Rant, Moan and Rave - 2010 edition
My mind was blown today. Turns out that attending uni in the UK is FREE
fffffffuck you. I have to pay 1500 in tuition, not counting book fees (and fuckin' photoshop since my TOTALLY LEGAL copy "expired"). I'm so broke I've actually taken a second job: art model.
i hope i don't have to get naked : (
Since when was uni free in the UK? there may be loans a plenty but grants were stopped in the early ninties and nowadays the average studant racks up about £10k worth of debts. which they don't have to pay back until they earn in excess of £17k a year but that really isn't that tough these days.
Doing a master or whatever racks up the cost too.

What, really? That's not what my uni colleagues told me, they said the higher degrees you pay for but the basic degree was paid for by the local authority or something. Maybe it's been too long since they've gone themselves. They didn't say anything about loans.
Fine, mind unblown. :I
So my feelings right now are a whirlwind of 'fuck fuck fuck that was totally illegal what the hell did i just dooo >_<'. Crap that was stupid…
I set up my class to have an hour and a half break between the next…problem is i did this when my laptop wasn't dead and now i'm stuck on the library computers. GERRRRRMSS
Well, I've been debating on a treat for myself for a while. It has been between a Nook and Photoshop CS5 all summer. But, now that I realized that I have two boxes full of books for my move (and many more still at my parent's house) I'm going to have to go with the Nook for a major inventory reduction. I was really looking forward to getting Photoshop again, but I think I can still hold out a little longer. I just have to purchase it by next December (when my student discount expires).

Whoa wait what? What did you do that was illegal?

Library computers are the worst. At least the ones in all my tech classes are nice and brand new, but the actual labs and library have these outdated pieces of garbage that look disgusting, run slow, and are generally unsafe to put your information through. Hope your laptop gets undeaded soon.

…I'm not sure why but I just about laughed my dick off at thisThere goes your job as male nude model
"I know why I laughed my own dick off at this."
Well my allergy pills are still failing, I've gotten writer's block once again, I STILL cannot color my presentation, I go back to school on the 30th, and I finally watched Harry Potter 6. Not for the first time but I did reread every book for something.
Good news!
GOT MY JOB BACK!
So I was called yesterday at around… 3pm I think… with a question whether I'm still interested in working there. I said yes. They told that they'll call me back within a week about a doctor's appointment (you can't be hired without a medical checkup which is theoretically valid for two years, but if you're jobless for over a month, you need to repeat it). Well, guess what… two hours later I get a second call asking me whether I can come to work TOMORROW MORNING… so I said "yeah!" and I'm back from my first day at work.
Now to get a nap… and later it's back to tackling the BIG project :)
Okay all of you feeling sorry for yourselves? I fell down an elevator shaft and fractured my cervical spine. Fortunately I avoided worse injury by breaking the fall with my face.
So I did the worst thing I could do at work. I dropped the security keys down the gap between the elevator car and the floor. The cars park on the first floor so after getting the emergency office key I go to the lower level and open the elevator door. The keys had fallen down shaft one and I can only open the door to elevator two. I see them over to the far left and then look down in front of me at the dark pit that is the bottom of an elevator shaft with the solid metal bumper in the middle.
I promptly fell in. My face smashed into that solid metal bumper. It was so bad I spat out a huge glob of blood down there. Since I was already down there I retrieved the keys. I couldn't open the elevator door so I called 9-1-1 and calmly told them what had happened (spitting blood everywhere) Then I see the little ladder I had intended on using to go down, work the armo f the elevator door where I had fitted the emergency key and got out. I made the emergency phone calls and met the ambulance at the back door.
Piles of stitches in the neck, lip and chin and a fractured cervical vertabrae.
So the ER doctor told me that I can now say that I fell down an elevator shaft and broke my fool neck.
So the ER doctor told me that I can now say that I fell down an elevator shaft and broke my fool neck.That's horrific! But in a heroic way.
You're actually lucky that way.
Consider my situation; two weeks ago, walking into the kitchen on chilly day, I slipped over on the blanket that I had on my knees… Right in the doorway. I fell down in a heap.
A pathetic heap… On my kitchen floor.
And ended up with horrible pain in my left arm…
And after a bazillion X-rays an ultrasound, and my doctor poking and prodding, it turns out to be some weird nerve problem due to a weird shaped clavicle and some swelling under it constricting the nerves there…
So I'm plagued by horrible pains (aching, stabbing, numbing, the whole gamut) and have neither a good story to show for it, nor a cool injury to point to…
—————————————
Hahahaha! and to make things even MORE lame;
my arm has actually been improving a bit… but this morning my work phone fell on my head, bounced off and slipped down between it and the wall. I had a look and couldn't see it, so I rang it with my other one. I saw it then but couldn't reach it, so I slipped out of bed to get down beside it so I could reach the phone… Hurt my sore arm doing that…
Reach and reach and got the annoyingly rining phone finally, then reached and reached and got the OTHER one so I could hang it up.
…And in doing so, discovered I was wedged in, between my bed and my bedside table.
Stuck FAST!
Stuck solidly
I tried to use a leg to get out but painfully cramped it and knew I'd f**k it up if I went further… so it was down to the buggered arm. -_-
It was agony, but I finally pulled myself out… So now I have managed to make my pathetic injury worse in an even MORE pathetic and lame way.
I'm like an unfunny real life version of George Costanza-
…except thinner, with more hair and better eyesight. So I should be happy about that at least.
Compared to me, you're like John McClane from Die Hard!
—————————————-
It's funny isn't it? Especially the stuff from the earliest episodes- It's all in there!I can't believe how many jokes from Spaced they put into Shaun of The Dead and Hot Fuzz.Spaced is great.That it is :)
Now I'm rewatching it all these years later I see so much stuff that I missed before.
I think my cat Annie really missed me while I was gone…she hasn't left my side since I came back from vacation. Even waits outside the door of the bathroom for me. :P
And my dog Buddy went nuts when he saw me. : )
Bravo, that sounds really painful! Hope you feel better soon. But you do have a pretty cool story now.

