You're being given a chance to get out, OK? There's gonna be some serious moaning in here. If you are likely to get depressed or upset, click "Back" now.

Right, that's emptied the thread then...
I am here to moan as i am no longer capable of doing so in real life. Last term my few moans were so oft repeated, twisted and referred to that it became a stick to beat me with. This year I have not moaned at all in public, but boy do i have lots of crap to vent.
What better place than the flameboard?

Firstly, I am sick of the company of idiots.
At lunch today with m'esteemed classmates the primary topic of conversation was an Arab classmate (not present) along the lines of "Yeah, he really talks funny, doesn't he. He like doesn't understand a word you say to him!" (laughter and "Yeah!"s follow) He also drew mocking remarks for his beard and clothing, both religiously-based. I just sat there with a face like thunder, looking around to try and spot at least SOMEONE else in the group who was offended. Nope.

I am also pissed off with people in my hall, (see past threads), whose barbarian nature wouldn't be out of place during the Sack of Rome.

I also have now been landed with a team project to work on. This involves writing a huge volume of words on some obscure scientific topic. Doing a solo one would be hard enough, but I am composing it jointly with a brace of morons who will do sweet F.A. until 1 day to deadline, and then accuse me of not pulling my weight for refusing to stay up all night to finish it. I've seen this happen before.

And on a genrally despairing-for-humanity note, I recently tried engaging in some CON-VER-SA-TION with what I took for one of the more respectable of my classmates. I asked if he was religious, or if he ever considered "meaning of life" stuff. "nah, not really,",came the reply. These people exist only to arse around the world, use up valuable air, food, etc. and make life unpleasant for the fraction of the populace who ARE decent human beings.

The far future is going to be magnificent of course...
but the more direct future is going to SUCK.

Monty, that's a pretty heavy conversation. I generally start with "Do you like mittens?" but I guess "So, what's the meaning of life old chap?" has validity.

Well, it wasn't the first thing I ever said to them. After knowing them for a few months you'd think you could start to ask slightly deeper questions...

And to throw another log onto the bonfire of the vanities:

Today the girl I am crazy about, but who is (bafflingly ) engaged to another man, came in aglow. I ask "Why the big smile?" The reply; "I've just been given a date for my wedding!".

My reaction? Recall "The Enemy Within"... and Evil Kirk's reaction to getting a neck pinch. He pretty much expressed my feelings at that point.

That's why women are evil and should be used only for tail.

Not much offense at any rate.

But still, what frickin' university are you AT Joe? The University for the terminally offensive and stupid? (Apart from you, obviously, he he).

try doing group projects, for a get this a critical thinking class, where you are the only sober person, and the 3 other people in your group, 1) are stoned and 2)havn'et read the chapters yet that the project is on.. it is frusterating going to college especially chico state, which back in 1978 was voted the number 2 party school in the nation, and since then has been flooded with drooling idiots paying thousands of dollars a year to party and get laid...

Still at Reading? I don't know what to tell you. I'd say transfer to the US, but it would be more of the same here, I'm afraid. And I remember your post last semester. There's just not much to hope for, the world is going to hell in a hand basket, whatever a hand basket is.

However I can't say thatI agree completely with us "only being good for tail"... but that could just be me.....

I'm pretty sure universities here in NB are better than that... During the second year, anyways, after all that trash has been weeded out.

NB?

And at the comment that US universities are better than UK ones: Hah! I spit on your face.

Besides, can you imagine Monty in that repressed atmosphere that the US creates around alcohol. As a Scot, it'd drive him mad in 3 seconds.

Aye.

First, NEVER do a group project if there's ANY possible way to get out of it. That is, unless the project is done at your own and the others' initiative.

Secondly, women are evil. But so am I. This explains why so many of my close friends through life have been women. (But not why I got little or no tail from any of them.)

Lastly...

Oh, I forget. There was a brilliant thesis I was going to write here, but it's escaped me. I haven't slept since Sunday.

The thought of attending an american university esends shivers down my spine. Eeee! Dawson's Creek! Nay, Saved by the Bell! What man could live with both the freakish people around you and the constant laugh-track?

Actually Monty, you get used to the laughtrack. Keep in mind, Americans grow up with it, so we're well accustomed to it. It's like, it's like, it's like the butter on your popcorn.

Ahh, see, that was refreshing to hear when I typed that line.

Don't worry Monty. Just become a punk. You'll instantly be treated a world of friends, fun, and discussion (mostly about booze, drugs, sex, the Pistols, and the need for anarchy)

It's fun!

GAh.... *takes mental note to smite Liam for being unable to spell names*

and it's no big deal. My hall has a computer room open all night, except when closed for private masturbation-online sessions for other inmates. I just wander in, out-of my skull and start typing crap before losing focus and going off to besd giggling like a Prescott.
