January 8, 201214 yr Also, how no one seems to realize that everyone has the same insecurities you do, just some are better at hiding them. Really? I am pretty sure that, not being overweight and not paying any attention to my weight, I do not have any insecurities about my weight to hide. My overweight friend does have these insecurities. It's really not so much a case of hiding insecurities as the fact that certain personalities are more prone to developing them. "Imagine yourself surrounded by the most horrible cripples and maniacs it is possible to conceive, and you may understand a little of my feelings with these grotesque caricatures of humanity about me." - H.G. Wells, The Island of Doctor Moreau
January 8, 201214 yr And some are more verbal with their insecurities. This is a minor annoyance but I dislike how you can only play Blackberry videos on the PC using Quicktime. Quicktime is a [bleep] to use because then you can't move the files or delete them. Converting the file to AVI so you can play it on a different media player destroys the quality. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢
January 8, 201214 yr It's justified to pass judgement when people complain about hangovers, judge others when they don't drink, and rely too much on alchol to have a good time. I'm not conveying this to reflect upon you, but just to let you know sometimes judgement is legitimate.I see "relying on a computer or video game console to be absolutely no different than relying on alcohol to have a good time. Someone complains they're hungover, so that allows you to pass judgement? That's a load of bs. If a person tells you that you're a loser for not drinking, that makes that individual person a jerk, not all people who drink excessively. With the current drinking culture, it's hard for these people not to have a party without alcohol. Have the party be about socially interacting with other people, not for the purpose of drinking. When people say "Lets go to David's party and get hammered" just makes me think they're not some of the best cultured (and sometimes intelligent if they're really dumb about it) people around. Does it make them inferior to me? No, but I judge them as such and keep a bit of distance from them. People do have a choice to choose who to interact with in their lives. The other two points only apply if you actually do it. If a guy gets hammered in a party and doesn't post how much this hangover hurts on Facebook, then I see him in a better light than the other guy who types "got a hangover, fml" or similar nonsense. On the topic of drinking being bad for your health, I hate it when people dislikes someone because they smoke or because they drink or because they're fat, citing health reasons. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."
January 8, 201214 yr Those stupid Facebook things that say... "Someone has answered a question about you. Complete this quiz to find out what they said!"
January 8, 201214 yr I only have 25 Facebook friends, but when I checked my messages today my whole wall was filled with those shits. EDIT: 1337 post count. =3

I have many intelligent and cultured friends that love to party. I don't think it's fair to put a blanket statement on a group like that. Some of the most genuine and fun-loving people I have encountered were met while drinking. Sure, there are some bad eggs out there, but in my experiences, every group of people has them. Next time I'm out with my friends, I'll make sure to have a drink for you :) "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."
January 8, 201214 yr Those stupid Facebook things that say... "Someone has answered a question about you. Complete this quiz to find out what they said!" I'm pretty sure you can block those things. Facebook doesn't bother me at all anymore, I just unsubscribe from those I know who always post retarded shit, and only keep subscriptions to my close friends, those who I hang out with pretty often.
January 8, 201214 yr Well, I'm sorry you feel that way about people that like to party. A large social gathering based on getting hammered? Doesn't seem a very fun thing to do and not to mention, says something about the attendees' interests and habits. A large social gathering based on social interaction? Seems like a fun place to go to. As I said before, drinking to get wasted is to me a stupid thing to do. Drinking on the side within a party does not make you a drunken fool. Going to a party because they have beer, does. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Going to a party because they have beer, does.Oh really. What does it say about their interests and habits? I get nearly a 4.0, I'm about to graduate with my B.A., and move on to grad school. I also work 30 hours a week and get blasted drunk with my friends two or three nights a week. Am I stupid? Am I a fool? Your implied elitism is starting to get on my nerves. The naivety you posses about the drinking culture gives me a sneaking suspicion that you're making judgements from afar without ever participating in the activity you are degrading. Nobody goes to the party "because they have beer." They bring their own. People party because it is a way to escape the stress of their every day lives. A large social gathering based on playing board games and chatting while eating light snacks? Sounds like something I used to do in 5th grade. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."
January 9, 201214 yr My last two posts were trying to side with you, trying to make you see two groups of different people, giving yourself as the one I have no problem with...but you're getting way to defensive three posts in a row. And by habits/interests, I meant on a social level. I don't give a damn what your GPA is, what you do for a living, or you attend college or not. Sheesh. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."
January 9, 201214 yr I already understand both sides of the situation as I have many friends who do not party. Most of my friends that I grew up with did not partake in any sort of drinking until they were well into college, so I have been to plenty of Mountain Dew infused movie nights and video game nights under my belt. You can twist it any way you like, but you outright insulted people that drink to get drunk by calling them fools and stupid. You're welcome to say that you don't agree with drinking to get drunk--and I can respect that--but if you degrade people by calling them names or insulting their intelligence, don't expect someone who is a part of that culture not to say something.

But fine, continue going to parties for the sole purpose of getting drunk using whatever excuse you want and I'll be here sitting on my high horse forever having a sense of honor superiority over you.

January 9, 201214 yr People who smoke up wind of me, especially at the bus stop. I guess once you smoke for a while it makes you forget how bad it reeks. For me, it makes vomiting in my near future a very likely possibility.
January 9, 201214 yr Typing something, but subconsciously type something else that's similar. Like "My day was okay" but typing "my day wasnt okay" I've typed worse, pretty sure its a problem in my mind from being stuck home those past 3 years slowly rotting my mind :x Popoto.~<3
January 9, 201214 yr I hate people who always postpone things until the very last moment, so everything has to be done in a hurry. Chronic procrastinators, I think they're called. It's even worse when they are apparently oblivious of the annoyance this causes, and expect you to cope with it. Bah. The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is for Good Men to do Nothing. (Edmund Burke)