Now doesn't that make your ears bleed?
It's meant to.
Sadly it's not even a good recording of the song.
…
Yes it's me.
No I don't sing like that.
I could use some help. I am trying to impress some ladies in my class, so I don't want to wear the same boring crap I usually do (plain colored shirt and jeans, hooah), but counting all the shirts I have (including a plain red and green shirt) I only have 11 that still fit me well. What is a good amount of shirts to have?
Alternatively, I have a white shirt I'm thinking of doctoring into an extra shirt. I was gonna write something like "I'm a shirt!" with a sharpie on it but idk if thats dumb as hell or ironically cool.
Could use some advice please and thank you
If you want a class girl, you got to dress up. If you want a girl who is impressed by things like dumb phrases written in sharpie, write a dumb phrase on your shirt with a sharpie. It's not really the number of shirts but what kind they are and how you wear them. Even if they're just tshirts, if they're plain and clean they look good with something like a moden blazer.
I'm pretty shit at girl fashion though so make sure you get a second opinion.

Aloha shirts. Wild floral prints or subdued you will be the epitome of cool and everyone will wish they were you. However, never wear a white tee-shirt with one and never wear long sleeved shirts beneath them.
And a cool hat helps too.
idk if thats dumb as hell or ironically cool.
i've always thought these phrases were interchangeable.
————-
the doctor still says the pain is constipation, even tho that seems to be going away, and a couple days ago, i had the exact opposite problem. whatever, when i fall over unconscious, maybe then something will get done.
it's a good thing i'm not in the desert, cause then they'd try to take out my appendix. even tho it's already gone. (it's funny because everyone that complains of pains in their right abdomen has it removed, even when it's not the problem)
Hmm, now that I think on it, there IS one thing I think would be general good advice:
Wear stuff that suits your shape.
Most women know that, but too many men just rely on the garment itself to look good, not thinking about what's actually IN it.
If something doesn't suit your shape or fit right, it'll look shit, no matter HOW expensive and lovely a thing it is.
- Jeans that bag out around your arse. Making you look as if you have a flat, saggy old-man bum in there.
- Trousers that are a little too long in the cuff. They bag out at the ankle and make it look as if you're wearing someone else's pants.
- Jackets that are too big. You swim in them. They either make you look small and pathetic inside there, or like a clothes elephant., depending on your shape and the style of jacket.
- if you have a fit shape and you want to wear a long sleeve button up shirt, go for the fitted styles generally.
- If you've got a tummy, don't tuck in your shirt and wear a belt at the same time. If you want to tuck, get braces!
… I could go on…
Anyway, What Skool and Bravo said!
Though don't wear a Hawaiian shirt in winter.
