HSC, Growing Out of Friends and Sesame Street

The NSW Higher School Certificate started today, a form of high school leaving certificate that rewards rote learners and crammers. Good luck to all the students sitting the HSC =)

On a happier note, I have found that bigger people, better people don't need to put others down to make themselves look good. I know, this is one of those sayings that gets bandied around a bit, and it's only when you have a personal experience that you understand what it means. I think I'm going to express it in the only way I know how. Here it is:

I'm drumming my fingers on the keyboard, I love the dr-r-r-r-r-r sound it makes. It's been a long day, and the lights of the library are no replacement for the natural light that's fighting to get through the 10 metres between the glass ceiling in the enclosed garden and the window beside me. I'm still staring at my Facebook page, though I know that I shouldn't be. It's only been two days since the break-up, and regardless of what anyone says, just because I was the dumper doesn't mean it hurts any less. I refresh the page again, just in case. Still nothing. I'm not sure what I'm waiting for exactly. A message? A post? Anything, I guess. Some recognition that a big part of my world had changed. Still nothing. I drum my fingers again. D-r-r-r-r-r-r. Then, a little red speech bubble blinks at me. It's C, it's harsh, and it's not what I need right now:

m is a loser. you know it but won't admit it. why are you still with him? you say you don't want to hurt his feelings. fuck him. why don't you think about yourself? don't you care? must i make it my duty to make you care?

you give me nothing to work with, cut me out when i say something you don't like and, i don't even know. help me help you, please?



What? Was he being serious? Surely not? I click to his profile page. All he ever said these days were insults to other people. I click again. I'd had enough of this. Unfriend. It had certainly been a long time coming.

Wow. For a first attempt that was exceptionally horrible. 


Apparently someone hacked the Sesame Street Youtube page and posted porn. After initially reading, I did laugh, though after thinking about it, it's a bit weird. Who gets kicks from subjecting little kids to that kind of thing?


Anyway, back to monotony.
