hateful little man
Jun. 5th, 2002 08:06 amMore things ah can't stand:
1) People who park illegally in the parking complex. I almost hit someone today because a bunch of retards parked their cars where they're not supposed to and I couldn't see beyond them. I slowly edged up and almost thought it was clear but next thing I know, this car comes out of nowhere! Look, I can understand some people come home real late at night after partying and can't find a parking space. They're tired or drunk, and I can understand that. But a lot of these people are just lazy! Its like, there are tons of open parking spaces close to them. But they're too good to walk 20 or so feet. They park right in front of their door. I mean, what the hell? They can't be expected to walk fifteen feet!? Such arrogance. And it blocks the flow of traffic. I mean, why would you risk you car getting scratched up because other drivers are having trouble getting past it just because you can't walk a few extra feet.
2) People who don't own up to their traffic mistakes. I mean, what's up with people who are in the wrong lane and realize it too late? And instead of owning up to it and just going with the flow and turning around when they have a chance, they insist on changing lanes akwardly right there and blocking everyone else off! I mean, talk about a piece of trash who only thinks of themself! Instead of making it a little inconvenient for themselves, they decide to make it inconvenient for everyone else. And its doubly annoying when the person is also on a cellphone at the same time. Hey, I got nothing against cellphones. I think everyone should have one, to make contacting easier. But using them while you're driving is just plain stupid.
And I think these peeves are way more peevy than Holli's "using turn signals in parking lots or other sitches where you can do nothing but turn in one direction". I mean really, a blinking turn signal doesn't hurt anybody! Well, mebbe an epileptic. Anyways, I think they above both boil down to the same thing: hubris. That's what I keep saying is the problem with this world. Everyone thinks they're so damn great. Always thinking of themselves. Yeah, at times, I do think of myself first. But I'm a hypocrite. Indeed, my hypocrisy knows no bounds. But do as I say, not as I do!

more genius!
Jun. 5th, 2002 11:10 amYes, even I can be guilty of thinking that I am so great sometimes. Like right now, I'm patting myself on the back for figuring something out. And its not even a big deal really, I prolly could've asked someone how to do it. I think I'm so damn clever just because I figured it out myself in a moment of divine inspiration. (After 3 years!)
Ugh, I'm like totally out of it right now. Sleepy, and a little nauseated. I hope its not because of my new meds. I want to go home and take a nap.
Owel, was watching MTV in the kitchen while heating up my lunch, singing and dancing along when some dudes from the Backbone group walked in on me. Big SWAT dude was all "What're you, hip-hoppin'?!" Talk about ugh on my face!
Hit the student center arcade afterwards. Finally got to the scramble mission on Sega Strike Fighter. Of course, I got my ass kicked in the previous mission. I mean, I was able to finally take out all the targets, but I was so focused on getting them all that I wasn't paying attention to how much damage I was taking.
Then played some Silent Scope EX. I had been shying away from it because I wasn't guaranteed to beat the HIND guy in the third mission without continuing. And I hate continuing. But I said, screw it and just played on through. Got to the final set of stages and tried the "sneak in through the loading docks" part. I believe I was one guy away from completing it, but I just didn't find him in time. So I continued again, this time opting for the handgliding mission. Pretty cool. Especially near the end, and its like the shoot-out at the OK Corral. You fly towards the last set of guys and take them out as fast as you can. Then its the classic wander the base and take out anyone you see scenario. I haven't had such fun in a while!
