Student "edition" found at {thoughts dot com slash typed no space out no space loud slash blog}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

I may have written what was supposed to be intended for here in the student accessible version, because all I can think about right now are things that I want to post there as well, where what I did write there for today would have been placed here a few months ago because of its viciousness.

@@ Speaking of ferocity, sure the net is all about self expression, but lashing out at almost everybody and not in a well written way at that, especially given how the near subtlety of having general posts (and not directly to the wall of the intended ear, or eye) is easily lost, not a good sign.

Maybe you should unplug for a while, and concentrate on more physical outlets to your aggression.

And that includes thinking every potshot of every person posting out there is about you. Everyone has their own misfortunes. You are so vain you probably think this post is about you. But this time you will be right.

@@ Now seems a good time as any for me to outline the reasons of why I was not in the last major activity of the student council.

First of all, I had already denied it, but I was overruled by the dean, who saw it fit to change her mind after backing me up.

Second, the students had the right to change their mind, moving the activity again from the last weekend of February to the second weekend of March, where it definitely conflicted with another activity I had already set.

So barring that everything else in my calendar became clear, which it did not, as no one could buy the ticket I had already gotten for that previous, I was supposed to make them and their nebulous schedule my priority.

Still this illustrated that everyone had the right to change their mind, except for me, because what the students had pushed and what the dean agreed with them on is that once I signed approval of the activity, I had to go through with it, even though I was reluctant enough to write it in a letter.

If I had been there would I have been able to stop the rain? Well, still keeping my School of Witchcraft and Wizardry credentials secret, then the answer to that is I could not, so it would have been pointless.

Would I have pushed the students to continue as soon as possible instead of delaying as long as they did?

I would have, but the final decision would still have been on them, with the additional resentment that there I was gloating over their mismanaged event and now telling them things they should have thought about in the first place. And part of me would have given all that criticism.

The other part of me would just have stood in one corner ignoring all the bad happenings, clearly still washing my hands of the event because I was against it in the first place. Would that have been better than not being there at all? Maybe, but the input from me would have been the same.

Would they have asked me for help? They did not, because I did not receive a text at all that night, so my presence there would not have made any difference really, as things probably would have proceeded as they did.

Session 3031 just realized that that sort of boycotting fits the definition of passive aggressive behavior. Class dismissed.
