If they treat education like a product, they can't very well bitch when you act like a consumer.

Apple Zone / Re: Open Bar MMXIV^2: Solace of Quantum
« on: June 13, 2013, 02:59:12 pm »Well, Trondheim. Something like 600 kr per way, cheaper if I find some Minipris tickets but they're not NOW.And to add to all this madness:
Being consistently stupidly happy and seriously making plans to hitchhike 350 kilometres (spending 180$ on train tickets is not an option for me at the moment) to meet someone does suggest that I'm in love or something.
$180? where are you going? Azerbaijan?
Anyway, the stupidly happy being in love thing is all kinds of awesome!

Had my last exam today (jazz piano), basically done with high school now.
I'm just happy I managed to keep my attendance high enough to get graded in all subjects. Especially after all those days this winter when I was so depressed I felt like dropping out of school entirely. My grades are even quite good.
I'm moving out in August. This is both an exciting and frightening thing.

If I ever get in a position where I have to write job adverts, I will insist on including "introversion", "sober, realistic outlook on life", "ambivalent relationship to humanity" and "healthy skepticism towards authority figures" in the list of desirable personal qualities.

+1000 at being unusually nice to people.
Yesterday I hitchhiked for the first time ever. I like to think I made a lonely 50-something on disability benefits (this is what I imagine he was, I don't know exactly) feel a little bit more useful and appreciated during those 5 kilometres.

Last night I dreamed that posted a link on Facebook to a song I had written. Lots and lots of people commented, hundreds, many of them I had no idea who were. My dream consisted of just watching the stream of comments coming, some of it read in the voice of those who posted them. Someone made some stupid remark, misogynistic I think, and this was replied to with long angry ranting. This was responded to with more angry ranting. In the end there was lots of caps lock and exclamation marks but no communication. People just shouted their opinions (completely unrelated to my song!) out loud with their ears closed and rode their own personal hobby horses to the brink of death. They didn't notice each other, they didn't notice other people's arguments. It was sad. I choose to interpret this dream as a metaphor for humanity.

Isolation is nice. I like it, though you turn slightly crazy from it. You get a different perspective on how the world works, more unfiltered maybe. You get time to rethink things, think about how you relate to other human beings. I've noticed that I appreciate my interactions with humans a lot more now that I live in this cabin
But even though I enjoy solitude, I also need other people to avoid becoming lonely. Few things make me feel better than good conversations, or even just the quiet presence of another person.
I also need other people there to correct me, because sometimes I'm completely wrong. Many times. Terribly wrong.

It is hereby decreed that:
LIFE is too short and nasty, and the world too full of shit, for good people to be allowed to walk around without being appreciated, without being let to know that they, by existing, make the/my world a little bit warmer, a little bit friendlier and a little bit more beautiful.
THIS DECREE SUPERSEDES ALL SOCIAL ANXIETY

The concept of normality is strange.
You can be a huge fucking asshole and still be considered normal. You can wear slightly weird clothes, behave slightly weird, talk slightly weird, look slightly weird and suddenly you're an outsider. It doesn't really surprise me then, that half of Norway seems to be mentally ill at times, when the idea of normality is so narrow that you almost need to be crazy to fit in. We live in an awfully conformist society. I want to fight for a warmer and weirder society with a more inclusive idea of what normality is.

There should be scholarships for people who just want to live alone in the woods and drink beer and think about stuff.
(there are a lot more of them, I just have to separate the interesting ones from my attempts at gibberish poetry and thought experiments about sharing a joint with Franz Kafka)

I always told myself that my use of drug threads was at an acceptable, moderate level, but I was wrong. I was just a moderate drug thread user. I mostly did drug threads at parties. Some guy would find a laptop. He would laugh out loud and shout "HAHA, YOU MUST LOOK AT THIS, THIS GUY STILL BELIEVES IN THE GATEWAY DRUG THEORY" and invite the others to look at drug threads with him. Then we would look at drug threads until the morning, giggling excitedly.
It's exhilarating.
It's addictive.
And then you come down.
You feel empty inside, as if you've had part of your soul sucked out of you. Directionless. Bored. Anxious. You feel crippled socially. You search desperately to find something to fill the void inside you. I drank heavily, smoked marijiuana, smoked cigarettes, ran naked around in the forest, I even performed elaborate sacrifices to Satan himself, just because I wanted to FEEL SOMETHING. And I didn't. I eventually returned to the drug threads, because that was the only thing that helped. Of course that only made it worse in the long run, making me turn to the stronger stuff. Being a dickish atheist on social media. Donuts. Meth.
Luckily, I managed to stop before it ruined my life completely. I got help. You too can get help! But drug thread addiction receives very little attention both in the media and in academic circles, so there are still few options for treatment. I'm currently working for a lobbying group working to increase funding for the sadly underfunded Drug Thread Enforcement Agency, and hopefully that can change.

Just heard a right-wing politician say that carrying other flags than the Norwegian in our Constitution Day parades on May 17th would be like "if our royal family had been from another country."
Well, um, yeah...
