Just popping in to say I can't believe nobody corrected all the misspellings of "absurdist." Unless you meant that the humor was the most absurd that is possible, rather than being of the absurdism genre.
PS: Also, it's "that opinion is suspect," not "subject." ... unless you meant to say it was subjective, which would be a tautology.

I hate this little arrogant shit in my class. He acts like he's smarter than everyone and it pisses me off. Thing is, HE'S ONE OF THE YOUNGEST THERE! How arrogant is he? He watches Family Guy but not South Park because South Park makes fun of people's beliefs. Kids are dumb let's just leave it at that.
Oops. It was late, I was tired, and that was the way the Chrome spelling auto-correct kept telling me to spell it. Should've listened to my gut instinct.
I am totally using that line, thanks.

I wish the price of gas would drop by half again. As it is I can not afford to go visit my mom again until next month.

THAT made me laugh in class. well done.
Guh. I hate sitting near noisy eaters. One of the guys who works in our vendor space is eating stew and crackers. He slurps every spoonful of stew, smacks his lips constantly, noisily crunches the crackers, and licks his fingers after crumbling the crackers with a little 'pop' after each lick. It's incredibly annoying.

I hate that too that's just gross.
That's a fascinating idea... but as much as I'd rather be working a different job, in a different city, I'd prefer not to have to make that move just right now.

The theme of tonight’s Negotiation and Settlement class was basically this joke our prof told us:
The medical center has decided to use lawyers, instead of rats, for their experiments.
There's more of 'em.
You don't get as attached to them.
And there's somethings even rats won't do!
The, fake, case we were working on involved a candy shop owned by a 70 year old woman and a big corporation that wanted to buy it. I was on the corporation side. While we are reading through this we found out that our company wanted to bulldoze the candy shop and put up an office building but since the old lady would most likely raise the prices to prohibitive levels if she knew that was our intent we were told we could tell her we were going to turn it into Tom’s Candies. Tom’s Candies being a shell company that was created for the purpose.
My first reaction was oh my god this is slimy! No way am I doing that. My partner agreed and when we went into the negotiations we were pretty upfront about what our client intended to do with the property. We really didn’t care because it is all fake anyway. We talked for a while they offered to sell, we both put out some numbers and never reached an agreement. After it was all over we were telling our opposition about what our fact pattern said and it turned out that their fact pattern said that the building was about to be taken under by eminent domain in 2 years anyway! They did not tell us and were going to sell for a few million anyway. So like they said, they had decided not to take the high road like we did.
When I got back to class and we are all discussing it I learned that most of my classmates did not “take the high road”. I was like holy shit guys you are going to screw over this old lady?! Yeah I guess they are.
But then the prof started talking and he was throwing around words like ethics and FRAUD and malpractice and I think all the non-high road takers learned a lesson there. Maybe they thought since it was just fake they wouldn’t care what they did but I couldn’t even bring myself to lie for pretend.
I don't know if I want to work with these people...

So am I and so is the Prof....
Good for you Makere, take them down a peg!
I just realized something hilarious. This one friend I have always acts like he's smarter than everyone else. Thing is...he hasn't read a book in two years. I read at least one book within 3 months(slow reader). Still more than him.

I haven't ready any new leisure books in about a year but my sister read through the twilight series... Think about this.
You win?
...I will admit, I am not sure how to respond to that.
....HA!
Mine is a total first world whining right here. Why are there so many damn things to watch on the internet? By the time I'm into one series, I start another and don't finish the previous one and so on and so on! How can I finish Fillmore! when I still haven't finished Star Trek, Breaking Bad, or Monk?

SeraRelm
Pretty much, yeah. Only not so much the crying and more the me staying up till 4 A.M ....deciding what to watch. Be glad you don't Aspergers syndrome.

SeraRelm
That's the first world problems meme picture.
.....okay. Glad for point of reference!
One thing that bugs me about having Aspergers is the freaking pressure! You know how many genius had Aspergers syndrome? Ludwig von Beethoven, Albert Einstein, Jim Henson, brilliant minds! The most I got is a semi-photographic memory and the obsession to count my teeth.
