stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Christmas

I keep reading the Conneticut Shootings thread even though every other post makes me cringe and makes my day a little bit worse. Also, worried my cat's been making himself sick from lapping up the condensation run-off that's been gathering in that little black-mould infested trough below the sliding glass door. Also realized that water's been seeping into the carpet and there's probably mould festering under there too. Don't have time to call the land lord atm cuz I gotta rush off to a session, ack!

I just found out that Hitler had a sister

right???

 

Alcofribas you missed an open invitation to get post-structuralist on his structuralist ass and explain calmly that the move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as pound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power.

 

 

(what I'm saying is just pull some Judith Butler quotes from google and watch his head asplode)

never in my life did i imagine some one would threaten me with a linguistics conversation in which my ass would be assaulted with structuralist diatribes. i mean, what is this i don't even

Haha, that is pretty incredible. You really should have taken him up on it. It'll never happen again.

FWP: I almost replied in that shooting thread, but realized I didn't want to get even more caught up in it. Yet part of me still wants to go in there and make the point. Stupid impulses, plz fuck off.

???? So?

well now I want to learn more about her but I'm pretty stressed right now with the fucking school.

so my FWP is: time + school

I absolutely love Hitler and Nazi history. ive seen just about every history channel special there is on the subject. and there are a lot of decedents of Hitler around the world. they all changed there name though (obviously). its interesting stuff.

Shit man, ex-nostalgia is the shittiest force in the universe.

Good luck with yours.

those things are hard no matter what, but keep your chin up glunk! find something new for you to think and wonder about, focus more on the happiness that you gained from this relationship and how this change is not a permanent one but one that will guide you, one that reflects what is true 2 u

“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass.”

I'm going through pretty much the same thing jules is going through in his work related thread and it's doing my head in.

im going to see the hobbit tonight.

i HATE professors who take attendence. it's the BIGGEST CROCK OF FUCKING SHIT

after all the fucking work I put in. just test me, motherfucker. I'll get passing stripes on the actual material. but noooo. I didn't come to fucking class enough for you. because I'M THE ONE PAYING... I guess this is some kind of fucking JOB where I get FIRED for not showing up to the shit I'M PAYING FOR

fuck professors and fuck the school system. just test me on the material and FUCK OFF

ironically it's a german class, and one thing we learned about this "foreign culture" is that in their colleges attendence is 0% required and it all comes down to the tests at the end of the year

what a fucking load of completely illogical irrational bullshit. fuck you, professor, and fuck the department.

(I know it was all explained up front, but this is a travesty... just a few more points and my grade would have been fine. I blame this on the irrationality of the department. You can shake your head at me and call me a whining baby but frankly, all I've learned is that the people who run this thing are incompetent pricks and their lives must be quite miserable never thinking outside the box)

Two days ago I heard someone say, without any irony and in all fucking seriousness: "oh Prodigy, that's the dubstep of the 90's"

 

 

 

And it still bothers the living fuck out of me

more then a week later and it still fucking bothers me (a bit less tho, but still)

I have an "apocalypse" party to go to on Friday with people from work. Can't think of one good excuse to go (edit: skip) and my wife doesn't want to go with me so I'm going solo. I don't like parties 99% of the time and especially parties with people from work. I'm sure there are going to be a bunch of dick-measuring conversations about where everybody went to school and whether it was a public U or a private college (I think most of the attendees went to the local private college). The girl throwing the party is my office mate and she's really nice which makes it even worse imo, especially since she's a very hard worker and, well, I'm posting to WATMM from work if that tells you anything. I'm already stressed about this... at this point I will probably think about it way too much over the next couple of days and will just be looking forward to getting it over with.

I should go to a shrink and get a prescription for beta blockers or something. I should not feel this way about innocuous little get-togethers like this. I hate this shit.

i seem to have suddenly developed benign paroxismal positional vertigo. i woke up and rolled over and got the spins, and now when i lay down on my left side i get all spinny for 15 seconds. it's weird as hell.

Two days left until work ends for the year and I worry that I won't have the courage to tell my crush how I feel. I have bought her an expensive design book as a christmas gift though; I wonder if that's enough of a subtle hint.

fake edit: I'm going to her place for a bbq gathering on saturday so I kinda don't want things to be awkward if I tell her today or tomorrow aargh

Haven't done any obligatory X-mas shopping yet, and have no idea what to get for anyone.

Also, it seems like more and more idiots are cropping up on the internet like jack rabbit pups, especially on major sites like [ f], YouTube, Reddit, etc. WATMM seems like the most intelligent place on the internet these days.

Pray for me.
