Thufir's Thupremely Thatithfying Thecond Random Banter With a Lithp #170

[LaZodiac]

ION: Guys. Guys. Guys. Guys. Guys. Guys.

I'm in California!

I spent the night at my brother's apartment room. Got to sleep at 1:00, because it took so long to get to the place. We woke up at seven and headed over to my parents, and got lost in San Francisco for a few hours.

Sounds like fun

[CurlyKitGirl]

Because now I'm curious about what it is that has sparked your vindictiveness. Also, I need something to facepalm at. I've had some this morning, but my quota still has room for more.

The general realisation that, over the course of the past month, the universe and all its inhabitants have been out to get me, seeing me as little more than a localised whipping boy, infusing me with a general malaise towards all things animate, inanimate, existing and only theoretically supposed to exist, and all things in between, leaving me naught but a frustrated malcontent whose actions and emotions are ultimately rendered impotent in the overall scheme of things.
More precisely I've had one idiot online sending me messages along the lines of "Iouhn Iacoub Iinglehimer Schmit
his name is my name touou. That's how you want everyone to spell it right"
and
"Youur insistence oun British spelling is really annouying. Dou youu nouw see houw irritating this is?"
leading me to hate incompetent trolls more than usual.
Then there was the incident with the drunken stoner at the kebab van last night . . .
I fight dirty. People know this now.
And in general the morons down in the JCR (undergrad common room (situated directly beneath my quarters)) who insist upon playing on the Wii, and playing Mario Kart, and some form of Guitar Hero, and playing on the piano, and playing other instrument, and being drunk, and playing ping pong and singing until three o'clock in the morning nearly every single night this past month.
Oh, and picking on the college cat, whom I've come to rather adore recently on account of missing my own Demon Cat. I'm planning on enticing the Cat up into my rooms for a cuddle later on.
This is on top of: two weeks of computer troubles - mostly serious; three weeks of various illnesses - none serious; being overworked and yet still fitting in much time with friends and, of course, trying to resist the urge to murder everyone around me in various inventive, or at least violent ways.
I now cannot go anywhere in my quarters with the ever-persistent echo of the on-off noise a Wii makes, the whispering refrains of out-of-tune piano and the sirens from Silent Hill in my ears.
I have either gone insane or developed tinnitus this past month.
I do not sleep well if I hear noises.
My patience is at its very tether.
Murder is looking indescribably attractive right now.

My grip on reality is growing evermore tenous and I spend all my time reading webcomics and writing incomprehensible harangues on my computer instead of, say, socialising. In other words: I couldn't be doing better.

Sounds much like my life, minus the above, plus including enticing my girl to the pictures to see the Tintin film. So much talent . . .

So, I was taking a stroll through the internet, and what do I find?

Warning, Harry Potter fans, you may implode from the awesome.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT AND WHY DO I RECOGNISE SOME OF THOSE POSES BUT NOTHING ELSE?! Aside from the vaguest of vague ideas about the identity of the characters portrayed within. Snape made me snerk.

[Thufir]

I hate people harassing me.
Anywhere.
I've been lenient, but next time it happens, I will deal with it.
And when I deal with things there are repercussions.
When I deal with things they stay dealt.
My vengeance will not be swift, it will be drawn out, prolonged, extended, dare I say, even protracted. It will not be silent - for the most part - but it will be untraceable, rather like the deeds of a particularly cunning fox.
I am a firm subscriber to that ancient Klingon proverb about revenge after all, and as a nerd, a female, a teenager, and a rather vindictive older sibling I shall bring the full weight of my somewhat nimble intellect down upon those who dare even think to harm me or mine in any way, shape or form.
And I happen to be versed in medieval history too . . .

Yes. I am a little annoyed, why do you raise your eyebrow like that?

I'm not raising an eyebrow! I wasn't doing anything that might provoke you!
Please don't hurt me.

