(12:09 am PT) - I'm surrounded.
[link] - (sarcastic)
School rant.
So now I have a business writing class. But these classes are apparently taken in a certain pattern, because the assignments are often linked. So those taking COM 210 are
assumed to be taking EHT 123, which I think is some sort of humanities class. All well and good, except I'm not taking that, I'm taking an IT class, (finally). But wait, the final project in COM 210 is a powerpoint presentation based on the final project in EHT 123. Um, yeah. And upon asking my instructor what should I do for my final project instead, I'm told to, "prepare your presentation on race in your residential or general city community".
What the flippity fuck? Can you make that topic any broader, I don't think my brain has busted enough, thanks. Race in my community in regards to
what, praytell? Race and social class? Race and IQ? Race and they just freakin' exist? What?
But it gets better, because we're supposed to have a particular signature line, and while answering my question, I'm told that I need to configure my signature according to the instructions she posted in the class material. Apparently nobody in this school ever thinks that
not everyone uses outlook express when they write these instructions. Besides, I know how to change my signature, just tell me what it should and shouldn't have and I'll freakin' do it..
Unlike seemingly everyone else who I've taken these classes with, I feel a need to point out that I am NOT computer illiterate, thankyouveryfuckingmuch.
If I go on the schedule I have, I would get the AA exactly on December 31, leaving me to start on the BA in 07. But I'm tempted to take a week off and just push it back
and hopefully get a different instructor.

(11:45 pm PT) - Hail the conquering IDIOT
[link] - (sarcastic)
Guess what? It appears that my idiot collection was getting dusty, so
this nice person gave me a shiny new one for a post that's over two years old! Give them a round of applause, won't you?
Now obviously I can't thank this individual personally. Seems they were having a problem with a yellow streak down their back, and left no way for me to contact them. Gee, I hope they fix that. I certainly wouldn't want them to be mistakenly labelled as a coward who sniped on outdated post and ran away. Where's the feelings of accomplishment? I mean, if you're going to say something, shouldn't you
want to hear back from the party to know your message has made some sort of impact?
However, I do appreciate that they saw fit to take a post that doesn't have the word hate anywhere in it, yet use it to describe my feelings for the subject matter. I mean, I had no idea that when I
said I didn't like the Auron Rikku fics that I actually
meant I hated them. I'm so happy this was cleared up for me. It's obvious that when I say something, I really don't mean it, so my idiot collection has to tell me what I'm
really saying.
You know what's rather amusing? That post was for
Kit, meaning it was an opinion shared by two people. But my brand spanking new idiot must have been doing a google or some other engine search, came across it, and just felt this underwhelming compulsion to add their unremarkable opinion, (two years later, mind you).
And leave us not forget
the big honking disclaimer that's been in place since the dawn of time. That's what makes my idiot collection so special, you see. They never catch that. This puts them in a class above and beyond your everyday, garden variety morons.
I don't like those. Just too many of them. I need my idiots to be special. You know, failing remedial classes kind of pizazz.
This idiot's going in a place all its own, the one where there's no shift key and words aren't spelled out.
Has my snark-o-meter exploded yet?
Listen you putz. I don't know how much plainer I can make this without typing with one finger and using single syllable words.
My Journal. My Opinion.
If I wanted
your opinion, I would beat it out of you with a dead, rotting, worm infested squirrel. I didn't tell you to come here. I'm not holding that gun to your head. (It would be a waste of a bullet, apparently.) And I need your two cents like Pamela Anderson needs another breast implant.
And if there's any hope that your two functioning braincells haven't shorted out yet, understand that I said I didn't like the fics. I have no problem with the fans, but whether you want to believe it or not, what I said was true: Those two characters hardly spoke in the game, and therefore it's
reaching to make them a couple unless you're a
damn good writer. And guess what there's a surprising lack of when it comes to that?
Then again, don't guess. You'll need that last braincell to remember how to breathe and walk at the same time.

