Why is it that acquaintances always wanna talk when I'm busy taking a break? Ugh. I mean during finals its cramming time. When I'm not studying I'm taking a break from learning, from using my mind. This includes faking polite conversation with you. If you see me in the lounge watching video's on my laptop with my headphones on, this does not mean you should approach me. It means, for now I am burned out, my brain cannot take any more learning and I need to regenerate. Unfortunately, the regeneration process is hindered by you babbling about your job, your life, or whatever the hell you talk about (because in actuality I'm not listening to anything you're saying.)
Then, when the appointed break time is over, instead of my head being empty of pain, and my lips smiling at the memory of "man getting hit in crotch with football," instead I am frowning and grumpy wondering why they hell I know that you just got your ugly new shirt from The Gap. Why can't you be like everyone else, if you don't see your real friends around, then go sit by yourself on the couches, and save acquaintance chatting for brief hallway passes. That's why hallways were invented anyway.
And just to clarify, if you are reading this blog then you are most likely not an acquaintance. For a definition of an acquaintance lets refer to the Dictionary of Whats Right According to Isi:
Acquaintance:
pronunciation - uh-kwayne-tense
Noun:
(1) person who isn't really my friend
(2) person who doesn't notice that I never acknowledge them unless they say hi first
(3) person who keeps talking to me even though I don't know their name or how they know mine
(4) person who has my phone number/email through a group project and for some reason has not thrown it away
(5) person who is dirty

People bugging you is karma because you think people getting hit by footballs in the crotch is funny. :)
Also, I am impressed that you possess regenerative characteristics. Maybe you can grow extra eyeballs and ears for multitasking purposes... experiment accordingly and get back to me.
And lastly, so I figured out why I couldn't comment succesfully before - I had missed these little special word verifications. Right now the word is "hungjoi" - what kind of word is that?
