Congratulate me!

The class that I thought was going to bring down my GPA… yeah, I definitely pulled off an A- which has made my day amazing… only to be brought down by the daunting task of studying for my operating systems class which is basically all memorization of a very boring book thats reads like a technical manual written by Satan.

I’ve been reading random peoples journals lately. No one that I know (well, that isn’t entirely true, but the following doesn’t apply to anyone I’m actually concerned with) and I’ve noticed two rather annoying trends in peoples entries.

First, and the one that annoys me a lot in real life conversation is that many people in this world are sycophants. Seriously… I understand the need to have friends in high places even if it is only to elevate yourself, but do you people really need to do this to the detriment of yourself and your own friends. Ok… I have a few friends that have a lot of money and live in” high society”… but never (even when told these classy friends wouldn’t talk to me otherwise) would I ever risk a relationship with another friend to bolster a self serving, self edifying relationship that will likely lead me no where new in life. That isn’t to say that if I were guaranteed a change for the better that I would take that, becasue I most certainly wouldn’t. Loyalty and respect are “all important” in my world (as small as it may be).

Second, the teenage and young adult generations of today have mastered the severely annoying art of saying something without saying something so they can take a stab at someone without actually having ever said something so they have complete deniability should anything bad ever come of what they didn’t say. I truly love the people who say, “I have something really important to tell someone but I don’t know if I should. I mean, I want them to understand me, but what if it doesn’t go right?” (Really, read xanga to your hearts content, 90% of people will have something like that somewhere in their entries.) Its one thing to say what you want to without leaving details that could give some people too much information (i.e. names and dates and exact happenings), but do you people really think that who ever it is that you don’t want to say something to won’t know the second they read your post that you are actually singling them out trying to make them feel bad for not being a good enough friend for not know exactly what you wanted to tell them ahead of time?

Sorry, I haven’t vented in a while… I’m done now.