(1:18 pm PT) - Voting scam?
[link] - (sarcastic)
Someone has posted about a
possible voting scam in their LJ. It is something they've personally experienced, and wish to warn others about. I find the drama funny, because at one point the author does state, "...You can draw your own conclusions..." (I'm too lazy to look up the exact quote. ) Yes, she does
imply it smells of funny Republican, but the response from the conservatives that want to jump on the attack makes me equal parts annoyed yet amused. It wasn't even a serious, "Bush did it" kind of implication, but oh, they do jump on the defensive. One person trolling goes so far as to blame the Florida voters for being "dumb" in the 2000 election.
A lot of people, especially those jumping on the "defend conservatism" bandwagon, are failing to miss the true point. Someone can make it very difficult for you to vote, and take away the supposed right for you to be heard in how this country runs. [five minutes taking for much snarky laughter at blatant propaganda machine] Anyway, someone can screw you over if you want to vote, so be careful. Period. End of story.
Speaking of conservatism, I wish I'd saved an article in the LA Times I came acress a few weeks ago. In it, it remarked that conservatism politics tend to screw over middle class the most, yet in response, people become
even more conservative and blame liberals.
Forget bless, God (or Goddess)
save America, because it's going to the dogs.
And the first Right wing, anally probed, ignorant, blabbing to be heard cause you got here through google and damnit, you're opinion is going to be heard fuctard who wants to come up and make a comment on this? Let me point something out to you right now.
I don't care.
If I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you. Those comment forms aren't for you. They're for acquaintances who can civilly, logically, and reasonably agree or disagree with me, and spell out an entire sentence while doing it. I assure you, 9 of 10, and especially if you jsut googled into the wrong place, that's not you.

(2:37 pm PT) - Destiny, yours is not a good one
[link] - (sarcastic)
Dear
Destiny,
Oh did
you pick the wrong time to bother me with your trifling, wooden nickel comment today. You see, I honestly don't care what you like. I didn't make that
name generator for you, contrary to your haughty, egotistical, pompous, conceited, misconceived beliefs. See me? This is me not kissing your royal
fanny fingers because you sit on the internet throne of grandeur thinking that everything must be made to entertain you. Did I ask you to google, (or whatever search engine you used), into my personal journal and use that program? No. Did I ask for opinions from any stranger who was bored and had some time to kill, or just had no life and decided to post their displeasure about it? No. Did I even ask you to grace me with your highly opinionated comment so that I can try and improve it to suit your needs?
The second word is no. The first word starts with an F, ends with a K, and has U and C in the middle.
Since you didn't leave any means to contact you in the comment
because you were too much of a craven coward, I'll settle for voicing my own displeasure at you taking up my time and bandwidth for a comment that will be deleted in a few days, just so I can embrace my own illusions of godlike powers. (Translation: because I
can.) If you want choices, go back to your search engine. That's what it's there for.

(9:19 am PT) - The dots, and they're all mine!
[link] - (sarcastic)
Why, people? What obsessive-compulsive streak is it in your nature that compells you to post unnecessary comments that have no point, rhyme, or reason? Do you realise what kind of fodder you give me to use in any sadistic way I see fit? Really now, have I not collected enough morons to display on my shelf?
But if you insist.
2002/07/22 - I make a post about the
Djinn from my demon book (title too long to bother with). I post this for those of us (
Kit and Raine) who are curious about such things. After which, it's promptly forgotten.
Flash to today, where I get a comment alert. I find it strange, then hope perhaps it's someone answering my question from last
Thursday, (something I'm going to save for my next post). Lo and behold, it is not. No, it's "kerr en kelley" leaving me three lovely and wonderful
dots to decorate Locuran with. Isn't that so generous of them?
First off, no, I don't recognise "kerr en kelley." If I'm supposed to, well I don't. Second, three dots for a two year old post? Whooo boy, I can feel my brain cells just raring to get all intellectual over
that one.
Obviously, kerr en kelley here wanted to make sure I understood that they were expressing their extreme silence about this post. Because we all know just
ignoring it was not good enough. Oh no. See, if kerr en kelley had just ignored it, (like any sane, logical, and rational minded individual(s) most likely
would do), then how would I know it was kerr en kelley doing the silence bit? So for my benefit, to make sure I know who's giving my the silent treatment, I get three whole dots all to my little self.
Isn't that grand, everyone?
Oh yes, and kerr en kelley left an email address. Though whether it's real or not is anyone's guess. But I'm sure kerr en kelley will regret that action if the spiders come 'round, and there's no way for any non-site member to delete their own post.
Oooh, bad mistake.
Of course, dearest kerr en kelley could always ask me to remove the comment. That's the most sensible thing to do. But, naw. I love my brand spanking new dots! Why would I want to get rid of them?
So thank you, kerr en kelley. I will treasure these dots forever and ever.
