I just want to say that I am appalled at the number of you people who play this game while you are at work!

*Wonders how anything ever gets done in RL.*

*flails* OMG I KNOW. I just spent like three hours mucking around on here when I have a paper due tomorrow. That I've written about three sentences for. *facepalms*

Fandom High: My Fake School Trumps my Real School!

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-10-20 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
*HIGH FIVE* I had a paper due last week that I ended up pulling an all-nighter for...because I had Rory or possibly Becky caught up in some drama that naturally took precedence over RL. Hee.

I have two papers, a project and a speech all due within two weeks...and my biggest concern when I was assigned all of this was, "How is that going to cut into my [livejournal.com profile] fandomhigh time?"

To be fair, though, as far as work (the money-making kind) goes...I do freelance writing and editing from home, and so it's pretty damn easy for me to stay on top of my job while still playing on here. :)

So very, very true.

My Fake School classes have begun to infiltrate my Real School classes. And you know what? It doesn't hurt any of them...or you! [laughs maniacally on the FH crack]

Hey, I'm only playing from work this week because my supervisor's on a trip to China and it's slow at work anyway, so I can get away with it.

But I get all twitchy when I can only make three or four comments until I get home.

::cough::

My Creative Writing teacher asked if anyone could define "subtext" last week.

I almost answered "The magical land where Lee Adama and John Crichton have massive manlove makeout sessions."

Thankfully, I gave a real answer, instead.

Also, I had to enter a work order for one of our employees to take a trip to Denmark, and all I could think was "OMG Mr. Canute Mimir Fluffypants!"

Bwaa!

I'm actually starting to wish actual talking had a strikethrough option, just so I could use FH subtext in RL

Strangely, the paper is on cultural studies. I wonder if I can count this as research?

I actually caught myself gesticulating wildly, trying to draw an invisible line-in-the-air through what I was saying to someone.

*facepalm*

[identity profile] sogothcally.livejournal.com 2005-10-20 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. We need to work on this. This needs to be done. It may be impossible, but dangit, we can try!

[identity profile] cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com 2005-10-20 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Fandom High is a culture unto itself. You'd have the most original paper of anyone!

[identity profile] kawalsky.livejournal.com 2005-10-20 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Yes it does. Because I said so and we cultural types are smart, yes'um.

Are you saying we should actually justify the time we put into FH? :P

My work's cyclical, which means that sometimes I'm busting my ass to get things done, but a lot of the time I'm twidling my thumbs anyway because we're caught up and then some, so I might as well be playing and keeping my mind active. And I'm damned good at what I do and can get my work done quickly without sacrificing quality. :) (Nope, no humility here. :D)

Thankfully, I don't have class till 1:00 tomorrow. But still, there's this paper, and a lovely assignment on verbal valence-changing operations that I'm trying to pretend doesn't exist.

(i totally need an OOC icon, but i'm too attached to my IC ones to part with any of them!)

AHAHAHAHA

win.

Maybe some sort of Darth Vader-esque voice changer?

There is this one really goofy picture from WireImage I could use- NO I WILL NOT BUY EXTRA USERPICS BAD KIMERA BAD.

Bah. *waves hand* It's not like the machines don't run themselves...
