Gah.....

Several things have been irritating me for the past couple of weeks.

First things first, some information. Each student is able to log onto the uni "intranet" and are grouped according to our courses and modules taken. Here, we can download stuff like lecture notes uploaded by the lecturer, post messages on the discussion board and send private messages to each other. One of the major gripes I have are the stupid people that use the fucking discussion board.
One person will put a message up which is directed to everyone such as, oh I don't know, "Does anyone know if/when the coursework marks will be released?".
Some smartdumb ass replied with "I don't know, ask other people" and another said "Don't ask me, I don't know. Maybe someone else will."

WTF GUISE. THE QUESTION WAS DIRECTED AT EVERYONE. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING SMART TO SAY OR IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE FUCKING ANSWER, DON'T FUCKING POST ANYTHING.

I rage because the pop-ups always notify me whenever someone replies and it irks me when I click the link only to find out that some retard left his retarded message to someone's question. But I can't NOT click it because lecturers sometimes answer questions there (they're encouraging students to interact with lecturers through the use of this intranet rather than the usual e-mailing system. Fucking pointless if you ask me). Thus, if I just ignore all notifications, I get to ignore potentially useful information from lecturers about the exams, coursework or whatever.

This then leads me onto pointless and short postings. Someone asks "Can someone explain how to get the answer to question x.xx? I use the formula but it doesn't work out to be the same."
Retard replies with "Dunno", "Ask the lecturer" or more irritatingly, "Dnt no".

WTH. IF YOU DON'T FUCKING KNOW, SHUT THE HELL UP.
ASKING THE LECTURER IS FUCKING OBVIOUS. IF THE PERSON ASKING DIDN'T GO TO THE LECTURER FIRST, THEN THEY'RE EVEN MORE RETARDED THAN YOU AND DOESN'T DESERVE TO KNOW HOW TO GET THE RIGHT ANSWER.

That third retarded reply leads me onto my next point. Fucking text-speak. On this blog, I try to maintain what shitty grammar and spelling skills I have. Naturally, I will make mistakes because I write faster than I think and generally do not look at the screen while I type. However, I will never resort to writing with crappy shortened words because they suck and makes the English language cry.
It pisses me off even more when it's used in VERY short text messages. When I mean short messages, I mean texts which will take up ONE WHOLE text message anyway, but the sender insists to shortening it anyway. Many of my friends are guilty of this and it fucking irritates me. To the point where I just ignore their last text and say I ran out of credit to save my eyes from seeing that shitty shortened message. I only use shortened words when I have enough credit left for that one SMS. This is a pretty recent example:

Me - Lol, chose not 2go coz ***** said 2pay full price! Will meet u guys 1:30 at the station. No credit left so this is my last txt. Cya tomorrow!!
Friend - kcy

WTF. No matter how fucking short you make it, it doesn't mean it will use less than ONE SMS. Your damn network provider doesn't charge text messages by the number of character you (don't) use!

Then I think of the people who use pointlessly short versions of long messages, when a slightly shortened long message would be better. The most irritating of which I have EVER recieved is "tk cre ov yorself yh!".

"tk" - Fine, I get it, "take"
"cre" - It seems you have left one letter out but fine, "care"
"ov" - *facepalm*
"yorself" - Well, you could've shortened it to "urself" and it would look better, sound less retarded and take one less character
"yh" - Pointless. If you're shortening it all, why bother including this??

"tk cre ov yorself yh" uses 20 characters.
"Take care!" uses 10. Including the exclamation mark.

I realise that all this may sound like it's just me being anal, but doesn't it annoy anyone else??

CF exam was "gah" but I was being stupid in a couple of the questions and wrote bollocks.
G&S was pretty OK.

Got Marketing tomorrow.
FMI - 11/05
Micro II - 13/5
Macro II - 21/05

Am halfway through. Just another three weeks to go!!

I am addicted to Tourai (Tolie/minato/Ryusei-P), Clear, Crimson and the voices of several others on Nico. Gawd, Tolie's voice is very nice and soothing. I'm freaking addicted to his cover of Crystal Mic and Meltdown. Plz do moar.
I am loving From Y To Y covered by Tolie and THAT. Their voices are very nicely matched :D

Although, this is probably my favourite cover of Meltdown. It's got the right mix of ever-so-smexy voices but the song needs to be longer....
And can someone else please tell me that I'm not the only one who finds 0:45 very sexy?? Specifically, the line starting with "Yaketsuku".

revision/exam stuffs, rant, real life
