Title: Hey wow, a blog thread.
Post by: ThePQ4 on 10 Apr 2008, 10:46
This is what went down in mine, in a nice 4 minute YouTube Video: Westboro Church Protests At Stout, Students React (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tiMBq0eelI), and here's a longer video, for those interested (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ls8gnmXqSU)

What is kind of awesome is that there were like 300 some students there and 6(!!) Westboro protesters, allegedly (I avoided this, but it was hard to ignore seeing as how this was all taking place outside of my building). Obviously, Stout doesn't take shit from no one.

I wasn't pleased to hear "GO HOME GO HOME" shouted from outside of my window this morning at 7:45 though... But it was worth it to see a guy running past me in a "Love Everyone, RIP Scott A. Ham" sandwichboard tell me and my roomie "It's too cold to protest!".

...So, anything exciting happening elsewhere in the world?

We had a 'Wellness Presentation' at work, about eating healthy.  We also ordered in pizza which we all ate during the presentation.  It was basically a scene from The Office.

My collie dog, Lucy, broke a leg.  The surgeon who repaired it says it was very complicated, as the bone was not just simply broken, but shattered into eight pieces; but he is cautiously optimistic for a satisfactory recovery, though only after a prolonged period of care.

I managed to get a grade from last semester upgraded to a B, thanks to prof. Culp being cool and letting me re-do an essay. Then I screwed around on the PASDA website finding aerial imagery and various shapefiles for an upcoming GIS project. Then it was off to Honors Russian Lit to discuss the existentiality of Pierre and Tolstoy's view on  historians and the philosophy of history. Then I had to meet with the modern languages secretary to get paperwork pushed through for next weekend, when I'm taking the Russian Club to Brighton Beach NYC, so it was a busy day, but a lot got accomplished. Now its off to the clinic to work, which means 8 hours of being bored.

No, still four legs.  They've fixed the ends of the bone with a pin and a plate, but haven't been able to put the fragments properly back in place.  They hope that they will merge together after a while, though.

I nursed a hangover after turning 21 yesterday. Then I went to the phone shop to replace the dud charger they gave me with my new phone, went to the market to get some tomatoes and cous cous for lunch and then sat in an hour and a quarter lesson of Philosophy in which I did nothing productive whatsover.

So not a lot, really.

Retail.

...Seriously though, I have no idea. Data entry of some kind, maybe? My sister does insurance claims adjustments and she doesn't have a degree of any kind. It depends on what kind of field you want to work in. There are lots of people here on the forums who don't have degrees but excellent jobs. You should ask some of them...I remember a chat about it earlier in the year. Someone with mad-search skills will bring it up, I'm sure.

I never said it was EASY to get retail jobs.

Robbie: No, you don't need a degree to stack books, haha. But that is usually a more volunteer capacity (at least at my local libraries). The only thing you really need a degree for, I think, is to be a director or someone who is going to be "doing the books" so to speak --budgeting, buying, salaries...you know, managerial librarianism. --My Aunt is going through all of that right now, you'd think I would be more informed? Alas, I am not.

i had a job interview today and it went pretty well. my fancy shoes always cut up my feet and make them bleed everywhere cos my feet are kind of funny shaped. i probably should get new shoes. my housemates think if i don't get this job i should take photos of my bloody feet and send them to the guy who conducted my interview. kind of like "you should have told me you were probably not going to hire me BEFORE you made me put on this stupid shoes and walk around in them, buddy."

i don't think it will work so mostly i am hoping they hire me the normal way.

i'm also real excited about doing laundry tonight. i don't think that's weird. clean clothes are awesome.

I totally agree.  If they ever protest anything here (which I doubt because I bet the mere thought of Las Vegas makes them clutch their holy crosses tighter), I will be stealing your idea.

I might put a quote box around it, too, just so people know it's not an original idea on my part.

Spring blogging is like spring cleaning, it has to be done to get all the shit out of your system for a productive summer of doing nothing but looking at webforums.

Good fucking Riddance to those WBC people, there was a protest by them at my high school a few years ago, but it didn't get nearly as much counter-protest, for one this was before they started attacking funerals and the other is because I'm sure there were a couple of dumbasses in Lubbock who silently agreed with them.

And yeah, the WBC are some pretty messed up people. While i agree with our administration that avoiding them would have been better, I'm pretty proud of our student body for standing up to them.

