Pointless Announcements

quantitative morphometrics project due tomorrow. less than 1/6 finished.
fuck me.

FUUUUUUU we just got assigned into groups in my MA programme and the smelly guy will be in my group. And my only colleague from the undergrad years is in the other group. Hah. I hope we have a lot of common classes though

I bet it will be packed, have you booked?
My boyfriend and I went there the other day and it was a bit shit. Also it was REALLY funny, Rhys (the boyfriend) asked them for the bill about 3 times because we were trying to get to the cinema and he was getting really pissed off with them forgetting us, so when the waiter finally showed up he was grumpy and like, "Here you are, keep the change," and he jumped up and smacked his head on the massive light hanging over the table and it made this huge "BONGGGGG" noise and the waiter was smirking and I was laughing and it was awesome.
Rhys hardly ever gets in a mood but whenever he does something happens that totally undermines him, it's classic.

We can't book for only 2 people! Oh well, I guess we'll see what it's like on Friday. If it's too crowded we'll just go to the store.

I'm thinking about going to school to be a teacher.

I did too but my dad talked me out of it, because male teachers (actually all teachers) get accused of bad touch all the time and Florida in particular pays teachers crap.

Justin, I thought you hated people? How's that going to work?

Well if a female student accuses me of sexual misconduct I can just show them my gay porn collection.

I dont think that would help your case.

Justin, I want to be supportive of your choices, but I can't imagine you tolerating children.

That's why I'm going t be studying secondary education so I can teach high schoolers.

I want to be able to curse at my kids when they annoy me.

Go to Texas. You can spank them there.

I don't wanna see you wind up on the news with some anchor saying, "On Wednesday, a high school teacher was arrested for molesting one of his female students. He denied the allegations and as his defense, get this, *snicker*, was showing police his very large stash of gay and furry porn. Since when has showing signs of sexual deviance a defense against accusations of being a sexual deviant?" Then he, along with his female co-anchor, laugh it up with a bunch of "Oh gosh"s and what not.

Then Fox would include being gay at all as a form of sexual deviance, and the whole thing would cause such an uproar that even if you weren't charged, they'd have to let you go because "you weren't a good fit."

Also, you realize that teenagers are just larger children, right?

Larger children you can curse at and talk down to and who's futures you can fuck up if they give you any shit.

Was it dbdurdens "see below" email that convinced you?

Who's dbdurden?

I'm pretty sure a teacher at my high school was fired for telling an asshole student to "Shut the hell up."

Don't come to Texas!

Just got an email saying I have to give up my single room and move into another room with this crazy asian guy I know. It's gonna be so weird living with him.

Justin, you definitely cannot curse at high schoolers. It's not even acceptable in college.

My American Lit teacher cursed all the time. Mostly when she was reading stories out loud but still.

Quiet, you guys! Don't shatter Justin's dreams!

I kinda want to see how this plays out....

I hate all of you.

You hate everything except bitching and moaning and video games and cock.

Hey atleast he doesnt hate everything.

This made me laugh.

I honestly think it's a terrible idea. Sorry Justin.

You seem to hate people and have no confidence. You'll either get eaten alive, or be a total power hungry prick.
Plus, I can just see "Merlot" and any dodgy thread you've ever made coming back to bite you on your arse.

Do you even want to be a teacher, Justin? What's your degree in?

He wan't his mom to shut up is what he wants (I am thinking)

Don't let her get to you. I mean, find something to do but do it because it sounds like something you want to do.

I agree. If you're going to take the time to get a degree in something, IMO I think you should have some kind of desire or passion for it. I think you accel this way and also enjoy it. Just my opinion.

Valid points all around but it's still happening.

I didn't know Justin went to college/ had a degree.

I'm thinking about becoming a teacher, just in further education. I'm either going to teach A Level English in college or I might get a job (if I can) at one of the Welsh publishers, but that might involve an internship and to be honest I just kind of want to get on with my fucking life now. There was a time when I wanted to do a PhD or just a masters but I need to afford a holiday and a car. No more faffing around.

I don't have a degree. I'm going to school to get a degree.

I'm thinking of starting a new identity (forged doc specialist needed) and just going to school to be a biologist, so I can have crazy Michael Crichton-esque adventures.

Today someone told me I was a perfect "natural born reader". That was without having access to any of the myriad of places online where I've used the tagline for almost 5 years now.

Or so you assume...

Haha.. I guess..

I like you people. I was explaining to a friend about The Cult, and the core members. I also had crazy dreams the past few nights. I fought lincoln and Washington, had a pet squirrel that talked and was having tea with God.

I'm going to a meet up with other Mums in my area today. I'm looking forward to it.

Okay.

Today I also kinda explained mum a bit about The Cult. She kept asking whether I'm in a pen pal club.

Are you taking Lucy, Sarah?

Wow i messed up some BP samples so we have to rerun them but there isn't much original material left so it may not work out. It turns out these are really important samples from a spill somewhere so that's not good either. Well maybe if you're one of those green nerds, then it's good for you i guess. I'll see how it turns out.

Playgroups/mom get togethers are fun and a good way to get some comic relief when your kids are little. I met my neighbor around the corner at our local playgroup five years ago, when Lily and her daughter were two and she had just moved here from another state, and we are very very close now. She is my main confidant and could blackmail the hell out of me worse than any of you even. And the girls are growing up together. So have fun, you might meet a future best friend even!

The above said, I do not talk about the cult or any of you with anyone. Including the above person. The only people that know of any of you or here are those that do or have lived with me. But then I am stupid private about myself and life in real life. It is always funny to me when one of you says you talk about the cult, because I am so opposite. Maybe it is just possessiveness. You are all mine. I don't have to share if I don't want. And I don't want.

James has asked me to write his bio for his company website, and it is due tomorrow. I usually only edit things for him, not write them from scratch. I don't know where to start.

Only a few folks know I post on this site. This is the only forum thing outside of facebook I use. I tell Xia some of the funny stories that have floated around. I tell her about some of the sad crazy things I hear. But she is the only one. She calls you guys my support group.

I'd be really nervous to meet any of you I think, with how much you know about me. But then it might be a relief too, I wouldn't have to say much, you all already know so much more than 95% of the people I ever encounter.

How the Fuck do I start this Bio???

I think I have to go read all the other ones to get an idea.

Yep, I'm taking her. She loves the other babies.

Bloke was so freaked out when I first joined here and started making friends. I don't talk to him about it now. But he's much more relaxed about me sending and getting mail from you guys. My Mum looked at me funny when I got mail from Romania. I just say that I'm on a forum.

I don't think my mum knows what a forum is. I just said it's a group for people who like to read.
