For those of you who like the anime series Samurai Champloo, check out geekgirl Silvrethorn's latest story. I laughed hysterical (or maybe that was just my brain oozing out from making up my first exam this semester). The Jin/Mugen hate-hate relationship has never been funnier.

A note to Self -Real Life - Dear Dummy, when you're struggling to get your junk into the apartment and get the door shut and you know the outdoor cats are on your porch, CHECK to make sure Roy remains outside or he'll pop out of your bedroom and give you a stroke like he did today.

A note to Self- Writing - Pronouns are not for all occasions. When you have three male characters in a scene and you refer to them all as 'he' NO ONE will know what the hell you're talking about. And you, Hyperion's Son, yes I will get your next chapter done tonight but you must learn that you are not a script and some form of description is needed.

A note to Students - It's okay to not like the Steelers. It's okay for you to be upset when your team didn't make the Superbowl. It is NOT okay to overhear your PROFESSOR saying she was excited that the Steelers were going to the Superbowl and make, not a comment about the team which she could handle, but to actually demean her intelligence for being a Steeler fan loudly in front of the whole class. I know your name. We're just starting the semester. A lesson in respect might be in order.

Silvrethorn is evil, which is why I love her so. *laugh*

Pronouns are not always your friend. Remember that.

Roy is Evil but he's a Boy Kitty and we know what they're like.

Students should be reprimanded with flamethrowers. Yeah, flamethrowers. Or a snap of your finger. *nods*

That is true about Silvrethorn

But my brain thinks pronouns are de bomb

Yes Boy Kitties are their own special brand of evil

Flamethrower works for me

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I need to see if she's willing to read Marking Time to check for flow.

Pronouns are not always da bomb, sometimes they're da fizzle.

Boy Kitties are Bad.

Flamethrowers. /homer simpson gargle

Yes maybe she's no longer insane from the holidays.

Since flamethrowers are impractical, I'll just go with testing them into oblivion

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I hope. I'm missing her witty reparte.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yep

Does that mean they'll appreciate you demeaning their intelligence when they bomb your first test? :)

There's something inherently snicker-worthy of the sentence "or he'll pop out of your bedroom and give you a stroke." Especially when it took me 5 minutes to realize which kind of stroke you were talking about. [laugh]

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

snort NOT that kind of stroke.

and I'm sure he'll really appreciate it if his intelligence becomes evidence next week come test time

YOU GO SCULLEY!

I hate students like that. All my classes are filled with them, and it makes it SO HARD to focus.
What you should do is;
A) Tell them to shut up, and if they can't stand loseing, and or, respecting other peoples opinions to the point where they must force their's on other people they should go back to preschool where they belong. And it would be for the better of the class if they did because the class might accualy stop smelling like human feicies and dirty dipers.
(if you use this i would appriciat that i was credited with this. and please tell him that he was just burned by a 14 year old who is 50 points higher on the I.Q. scale then he is)
.......... that was one of my better smokes. I deal with people like this all the time, i feel your pain. (i'm a bit of a minoraty when it comes to political oppinions of my age groop, and people who're anti bush are constently malling me because i support our country in the war)
B) If that doesn't work, tell him to shut up and grow up, either one would be nice, and both would be grand.
and remind him that he is in collage.
C) and if that doesn't work, ill lend you my bazooka.

at the moment I'll settle for the glare and maybe he'll realize I'm the one with power in the room and he'll need to respect it

Re: YOU GO SCULLEY!

[ryuu-artist.livejournal.com]

....... I hope so, but i highly dought it. People like that tend to be as stuborn and dumb as an ass.

Re: YOU GO SCULLEY!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

there is that.

Re: YOU GO SCULLEY!

[ryuu-artist.livejournal.com]

It's one thing to be smart and stuborn (which is understandable) but to be dumb and stuborn is worse. I say just keep em all on a ranch, and use them like cows, for entertainment.

Re: YOU GO SCULLEY!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i have plenty of dumb and stubborn sadly

Re: YOU GO SCULLEY!

[ryuu-artist.livejournal.com]

I think there are to many of those types of people now of days, people that are to arogent to relize that the previos generations might have something to teach them if they would just shut up and listen they might accualy do everyone (includeing themselves) some good and learn something.

Re: YOU GO SCULLEY!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

after the testing, at least a quarter of them stopped showing up. I'll be getting the drop forms soon enough. Others are taking the time to come to my office and work wiht me. All hope is not lost but it IS strained

Re: YOU GO SCULLEY!

[ryuu-artist.livejournal.com]

Well power to the ones who are at least smart enough, and have the work ethic to come in and get help from you. And well, god help the ones who drop out.