(In all seriousness, times like this I am a bit intimidated and really don't want to bother you in any way)

ION:
Yo. Wassup? Ugh, that hurt to even think, let alone write.

G&S. As always. Also party the weekend just gone. Also also my sleep pattern remains ridiculous and terrible. What's new with you?

Edit because you ninja'd me: Ouch. I'd be pretty mad about that as well.
...I'd offer to help exact your revenge, but I suspect you're more dangerous than I am.

[AtlanteanTroll]

...





Please tell me you don't mean that.

I wouldn't ever do it, but it would be pretty funny. Schadenfreude being what it is. Heh. Had a fun talk about that in Biology.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT AND WHY DO I RECOGNISE SOME OF THOSE POSES BUT NOTHING ELSE?! Aside from the vaguest of vague ideas about the identity of the characters portrayed within. Snape made me snerk.

Because you aren't into Anime and Manga? I can name them all, and really the only complaint I have with the picture is that Harry, Ron, and Hermione look too young.

*Illegal Abuse*

I'd forward those emails to your headmisstress or something. That is considered bullying and, unless schooling has somehow changed drasticly in my time, that's considered wrong. If anything they'll get a stern talking to, maybe stop. Best case scenario they get expelled and die.

As you can see I have no respect for people acting that rude

Firstly and less importantly, universities don't exactly have headmistresses.
(Sidenote: Initially typo'd 'headmistress' to 'meadmistress'. Now imagining a school run by a drunken Viking woman)

But more importantly, I didn't get the impression it was a fellow student.
At least I hope no-one at Oxford University is that stupid...

That sounds like a very awesome school.

Just remember to look on the bright side.

They aren't already run by drunken Viking women? Why am I applying to the Anglo-Saxon Norse and Celtic course at Cambridge again?

I've seen that already. Still pretty cool.

Then send it to whoever is in charge of making sure people stop being stupid, like the dean or what have you.

Which is worse Thufir, students of Oxford doing it, or TEACHERS of Oxford doing it? Because if it's not students it's teachers. No one left TO do it.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Golly, I got home from school, passed out and slept until 8 o'clock. I need to stop sleeping so much.

ION: I might not get that job after all. But I might be going to New York.

"One idiot online" kind of implies the idiot has been encountered solely online and is not an Oxford person. If they were, the sentence would more likely be phrased "One idiot has been sending me messages online," etc.
Also, complaining about British spelling. Yeah, foreigners can go to Oxford as well, but why would someone who finds British spelling annoying even consider going to Oxford?

[Mutant Sheep]

ION: I might not get that job after all. But I might be going to New York.

Aw.
Going to NY for the same reason as mentioned once before?
Though it was mentioned, like, months ago. OWS?

Senior trip. I'm excited.

Or sleep at a more reasonable time.

What do you want more? A break or your banjo?

What Cobalt said, essentialy. I'm not all that smart when it comes to how universities work, but I'm sure atleast some of those people are in simply because they bought there way in, or they got in by luck. Ie, stupid undeserving Peons that Curly will likely smash under her boot.

But what I meant is that, the way it is written sorta implies that the online person taunting her is from her local area. I'm probably wrong.

[Cobalt]

Senior trip. I'm excited.

Certainly so!

I hear unfortunate rumors that senior trips will be canceled at my own school district before the start of next year, though, so I have a sad premonition in that regard. Though they are just rumors, likely started by paranoid freshmen during my own freshman year. Seemed so far off then~
Though I do seem to recall them previously telling the junior classes where the trip would be headed their senior year, so hrm. Makes me sorta iffy on how I should interpret the situation. Massive budget cuts are a shame, yeah? Though they still find the funds here to renovate where there needs to be no renovation. But that is a tangent unrelated.

When is it scheduled for you?

Or sleep at a more reasonable time.

Bah!

What do you want more? A break or your banjo?

Banjo!
Wait, both!

