You get a thank you? I thought we were supposed to be MORE polite down here in NC.

To be fair though, it's always in the morning and nobody is awake.

So lemme just say: It's really fucking annoying when someone holds the door open for you but you're too far away to make it within what you think is a reasonable time and it's all awkward and shit. Especially when you're a heaping mass of blubber like me, because I end up running and I'm really ducking self conscious about my body. I can just sort of feel everyone in the vicinity thinking "Hey, look at lardasse's belly jiggling". So basically, don't hold a door open for someone far away. Have fun trying to judge that, and forever thinking that everyone you hold a door open for hates you on the inside.


I only hold the door open if I get there a couple feet before them.

I've been holding doors open for precisely that reason for months now. I find that I like making people feel uncomfortable in ways nobody can call me out on without making everyone more uncomfortable.

Why are almost all scholarships based on financial need? Just because my parents make enough money that they could contribute a little bit to my edication does not mean that they will. So where does that leave people like me? Most scholarships require financial need to be eligible, and a lot of the ones that don't are exclusively for women or exclusively for minorities. The few I can apply for I don't win, because they're basically like playing the lottery in terms of odds. Seriously. It is absolutely aggravating and I cannot stand it.

I suppose it's a matter of triaging - there is only so much money going to scholarships, so they figure people who's parents couldn't contribute are in more need than you. This is a case I'd say blame the fact we have a pay-to-play economy.

All of this talk of tuition could be solved if you join the Army like I did. Military service is a 5/10: could be better.

Military will be in bad shape if they are reduced to taking internet folk. My fat-ass lucky if I can get it out of a chair. And what will happen when all the weebs show up to basic training and find out they don't get a folded-1000 times katana?

There are a ton of weirdos here and I bought a tomahawk instead of a katana so it's basically the same.

When you're deployed. I've talked to a guy from a Ranger Battalion who said that they had a guy who brought a tomahawk with him. They all made fun of the guy. Until he killed an insurgent with it. Then everyone bought a tomahawk.

Sounds effective. I think it's time we institute a few regiments of axe-throwers.

Usually vehicle crews have axes so that if your shit catches on fire you can bust out the hatches so you aren't burned to death inside your cabin.

This here is why I'm going Navy. That, and the fact that I'm too much of a scaredy cat to actually fight on the ground.

Not exactly good for your college tuition if you die before you can use it.

I also rather wish judgement on age wasn't so prominent. One always hears about how the young folks don't have any respect but who's supposed to teach them respect? If they're constantly underestimated or categorized because they happen to have been born later by sheer chance, then wouldn't that cause some resentment to the whole "respect your elders" deal? Part of why the qualifier arises is because elders can't stand to think that the youngsters are doing better than they themselves.

Keep in mind that all those 'for your age' remarks are probably not coming from a bad place. Eventually you'll have to accept that some people will always just see your age and nothing else. Anyways, I hope it won't bother you as much in the future. Just keep on swimmin' m'lady!




I really hate punk-ass kids who are emotional leeches and attention-baiters. But then I get really mad at myself because I can't bring myself to tell them to stop coming to me about their problems. I feel like if I did, they would throw themselves off a bridge lmao. Call me Rain the Impromptu Therapist who desperately-needs-her-own-therapist.

It's not that bad, unless you count melting to your ship in a fire (has happened, USS Stark.) I'm looking at going tanker so I can just be a rocket magnet. Plus I'm not about that walking everywhere life.
