I still don't get how twat is sexist when you can be called a dick, knob or any other variation on men's genitalia and it's not even offensive anymore, really. And twat is also one of the best words to say! Twat twat twat hee hee.

Dear Blog Thread,

There have been a few posts here and there about how sometimes people see dopplegangers of forum people around and about. It seems that my special ability is seeing older versions of forumites. I've seen old Hannah and old Jon and now today I saw old May. So I guess if you want to know how you will age, hang out with me for a while?

Also hang out with me for sexy funtimes.

From what I can recall it's mostly the complaint that being referred to as female genitalia is insulting across genders whereas referring to a woman as a "dick" is really kind of nonsensical. "Twat" is essentially used in the same ways as "dick" or "cock", usually indicating an aggressive / rude / ignorant person. Other vaginal terms are usually meant to indicate weakness. "Cunt" is generally considered a harsher word but it's got the same meaning, although it's usually aimed more at females than males. Beyond that being a dick or a twat is not really looked down upon as much as being a pussy is. It's almost taken on more descriptive than disparaging.

Dear BeoPuppy first of all I'd be more offended by a sexist insult if you were interesting at all. Second, obviously it wasn't neglect when I took the fucker into the vet to figure out what was wrong with him- there wasn't anything wrong with him until he escaped his cage and I thought he got into something poisonous. Turns out his pee is poison to him! According to the vet I did everything right, the only reason he even got sick is because of his great escape which strained him, which made him more sensitive to it.
[...]

Interesting enough to need a reaction, apparently.

And according to your own words you didn't clean its cage for a month. And that is neglect.

I don't really know what a heel and toe downshift is but basically it is the most fun ever when you get stuck behind someone going slow to downshift, switch lanes and NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR pass em on the inside

Stick it out. You'll find some cool people, really. You decided to go to this school, so it stands to reason that some people like you would decide the same thing.

Also, why not just cut the drinking and the drugs down? It'll give you some time to sort some things out, and it'll probably cut through all the crap of other people. Drama gets involved like crazy when booze and drugs show up. There has been many a morning for me spent running through the previous night's events thinking the whole time, "Did I really say that? Aw crap."

Caleb · « **Reply #2180 on:** 18 Sep 2009, 09:09 »

AllyBee - Take a few weeks off from the drinkin' and other stuff. Focus on your school work and finding something you really like doing. Like when I was in college I got involved with the college TV station and I met a a lot of really cool people. I think a lot of people eventually get to the point of frustration with "college life" sometimes.

Blog Thread,

Hey BT! I can't believe you are still around! Here is some blog scattershot about last week!

I have set up a sweet display for banned books week. I am considering if anyone would want to see some really old horror films in the library's auditorium for Halloween.

There were some pretty neat fireworks for the Battle of Plattsburgh event last weekend. I was sitting in a spot very close to where they were setting off the fireworks. They were so bright they made my eyes water up.

I was invited to the event by a co-worker who wanted to see the fireworks but couldn't go because she didn't have anyone to go with her. I always thought that she was a little too young to hang out with because I am 28 and she is like 21 but I found out she is going out with some 30 year old dude.

I got really sick on Monday and Tuesday so I laid in bed and read the first three Death Gate novels. Fantasy fiction will always be my weakness.

Patrick · « **Reply #2183 on:** 18 Sep 2009, 17:54 »

I'm only on my work break so I will keep this short, but the tl;dr will be "I am alive, and how!"

So I arrived in Sitka on the 17th of July. The 18th of July, I saw an old friend of mine, Becca. We've both had the hots for each other since my first season here, but we've never been available at the same time. That hadn't changed, she was seeing a guy named Phil, who is also a decent pal of mine. On the 19th, we boned. They broke up three weeks and three 12-packs of rubbers later.

Let's see. I may wind up appearing in a Frommer's tour guidebook for Sitka. I went over to jam with my buddy Hank, who is relatively famous as Sitkans go, and the Frommer's photographer was there snapping away like nothing else. That same day Hank wound up asking me if I'd replace his guitarist for his Christmas gig. Last week he asked me if I'd play for a Rotary charity fundraiser. I'm pretty pleased.

Uhhhh what else? My stepbrother gets married on the 26th, I leave for California on the 24th. Unfortunately I won't have time to visit anybody (Sorry Yelleyjason and Chris!) but whatever, it'll be cool.

My mom wound up visiting town a few weeks ago. She met Becca, and then promptly went to the old closed-down Sheldon Jackson College campus and opened up some girl-salmon and got their eggs so that they could artificially spawn moar salmonz. My mom has no idea what "doing normal shit" is I guess.

Oh and I got my paycheck from February right after I got my last paycheck, so I just bought a new guitar. And by "new" I mean "30 years old". Yay!

Love,
ME WHOOOO!

P.S. I will have internet at home within the week.

Dear Blaggysphere,

I saw Built to Spill twice in the last two days. The concert tonight was free in a park, and the crowed was pretty bad. The bar last night with them was excellent. Anyway, like a good son I took my mother to the BTS concert tonight. It's been like 25 years since the last rock concert shes been to. Some girl lit a joint behind her and some drunk hippie slammed into her and I had to elbow him away, which on the whole was fairly amusing to me. When did it become okay to mosh, crowd surf, stage dive, and storm the stage to dance on at an indie rock show? That aside, it was epic and awesome.

So guys. I am back at college. New dorm bigger room. Still 100 miles away from the girl, which is not cool at all and she is having a pretty difficult time going through the separation for a second year. I'm hoping since this year she can come see me as well as me going down there we can make things easier. That is, if the new roommate who I've never met is chill with sleepovers.

Also, of more immediate interest, I work 6am-6pm shifts for the weekend. That's right, it's dorm move-in season, time for all the over-aggressive parents to yell at parking people for trying to impose order on chaos!

Going home from work catching a late bus out to my parents house, and all of a sudden I heard this "look at THIS motherFUCKER here"

I turn around and lo and behold it is my old work mate and absolute bestie in terms of sheer drinking and shit talkin' who has to get on the same bus to get back to her house. We get on the bus and get to talking and decide eventually we should go back to her place and get shit faced and basically be rad dudes

wound up making ghetto margaritas, punching cones and smoking ciggies on the porch just talkin'. The phrase "just like old times" was thrown around like there was no tomorrow and eventually I wound up passed out on her couch halfway through a sentence running off my mouth about evolutionary psychology or something.