Seriously. Talk about infringements to civil rights, not to mention the level of mediocre software the government is probably willing to put up with. I predict we'll be left with a buggy filter full of holes that is highly abusable and will block websites of unrelated content.

Perhaps instead of making the censorship national, they should have it as a service that can be requested rather than allow it to be a blight on the rest of us. If underage kids want to get porn, they'll just end up stealing mags instead of looking at website. You know, how it used to be before the internet.

Goddamn.

And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it, huh?

I don't particularly like America, so don't take this as a jingoistic statement, but I am glad that I live in America most of the time. It just seems better than most alternatives. Way I hear it, in the UK you are getting cameras on just about every damn block, and now in Australia, they are censoring the internet?

Actually... that is just two alternatives, I suppose, but it seemed like most when I started writing this. If the draft ever got reinstated, I would probably pick one of the Scandinavian nations to run to if I couldn't get conscientious objector status.

It's not like civil liberties aren't being infringed America. In fact, it's just as bad as in Britain. Warrentless and illegal wiretapping of phones even with FISA expired, arbitrary arrest and detention (in many cases, police no longer need a warrent to enter your home, thanks to the Patriot Act), and while the internet isn't "censored," make no mistake, what you do and where you go is either monitered first-hand, or the records of those things are handed over to the government by your ISP.

Title: Re: So, What Went Down In Your World Today?

I feel like that has to be exaggerating things a little bit. Just about any time someone uses the term "make no mistake" it feels like an exaggeration.

And you're a stupid man, Angus Podgorny, if you think that's different from the previous 60 years of government monitoring of civilians. The law has always been three steps behind the actual actions of the FBI & CIA and has never made an impact in their actions no matter what the law is.
Title: Re: So, What Went Down In Your World Today?
Post by: RedLion on 11 Apr 2008, 12:24
Did I say that? No. Of course there's always been illegal monitoring.

But it was never this bald-faced, egregious and wide-ranging, even at the heights of the red scare, simply because they didn't have the technological capability to handle the mind-boggling amount of information they can get and process nowadays.
Title: Re: So, What Went Down In Your World Today?
Post by: Ozymandias on 11 Apr 2008, 12:45
I don't think that's a shift in government so much as a shift in technology. The average person can find more information about anyone anywhere these days than they could 10 years ago, way more than 20 years ago, and infinitely more than 50. Our culture of information flow is more the cause and the government is just tapping it at the source, same as it ever was.

I agree, of course. It's terrible. But it's not something that can be fought within the system, because the system either can't or won't fix it. It benefits from it when it won't, and even when idealists try to fix it, it does nothing. The only way to fix it is to fight the system. Be the person the government is looking for with their surveillance.

I am not sure how to feel about this.  My inflatable bed which I was using is leaking.  It still inflates but by morning I am basically on the cold floor.  I have enough money now to afford a decent new bed but I said yes when my parents offered to drop this one off.

It's a nice bed.  It's not old at all.  I am sure Grandpa wouldn't mind.

So I set that bed up today.

I took the ACT this morning. It sucked. But I am going exploring in the woods in a little bit!

I saw a bee.

I saw a bee today and held my cell phone up to it. Needless to say, it mutated and enslaved my town. After 6 months of working in the bees' giant honey mines, I hooked up with a man named Greg Hadley and together we lead a resistance group against the bees and retook our town.

Later, Jenny Hoffman still wouldn't go to the dance with me.

I'm cleaning my room! I want to buy a wardrobe to keep my stuff in, as it is everything is just on a freestanding clothes rack which means my suits and coats get all dusty, but this means that I'll have to rearrange my room which means cleaning it up! Which I suppose is good as I have already got two garbage bags full of clothes. One full of dirty clothes that need washing and one full of clothes that I haven't worn in over a year and should be given to Anglicare or St Vincent's or one of those charity things where you dump all your crap into the bins that homeless people live in.

Why do so many threads seem to turn into "when I die, this is how I want it to be" threads?

Anyway, getting back to the blogging, blog thread, I slept in, worked the afternoon shift, had dinner out with my boyfriend, then watched Star Trek and had sexyfuntimes until 1, at which point we went to Denny's to split an order of chicken fingers and made small talk with the night shift waitress named Maria who recognized us 'cause there aren't too many places that are open at one or two in the morning.

