters I talked to about a handful of new faces today in Phil/Egyptian (granted I already know like, 80% of them)

 I have absolutely no problem meeting folks in the library/cafeteria/etc as I don't have that past attachment history with them. And a lot of the AH folks are like, 35 year old women [which isn't bad, but typically isn't the kind of person I expect to unconditionally hang out with]. Brackets. Yeah. Call me judgmental, but it takes more than a day plus some to classroom bff.

Edit* And yes. When I exit class, that's when I socialize. When I enter class, it's totally ":|"

[NotMiki]

personally, I think you're missing out.  Listening to people talk in class is a really easy way to tell if you're gonna get along.  They say opposites attract, but really, just strike up conversations with people who sound like you do when you're answering questions and it's tough to go wrong.  Y'know, if there are any.

[superaielman]

Too much touchy feely stuff.

*Cues the final countdown*

dolorousanschlag (12:08:26 AM): *Cues the final countdown*
Youkairyuu (12:08:32 AM): ...
Youkairyuu (12:08:35 AM): Uh
dolorousanschlag (12:08:42 AM): You can't go wrong with that!
Youkairyuu (12:09:17 AM): That doesn't fix the problem of excessive emo in the good morning thread though!
dolorousanschlag (12:10:05 AM): Not when I post about the final countdown there!
Youkairyuu (12:10:11 AM): ...
Youkairyuu (12:10:20 AM): That'd just be weird...
dolorousanschlag (12:10:23 AM): I do random shit just to see how the universe reacts.

I am well past the age where I should know better. Yep.

Or it didn't happen.

[Cmdr_King]

Sister called.  Apparently she's been back from Florida for a few weeks (apparently not going back either), but this is the first time she's called.  Told her to come to the bar and I'd buy them all dinner, which she actually did!  Sooooo I basically spent most of my time at work hanging out with my sister and having photos of me holding my nephew taken >.>

The odd part is that I didn't actually have to buy the dinner, waitress just waived it all for whatever reason.  Ah well.

[Idun]

That sounds awesome CK. And you're an uncle? Awwww. How did it feel holding a baby?

NotMiki: Perhaps. I'm just srs bsns in class. Before/after I'm "lol hai guys." I dunno. I'll try talking to folks before class (while in class), but I dunno if that's going to make much more of a difference as I talk a hell of a lot out of it after and before.

 InfinityDragon: ":|"  : b It happened! I have vouchers!

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

And you're an uncle? Awwww.

Memphis Elmer Raymond Roan.  4/10/09, ~9:30 am.  8 lbs+

Why she wanted to go with two middle names I'll never understand.

Four months already! I still like "Raymond".

[Cotigo]

INCONVENIENCES: Waking up early to go apply for a specific type of financial aid that will make it so the Student Union isn't paying my check, the guvment is.  This will let me keep my job for sure, and without it there's a very small chance I could lose my job which would suck.  Anyway, not too bad, eh, go into the office, wait a bit, play some phoenix wright, brush up a little on my kanji...

Oh, wait, what's that?  I need my UNM ID?  Well, I have my ID number.  I have government ID.  I have my SSN.  Any of those work instead?  No, you need my ID, eh?

Fuck.

I lost it yesterday and am fairly sure I left it at work.  If so, it just means I have to wake up early again (;_;) tomorrow.  If not, it means I have to wake up early tomorrow and pay 20 dollars for a new ID.

This is a minor inconvenience.

[Lady Door]

My brain is broken again and I have a hard time focusing on any one task for more than 5-10 minutes and spend most of my work hours surfing the internet. DESPITE THIS, I am still the quickest, most productive and helpful employee here. My reward for this efficiency is sheer boredom in between tasks.

Also, English is already starting to fail me. I need to start writing again.

[superaielman]

Go talk about the WoT in the book topic, that is fun.

[Bardiche]

NotMiki: Perhaps. I'm just srs bsns in class. Before/after I'm "lol hai guys." I dunno. I'll try talking to folks before class (while in class), but I dunno if that's going to make much more of a difference as I talk a hell of a lot out of it after and before.

I'm the same, actually. Outside of classes, I'll do stupid things with everyone, and talk about trivial things like whether or not cheese is a good supplement to bread and if the world wouldn't be a better place if we didn't have a queen here ni the downlands.

In class, I'm srs bsns faze and talk considerably less. Unless the class bores me, then I assault my neighbour with questions or observations of things that interest me, and usually I sit next to someone I've gotten acquainted with closer over chatter during breaks. It probably helps my case that my classmates usually want to do a lot of things together to get acquainted and everything.

In the end, I think you should do whatever makes you most comfortable if you want to make friends. Being yourself is the best way to make friends, because then they know what they're getting themselves into and uh, if you think people in your class are boring/uninteresting/STUPID LOL then maybe you're just unlucky.

Request for SKINNY JEANS ACCENTUATING BEAUTIFUL CALVES PICTURES seconded, by the way.

Lady Door is a writer?

[Idun]

unlucky, emo, angsty, iono. I have the rest of the semester to change my mind as I am open-minded, just not ready to jump!

and fine, fine, you guys got me:

[Lady Door]

It's not very nice to post pictures of me without asking, Idun.  

*ducks and moves on*

Lady Door is a sometimes writer! I have folders full of half-started stuff, finished stuff (bad stuff and really bad stuff), and notesnotesnotesnotesideasnotes. When I get around to sending it out, I usually get published (go fig!), but I haven't tried the big paid markets yet because I am so goddamned lazy and not quite in the frame of mind to accept rejections with grace.

Instead, I am again editing someone else's novel! Sci fi this time.

*kicks in the head anyway*

[Shale]

And now it's time for Good Idea, Bad Idea, as taught by example (not by me!) in my place of business.

Good Idea: Working a second job to make ends meet.

*Insert footage of Mr. Skullhead waiting tables*

Bad Idea: Working a second job to make ends meet...while you're on the clock at your first job.

*Insert footage of Mr. Skullhead being fired*

[VySaika]

Sounds like you need to golfclap for that guy on his way out, Shale.

[InfinityDragon]

and fine, fine, you guys got me:

...but I see no beautiful and accented calves! I see midriff and upper thighs; even a panty shot that would put MOMO to shame, but where are the beautiful calves!?

*Smack* Bad.

If you can get the drive to write, may as well try to get published. Writing's a hell of a tough field in general. One of my favorite Sanderson comments was an offhanded line about how he wrote a half dozen novels before making one that he thought was publishable. (Elantris). Suppose that's true of all authors, but you got to try.

School starting again for me tomorrow. Summer was a glorious waste of time that I am going to probably regret on many levels in the long term, but damned if I didn't enjoy it.
