Having an Epica time

In college you can kind of just tell who all the REALLY lame people are based on how often they jump at the opportunity to talk about their awesome drinking skills and their lame stories about them and their heretofore nameless friends. THAT is a fact of life, you know it to be true! These kinds of people are so convinced that they are awesome that they will spread it to the world, whether or not we want to hear it at all.

It really gets quite annoying that every time I go into work at RenXchange, my telemarketing job, I am immediately met with scores of lame nerds (remember, I'm a nerd too, but at least I don't play Warcraft and talk about the internet and forums all the time right? Doesn't that count for something?) who, in a desperate attempt to feel cool, talk about nothing but how awesome they are at going to parties and drinking and doing all sorts of shenanigans. Don't get me wrong, parties are fun and all but it's just proof of your own boring life if you have top dwell on these things long enough after the fact to have to explain that there was no snow on the ground when they took place--some crucial piece of information when you're describing that beach bikini party that clearly didn't happen in the past 3 months what with all frostbite and whatnot.

Basically, next time you want to tell me how many beers you drank this past weekend, save it for someone who cares, if you think I want to hear it, then don't hold your breath.

Oh yeah, and noone on facebook cares about you finding your lonely cows on farmville.

The Epica concert was, to say the least, epic. Too bad I left my camera, there were plenty of fellows there taking pictures! Maybe 70% of the people in attendance were huge nerds--when the band's cover of the Imperial March from Star Wars played, the entireity of the Worcester Palladium was thrown into a high state of chaos.

I finished my first Creative Writing assignment for realsies today ("Poor Little Lambs")--accessible via Tom and my writing blog "Some Form of Singularity". Or you could drop me a line and I'll send a copy! ;)
