So people were posting in really old threads. It was such a hassle for the mods. sweatdrop I have no idea how they could find them, though. sweatdrop Not only were the threads really old, but very far back from the first Egosearch page. @_@
Anyway, the point is, the word "necroing" was used. I've never used this word myself, but I've heard of it before. So it got me thinking about all the words that are Gaia-specific (for the most part). Like bump, necro, whore, lurker, swoosh, filter, link hunter, rare, event...I know I'm forgetting a ton. I suppose some of them are forum-specific and not Gaia-specific, but I like the subculture of it. whee I'd never use these words in normal conversation in real life. But sooner or later, something will end up in the dictionary as a formal definition. If it can happen to a word like "bootylicious", it can happen to anything. xd

My House
So I tried to change my House to make it look like a poker game. ninja Gassy's pretty much the only one so far to make it look like a wild party. I, of course, am the dealer. wink I need more tables or something. For some very strange reason, I've had this avatar in my head for months and months. But I've never made it up until now. xd
An Inactive Summer?
I may become totally inactive in the summer. Not by choice...I think I may not have Internet access at all. stare How I'll survive, I have no idea. I truly don't. sweatdrop I take too much of my life for granted. sad
Quotable Quotes
I've been meaning to do this for awhile. Just random quotes from real people that I find funny. Most of them are from students like myself, or professors. xd [Warning: Slight profanity ahead. But what do you expect? >_>]
Biology student
God, I hate that class. I just sit there in class bitching and cursing her. stressed
Organic chemistry student
I was trying to figure out chirality [an organic chemistry concept] without the ball-and-stick models, and I almost had a stroke. gonk

Student: [about old customs of explaining the world] Maybe they thought that the virgin they sacrificed just didn't do it for them.
Prof: Let's use "goat" next time...All of you here are virgins, anyway.

One of the funniest professors
OK, so then you get a question like this in your exam, and you're just like "s**t, I don't know what the hell's going on..."
One my hardest professors
Well, I don't know why you all did so poorly on the midterm. The attendance rate for this class is extremely high, and I see all of you taking notes when I speak. A number of you come to the tutorials and ask questions. I just don't understand why your results have not been good.
Quote:
Student 1: So after the plants take up water from the soil, and transpiration works because.
Student 2: What do you mean, "because"? You can't write that on the exam. xd
Student 1: Well...it works...because. ._.

My biochemistry professor
Organic chemists have too much time on their hands, and that's how they get so fouled-mouthed. Same thing with crystallographers. They have nothing to do, and so they get into all sorts of mischief.
A Teaching Assistant
All we really do is read the lab manual three more times than you do.

I hate the education system. Particularly here, but that's because I live here.
I've got to think up more interesting Journals entries. This is the best I can do. sweatdrop
