The old one was lost.

Currently I'm listening to xbxrx and working on groundwater

!@#$%! · 04.06.2007, 01:35 PM

wasting time on the internet while i drink some green tea & my relatively-new YLT record playing in the background. really nice, i have to say, not mind-blowing, but retro-pleasant...

ok, back to the grind...

cagedbird · 04.06.2007, 01:38 PM

Enjoying spring. Reflecting on Good Friday (I can't help it, the city is quiet.)
Listening to Marving Gaye at Professor Griff''s Myspace page. (www.myspace.com/xminista)

SynthethicalY · 04.06.2007, 01:39 PM

Singing to the tunes in my head.

God is dead, and no one cares.

Just bought that last week. "Pass the Hatchet" alone was worth it.

Good stuff! I just got into Marvin Gaye recently and I recorded "What's going on?" on tape!

afterthefact · 04.06.2007, 02:00 PM

nothing, because I took the afternoon off work for no reason, so I have nothing to do... and I love it.

Savage Clone · 04.06.2007, 02:33 PM

Enjoying a couple of precious hours of downtime between work and my fifth night in a row at the studio, followed by more working tomorrow, possibly followed by more studio work after that, only to wind up in Family Obligation Land on Sunday.

Trasher02 · 04.06.2007, 02:53 PM

I'm listening to EVOL.

Attempting to pass the workday posting drivel on this forum, but the rest of you are uncooperative. Useless fuckers.

luxinterior · 04.06.2007, 03:03 PM

I'm listening to "Endless Love" in the dark.

truncated · 04.06.2007, 03:18 PM

Thread hijack time - luxy, are you still at Loyola?

Inhuman · 04.06.2007, 03:31 PM

Just finished adding a news feed to groundwater, the CP is nearly complete!

Probably going to read "the Rebel Sell" now and have food.

luxinterior · 04.06.2007, 03:31 PM

Nope, it didn't quite work out. I'm going to a community college now which is about 20 minutes away from where I live.

truncated · 04.06.2007, 03:41 PM

You're mirroring my wayward college career in a scary way - I also abandoned my first attempt and went to a community college.

You're not missing anything at Loyola. The people at Loyola are

a. Hardcore Jesuits - very odd
b. Hardcore Jesuits with money - downright scary
c. North-side Chicagoans - by default rich, and more often than not painfully stupid
d. Almost all female - enough said

I'm not sure I even went there. I mostly skipped class, ate cereal, and watched cartoons.

Sounds like college.

truncated · 04.06.2007, 03:52 PM

I've enumerated my feelings on college before. I will say that Loyola made me categorically despise Catholic priests. Sadistic and devious.

Oh wait, isn't that a prerequisite for being Catholic?

luxinterior · 04.06.2007, 03:59 PM

Yeah, I pretty much ran out of all the money I had within a few weeks of being there. I definitely underestimated what the cost of living would be. Then again, in one class alone, the teacher gave out the wrong list of books to buy, which he later corrected, but not soon enough. The bookstore wouldn't give me a refund, so that was a few hundred dollars down the drain.

Nearly everyone I met there was pretty wealthy, whereas I couldn't afford to do much of anything. Unless it was free, of course. I did plenty of free stuff.

The "friends" I made there turned out to be totally fucking psycho, so even if I hadn't already been having problems there, they would've been enough of a reason to leave.

Also, things at home were also going out of whack, and I felt like I really needed to be back there, rather than away from everything. Really the final straw was when a friend of mine from high school died in a car accident. And those new "friends" of mine had basically begun stalking me. After all of that, I didn't want to be anywhere near Loyola. One of my current teachers is from Chicago, and when I told him that I had gone to Loyola for a semester, he just cringed and said, "I'm so sorry." I wish something like that had happened before I actually started school there, but noooo, everyone just told me how great Loyola was and how it was a nice neighborhood to live in and all sorts of crap.

I didn't think it was going to be so bad until Orientation this past summer. It pretty much killed any hopes I had for college.

Also, in high school I took a lot of dual credit courses, and from the very beginning the advisors I went to at Loyola kept saying that all of my credits could transfer over (which would take care of one year of college). But later they decided that this wasn't true, that none of my credits could transfer over, and all sorts of nonsense. I was furious. One of the main reasons I had decided to go there in the first place was because they told me that they could accept all of my dual credits from high school.

And yeah, the people there mostly sucked.

The classes themselves were okay, probably the least of my worries while I was there (though I did end up dropping two of them).

truncated · 04.06.2007, 04:08 PM

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, and I hope things have improved at home. If they haven't, you do a fabulous job of masking emotional distress with humor. Probably psychologically unhealthy, but I for one applaud your efforts, if that is indeed the case.

Yeah, Loyola jacked me around academically too, with AP credits. I am convinced it was a money-making ploy, as they were (and are) in serious financial straits.

I wasn't very fond of my classes, as I didn't particularly like many people in them. Pompous academic English twats (I mean major, not nationality).

May I ask why and how these people were stalking you? Not that I blame them. You're hot.