Which I suppose is good as I have already got two garbage bags full of clothes. One full of dirty clothes that need washing and one full of clothes that I haven't worn in over a year and should be given to Anglicare or St Vincent's or one of those charity things where you dump all your crap into the bins that homeless people live in.

I know it's probably ridiculous, but I always feel better about giving directly to thrift stores (preferably charity-centered ones, like the Autism-school-related one near me or Out of the Closet, the AIDS one) where I know the clothes will be sold and the money donated to research and equal access to medication.  Also I tend to shop at thrift stores, so by donating the nice clothes I have that I never wear, I feel like it's buying karmic insurance of a sort--if I donate my clothes, I'm sure to find something cool that I want later.

Well apart from the fact that I don't believe in karma there aren't a lot of charity based thrift stores (there are heaps of thrift stores in my neighbourhood but most of them are privately run and the proceeds don't help anyone but the owner) around here. The Smith Family is a secular charity that I'll be happy to donate my old clothes to. They don't do research into stuff but they help poor kids and disadvantaged families and stuff like that and that is good enough for me.

Made an awesome dinner (chicken filet with some spices and..erm..garlic "cheese" (meaning not really cheese, but the kind that you can spread on bread that is more of a paste) - yum!), and in about 20 minutes, I'm going downtown to watch a football match at a pub.

This technically went down on Friday when I was drunk.  Angry Short(er) Guy nearly punched me for checking out this girl's ass.  I am a 5'3" blond woman with glasses.  The weird thing was that after the girl and her friend hustled him away, her friend came back and kissed me.  Oh, and of course the other weird thing is that ASG's so controlling that nobody can look at her except him.  That was mildly terrifying.

Shit happens when you drink.  Also, don't ever lean in to hear what someone's saying to you: it places you within punching/kissing range.

Alternatively, use this fact to your advantage. One of the most memorable exchanges I've had was the time in a noisy bar when a girl actually rested her cheek against mine while leaning in to talk into my ear. I don't recall the conversation at all (I think she was saying some pleasantry about the quality of the drinks there or something) but I sure do recall the girl.

just do it like how you distribute the cards. Anytime you complete a turn having taken a territory, take a card and a shot. Any time you hand in a set of cards, take a shot. You could maybe increase the number of shots taken per successive hand-in if you feel up to it.

It's my first year as a librarian.  Thus this week is my first week experiencing the MAD DASH to pay taxes before it's too late.

There are so many people asking me how to do their taxes and I can’t tell them how because it’s against the library’s policy and I can’t be liable.  I just can’t believe there are this many people that waited this long to get started.  I mean do these people just forget every year how to do this?!?

For God's sake people!

Sounds like the latter to me, though I'm heavily inclined to believe he's exaggerating unless he was working in an EXTREMELY high traffic area or a really high end store, neither of which I'm liable to believe Patrick has done much consistent work at at his age (No offense man, but it's not exactly common). When I worked retail sales, I was one of the best sales people we had at my store and the only time I'd consistently see sales in excess of $1500 a day myself was around the holidays (Though at one job, I'd occasionally pull 1500, it'd be an occurance that happened at most six to eight times a month).

Correct. McDonald's drive-thru in a decent-size town in Alaska with a lot of poor folks, fishermen, and school-age kids.

Seeing as I just named every possible demographic in the entire state, you can see why sales ain't so bad during the summer. I only made $9 an hour though.

I found out yesterday why I never liked doing lunges. Why? Because they are the BANE OF MY EXISTENCE. They make my legs hurt and therefore make me walk funny. Damn it. (I had to do lunges before I swam in my swimming class yesterday.) But the good thing is I'm pretty sure I swam somewhere between a mile and a mile and a half yesterday morning. I felt great until I got out of the pool and realized my thighs were yelling, "Walking? Oh hell no!" The only reason I know they hurt because of lunges was because we were mostly doing upper body workouts.

I regularly make $1,500 or more (I topped $3,000 around Easter) of sales per day.  But I work at a tourist trap in a touristy place of one of the most touristy cities in the nation.

when i told a friend about this course her response only made things worse: "wow, you're taking principles of learning huh? yeah i remember that course. i've never seen so many people turn in a blank exam and walk out before."
this really sucks and i know it's pretty lame of me complaining about finals on the internet since almost every university student, ever, has to write finals and it's just sort of part of life and my situation is not that unique but i really had to get this out of my system because i am so close to losiing my mind right now it is insane. feel free to not even read this post i guess. wait no it's too late for that. oh well.

