I visit the rgs congress forum sometimes, but lately it's been getting irritating because on some threads, when something is a common problem, everyone goes and describes the problem she has. In the end, the posts in the thread tend to repeat themselves because everyone has just described her problem that has been talked about at least 10 times before by other people. bchew has already asked people to come up with constructive strategies that actually help to solve the problem; but no one seems to take note. There aren't really a lot of alternative perspectives because everyone just sits around whining about things.

And for some contentious topics such as "to have an SA week or not" there is no definite solution because last year people _hated_ SA weeks because they didn't have time to study and then now people _want_ SA weeks. And someone said (sorry if I'm not crediting you!) that the grass would always look greener on the other side, and I absolutely agree. I bet if they implement SA week again people will want the SAs to be spread out. Therefore, to solve the problem, the school should have SA week only every other year, so people are kept happy. :)

I just told someone to f___ off. [don't worry, the person isn't a friend nor family] Two years ago, I swore that I would never do this kind of thing, and then now I'm saying it in my head all the time. It's awful, crude, disgusting, and immature. But after I told that person to go away, I felt oddly satisfied. And relieved. But it's just a stupid word! And I felt better than if I would have used any other word. ._. I think I have succumbed to insidious influences. Not that I would shriek and run away if I heard someone say it, but I'm using it once too often.

Morgan used to say it all the time though, and I assume goth girl does as well, and they both had this "I don't care" vibe, i.e. sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. (okay that was a little ironic.) Gaiman uses it. Margaret Atwood uses it. So why can't I? Because it demonstrates that I don't have sufficient vocabulary to express myself. So I could have said " stop bugging me, you repressed creep. it's not my fault if no one else wants to talk to you" instead. {even though it isn't eloquent ><}

Okay if I ever ever use this word here, even for effect, someone please flame me/ physically threaten me if it isn't censored. Please.
