When you're a student, everything's a potential sandwich

[friezaess]

So tomorrow is my last day of uni which means... weeks and weeks of stressing while lecturers take their sweet time marking everyone's shit. I've been getting 6's and 7's lately, so I'm hopeful. With any luck, I'll graduate in November and use my epic journalism degree to work at Queensland Newspapers... outside turning tricks for rent money.

I probably should've made more friends than I have. I tend to not connect with people very well. When I was a kid, a group of older boys used to hunt me down and give me vicious beatings in the schoolyard on a regular basis. (Teachers told me I'd get in trouble if I fought back, lawl). I tend to think of that as the point where my ability to relate to people became somewhat hampered. That plus I have a low tolerance for ego maniacal people and those that just do not shut up about themselves. Many people aren't bothered by this because they've adapted, but people those sort of one-sided conversations bore me to tears. Lots of those types in journalism, and not the ones you can get a story out of either!

Dad's playing 60's music and I'm not sure if he realises it comprises entirely of stoner ballads.

Yeah, time and time again you hear about the teachers ignoring those who get kicked around most. I suppose they figure there's only so many times they can tell the other kids to knock it off before the words lose their meaning. I have come to realise that *really* trusting people is probably never going to happen for me, and the general hatred directed at me has always made me feel unlikable. Not that I haven't had some wonderful friends over the years, it's just amusing how the past can come back to bite you in the ass.

I prefer ballads about guys down in old Soho hooking up with ladyboys.

Ooh love,
Ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Everything's all right
Just hold on tight
That's because I'm a good old-fashioned fashioned lover boy
