A friend of mine turned 21 yesterday, and just about everyone informed him that they would get him totally smashed either that night or this weekend at the LARP that he attends. He did not want to, but they kept on talking over him. When I asked them if they had considered his feelings on the matter, they guffawed and acted like how he felt about it was inconsequential, they were going to do it anyway. That laughing indifference really, really infuriates me. I wish I had the power to stop them. I hope no one tries to pull that with me when I turn 21, for their benefit and for mine ... friend or father, I refuse to tolerate that kind of treatment.

I have met some of the flakiest people ever this year. They're very nice, actually, just ... honestly untrustworthy, and they expect you to forgive them for their failings. I have to wonder how they manage to pass the classes that we share, given that we do have attendance requirements.

Everyone and their mother assigning their midterm all in one go was a bad move on the part of academia. Same with finals. Bad idea. Bad stress. Bad kharma for those system adminstrators!

I had to kill cute Tonberries (attired in chef outfits no less) in Crystal Chronicles. This would be bad enough on its own, but the boss of that particular level wiped the floor with my poor little Yuke, and the inability to save while in a level makes that an incredibly ... frustrating experience for me. I have little desire to go back and do that particular level all over again. Must work up the inspiration.
