There's a new chapter up….but I don't have anything clever to say about this one.  

Might I suggest: 

BEHOLD! THOU HAD THOUGHT THAT I HAD NAUGHT BUT GLORIOUS, BEAUTIFUL MAJESTY! BEHOLD HOW MY WRATH CANST BE BAUTIFUL AS MINE GLORIOUS JOY! ALL SHALL BOW BEFORE MY CREATIONS AND GLORY IN THEIR SORROW!

 

 

I do hope that it suited your needs.

now for the rant.

...

Okay I'm back. I'm very... excited... about your story. Please continue soon.

Guantanimo Bay is

My friend makes a joke all the time. That I'm from guantanimo bay (with an added swear) and goes on about how I escaped from there, how I commited horrendous crimes to get there.How they shaved my head, and how they tortured me, among other things. Most of my friends ignore him, but it's kinda hard to ignore, not when he's making other "jokes" about me as well.

He never gets the hint, that it's really not a nice thing to say. And I can't do anything about it, because he's in my friend group, and in half of my classes.

Have you thought of saying "Storm off, you insensitive bigot" before snatching up your lunch and going off to eat alone? I'm serious. Maybe don't go for something that extreme if you're not comfortable with it, but he needs to be put in his place and your other friends need to know that no, you are not okay with this. If they're ignoring his comments, then they're probably not comfortable with the joking either, perhaps ignoring it in hopes it will go away, perhaps waiting to see if it's getting to you before they jump to your defense. Chances are, if you stand up to him, your other friends will stand up for you.

I don't like being alone. and storm it, I need company. I just smile at him and look disapointed to be honest. And most of the time, we roast each other like that, although that person, does take it to the extreme, and he also has the balls to ask help from me afterwards. I've asked him multiple times why he's a dickhead, and he just mimes pulling out a revolver, filling the chambers and shooting himself. And says I annoy him all the time. I will admit I am loud a fair bit, and I am quite queer. but don't you guys agree that isn't sufficient reason? Unless I'm horribly mistaken. I've told him to storm off quite alot of times, but he's a stubborn bastard.

Also re: Busking; back in Aug there was this guy in Adelaide playing this pipe thing with a pair of flip flops, sounded a lot like drums but with a low wooden wind instrument sound

I've seen that in bad science museums....possibly Questacon too?

I must have a really good poker face.

I've been complaining a lot about the American election at work. Somehow, my colleagues have gotten the impression that I am our residential American politics expert... to the extent that I spent an hour this morning telling a guy what Guantanimo Bay is, how congress works, and what the deal with the American Constitution is.

I realize none of that is really indepth information or anything, so I was surprised the guy didn't know about it. I was even more surprised that, apparently, I sound like I know what I'm talking about, when I have a really simple, basic understanding of how stuff works. 

I've said it before: my English degree has taught me how to give the impression that I know what I'm talking about. 

This is advantageous

When dogs kiss each other, they're acknowledging that dog as their leader. 

Between the dog park and my complex, I've been kissed by three dogs I just met. 

Maybe they like to keep their options open?  

Lick = kiss?

Your friends might not want to jump in if you're not saying anything; you need to make urban very clear that calling you a terrorist is a red line and no matter what joke insults you throw at each other, that's not ok. Just keep repeating and stop joking when he says that. If you're brave enough to walk away, and your friends stay with the racist, they're pretty darn crappy friends to begin with and you can do better. 

Thirdly, if your school has any halfway decent staff you can report this jerk to authorities. It's not just him being rude, it's flat out societally unacceptable.

*raises eyebrow* never said anything about them calling me a terrorist in fact, the one who's a dick to me is the one we call the terrorist. And I can't do much better when the school I go to is actual cancer. Here's a recount.

The Yr 7s are all autistic i swear, and they are...plain retarded. They run around yelling out dead memes (Ds out for Harambe!!) and think they are "big boys" now.

The Yr 8s are all right, but they are annoying as f

The Yr 9s (my year) are either full of either teens that are full of themselves, or lebs that go around staunching everyone and claiming their from ISIS

The Yr 10s are alright, but there's no way I would be able to hang out with them.

The Yr 11s are all druggos

The Yr 12s are all lads, way out of my league. There are some really nice people there, but sadly they're leaving school now.

And our staff is horrendous, there are a couple of teachers that are mad(good thing) but they aren't in a position to do anything.

I do attempt to talk to him, but like I said before, he's just plain stubborn, and thinks he's right. Although truth be told he's a decent person at heart I know for a fact, he's just a hater I guess, with a particular grudge against me. I don't want to approach him in public, but I'll try and get him in private over the next few weeks before I leave for holidays.

Thanks guys.

Re: Busking, one night in Salt Lake City, I came across a guy playing bagpipes on a street corner on my way back to my car from Salt Lake Comic Con. It was so weird and awesome I just had to give him some cash.

I know this was posted forever ago, but once when I was walking down the streets of Tel Aviv and I saw a street performer playing traditional Passover songs...on bagpipes...in the middle of the summer. (For those who aren't aware, Passover is in the spring.)

It was...interesting.

It's actually only been a few days... If it seems like forever, it's just because this thread moves so fast. XD

Ramat Hagolan
Petach Tikvah
Tel Hashomer ( I think that's a hospital?)
Kiryat Arba

I'm going to guess that there's more to Oz's miracle cure than meditation and herbs.  

Edit: Was….was that the extent of Riley's plan? "Step 1: Get Oz. Step 2: Leave." Did he forget that he's in a top-secret paramilitary facility? Good Gandhi, I didn't mind him up to this point, but now I'm wondering what Buffy sees in him.

Pfft. He wouldn't last one day in the Funtimes Military, for crying out loud. The Funtimes Military. An army that blows raspberries instead of saluting and doesn't care if you shove an entire peanut butter sandwich into your mouth instead of standing at attention.
