so quit my whining 'cause it's just bringing her down;

[rocknload]

I freaking hate levade for turning drabble writing in an educational experience--does it look like I like learning new things? And hey, pushpushlady, when I actually have to take chemistry to get my nursing prerequisites out of the way, you're going to help. I just decided. Edit: Wait a second, Tanz is the one who forced me to learn about chemistry when I'm not even in school. Obviously, she's the one who should have to help me. Or both of them. Yes.

... God, you guys make me feel stupid, sometimes.

And on that note, I've been barely eating for days. I just realized!

Pfffft. Useless.

WHO SAYS I DON'T

[unicorn]

You said it! The other day. In an entry about getting your motorcycle back.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, that was only for a quarter of a mile because my helmet wouldn't fit over my glasses, and I said the wind punished me for it, didn't I?

[unicorn]

IT COUNTS.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

NOT REALLY.

[unicorn]

ONLY ACTUALLY, YES

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

NINETY-EIGHT PERCENT IS STILL AN A

ERGO, I HAVE AN A IN HELMET WEARING

I actually need a new helmet, since the one I have has been dropped a few times too many, and it's integrity has been compromised. I asked for one for Christmas, but no one gave it to me!

Borrow more money and buy one! If your parents are willing to lend to you to fix your bike, surely they will lend you more to prevent having to fix your head.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I'm going to get one when the snow melts and I'm actually riding regularly. I don't want to redecorate Flagstaff with my brains, really.

[unicorn]

I'm so proud.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

You really shouldn't be.

[unicorn]

No, really, not wanting to kill yourself is better than I expected.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Your expectations are very low.

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

Freshmen are useless. They must be MOLDED.

...YOU DO. YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.

"Huh. I haven't worn a helmet for a bicycle since I was... pffft, probably eight or nine. I doubt I even own one!"

DOCUMENTATION.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I never got much beyond being a freshman! AM I TO BE USELESS FOR ALL ETERNITY?

OH, ON A BICYCLE. WELL. IT JUST DOESN'T STRIKE ME AS THAT DANGEROUS. IF I FALL ON MY FACE FROM STANDING UP, IT'S A LONGER FALL THAN ONE FROM SITTING ON A BIKE!

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

NOT IF YOU WANT TO BE A NURSE. YOU'LL HAVE TO LEARN IT FROM THE GROUND UP.

Bicycles are generally moving faster than just standing up people. And you are more likely to get hit by cars or stopped suddenly by stationary objects.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

IT'S A TWO YEAR DEGREE. SO TECHNICALLY, NOT LIKE. DIVIDED UP INTO FRESHMEN AND STUFF.

That's true! Huh.

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

SO YOU WANT TO BE AN LPN, THEN?

Yes! It is! People die from not wearing helmets!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

AT FIRST. AND IF I DON'T HATE IT SOMEDAY I'LL GO BACK AND GET MY BACHELORS.

People die from lots of things!

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

I LIKE THIS PLAN. TRAVELING THE WORLD WILL BE MUCH EASIER WHEN YOU CAN SEW UP YOUR OWN WOUNDS AND MAKE TOURNIQUETS.

Yes, so you should try to avoid the more OBVIOUS risks!

[dudeinred.livejournal.com]

YES. ALSO, MY PATHOLOGICAL DISTRUST OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION MAY BE SOMEWHAT ALLEVIATED IF I KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING/TALKING ABOUT.

... I don't smoke!

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. YOU MUST USE YOUR SKILLS AND LEARNINGS WISELY.

That's a start.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I WILL USE IT TO THWART OTHER'S INADVERTENT ATTEMPTS TO END MY LIFE, OR MAKE IT UNHAPPY.

Actually, the reason I quit was because I didn't want my skin to age prematurely! But there are health benefits, too.

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

The ends justify the means, I supposed. But if you keep riding around without a helmet, the wind will dry out your skin and give you wrinkles! SO THERE!

What happened to you going to bed?
