Could you love a monsterman?
"Why?" You may ask. "Why?" I asked. They say that it's a waste of time.
The one thing that really irks and bothers me to the extreme is that learning I'm not going to university makes me realise... how much time was wasted training me up to go to university!
Think about it.
How many hours were spent teaching me stuff I need not know? How many hours of countless exams (we british are notorious for over-testing the students)? How many hours of talks on personal statements and similar shit? How many hours next year will I spend having these talks...????
And what's it all for? I have the GCSEs, and I can easily get a low-paid job out of them. I've already sat my AS-levels, etc etc... To be perfectly honest I don't understand my parent's decision, but then again, they would be the ones funding it so without their support I cannot go. Simple as.
At least, I guess, I won't need to write that bloody personal statement. What's the point? "Hi I'm Randy I'm great I want to do this subject at uni because I've got nothing better to do for the next 3 years. For the past 18 years I've been playing computer games and looking up porn on the internet."
Tutor's response: "Wow! They could play video games when they had just been born?!? They must be smart!!" etc.
Ahem. Anyway.
So here are they with their new collars.
Sorry you can't see Rosco's one that well, but his collar has managed to get engulfed in his fur. Similar problem with Jasper.
They really didn't like their collars at first. Jasper was the first victim, and when we got the collar out of the packaging, he stood up on his hind legs and put his front paws on my leg and tried to reach up at the collar, because he wanted to know what it was. He was rather surprised when I put it behind his neck and clipped it into place. He hunched over in the corner and looked like he'd just been sprayed in the face with a surface cleaner. When he got up again, he heard the little bell ring, and sharply turned to see what was behind him. This went on for about 15 minutes, until he realised what it was and somehow (don't ask me how) he managed to get the collar stuck in his mouth, like a horse's bit.
Rosco was even worse, though. When his was fixed 'round his neck, he hunched himself over and would not move, and gave a pitiful look, like he'd just been raped. Also, he got his collar in his mouth, too. So erm we did er tighten these collars, don't worry. And this morning, Rosc was playing with the bell, pawing it and chewing on it so I don't think he minds anymore.
We've also nicknamed them the court jesters, because... umph work it out.
I'm going now. The tintinnabulation of these bells is driving me mad.
Anyway, I believe the 'low paid jobs' either involve "Do you want fires with that?", "do you have a Clubcard?" or a broom... unappealing, somewhat.
As for jobs you can get now, with A levels, you still require training. And I think you need a degree to do animation. I think. And university is probably going to be more fun now. (I really want to go - away from Mum and coco pops for brekfast! - oh, and a better education lol).
And finally, you could try the 'it's not fair' route, as I belive Phillipa and Steven attend(ed) university?
screamed in a loud screamy voice at 10:39 PM Do you know any place I may buy a coffin backpack? I decided that my old bag was too large, the wrong shape, the wron colour and smells funny.
Preferably with a bat on the beck as I like bats, and no crosses or pentacles as a) no crosses EVER and b) atheist so no religious imagery.

Nah I'll tell you and I won't hate you. I only know of internet sites with these bags. Try this baby for size.
