It's so wrong, it's wrong.

Well, I have officially started the semester. I have four classes (two online, two classroom), and last night was classroom class number two.

My observations so far?

It is completely wrong that in one class, I'm the coolest person, and in another I'm the lowest on the cool scale.

Dude. Here's hoping Dawn shows up for my Selected Topics course, because she'll bump me up from the bottom rung.

Wanna know how I know this?

Criminal Law:
- A teacher's assistant in her early 40s with a bouffant
- Young construction worker type with bad haircut
- Young overworked contruction worker type with bad t-shirt
- Pretty young girl wearing Beginner White Trash leopard print top (I almost stopped her to tell her that the top was all wrong. Leopard print plus massive amounts of cleavage should be reserved for the club, not night school.)

So that makes me the top cool in that class. Like I said, that's so wrong. On a cool scale, I should fall in the middle.

But the other class knocks me to the bottom, which is also wrong.

Selected Topics in Criminal Justice:
- State Trooper who is cool as hell
- Oversexed 19 year old who only rates as cooler because he can dress decently (for a man) and is extraordinarily gifted at making money
- The baddie*

If Dawn shows next week I'll be bumped up from the bottom rung because she's nice white trash (she's a doll, but she has major puffy hair that's bleached within an inch of her life and is obsessed with the baddie's chest, even though he's never given any indication of reciprocating).

*Explanation of the baddie: He went to elementary school with me growing up. He was a year younger (I think) and just one of those guys that *is* bad. And he's in the criminal justice course track. Heh. He's not really good looking, but he's got the shaved head/perfectly tight worn jeans/motorcycle bad boy look going for him, plus great tats and a been there, done that attitude that you know women flock too. And of course he has a group of women that just adore the fact that they're "his" women, even though he's not exclusive with any of them. Honestly, this is the first time I've ever seen a guy like that in person. It's usually reserved for Hollywood.

New study shatters Internet "geek" image

CNN.com

The typical Internet user -- far from being a geek -- shuns television and actively socializes with friends, a study on surfing habits said on Wednesday.

The findings of the first World Internet Project report present an image of the average Netizen that contrasts with the stereotype of the loner "geek" who spends hours of his free time on the Internet and rarely engages with the real world.

Instead, the typical Internet user is an avid reader of books and spends more time engaged in social activities than the non-user, it says. And, television viewing is down among some Internet users by as much as five hours per week compared with Net abstainers, the study added.

*raised eyebrow*

I guess it doesn't count when you consider we watch a show then spend four days socializing with each other, discussing said show. And this doesn't take into account the fact that most modern programming on network television *sucks*. So why not spend hours on the internet talking about a show that was good instead of watching craptacular television?

Obviously they didn't interview very many fandom types.

And I still want to be an Internet geek. I cling tightly to my label. Better than Prada.

Maybe I'm a bitch...

But I'm going into law enforcement, and the one thing that pisses me off the most (beyond being normally pissed off by law-breakers of any sort) is drunk drivers. I don't give a flying fuck, no excuses, if you're drunk or have been drinking...don't drive. One of my oldest friends lost her uncle and cousin to a drunk driver. I'm all about harsh punishments for drunk drivers. Put their asses in jail and work the guilt factor.

Which is why I love this judge for nailing this little bitch's ass to the wall. She drove drunk. She decided to talk on a cell phone while driving drunk. She hit a pickup truck head on, killing the man driving, putting his pregnant wife in a coma, having the child be delivered by C-section 5 months after the accident to be raised by family...

Personally, I adore the fact that this little bitch has to carry a picture of the man she killed for five years. And the mother? Kicks ass for making sure it was a picture of her son in his coffin. Make the bitch pay. Cruel and unusual punishment my ass. She ripped that family apart. Looking at a guy in his coffin every day for five years is small in comparison.

Quick!!!!!!

Questions! I'm in the chat that will have the first bootee from America's Next Top Model. What should I ask? (Besides the obvious questions about portrayal of her as the mother figure, why on earth she responded "Christlike" to the religious question, things like that.)

My. God.

These questions! Granted, someone wanted to know what was up with stealing toilet paper from Tavern on the Green, but still...boring!

Would you let your cutie-pie son model?
Who was the nicest person?
What was Tyra like?

Argh!

ETA: Huzzah! She answered one of my questions! Wait, there's more now!

Q: Anna, now that the show has aired, how do you think you appeared?
A: I think I appeared as a very strong woman who stood up for what she knows to be true. I think that will have a greater impact on some people than others.

Q: How fair do you think it was for the first photo shoot to involve nudity when last season's contestants could opt out of the nude shoot and still progress in the process?
A: It was fair, it was fair.

Q: What is your greatest regret about the show?
A: I don't have any regrets what so ever. (Her southern was showing. *g*)

Q: How do you feel about automatically being cast as the mother and most conservative?
A: Well, I have no problem with that.

Alas, she didn't answer my question about the nudity and the Adams. But it did come out, however inadvertantly, that the one she really hopes improves because she'd like to see her do well is Shandi. And apparently Anna thought Jenascia was too "vengeful" with her rants after they all left her. Huh.