But what I meant is that, the way it is written sorta implies that the online person taunting her is from her local area. I'm probably wrong.

Idiots are idiots, local or otherwise!

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Wait, the school organizes your grad trips?
Huh. We have to organize any trip we want to do.

[Tragic_Comedian]

What do you want more? A break or your banjo?

Well, it's almost Christmas. I can just ask for a new banjo. No need to get a job.

When is it scheduled for you?

April.

Wait, the school organizes your grad trips?
Huh. We have to organize any trip we want to do.

It's not a graduation trip.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

It's not a graduation trip.

Huh. Well, my school is too poor to do anything anyways.

[Amiel]

Sadly so.

[Feytalist]

Sounds like an entry from Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary.

But I just checked, and it isn't.

His version of Humanity is basicallly "everyone, except for all the poets". Heh.

[factotum]

I do not sleep well if I hear noises.

Any noises, or specific ones? I find some noises (like a fan heater running on fan-only mode) to be quite restful--if you're the same, you might try to generate your own noise to concentrate on that covers over what's happening in the room beneath you.

If that's no good, I've got nothin', sorry--although I don't remember things being as bad as that when I went to university!

Is the education system in America really that corrupt? Pretty sure you can't buy your way into uni here. Especially not Oxbridge - as the two most prestigious universities in the country, and easily in the top ten worldwide, they'd have to be squeaky clean.

[Feytalist]

Having connections in the registrar's office or dean's office is a valid tactic on the other hand

Not that I would know anything about that, of course.

*Cough*

[LaZodiac]

As far as I know it is. It could also be a situation like in Canada, where they is an easy as pie scolarship to get in and no one has bothered running for it.

In the end, even if it's some fancy man from Oxford does not make it impossible for them to be jerks. One would argue that since they are so haughty taughty that they are MORE jerky.

In that case, I sincerely hope that I'm only a thought experiment from your side.

More precisely I've had one idiot online sending me messages along the lines of "Iouhn Iacoub Iinglehimer Schmit
his name is my name touou. That's how you want everyone to spell it right"
and
"Youur insistence oun British spelling is really annouying. Dou youu nouw see houw irritating this is?"
leading me to hate incompetent trolls more than usual.

Ohh, that is just asking for counter-trolling:
"It haz been broght to my underztanding that yo hose a zignificant hatered toward the orginial Britizh zpelling that I uzually prefere to uze. In an act of utmozt conzideration, I promize to utterly ignore you for the rezt of yor pitiful exiztence, starting now."

...or, how about this against the first :
"I can't for my life understand what your problem with that spelling is. I mean, you're whole world seems to revolve around that single letter, does it not?"

Now, I've understood that you prefere the more direct approach (right?), but I find the whole idea of trolling a troll to be a particularily interesting thought experiment to play with on my free time, whenever the oportunity presents itself.

I fight dirty. People know this now.

But the most important question still stands, do you fight victoriously?

Sounds much like my life, minus the above, plus including enticing my girl to the pictures to see the Tintin film. So much talent . . .

...
*blinks forcefully*
...
*blinks again*
...nope, the precise meaning of this sentence keeps eluding me, as if it was written on the surface of storming water.
In water.
But then, I'm rather tired, so there are plenty of irrelevant excuses ready, should the need arise.

Did you see the Tintin movie or not? I've heard that it's quite good, but royally confusing for anyone who knows their Tintin. How many extra books did they jam into the original storyline now again? 1? 2?

ION:
It's somewhat worrying when my lecturer says "Our task is to preoccupy you for 40 hours a week", whereafter they proceed to give us a week with less than 10 hours of combined schoolwork and homework. It makes me fear what is about to come...

IOON:
The amount of Homestuck fanart on DeviantArt for this past week seems to be on par with the amount of MLP FiM fanart for the same amount of time. And why can't I stop browsing? I've got irrelevant coding projects to work on, goddammit!
