"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." -J. SmithI'm so pissed off at the idiots in the building.
You guessed it, nobody came to the capture the flag thing. Well, three other people, I found out- at 9 when I got home after waiting around for people to show up on the field- didn't happen. I am soooooo annoyed. How am I ever gonna get anywhere here if I can't be around the guy? What am I gonna have to do, resort to damsel-in-distress crap ("I got locked out . . . again") to get anywhere? Grrrrr.
He did say "maybe we should rent a movie", but that didn't happen either. I gotta remember to say at the next meeting that we shouldn't bother trying to do anything that would require a big group, as it is so obviously pointless.
Oh, and Jensen was wearing a frat sweatshirt (had some Greek symbols on it, one a delta's all I saw- if that was the GAY frat I swear I'm just gonna get a gun now). Another frat boy. Oh, GREAT.
I am sooooo annoyed. Never trust people to do what they say they will, because they absolutely will not do what they say or what you expect- more people said they were going to come last night, liars. I am soooooo pissed. I shouldn't even bother to go to stuff, because it's not going to come off around here.
Okay, okay, I'll think of the "bright side" of the day- which WAS going good until the end.
Got an A- on my story in writing class! Woo hoo!
Also got back a critique on my last design homework- while he wasn't too thrilled with the work itself, I gotta mention this line here (his grammar ain't the goodest, but I think it was a compliment, shocking when you see the crap I've turned out in there.):
"I believe that you a talent for this stuff"Hmmm.
As for self-defense, we learned punches and hand/elbow moves. I had a great time punching and yelling. I need a punching bag.
(I'm watching Felicity right now, and I want to know WHY all these people show up for THEIR parties. Cute that they've got a pink Power ranger there! God, Felicity KNOWS the guy's not into her, and yet she's still bawling about it? Even I'm telling her to stop it.)
Back to whatever I was saying- right, self-defense. Weird thing going on at the end- some girl asked the teacher (Karla) if she'd been attacked, and she said twice and was telling us about kicking them across the parking lot. The first time she made the guy go with her to apartment security, the second time she didn't report it. And here's the thing here, she didn't really think that we should go around reporting these things when they happen. That she wishes she hadn't turned the first guy in. She said legally she said she was supposed to say report it, but off the record . . . the legal system is biased against women, and you shouldn't try to be the "aggressor" (i.e. go after the guy and beat him up after he tries to get you), use force only after you tried to talk and it didn't work, or the guy will sue YOU. And don't ever say that you thought he was going to rape you in a statement, or they lose it . . . ONLY say "I was in fear of my life." over and over again. My God. This is a class where the message has been so far that you don't have to be cowering in fear of men, and she's now telling us to NOT squeal on someone, leave him to go out and assault again? What the hell? This is so hard to believe.
Oh, and I can't remember if I mentioned the bet thing awhile back or not: between Victor (Zorro on Spotfans) and me on whether or not I'll get a boyfriend or not by the end of the year (he bets yes, I obviously bet no). The terms have been decided . . . I buy him a CD if I do and he buys me one if I don't. I think this would make a good post for the site eventually, what do you think?
One thing I'd like to know: Why the hell is Megan jumping up and down outside, then runs in yelling "Shower time". How fricking often can you shower? They're always in there, two-three times a day, I'll bet.
One thing I want to mention, this quote:
"Is this too much to ask? Does this guy exist? Probably not. I have an idea of all qualities, but I seem to be lacking in the physical manifestation of the perfect man.It's that whole paradox thing again. I have this image of him in my mind that has no rational basis whatsoever. It's all in my imagination. So someday when we are actually on a level playing field and I get to know him, I will realize he is nothing like I imagined him to be and my image will be shattered."
Send something. Or not, disappoint me, I expect it by now.