Man, I would strongly dispute that. While clinical/abnormal psychology is pretty far removed from most people's day-to-day existence, behavioral psychology is probably the most relevant of the humanities to the average person's life.

I think she might be referring to how incredibly career specific it is. And it is, luckily though I am pursuing a career in clinical psychology so hurrah!

Also I just got woken from a rather pleasent nap by a rather pleasent woman from a market research company wanting me to come in for a job interview for exactly the kind of thing I have been looking for. Hot Damn.

I went to band practice last night. We practiced for like 3 hours. I didn't realize we even had enough crap on our setlist to play for a half hour!

I am currently contemplating why every song called "Mexico" is automatically an awesome song, regardless of the artist. I've wondered why this is for about a year now, and nothing has come to mind.

Today I was exposed to lots of radiation as I got a bunch of x-rays of my teeth done because I guess I have to get stupid braces soon. There was this booth that looked like a teleport booth or a time machine or something! but later I found out that it was used to develop the x-rays. Also, the lead vest thingy I had to put on had corduroy on the underside and it felt like a nice blanket.

Also, I tried recording two songs today but failed because I live with people and I get all self-conscious about yell-singing (or just regular projected singing). :[

Edit: Okay now I have listened to Metric's first album for the first time in about two years and now I have the biggest crush on Emily Haines ever

Fuck yeah, even with my legendary procrastination, I still have managed to not only get al of the classes I needed, but I compressed them into a mere three days! Sure, I'll be in school for twelve straight hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but its worth it.

My schedule this semester is like this. I'm busy TWTh from 12-7, but I get 4-day weekends every week. There are ups and downs, obviously, but I like it. Hopefully my schedule will be similar next semester!

career specific

even though anectodes are maybe the worst source of evidence for anything, ever, i cannot count the amount of times i have walked into a retail store or restaurant and the second someone working there somehow finds out what i'm taking in school it's all "oh man, psychology! yeah, i have a degree in that" except they're making $8 an hour at old navy and man these stupid ridiculously difficult courses still really depress the hell out of me.

Well I guess there is a difference between having a degree in something and being really really good at it. That's why I'm really worried about this year. It is my second and last chance to get into proper Psychology post-graduate courses. If I fuck this year up by getting anything lower than 65% in ANYTHING than I'm going to have to figure out a second option of what to do with my life. Maybe something with animals...

Also, today, I joined a pact with two of my friends stating that we will work out at least twice a week and become bombshells in order to make lesbians jealous. Two of us (including myself) are straight, so I don't get why it's only lesbians that will be jealous, but damn it, I will work out anyways!

I'm a psych major!  Oh, and Bob Rescorla (of the Rescorla-Wagner learning model) was my undergrad adviser for a while.  Pretty cool guy actually.

See, I don't intend to do anything with my major until I'm 30.  The first half of my 20s are for doing whatever the fuck I want, the second half are for putting letters after my name so that people will listen to me when I talk about drugs, and maybe after 5 or 10 years doing research or teaching or something, post-graduate school, I can start on my life's work (which is hopefully going to be talking about, researching, and maybe lobbying for drugs).

Today I woke up, wrapped myself in a blanket, and sat down in front of a computer!  I intend to do many other things today but that was first on my list.  I think that perhaps this is not a good thing, but I will allow myself this indulgence because Wednesday is the day when I don't have any class.

Well, I mean, It's basically TuTh for me, I only have one Monday class from 5-7 for my history of film, and its a component of the normal lecture that is on TuTh. Which means its a movie night thing. So really I've got two days a week that I go to school and a mandatory weekly movie in the EMF department's lecture hall/screening room.

I'm thinking at this point anything will be better thatn the schedule I have right now. Monday Tuesday and Wednesday I have class from 1pm-10, which means I wake up late but I get home late, and I've got three 3 hour classes in that for the night class part. And then I have one class on Thursdays, and let's just say its annoying as hell to get as much time in the library as I do, with all the fucking gaps I scheduled in without truly knowing the consequences.

And, it's not really worth it when you're underage, either. The penalties for getting caught far outweigh the fun you have while you're drinking. The age limit is kind of dumb, but it's not really something worth getting all upset about. I'm glad you've realized that. That makes you cool.

From what I can tell, though, you have to be pretty damn stupid to get caught, I have one friend that did get caught, he was drinking on a school lunch break when they were just barely off-campus and a teacher pulled up next to their car.

