Isolated Blurt Thread

As we librarians have long known, patience and perseverence are key. Good job! Now, just believe that she already likes you and be yourself.

I think other people have had more of a problem with it than I have, I am always myself

Blurt:

There have been so may police cars out on the roads the last few days, and yes I still see people driving faster than I would have when I was in my twenties.

It is an absolute truth that there are always going to be some people who are never going to be happy in any human organization ( all of which are, by definition, hierarchical ). Hierarchical organization is the rule in every human endeavor, be it politics, business, religion or the academy. While degrees may differ, the principle is fact.

Some understand and accept that fact and recognize that social independence has a cost ( as well as risks and potential benefits ). The choice is yours ( it's called "freedom" ). Like it or not, homo sapiens is a social animal and that ain't gonna change anytime soon.

The choice to be part of a human social organization carries with it both explicit and implicit social contracts. It is not freedom; it is a bargain. It carries with it compromise, responsibility and a requirement that one follow the dictates of the organization— that's why they pay you. As a rule, human social organizations are not organized along democratic ( small "d" ) lines and do not ( and never have and never will ) operate as democracies ( small "d"). Only juveniles recently seduced by the falsehoods of the academy, the truly naive and wishful thinkers think otherwise. The world doesn't function well if it has to stop and vote every time a decision needs to be made. The continuous whining of those whose childish desires conflict with the reality of the world is both boring and tiresome. Alright already— you think the world fucked you up the ass and owes you something and everything would be much better if the rest of us acknowledged you as Führer— we got that the first time— the 16,245 sniveling, narcissistic repetitions that followed are redundant.

I overheated pretty good at kung fu class tonight, but I still got through most of what I wanted to. I am almost proud of myself. Almost.

 

[Katyusha]

I want to shoot that woman. I seriously want to shoot her.

And I'm so tempted to get on that website and buy all that uber-sparkly eyeshadow I saw...and then go over to Walgreens and buy all that really cool nail polish I saw...

*yawns*
And I'm still awake for some reason.

School's out for half term.

To celebrate, local kids tried to burn down a beach hut last night.

During this half-term week it is expected that at least four UK schools will be the subject of serious arson attacks - by their own pupils.

Why?

Og

 

[CarolinaHeat]

wtf is with all the rain???
it's never like this.

 

[JagFarlane]

Phew ok...

Step 1: Wash car really good - Check
Step 2: Clay bar car twice - Check
Step 3: "Ultimate compound" - on hold until sun hides behind trees
Step 4: Apply layer of good wax - Awaiting Step 3 completion

Oi my back already hurts...but damn the paints already feeling ever so much smoother and looking much shinier.

 

[togitc]

Day two of back injury.

 

[JagFarlane]

Steps 3 and 4 complete. Ugh that was a pain in the ass [and neck, shoulders, and back] but God the car looks ever so much better.

 

[Nirvanadragones]

Why the fuck are they doing fireworks in May?

 

[andy_charles]

I have got a shit mad week at work coming up, and today was my day off, so I planned to lay in bed this morning. What happens? I wake up at quarter past fucking six in the fucking morning!

 

[feeeriek]

Why the fuck are they doing fireworks in May?

[JagFarlane]

Memorial Day weekend?

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Memorial Day weekend?

I don't think Vana is living in the USA right now.

UFC 98 was very entertaining, even though only one out of three of the fighters I was routing for actually won.

We read a passage from Switch to a packed room at Balticon tonight.

I appreciate Lit feedback and reviews and awards... and I certainly appreciate royalty checks.

But there is something very fucking cool about a roomful of people reacting to something you wrote in the way you intended for them to react.

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

I can't believe my Internet is still down. I have no idea what my iPhone is connected to, but I ain't complaining! It meant at least being able to talk to misty yesterday.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Ok, so now I am getting ignored after the third reply...

Seriously, what do I have to do to keep someone's interest for more than a couple days?

 

[JagFarlane]

I don't think Vana is living in the USA right now.

.

wasn't sure thus why I asked. Perhaps they're Americans celebrating?

 

[The_Darkness]

I feel like such a fucking scumbag right now. I was with the kids at the park and there were these redheaded twins running around...I seriously doubt they were older than 14. But I looked anyway.

Dirty, gross, scumbag. I'm actually disgusted with myself right now.

There are all sorts of things to say here, but, looking is human isn't it?

Touching makes you the fucking scumbag.

Kind of the principle of the thing. I looked at them recognized that they were WAY underage and then didn't stop looking.

Yeah, I know you well enough to figure that out.

 

[Katyusha]

Bah. I blew $12 on nail polish like I swore I wasn't going to.
