Someone on JLPT: i see nine to ten yr old gals there!!!

what e hell...are they trying to enter some japanese industry tt's lucrative

Me: U15!!!


Someone else: i know a friend whose birthday parties is to get his friends drunk, and then put condoms all over the bungalow, and watch the fun

he's gay
but he invites lots of heteros as well


Someone: girls tend to annoy me because it's like, a lot are so pc and 'nice' all the time, when in fact they're not

I can't even blame them for being hypocritical
cuz I think they really do believe it all

it's just an amazing ability to doublethink

then I see so many of them happy, the 'simple' ones
I feel kinda cheated

it's like HEY!
so it's envy too :D

Me: How Girls Waste Time

128. Backstabbing other girls and then later complaining that they hate backstabbers, or vice versa.

149. Refusing to tell people when they're annoyed because they want to be nice and then blowing up without warning when they can't contain themselves any longer.

Someone: only it's not really a waste of time

it's kinda a function of the existence
:(

like the way moles dig holes in the ground

I sincerely don't get it
what's the pt

I think it's because they're brought up to be 'nice'


HWMNBN: friend: "did you know shostakovish converted his name into 4 notes like a siagnature? in one of his symphonies, he has an aggressive halting theme supposed to represent stalin's aggression and violence. and it's a case of his personal theme coming under siege by stalin's theme. but of course by this time stalin is dead. and slowly his own theme wins out."

me: "that's not being ironic and sarcastic, that's being hao lian"


HWMNBN: nw.t. says:
she calls me to complain
and whine and moan about being out of a job

*** says:
and u listen to her ..... why ?

nw.t. says:
because i'm a decent human being with compassion for the suffering of others
something you're obvioulsy not familiar with

Me: bullshit

HWMNBN: *shrugs and smiles*
i'm as good as the world allows me to be

Me: I'm as thin as the world allows me to be

HWMNBN: *smiles* or as hirsute


Someone: "convention wisdom says that hair length is inversely proportional to intelligence, but look at me!"

Me: uhh
that's why girls are dumber than guys ah

Someone: lol
i didn't say that

Me: hurr hurr


Me: "how to screw with people"

Someone else: expectedly written by an econs grad

Me: what
econs know how to screw with people ah

Someone else: econs articles on behaviour are more interesting than psych ones lor

freakonomics is by an econs dude
psych behaviour articles tend to take the high road
they like to research "useful" things like the science of attraction, learning, how to impress people during the first meeting, etc

nobody in psych cares about why black people give their kids such "ethnic" names, or etc etc.

although there's a study showing that ppl like to have names or live in cities that match their names. my prof couldn't convince me of that though, even though he gave the reference and everything. i just don't believe it's a real effect

Like, guys with the name dennis have a higher tendency to be dentists and live in denver. or something like that.
mathematically, the effect is there. but I think it's more coincidence than a real "like begets like" effect


Someone: i'm now reading a recent paper

it's on drug use in rave parties... he questions that there's a 'problem' with it, and tries to show this as a meaningful behaviour that allows the users to create alternative spaces for connection, bonding, and resistance

can probably imagine him going... "you're going into a possibly lethal seizure? how subversive! of course it's not a sign that rave drugs are a problem and menace! you must tell me what this experience truly means to you"


Someone else: your letter is nice

Me: oh. thanks.
I is good. heh

Someone else: haha u was good

Me: >:(
I not good anymore ah

Someone else: no

means at the point in time when u wrote the letter you were good
now must reevaluate

Me: hello
I wrote it yesterday

Someone else: then u were good yesterday loh

Me: ... I smack you


Someone: *** think i am a kind of slut
cause i wear different shirts all the time

they think that they are from my different lovers ahaha

today i wore SRJC shirt
yesterday i wore a rugby shirt
the other day i wore a bizad shirt

Frigid Girl: yea