Of course, depending on the state, you can drink with parental permission, and all of them have a religious exception to the age, since it is rather unlikely that an eight-year-old is going to get drunk off his ass on sacramental wine.

For sure you have to be pretty stupid, but if there's one thing that alcohol is good at doing, it's making people stupid. My brother and sister are both still in high school (underage) and they are constantly telling me stories about classmates that were caught throwing a party or whatever. Also, here, there is a social host rule where if there are underage drinkers the owners of the house, whether they are present or not, are also charged. It's a controversial issue, to be sure, but I kind of like it. It keeps those pesky kids out of trouble.

I had a good look at the encyclopaedia and copy of Henry Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body  I got from late grandfather.

Today, I have been freezing by butt off in this stupid building instead of going outside to enjoy the sunshine. I can't go outside now until after 5. :( And yesterday I took a lot of pictures and bought my cap and tassel. I am still disappointed that my department's tassel color is brown. (BROWN for the ARTISTIC PEOPLE. Wtf, college.)

Also, yesterday while driving home, some guy yelled in my car window as we passed him, because he was standing in the street about 10ft away from a crosswalk. I told him to use said crosswalk as we kept driving. (This was during rush hour on a busy street, mind you.) Then, in a strip mall parking lot, I was walking across the "street" from my car to the pet store and some lady that had previously been about 15-20 ft. away from where I was crossing sped up so she could stop inches away from me and honk while making rude gestures. As I had a pulled muscle in my leg and had the right of way anyways, I stopped, gave her epic scowl-age, called her a bitch, and slowly finished walking to the sidewalk. I am tempted to find these two people and write them a pamphlet on How Not the Be Stupid.

Anyway, today I used my prize money, from the writing competition I won, to buy books of a questionable nature.

I kinda wish some guy would hit on me again. It's exciting.  I think when I'm ready to quit my job, I might just take up some guy on their offer and go back to their room with them ( I work at a hotel) and if I get fired for it, so be it.

That would be a hell of a way to go.

Today I became a grownup and accepted a job offer*!  I even set a start date that allows me to take a two week vacation to Hawai'i!  The whole world celebrates with me!  The sun shines!  The birds sing!  The trees are in fragrant bloom!

I'm just a little excited.  I now plan to get lightly to moderately drunk.


*A good one!


Dear blog,
today i read that post and lol'd all over the place.
now my lip is hiving up, and i am about to brush my mouth and make sloppy kisses with a boy eventually.
life is great, except for a few dumb pretentious indie kids in my life.

Dear Blog Thread,

Today I was rude to someone on the metro.  In my defense, it is not nice to stare suspiciously at someone merely because he is brown and rocks a beard.

Dear Thread,

 Today i finished my Advanced higher physics investigation and drank far to much tea, i am now slightly jittery but happy with the fact that i don't have to worry about investigations anymore. I am also away to book flights to Amsterdam for the summer. Over all its been a good day apart from the fact that aol can fuck of and suck my balls because it can sense that the wireless internets are all around it BUT IT CANT FUCKING CONNECT YOU STUPID FUCKING RETARDED AOL.

Dear Blog Thread...

Last night, I did what I thought I would never do...

That's right.

I did it at work...I was off the clock but I could SO get fired for it. And there was a witness. Not to the act, but to the guy walking me to my room to 'protect' me from his drunk friend.


He says he'll call, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

Still, I feel strangely liberated. I think the healing from my broken, done relationship with my baby's daddy is about to begin.




P.S. YAY GSP AND RICH FRANKLIN WHOO HOO

I know the feeling, and yeah, that definitely sucks. I'd write something to cheer you up, but I'm not sure what, because I know exactly how utterly crappy it feels.


Today I vacuumed and cleaned my dorm room, which was good, but then I spent the rest of the day not doing anything at all, so blah. Stupid Sunday without the "right" football match.

Speaking of the "right" football match:

I called a pub in Cambridge on Wednesday to make sure they'd be showing Man United this weekend. They told me the game was Sunday at 11 AM.

I show up early to watch the second half of Newcastle-Sunderland (2-0), and eat breakfast, only to be told United played YESTERDAY and drew 1-1. Manchester CITY were on today.

Re: Today's activities

Today I sat in the bookstore for 2.5 hours and read another 100 pages of the book I refuse to buy for class. If I can keep this up, I may never buy another book for school.
