  • "You're no fun!"

    I am a full time student. I may not be taking as many credits as I was last year, due to the fact that I had to drop a class, but my schedule is pretty full and my math class is killing me with homework. Attending class and getting homework done is my priority. I can have fun later on or during the weekend.

    I am sorry that I am not a procrastinator most of the time. Sometimes I can be, but for the most part, I like to get stuff done asap. If I have to do Math section 3.4 numbers 1-16 (and as some of you know, the less math problems you have, the harder and longer each one is), read a chapter of W.E.B. Du Boise's 'The Soul of Black Folk' for Black Literature, read a few chapters of 'Saints of Augustine' for Gay and Lesbian Literature for Young Adults, and write a short response paper for my Intro to Gay Studies class, I am gonna go get that done first.

    People not understanding that I need to be responsible is just pissing me off. You would think some of them would understand because they are students themselves, but I guess not. According to one of my friends, I am a pansy because I won't celebrate Halloween tomorrow. Look, I'm celebrating it today because tomorrow is Sunday. On Sundays, I pretty much devote myself to homework, plus I have to be at class at 8am, so I want to get enough sleep.

    It's not like I don't give myself time off. Friday after class and all through Saturdays are my days off. I go have fun with people on those days. If I get everything I need to get done done on Sundays, then I am open to hanging out.

    Btw, my Halloween isn't at a complete loss. Gonna have dinner with my friend Curly and we are going to watch Friday's episode of Supernatural and probably watch a movie together after that. We are going to an on campus Halloween party tonight, so I am celebrating. Just doing that early.

    Wait... so your friends are getting on your case 'cause you're doing the Halloween party thing on Saturday (today) instead of on Sunday?

    Feh, what a bunch of jerks.

        I'm so used to being called a pansy, Debbie Downer, and Susan Do Good that I really don't care anymore.

        I'm one of the only people I know that takes care of all my expenses all on my own, only gets help when it's dire, doesn't have a load of debt collectors or creditors after me (I have had a bouch or two with a collection agency over medical bills, but it's not a constant battle like with some people I know), I don't depend on anyone else to take care of me or pay my way, I don't live with my parents, everything for me is done by me.

        I think that's something to be proud of. When I can afford it, I will do things with people, otherwise, too effing bad. Some of my friends are willing to be stuck at their parents' house for several more years because they won't quit partying, or my one friend whose husband makes enough money for the both of them, she just doesn't get why I can't afford to go places or do expensive things. Must be nice to not have to pay any kind of bills.

        I know it's a little different than your situation lil sis, but there is NOTHING to be ashamed of or apologize for, for being responsible and grown up.

          Good thing these people aren't friends with my friend, S. He's part of our normal D&D group, but he told us a couple of weeks ago that he was no longer going to be available to play, period, until the end of November. He's a grad student, see, so he works full-time during the week, takes classes a couple times a week in the evenings, and for the last couple weeks and next month, will be doing nothing but studying all weekend long.

          Do I think it sucks? Sure I do. Do I wish he could take a couple hours a weekend to hang out with us? Yeah, but I'm not going to pressure him into it. He told us he was unavailable and that's that; we understand. Besides, it's not forever; if he passes his classes this semester, he'll be able to graduate with his master's and then he'll have all the free time in the world, so we're looking forward to being able to hang out with him and his wife two or three times a week starting after (American) Thanksgiving.

            I know that line all to well.

            By nature I am not a party person and during college I didn't have a job during the school year. By not partying I ended up saving a lot of money, graduate college, and get an wonderful job as an engineer. I am now working on getting a slush fund/big down payment and my 401K funded. This is while paying off student loans twice as fast.

            Sometimes being "No Fun" is a lot of fun down the road.

              I have been labeled as "no fun" at times. Part of it is because of my personality. I'm not a very gregarious person, and I never will be. It's just not in my nature to do that. Likewise, I tend to have monotone reactions to most things that happen. It's just my nature. I can't help it.

              Because of this, I have been labeled a bore and told that I have no personality.

                People are going out Sunday night instead of Saturday night?

                Pretty sure they are doing it wrong.
