words destroy all meaning

Mar 20, 2007 21:57

I have on of those ridiculous drabble type assignments to write for philosophy- you know, the ones where the word limit is so ludicrous that once you've written it you have to cut it down by a third. Inevitably you end up submitting something that reads like Yoda wrote it, having cut out key words and done grammatical gymnastics to get the whole ( Read more... )

apart from similar frustration at teensy word counts(please remind me i said this when i'm bitching about a thesis or some such being way too much to write, lol)
and general tendency to rant in a feminist manner(while still feeling bad for Tito- not at all in regard to him getting in trouble, as far as i'm concerned, he deserves it, more the fact he's seemingly become a scapegoat for the entire thing, whereas i see there being a collective fault of anyone who joined, and more particularly a group of about 4 who posted some particularly offessive comments) that said, i'll wait for full story of consequences before my heart even gets close to bleeding!
so yep, apart from that, i'm great- really enjoying classes, uni life, beer,sleep....same old really, considering i was a pseudo-student from the time that you all became uni kids 2 years ago....except i now get the debt and the workload :S haha
good luck with study, i think i fancy distracting myself with a felafel sandwich before i get back to it.
miss you dear

Miss you too, sweetie. Yeah, I think the scapegoating is problematic, but moreso because it seems symptomatic of MHS not wanting to admit the problem is bigger than one student. Although you tend to find that punishing bigots for offensive beliefs is more likely to entrench those beliefs than show them their ignorance, which is a pity. It sounds like Tito's learnt a harsh but important lesson- talking shit on the internet is best done when you can't be indentified or linked back to your school. By the same token, that one guy who was telling them all they were morons from the start deserves some kind of kudos. Good luck with those whacky and retarded word limits (damned lazy markers)

Candidates for more Emo than Papa Roach (I didn't even know Papa Roach WERE Emo, I thought they were like Nu-Metal or some shite?):

AFI (my fucking god someone kill these fucks!)
10 Seconds to Mars (ARGH)
My Chemical Romance - now these guys are pop-emo and do their job pretty good (critically I don't think their music is BAD like AFI and that Mars lot, but I still don't like it in any way) Check out the names for songs on The Black Parade:

1. “The End.” - 1:52
2. “Dead!” - 3:15
3. “This Is How I Disappear” - 3:59
4. “The Sharpest Lives” - 3:20
5. “Welcome to the Black Parade” - 5:11
6. “I Don't Love You” - 3:58
7. “House of Wolves” - 3:04
8. “Cancer” - 2:22
9. “Mama” - 4:39
10. “Sleep” - 4:43
11. “Teenagers” - 2:41
12. “Disenchanted” - 4:55
13. “Famous Last Words” - 4:59
14. “Blood” (hidden track) - 2:30

FUCKING WIN.

2. “My Way Home is Through You” - 2:59
3. “Kill All Your Friends” - 4:28

:D:D:D:D

Just reminding you:
from Papa Roach's Scars (a sad reminder of the days when I dated innapropriate whiners)

"I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home"

C'mon and top that!

That's pretty bad, but I'm sure if you listen to enough AFI, 30 Seconds to Mars and My Chemical Romance, you'll find shit along the same vein.

The only teenage band worth half a shit was the motherfucking SWEET and every arsehole band since has either ripped them off or diluted their sound into black emo goo. UMM WE NOTICED, RETARDS!

Shannon Noll gets anti-props for being emo on three or more levels.

I'm pretty sure I saw that Shannon Noll requested a video clip of his on Music Max in the pub tonight.

This could be wishful thinking.
