Update for Everyone III - The Whinge Binge

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

And apparently I've been led on by that girl since Day 1.

Yeah, safe to say it's about to be cutoff time.

I'm in the exact same situation, oddly enough.

Yeah. Fifty shades of crazy

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

I've apparently made a habit out of confusing my Carls. As in half the time I wind up texting 20RP12 weird sh*t that I mean for my other friend Carl.

So, I was in the audience for Maury today. Keep an eye out for me.

Back at college.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

One of the weirdest nights in my life. Some kid wound up walking back with us, inviting himself in my room, and passing out on my roommate's bed.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

So I'm sitting up in my bed with a fever, craving bacon, McDonald's, and ramen, unable to sleep even though I took 2 Nyquil pills.

F**k this gay earth.

Today, I heard one of my professors talking about the Yugoslav Wars, and I almost burst out laughing because my first thought was imagining Snowstalker raising his hand and saying "But Serb kids died". I really need to take a break from this place.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

Rough day, to say the least.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

I've apparently taken to expressing myself in the form of cute animal pictures.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

So my best friend is going home when I am and I'm hype af now

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

OK guys I suspect I am the one of a certain "f" word. What do I do?

Do what makes you happy, dawg. Just be you and f**k the rest.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

Paper interview went well. Keep an eye out if you're in the Lancaster area.

Allow me to explain the twelve-hour ordeal that I've had to deal with:

3:00 PM: Get out of class, get situated and take a breather.
3:15 PM: Pack.
3:45 PM: Clean my room.
4:00 PM: Take out the trash.
4:30 PM: F**k about my room.
5:00 PM: Wait for the bus.
5:20 PM: Actually get on the bus, which is late by now.
5:50 PM: Get off the bus.
5:55 PM: Get some dinner. Play Pokemon at this nice noodle place. Probably the only awesome thing that happened past 3.
7:10 PM: Leave. Try to call a cab, and realize that it somehow sends me STRAIGHT TO VOICEMAIL. Have to walk down Queen St. to get to the station
7:30 PM: At the station. Have to wait some more.
9:40 PM: Go to board. Oh wait! The f**king train is late! (2 hours of waiting now)
9:55 PM: Go back inside.
10:20 PM: Finally leave Lancaster. F**k about on my laptop.
11:30 PM: Train arrives in Philadelphia. For some god-forsaken reason, Wendy's and Taco Bell of all places are closed. slightly pissed off. (2 hours)
12:05 AM: My train is delayed. A bunch of randos and I are pissed off. We want to die.
12:30 AM: Two of the randos invite me out with them to a bar. I cannot go because of fascist bullsh*t. Thanks, Reagan! It's not like I've literally done nothing for 3 hours!
1:00 AM: The train has not left Washington. At the earliest it will be here at 3:00. We're all pissed. I almost have a breakdown. The 40-year-old woman and I are ranting, one woman is literally crying. I am literally offering my parents to get on the train to NY
1:30 AM: Randos leave. Some random guy wants me to give him money to get home. Full on puppy dog eyes and ish. We are at Hour 4.
2:00 AM: Meet up with a guy who apparently was on the train I took coming in and is going to Boston. Train has apparently not even left DC and is at least an hour away.
2:45 AM (Hour Five): The train has left DC. I repeat, the train has left DC. Bad news: Two hours is now.
3:00 AM: More talking, more schmoozing with random people. Hop back on my laptop.
3:30 AM (Hour Six): It says my train is boarding. SPOILERS: It's not. I'm mad as hell.
4:00 AM: We're finally boarding. I sigh a sigh of relief, other people I talked with sigh a sigh of relief.
4:20 AM: I am on board. I sit here and I type my experience with you.

EDIT: Two train stops.

Total waiting time: 8 hours.
Delay time: 6 hours.
Total actual travel time: 7 hours.
Amtrak: not even once.

Part 2 of the ordeal!

