So they don't really care about what you write, just that you do it according to standards... and then turn around and show them why you're unique and valuable.  It makes no sense.

Holy shit, my point exactly.  Why even bother writing anything if you're not going to pay attention to it anyway?  It wouldn't feel quite so insulting if this wasn't the kind of thing used for an example.  Hey, got any tips for selling yourself, for people who aren't rabid multilingual trustfunded overachievers?

I am still sick, and I cannot currently breathe well through my nose. I also have a moderately long day tomorrow, and it is highly uncertain whether the weather will be bad enough to get the campus closed for the day. The snow we had today only went for a couple hours at most before turning back into rain, so I am not overly hopeful at the moment.

Also a bit more tired than usual, but that's hardly surprising with the above considered.

I get the same thing when doing shit like cover letters. So I waste space writing about how I hate writing about myself, saying it makes me feel like self-absorbed douchebag, before giving a brief-as-possible summary of myself.

It's worked quite well so far.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

Do everything 110%, learn Spanish, and hire a dude to invest in the stock market for you.

Spoiler: stuff (click to show/hide)
Well frig. I absolutley hate writing about myself, not because the above reasons, but also because I really don't know who I am. Seriously. Even the only memories I have of my life so far are pretty much of my worst moments (witnessing death, getting faceclubbed in an accident. Etc.)

 Snowstorm is hitting me rather hard. And the worst part is that the power outages are just flickers that remove the power from my computer.

WHY MUST YOU DO THIS? STOP IT

For the humor value.

Today, I was made sad by realizing that this post in the What Made You Sad Today thread was my 500th post, which I wasted on something not awesome.
There's a joke in here but I can't find it.

Of course, EA has to screw it up with their corporate greed.  There's a DEMO OF THE CREATURE CREATOR.  WTF.  It only contains 25% of the creature parts, the full version is TEN DOLLARS.  Why would I get the full version when I can just get it in September when the game comes out?<P>Money-grubbing EA is money-grubbing.<p>[ April 29, 2008: Message edited by: Cthulhu ]

I actually said this once.  Holy shit I know how Karkat feels, past me was a tool.

Man, I don't even want to get into my past posts.  I can still remember running around with my Intelligencia Beret and Clown Nose on, defending the subtly and humorous merits of Various Nonsense's continued existence to Kagus and Akroma.  The only guy who's a bigger pretentious dumbass than Current Aqizzar is Past Aqizzar.

What makes this sadder is that, in three days, a video with over six million views and 21000 Likes got a new highest rated comment, about Chuck Norris jokes.  Fuck I hate YouTube.
