Think of it like an unwanted, shitty vacation to th' middle of fuckin' nowhere.

[globalreach]

Annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying!

[Waaaaait for it-]

Y'done with your hissyfit?

[1/2]

[globalreach]

It's not a hissyfit.

[2/2]

[globalreach]

But I'm over it.

[allyostrays]

Naaah. I know a hissyfit when I see one. But it's good that it's over. It's a pain when newbies bitch and whine, y'know?

[globalreach]

It's not a hissyfit. What do you mean by newbies?

[allyostrays]

Who died and made you expert of hissyfits? And it's not obvious, so make with the details.

You're not. A grad student, that is. You're really shabby. And you're irritating.

"Even"? I think you come out owing me.

[allyostrays]

Naaah.
