five minutes to kill yourself.

so. there is a new game on adultswim.com. it's kick ass. and it's called 5 minutes to kill (yourself).
as you might guess from it's utterably imaginative title, the obect is to kill yourself, using various office supplies, in five minutes, before the next staff meeting your boss expects you to attend. so you have to walk around the office, looking for things like staplers and scissors or angry co-workers. there are even joint-object actions, meaning if you pick up a lighter and then find a bottle of this stuff that looks like bug spray or lighter fluid or something, you can set yourself on fire!isn't this so morbid?!it's great though. you should all check it out.

^there you are^.=)

a quotable moment.

Julia- They're so kids don't kill themselves by jumping out of the car window.

John- ........Because their parents are blasting country music?

a random spurt of disgust with society.

so....i haven't posted in a bit. been busy with schools and other such pointless endeavors. and i don't say it's pointless just to be the stereotypical, anti-authourity teenager. i mean that it's really, really pointless at this point. do you know when the last time i learned something remotely interesting was? quite possibly not even in the last 8 1/2 months. (not counting the fact that i learned that tape worms can be 30 feet long. but that was from a movie that i really didn't need to pay attention to anyway, so it doesn't count.)
i blame this whole 'no child left behind' crap. and to those of you who rally in defense of it, i say it again, it's crap. it started out as a good idea i suppose; the only problem is that the smart kids don't get anywhere. if they could make away that the honors kids can advance while the regents and rp kids can advance at their own pace, instead of dragging down the rest of the class, then it would be a good idea. someone should try telling that to our administration though.
whatever. i have to say au revoir, as mother is demanding my service with chores.
later;