4:20 AM: Get on the train. Chill out there with a few people.
5:00 AM: Sleep a little. God knows what's happening from here.
8:30 AM: Wake up. Apparently I'm in New Haven.
9:15 AM: The train stops. The train stops. For five minutes, we're at a crawlspeed, and then it stops.
9:30 AM: It stops again. Five minutes of stops, another crawlspeed. Two college kids next to me who have been on there from Virginia on (bless their hearts) have enough time to get out and throw snowballs at the train.
10:30 AM: Three trains are in the station. We have to stop for another 15 minutes. We are all pissed.
11:30 AM: WE'RE FINALLY IN RHODE ISLAND! Things so smoothly.
1:00 PM: I come in. I situate myself, check everything, and take a breath now that everything is over.
1:10 PM: Mom is lost. Hangs up on me, refuses to pick up. Between this, the sheer ordeal of having to wait, the fact that I was invited to get a few drinks to forget that this wait was going to happen, being approached by a beggar, and essentially having to travel for eighteen hours, I break down.
2:00 PM: I'm sick of this. I start looking into stopping at the bank, getting some money out of my emergency fund, and taking the train back home to NH. It's here I find out that my mom is driving in circles because she put in the wrong GPS address. I text her the right one, call her... she refuses to pick up. But the next train to my town comes at 5, and I decide I'm going to wait until 3.
2:30 PM: She finally picks up. I tell her the right one. We're finally good.
2:35 PM: She's at the wrong address. I'm so goddamn sick of it that I just walk the 20 minutes to get there.
2:55 PM: With 1% of my phone battery left, and barely any hate, I find my mother. After around 22 hours from when I get on the bus to when I get to the car, I'm finally home. On the ride home, we just rant about our horrible ordeals, grab some dinner, and we come to the comfort of our home, thankful that it's over.

And I almost had another panic attack over the thought of me running into people from high school again. Thank God I didn't go to school in-state.

Came home today and the conversation with my brother (mjmsh22) obviously turned to Update. I like to keep him aware of the less serious aspects of the site. Eventually we veered into some old classics and I brought up the sock puppet from the Kansas City ballet, a name which he recognized - but he not from FC because he never goes in here. His Italian teacher from two years ago frequently spoke about a son by that name. We both thought it was almost certainly a coincidence, but in disbelief I continued describing him which matched everything he knew about him - especially being quite liberal. After I showed a picture, he confirmed that was certainly his teacher's son. She spoke about the ballet too much for it to be a coincidence. I'm in complete shock! 3 degrees of separation from him. And technically I have spoken to Prof twice so perhaps just two degrees depending how you count it.

I'm also 3 degrees away from Mondale. Not really big on revealing how though.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

Well, guess what guys, I'm a Democrat. 

Congratulations!!! Have you come out to your family yet? If they're accepting, would you bring a Democrat home? If they're not, just remember: you were born this way, this wasn't a choice you made. So happy for you!!

He doesn't have to. His father is the Arkansas Democratic Party.

When you shave and bae compliments you in front of the whole class

Saw and managed to avoid the crazy girl from last semester last night. Great success.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

Today I had an extremely awkward moment that didn't turn out to be awkward at all.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

My week hasn't even begun and I already need a drink.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

While I still very much consider myself a socialist, more political reading plus a general distrust of people  (though nowhere near as bad as the childish misanthropy that I've held before, and I still trust the average person more than anyone in the global ruling class) have somewhat blunted my revolutionary spirit. I strongly admire my comrade TNF's boundless optimism in contrast, though at this point I see it best to focus on college as well as my personal hobbies (mostly video games) for my own sake, with political reading on the side to refine the specifics of my worldview.

And the road to Rhodesia continues.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

I have pinkeye.

Fake sick and go to the gay conference.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

Fake sick and go to the gay conference.

Oh yes, because it is totally worth hanging your place of employment out to dry in order to attend "Queer Studies Conference - Rainbow Intersectionality: Coming Out at the Crossroads of Identities."

Let's be real here - LeBron is an Atlas gay icon. Queer Studies Conference deserves to have him.
