My life is teh sux ritenao
I didn't think that the product of this year would be a diminished ability to undress in front of people and an amplified ability to cry in the same position. I've had so few opportunities to do the former and so many for the latter that my ability to do each has switched.
I've been attacked so many times today. First, from a comment on a vlogbrothers video about his pronunciation of the word "pwn". Hank himself @-replied me with a contradiction (sort of) to my comment, which would have been NBD except for the fact that it attracted every troll on youtube to come and attack me personally for the comment, with comments ranging from "how the fuck else would you say it?" to "that's how you say it," to "LOL you just got owned by Hank :)" It was the last one that actually made me cry. I didn't think nerdfighteria had trolls. That's twice now I've been hurt by the community.
Second, by my RA. She sent us this horrible email about bad personal conduct on the floor in which I had no hand. I told her that it offended me and that i wished for more respectful and courteous conduct from her in the future (I used better phrasing, of course) and she, in essence, said "I regret nothing, fuck you." I was formerly one of her strongest proponents. She lost my respect and my friendship (what there was of it) in two easy steps.
Third, by one of my closest friends. After the incident with the RA, I went into my friend's room and literally burst into tears (something I never do in the presence of others, friendly or otherwise). I told them what happened, how I felt about it, and how it could have been handled better. She, in essence, took the RA's side. Which would have been fine, if she had had a logical argument to back it up. Not only did she lack that asset, but she spat at me about it just as hard as the RA had moments before, with the comments that caused me to start crying in the first place. Her facts were unsupported, and her points were refuted early in the conversation, but she refused to let them go. Rather than backing them up with better arguments, she just pushed them harder and harder until I had to get up and leave the room, because I was clearly getting no support from her.
I also became aware today of the animosity that vegetarians hold towards pescetarians. I am a pescetarian, which is someone who eats like a lacto-ovo vegetarian except with the inclusion of occasional seafood. I was looking for recipes online, but all I really came back with were fora full of vegetarians bashing pescetarians and pescetarians defending themselves. It didn't make me feel good.
I took some exams last week. All 3 came back a letter grade or more lower than I had been expecting.
I need spring break like a grindylow needs water.
tl;dr: FML
