I know this is a few days late, but this is not entirely unheard of.

My high school would expel any student who was "discovered" to have drank alcohol underage (they were all underage, so, basically if they discovered it) or did drugs. Didn't have to be on school grounds, but at ALL. This would be bad enough, except . . .

During one summer break, there was a pretty big party amongst the sophomores and juniors. The dean of students somehow found out about their party and actually hide behind some bushes and recorded every student he saw drinking. I think eleven or twelve kids were expelled for it. Didn't know any of them, as I was a freshman at the time, but it was pretty big news when everyone came back in September and found out a dozen kids were expelled during the summer for drinking.

Fucking Catholic schools.

Sounds like a great way to get Catholic school out of your life.

Yeah, probably.

They definitely have a "reputation to uphold" kind of system. If you go on to be a fantastic or famous person, they basically try to lay personal claim to your success, through the "education, work ethic, and honor they have instilled in you", but I always said that if for some reason, I end up becoming some sort of horrendously notorious criminal or something, I'll make sure to say "And none of this would have happened if I hadn't learned everything I know from my high school!" Be interesting to see their reactions.

My nose is a faucet.

Speaking of faucets... my sink is also broken. Realized it was leaking all over the floor, opened up the door and tried to tighten the PVC in hopes that it was a supa simple fix, but nah. :|

This reminded me of something. A few months ago my grandma called up a friend of the family, an gentleman in his 50's who is a plumber, in the middle of the night. She told him she thought a pipe burst under the sink. When he arrives he finds that there is no water on the floor, only wine. Apparently my grandmother forgot to shut the spigot on the box of wine in her fridge.

I have no point, I just thought I would share that story with the world.

[Gnome Rage]

lololol. I love the word spigot, I'm so happy you used it rather than nozzle.

Yeah, I unscrewed the cap ring piece and tried to tighten it again but it still leaks, I know if I call the landlords they'll probably just like... wrap it in tape or caulk it, which I could do myself... idk

I don't understand this sentence at all.

I made my partially ripped off fingernail "talk" for my co-workers to gross them out while it was still dripping blood. I gave it the name Jesus (Zeus!) and a background. It couldn't talk anymore after the blood dried and sealed it shut again under the Band-Aid but hey! It's ripping off again today so no more frown. It hurts like fuck typing, though.

Aaaaand I just read Kastrel's adequate explanation and interpretation of my post. Oh well. I'll leave this here because I'm faintly miffed that he chose to use the gender neutral "their" rather than "her" for me.

[Latrinsorm]

I didn't notice that (gendering) at first but I tittered in retrospect and reflexively protected my man region.

[DCSL]

Is there something about my posting style that is not feminine?!

... she asked, secretly totally aware of that something.
